Sequels Suck

Chapter 8

You stared at Gale as her new cameraman directed his camera at you. You could see your dumbfounded expression reflecting off the black lens. 

Gale smiled with her hand behind her back. "How are you, YN?" 

You stared at her in disbelief. "...What do you want, Gale?" 

She smiled regardless, looking you up and down as she spoke. "Well, I was hoping I might get a few words with you." You went to turn around and you heard her ask. "YN, did you know the two defenseless college kids who were brutally murdered last night?" 

You looked over your shoulder. "...No." 

"Well, then maybe you have any idea who killed them? I heard you suspect Billy Loomis and Stu Macher may still be alive and on the run. What's your comment?" 

You were wide eyed at her dropping something like that, turning completely around to glare at her. It could make you look involved OR crazy! You guessed both were good in her eyes. Either one made you look bad and fed her views. 

"Where did you even hear that??" 

She just smiled that smug smile she was known for. She turned to her cameraman, microphone in hand. "Gale Weathers here at Windsor College with a familiar student from Woodsboro; YN-" 

You jerked her arm and hissed at her. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" 

She turned to you with self righteousness in her crystal eyes. "Just getting a statement from the final girl from the last murdering spree. What are the odds that she goes to the same college these two innocent victims attended. Within a week of her stay here too." She leaned forward to the side away from her camera, whispering in your ear. "If I were you, I'd make a statement so I don't look guilty-" 

You jerked away from her. "Fuck you, Gale!" 

Derek put a hand on your shoulder as Mickey and Halie tried talking you down. Gale smirked while holding up a finger. "Ah, ah, ah! You're on camera-" 

"Stop acting so damn high and mighty! As if you actually give a shit about the victims." 

She put on a show, voice loud and clear for the camera. "I do care. It's my job to get to the truth and the truth is that your actions led to Sidney Prescott not being saved 2 years ago. Do you have a statement to finally give after 2 years of silence?" 

"YN, she's baiting you." Halie whispered but you ignored her. You sneered at Gale, jerking out of Derek's hold as she stepped back. 

"Sidney? How dare you even mention her name! You want to talk about Sidney? The same girl you mentally tortured for your book about her mother's death the last few months of her life? You don't give a damn about anyone but yourself and your paycheck. You weren't even saving anyone so scratch the hero complex off your fucking pages. You were too stupid to even check the safety on the gun the first time! If it wasn't for me and Sidney, you wouldn't even be standing here right now! Because Billy would have shot you in the head on that porch if me and her hadn't distracted them in time!" 

Her smirk dropped. "Yes but I learned that safety fairly quickly and you stopped me from pulling the trigger before Billy Loomis stabbed Sidney Prescott in the chest...As for my first book; I was seeking the truth and I was right. Because of my investigation, an innocent man gained his freedom...Why did you prevent your friend from being stabbed by her psychotic boyfriend, YN? Do you still maintain innocence when two other survivors testified against you?" 

You clenched your fist and she stayed safely behind her cameraman. "...Two?" You shook your head. "I'm done. You already tainted my name with your book DESPITE being proven not involved by the police. Anything I say, you'll twist. No comment!"
