    The school bus came to a hault right in front of mine and sidneys home.  " See you emma" " I'll talk to you tomarrow sid" we heard the voices say as we exit the bus.  " Can you check the mail?" Sid asks as she passes the box.  I guess after randy said they found Casey's liver in one, she was to disturbed to check it.  " Yeah, i will" i replied opening the mailbox to find nothing in there. I huff and follow sidney beside the fence in the front yard, making our way under the arch and walked to the front door.

  I decided to make sure all the locks in the house are locked while Sid made her way to the balcony to make sure those doors were locked. I'm in the kitchen now, when i hear Sid come down the stairs. " Tatum is going to be here around 7" She announced.

 " K" I shouted as she made her way to the closet putting some bags and supplies in there.  We both made our way to the couch in the living room. I picked up the remote and turned on the tv. Seeing reporters talking about Casey Becker and her boyfriend Steve Orth. 

 Until we come across the reporter Gale Weathers, " The town's in shock, and no one can quite believe what has happened here. although this is not the first time this small community of Woodsboro has endured such tragedy.  Only a year ago Maureen Prescott, wife, mother and stepmother....was found raped and murdered not far from this peaceful town square. " And with that i quickly shut the tv off, not wanting to hear anymore. Sidney got up and made her way to another additional living room, laying down. 

 I decided to leave her alone. So i lay back on the couch were we both just were. Sidney had taken the death much, much more than i did. She was Sidney's biological mom, so it hurt her a lot more. And before i knew it i had done fell asleep.




 I stur awake when i hear the phone in the other room ringing. Sidney must have answered it so i made my way in there with her. 

I walk in there and whisper, " Who is it?" and she replied faintly. " Tatum" and i nodded. I sit on the other couch across from her.  She had a brief conversation with her and hung up the phone. " She will be here soon, she is stopping by the video store" She announced to me. I sigh and lay back down on the couch across from her. Just when she was about to do the same, the phone rang.

  She huffed and picked it up, " Tatum just get in the car..." She trailed off. I couldn't hear the voice on the phone from where i was so i got up and made my way beside her. " Hello Sidney" The robotic voice called out.

" Uh..hi who is this?" She asked politely.  "You tell me" they replied. I swear if this is some prank call im going to jump through this phone and ring their neck. Not really..obviously.

 " Well, I-I have no idea." Sidney nicely said.  " Scary night isnt it? With the murders and all, it's like right out of a horror movie or something." The voice said and i was on the edge of my seat, trying to resist grabbing the phone and hanging up.

  " Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work, 'cause  Tatum's on her way over. " She replied. " Do you like scary movies sidney?" The voice asked. 

" I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy. Its sexy" She replied ' busting randy'....  " What's your favorite scary movie?" The voice continues to pry.  " Oh come on you know i don't watch that shit. " "Why not, too scared?" the voice asked teasingly. " No, its just what's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act. Who's always running up the stairs when she should be running out the door. Its insulting. But if you want to talk scary movies, you should talk to Emma, she is here now" She replied, I'm somewhat insulted on the part of what she thinks of scary movies. They're not all that way.

   " So, you're not alone in the house?" The voice asked. I sigh and grab the phone and said, " randy, that's so unoriginal. I'm disappointed in you." i said into the phone. I hear 'randy's' breath hitch for a second before the voice said, "Maybe that's because, I'm not randy, Emma"

 " so, who are you?" I asked standing up, Sidney doing the same as me.  " The question isn't 'who am i' its 'where am i'" The voiced replied uneasily. " So where are you?" I asked.

"Your front porch" He replied and that's when Sid snatched the phone from me and made her way to the door with me following her.

 " Why are you calling from our front porch?" Sidney asked as we kept walking. "Thats the original part." The voice replied. " OH yeah? well, i call you bluff. " She said unlocking the door and motioning for me to stay put and and i nodded. She opened the door and stepped outside as i stayed in my place. She looked around the porch seeing nothing. " So where are you?" She asked again and i couldn't hear what the mysterious man on the phone was saying.

She walked out further, seeing nothing. She then came up closer to me and asked the phone. " Can you see us right now?" And the voiced hummed in response. " Okay, what are we doing?" She asked. Putting her finger at the brim of her nose and i waved my hands around like a crazy person.  She then laughed it off. " Nice try randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up okay, bye now." She said about to end the call when the voice shouted. " If you hang up on me you'll die just like your mother! Do you want to die Sidney. Your mother sure didn't.  And i bet you don't want to leave your sister Emma alone, do you." The voice said making the color drain from both our faces. 

"Fuck you, you cretin" She said and we both ran into the house and she started locking the door. And when she did. A figure emerged from the closet heading towards us.  He knocked Sidney into the wall and knocked me to the ground. Sidney must have been in and out of it because she couldn't get up. I tried kicking him off of me but he held my hands and feet down. I tried kicking him again and his knife slipped and cut my cheek. I heard him hiss under his breath as he inspected it. He took my head and hit it against the floor, not hard enough to knock me out, But enough to make me see black dots in my vision. Sidney was still in the corner of the room trying to get up but failing.

  He took his knife and ran it across my face gently. Like he didn't want to hurt me. He was just, taunting me in a way.

  I took his sigh of weakness and kicked him backwards. I get up and try to open the door. But i couldn't.  He got up and started back chasing me again. I looked over to see Sidney unconscious. 

 Damnit. I run past him and up the stairs with him following close behind me. I run into Sidney's room and locked it and opened her closet door, and putting it against the door so he couldn't get in. He somehow unlocked the door because his knife started to swat inside the room.

 I go over to the phone and dialed 911, but the phone line was dead.  "Shit" i yelled and looked at the computer. I quickly dialed 911 on there telling the operator what is happening.  I look back to see the killer gone.

 I then hear someone at the window and scream as i look over to find it was only billy.  " BILLY" I yelled and ran to him.  " The door's locked i heard screaming. You alright?" He asked as i helped him through the window.  " The killer's here he is in the house. He knocked out sidney downstairs.  He's in the house. He's got a knife." I said, my voice breaking as i cling to him.  " He's gone" He whispered to me. As his hands run up and down my back and kissed my forehead.  " Its alright" He whispered.  I then looked down to the ground to see a phone had fallen out of billy's pocket. A cellular phone.
