Closing my eyes for a second, I gasped when a pair of hands grabbed my arms and struggled to lift me up. "Come on, Kat, work with me for once" opening my eyes, I saw my sister helping me up off the floor as Billy and Stu stand by the front door.

"Dad?" I croaked as my twin place my arm around her shoulder, quickly pulling me away from the kitchen

"he's safe," she whispered, dragging me along with her.

looking down at her choice of outfit, I frowned, "what the hell are you wearing?" Sidney ignored me as she opened a closet door and gently sat me on the floor before pulling the door shut behind us.

Kneeling next to me, I watch her pull out a phone and voice changer. "Do you know Stu's number" nodding took the phone from her as she looked at my wounds. "Shit Kat, that doesn't look good."

I passed her back the phone while slapping her hand away from my stab wounds. "Don't worry about me," I told her with a half-smile. "I'm gonna outlive all of you," I joked, trying not to wince in pain.

Sid took the voice changer out, "Are you alone in the house?" she asked. I smiled, hearing swearing and shouting coming from the phone and from the kitchen.

"Not so fast. I want to play a little game, it's called..." she throws the voice changer to the ground as she talks normally again "...guess who just called the police and reported your sorry mother fucking ass" Sidney starts looking around the small space we were in.

"Oh, Stu, Stu, Stu, what's your motive? Billy's got one. The police are on their way. What are you going to tell them?" Suddenly Sidney starts laughing mockingly, "You got to find me first, you pansy-ass momma's boy."

Sidney passes me the phone as she put the mask on and picks up an umbrella, making me frown drowsily. Was it raining outside?

"Stu?" I asked breathlessly after hearing him whine on the other end,

"Kat? Did Sid really call the police?" I smiled sadly as I heard him moan in pain. "My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me."

I sighed; this was my Stu, the guy who never failed to make me smile when I was down. "I'm not feeling too good. I'm so tired," I told him, whimpering.

The closet door is nudged open again by a distracted Billy; however, Sidney was ready for him and slammed the sharp end of the umbrella into Billy's chest "aah! Bitch! Aaaahhh! Aaaaaahhh! Aaaaahhhh!" Billy falls to the floor, and Sidney takes off the mask.

Stu comes running out of the kitchen towards Sidney, who hits him over the head with a vase, but Stu stands and pushes her to the floor before jumping on her.

Standing, I charge at Stu, tackling him to the floor, screaming in pain as I felt my arm snap. "Aah! My arm!"

Sidney gets up as Stu climbs on top of me. "I'll always love you, Kat!" he roared at me, crushing his lips onto mine.

Sidney pushes a TV, trying to hit Stu, but he rolls us out of the way. I got up, clutching my arm to my chest as Sidney hit Stu with a statue knocking him to the floor, blood pouring from his head. I let out a little cry as I slid down the wall.

Randy jumps up from his spot on the making Sidney, and I scream, "I'm sorry, it's alright," he assured us with his hands out in self-defense.

"Oh my god, Randy, I thought you were dead!" I told him my heart still beating fast.

"I probably should be. I never thought I would be so happy to be a virgin" I start to laugh when Randy is punched to the floor by Billy, who grabs my sister and throws her to the floor.

"Fucker! Say hello to your mother!" shots start to ring out, sending Billy back onto the floor.

"Billy," I cry out, seeing him gasp for breath as he shuffled himself back along the floor, yes he was a killer and was planning to murder my whole family, but he was also my best friend.

Glancing up, I saw Gale holding a gun, looking shocked, Sidney helps Randy up off the floor and moves to me, but I wave her off to check up on Gale, who wasn't looking great.

"It's okay!" Sidney assures Gale taking the gun from her shaking hands, "Guess I remembered the safety that time, you bastard!" Gale quips, walking into the house after Sidney.

Pulling myself up, I felt Randy place his arms around me to help me stand "thanks, nerd" I gave him a soft smile as he reciprocates, helping me over to Sidney, who was stood watching over Billy's body.

"Careful, this is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life for one last scare."

Billy's eyes pop open, and he jumps with a growl before Sidney shoots him dead, "Not in my movie."

Seeing the bullet wound in the middle of Billy's head, I dropped down next to him. He was dead; there was no coming back for him. The tears started to fall.

Everything I thought I knew and the people I loved were cruelly ripped away, and I didn't know what to do about it; I felt lost.

Suddenly Dad bursts into the room, making us all jump. "Dad!" Sidney sighed, sounding relieved it was only our Dad and not another killer

"Randy, help me out!"

They pull off masking tape from Dad's mouth. "Ow! Aah!". He whined as the adhesive stuck to him.

Sidney unties his hands and feet. "Are you okay?" she asks with tears in her eyes from seeing her Dad all tied up and helpless.

Dad nodded slowly before walking closer to me. He knelt down and brushed the hair out of my eyes. "You okay little bird?" hearing my nickname, I fell into my Dad's arms and cried.

I cried for Mom, Dad, Casey, Stu, Billy, Sidney but most of all, I cried for myself, something I hadn't done in a long time. Dad pulled me into his arms and rocked me as Sidney knelt down and joined us.

The police and ambulances arrived not long after and started collecting bodies and injured people. Dad stopped a paramedic. "My daughter needs medical attention. She's been stabbed" the paramedic ran out and came back with a stretcher and an oxygen mask.

"Ow, my arm," the paramedic gently moved my arm into a splint and wheeled me outside where the sun was started to shine, indicating it was morning.

Sidney grabbed my good hand tight in hers. "Oh my god, Dewey!" she exclaimed when Dewey passed us on a stretcher of his own "You're alive."

Sid cried out, making him smile. "We're alive."

A battered Gale Weathers stood in front of a camera despite her appearance and pain. This was her big break. She just didn't expect it to come with such a price. "Okay, I think it's gonna go something like this, just stay with me."

Putting on a professional smile, the woman began her report, "Hi, this is Gale Weathers, with an exclusive eyewitness account of this amazing breaking story."

Backing up towards the house, several police and ambulances are seen around the Macher house. "Several more local teens are dead.... bringing to the end of the harrowing mystery of the mass killing that has terrified this peaceful community like the plot of some scary movie."

"It all began with a scream over 911 that ended in a bloodbath that has rocked the town of Woodsboro. All played out here in this peaceful farmhouse far from crimes and the sirens of larger cities that its residents fled"

Stopping just out the gate, the female shooed the camera team back. "Okay, let's take it back to 1. Come on, move it. This is my big shot. Let's go."

In all of the excitement and rushing around, nobody noticed the man watching them from the shadows gritting his teeth. He was angry, very angry.

He watched the youngest Prescott being taken into an ambulance being comforted by her twin.

Turning to walk away, he spotted a young man trying to hobble away unseen maybe all wasn't lost. Already thinking up his next move, the man smirked as he walked away.
