Sidney didn't have time to react or say anything. It all happened so fast, in one horrifying blur.
The shot rang out, and Sidney's ears began to ring as she shrunk back into the corner, the smell of gunpowder stinging her nostrils.
The bullet tore into Randy's left shoulder, sending him flying backwards like a rag doll, smashing into the centerpiece and crushing the small flimsy table in the middle of the room, crumpling to the floor in a dazed and bloody heap.
"Billy, no! Oh my God!" Sidney screamed, rushing down to Randy's aide as he groaned in pain, his hand clutching the fresh bullet wound in his chest.
Randy eventually let his head fall back, and his body stopped squirming.
Sidney watched the life drain out of him, her mouth open in speechless horror.
She heard Billy laugh. And his voice sounded like nothing she had ever heard before. It was a hauntingly evil laugh.
She turned to look up at him, shaking her head in refusal to believe the truth, coming to the horrifying realization...
Billy licked the blood off of his shirt and grinned.
"Corn syrup...just like what they used for pig's blood in Carrie," he said, his lips curling into that evil smile.
God no...this isn't happening. Fuck no.
Sidney spun around to run for the back door and she ran into the arms of Stu, standing in the kitchen doorway.
"Stu, please help me, you have to help me," she sobbed hysterically.
Stu reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white device, his lips also conforming into an evil smile.
He spoke into the device.
"Surprise, Sidney,"
Sidney's jaw hit the floor in utter disbelief. She was dumbfounded.
It was the killer's voice.
The same voice who had been harassing her.
Sidney backed away, looking at Billy and Stu as they cornered her.
It was them. They were the killers. It was so clear to her now. And they were backing her into a corner like a caged animal, hunting their prey.
"No!" Sidney screamed and shoved past Stu into the kitchen, making a beeline for the back door, but Billy and Stu both ran around to the other kitchen door, and blocked her off.
Stu moved to one side of Sidney, and Billy the other. She was trapped. They were sandwiching her in.
Sidney pressed back against the kitchen counter, seeing the gun in Billy's hand and the knife that Stu had pulled out of his pocket.
Her hands scrabbled frantically for a weapon, but Billy took her and heaved her against the wall with such force that it cracked the plaster where her forehead hit, and she slumped to the floor.
Everything went black.
Sidney's eyes fluttered open to see Billy and Stu leaning over her, grinning evilly and licking their lips like two wild tigers stalking their prey.
She tried to move, but she was tied to a kitchen chair.
Billy took the voice changing device from Stu and spoke into it.
"What's the matter, Sidney? You look like you've seen a ghost," he taunted her, in that terrifying raspy voice.
"Billy...why?" Sidney asked, her eyes getting wet with tears. "Why, fucking why!?
