( chapter three : another chance )

IN A PANIC, Melanie dips away from the couch, watching the clumsy killer bump into it before shaking off his shock to continue the pursuit. She grabs the vase in the hallway and tosses it in his face, hearing an almost familiar grunt and crash before she takes her chances to run up the stairs. Halfway there, a hand grabs her right ankle, drags her down and stabs her in the calf.

A yelp of pain leaves her throat and the killer seemed to enjoy it as he drags the knife down and ripping muscle, drawing more screams. The brunette uses her left leg to kick the masked man, the ghostface, where his nose would be, and he tumbles down, giving her time to limp up the stairs. Her blood unfortunately leaves a trail for the killer to follow.

When he straightens himself, he follows the blood farther up to the stairs, to where it stops at a bedroom. Her parents bedroom. The killer kicks the door open and walks in to inspect the room, even crouching to look under the bed. Unknown to him, Melanie was holding up a metal golf club and walking behind him. And when the killer turns she swings it on the side of his temple. Watching him fall.

The club drops from her hand and when she's sure he's knocked out, she limps to the stairs, and hops down on one foot. As quick as she can, she limps to the door, only to have a fist grip her curls and throw her down on the floor. She turns on her stomach and tries to crawl away, using all the strength in her skinny body. It sadly turns out to not be enough as he grabs her injured foot and drags her back.

He sits on her chest to keep her still, and raises the knife above his head, "PLEASE NO. NO" He stops, tilting his head in a mocking manner before wrapping his hand around her throat, "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. We'll give your parents a nice gift"

The situation hits finally as her adrenaline slowly leaves and a pathetic sound of distress comes out as a gurgle when the knife is plunged into her stomach. The killer is still using his other hand to hold her down on the ground and watch her expression while using the other hand to lift the knife and plunge it down into a different section of her chest. Her hand scrambles up and grips his shoulder before grabbing at his mask. She at least wanted to see the man who was killing her.

Before she could take it off, the killer springs off of her, just in time for the front door to fly open. Her vision was heavily blurred, but she could make out Tatum's pajamas. And her blood covered hand reached out to her, uttering "Tate" before her eyes roll back and she passes out from shock and blood loss, thinking this was her last moment.
