[AUTHORSNOTE] HEY! so I re-wrote chapter five, so this chapter might make more sense if you go back and read that! I'm sorry for having to re-write it, it sucked so bad lol! Anyways, on with the show!!! :)

"Hello?" Absinthe answered with a slight jump.

"Hi, sweetheart. You should keep your volume down. You're gonna get noise complaints from your neighbors. Though, you are a loud one, aren't ya?"  The voice laughed at his taunting words, he was relishing in her facial expressions. She stayed quiet, she was completely shocked and didn't know what to do with herself.

"Oh my, Abi. I just realized this is our first official call, just us. No geek boyfriend to help you this time. I do wish it would've been him in the van today." The killer laughed into the voice box, it almost matched Stu and Billy's but not quite. "Man, does that guy piss me off."

"Oh my god."

"Did you get my little invite? You will be there, right? Don't hurt my feelings now, Absinthe." She shuddered at the chuckle. She looked down at the bloodied invite.

"What happens if I don't?" She asked, genuinely curious but seeming like she was challenging the voice.

"Let me make this real simple for you, okay baby? Either you come to the lecture hall at nine o'clock or your little boyfriend, fuckbuddy, or whatever dies." She tried not to shed tears as she checked the time, eight o'clock.

"Fine, fine. Just please don't hurt him. Please. Oh my god." She cried and paced around the room.

"Don't tell anyone where you are going either, no Dwight, no police, or else Randy will have to pay the price for your stupidity."

"Fine, fine. I won't, please don't hurt him. He doesn't deserve it!"

"Then play by my rules, I wanna make you my final girl." He chuckled menacingly. "Something that Billy and Stu couldn't do the first time around. Way too many loose ends last time."

"Yes, yes I'll follow the rules. I'll do anything as long as Randy's okay." She pleaded into the phone

"Good girl. See you then." He hung up and all Abi could hear was the long ding of the dial tone as she cried into the phone to the empty line.

She wished that none of this would've happened. She wished that she wouldn't have let Stu and Billy go. Maybe then Randy wouldn't be in danger all because of her. What she wished for the most though, was that Stu would come back for her and confess his love for the girl and that they would live happily ever after. Abi wasn't stupid and blinded by fantasy, she knew that could never happen. Abi loved Randy and there was an obvious connection but with Stu, she felt the whole world stop around them.

Absinthe often daydreamed about Stu. She felt horrible about it, she couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried. He was a killer, he killed countless people, people she was close to. Her best friend, her boyfriend. Though she didn't care too much about Kyle. She knew he wasn't too great of a person. 'I really do know how to pick them,' she thought to herself. Randy was a good fit for her and she only decided to date him because all of her first options had left her. They had a good relationship though, they had an undeniable love for each other.

When Abi decided she was done feeling bad for herself, she picked herself up off of the floor, and opened the invitation, it read 'Join us for a party! Where; Lecture Hall at nine o'clock sharp P.S. If you don't attend, kiss your life goodbye.' The blood was dark red, almost black and it smelt like metal. There were about six different fingerprints from six different people. Abi had realized the time was nearly nine so she headed towards the lecture hall. She had no clue what to expect and for the first time in her life, she was completely worried for someone other than herself.
