chapter two.

     

     ZIGGY LOOKS behind her and Andy, catching the other woman's attention as she follows her gaze. "Once they're down, how quickly can we get the gates back open?" She now asked before turning back to him.

"Well, that depends, but--" "why would we want to do that?" Deena asked, cutting off Martin, as Andy had been wondering the same thing. We'll Carrie him." She says before looking at Andy who just stared at her for a moment, then she looked away, at the others.

They got to work then, Martin and Josh grabbed some stuff from one of the costume stores as Marcus and Andy grabbed stuff to set up the Carrie trap. "So... you dated Christine... before." Marcus suddenly brought up.

"Oh... she told you about that night?" Andy glanced at her as they grab a bucket, some rope. "Yeah... I-I was just gonna say I'm here to talk. Some stuff you saw that night had to be traumatizing..." He tells her and she looks at him. "Pretty much. Something I hope you'll never have to go through, Mar..." She raised her hand, ruffling his hair softly.

"That's a little too late... I already witnessed someone I really love die. And saw the dead body of another person I cared deeply for..." He said and she looked at the boy, staring at his side profile as he sighed, shaking his head as he grabbed some other supplies.

"It's fine. We'll avenge them tonight, same for everyone else..." He smiled faintly at his aunt who smiled back softly and glanced up, over at Ziggy and Deena. "Where do you think I'm at with her? Ziggy?" She suddenly asked Marcus who glanced between her and the other woman. "I'm not getting in the middle of your love quarrel, alright?" He says before he began walking away and her jaw drops.

As she quickly follows him, she then notices Ziggy approaching the tree, staring up at it. Andy approached her, "hey." She said suddenly and the woman spun around. "Hi..." She said, glancing down at the supplies in her arms and then the ones in Andy's arms. "We better go get ready. To kill your husband." She then added and Andy simply pursed her lips.

"Right..."

They continued setting up their plan as Andy kept looking over at Ziggy. "I-I'm sorry." She said suddenly and Ziggy glanced up. "What?" She says, slightly taken back. "I'm sorry... I never meant to take his side over yours. I don't know what came over me." She said, looking down and Ziggy just stared at her.

"Andrea... I think one of the deals he made was he gets you... not me." She said quietly and Andy looked up at her. "I would've chosen you in a heartbeat if I could do it all over again. And it sucks that I didn't. You didn't deserve that..." She said, her eyes getting watery.

"You needed me again... like you needed me when your dad left, your mom started drinking. And then it happened again and I was nowhere to be seen again. I never meant to hurt you, Zig." She looked down and Ziggy raised her hand, putting it against Andy's face gently. "It's okay. Make it up to me by killing your husband. Last time was us pranking Sheila." She smiled faintly and Andy just giggled softly. For the first time in a long time, Andy felt okay with bringing up the past again, she didn't feel like crying at the thought of that night.

"Okay..." She softly sniffled before Deena and Josh now approach them. "Okay, guys..." She simply says to them, Martin also joining them as Andy stood by Ziggy again, they were all in a circle together. Martin, Marcus, Andy, Ziggy, Josh and of course, Deena.

"Everyone says Shadyside sucks because it's full of shitty people," She says, glancing at her brother who merely looks away, "that bad things happen here because we're bad, that we deserve what we have coming. That's how it was for Sarah, and that's how it's been for us." She says, looking from Marcus and Martin, over to Ziggy and Andy. "But it's all bullshit."

"Okay, just because we're weird and smart and different doesn't mean they can feed us through their meat grinder. Not anymore. It's been three centuries. No one else has gotten this far. It stops here... tonight. It stops with us. We're gonna kill this motherfucker." She says, looking at Andy who simply nods softly.

"For Sarah," she looks at Josh, "for Kate and Simon," she glanced between Marcus and Josh now, before looking at Ziggy. "For Cindy." She says and the woman simply looks away, pained by the mention of her sister.

"For all of us. For Shadyside."

Andy thinks of everyone who's been affected by this wretched curse that turned out to all be the cause of her husband making deals with the devil. She's going all in. Just like Deena said, for Shadyside. "Now let's do this." The teenage girl says and she kneeled down above the bucket where she cut the palm of her hand.

She clenched her hand into a fist, making droppets of her blood drop into the bucket she shakes her hand slightly before they all stand up. They quickly got to work setting up everything they got ready for the plan they went through once, explained really thoroughly by Ziggy. It was a good plan, honestly.

"So, you sure you can do this?" Martin suddenly asked Andy as they ducted tape black lights everywhere. "What?" She looked at the man, kind of taken back by his question.

"Kill your husband... how do we know you're not gonna backstab us and take his side? Again?" He added and Andy scoffed softly, duct taping the lights. "I'm not taking his side. Not ever again after what I found out about him making deals with fucking Satan. After all the people who've died? And he had the audacity to lie to me all these years saying they just snapped? Or that they were going insane living in Shadyside?" She rambled on and on.

Then she looked at him, "that's how he convinced me to move to Sunnyvale. Because he wanted me safe, away from all this." She said as she got down and handed him the duct tape. "What else do we have to do?" She says as they slightly jog over to the supplies.

"Uh, some more lights."
