Madness Ghostface x Reader

28. Now or Never

Warning for this chapter: Violence😟

For the next few hours me and Danny sat around talking about what we were going to do tonight.  We needed to kill that detective and we couldn't mess this up.  Messing this up would get us caught 100%.

I tried my best to act calm on the outside for Danny but to be completely honest I was freaking out.  Not about the kill, I was freaking out about possibly getting caught. 

I think Danny noticed how anxious I was because he asked me a few times if I was alright.  Obviously I acted fine and brushed it off but I think he could tell I was off. 

Me and Danny decided that it probably wasn't a good idea to mess with her like we did with the last victim.  We aren't going to call her and scare her first, she probably knows that there's a target on her back because she's working on this case.  So the chances are she is prepared for a encounter with Ghostface.

We also decided Danny would be the one doing the killing, and I would be backup like usual.

By the time we were done setting up our plan it was a few hours later,  Getting close to dinner time.  The sun would be setting in a few hours so we decided to just chill for a bit and think over everything.  Danny also went to take a nap because he was tired from earlier. (lol)

A few hours later:

The sun was now basically down leaving the sky a pretty pink and orange colour.  I was sitting on the couch watching tv when Danny came out of our room. 

"Y/n.." He said walking towards the living room.

"Yeah?" I replied happy to see he was awake

"I think it's time to go.." He said gesturing to the time and the fact it was getting dark out.

I agreed getting up off the couch and walking to the kitchen to grab my mask that was sitting on the counter.  Danny also grabbed his.  We were both wearing dark clothes already do we didn't really need to change.

We left the house in silence.  We didn't speak to each other but we both knew how each other felt.

We don't drive to victims houses so the walk to the detectives house seemed long.  By the time Danny even said we were getting close the sun had fully set and it was dark.  We were also out in the country side so there were no street lights helping us see and we were stupid enough to forget a flashlight.

Soon we saw a small light coming up in front of us. 

"Is that her house?" I asked looking at Danny

He didn't look at me but he nodded "When we get there go around back and hide behind a bush or something. Watch through the windows, I'll wave at you to come in when she's so we can collect all the work she's done and burn it." 

I nodded as we both put our masks on.

"Here take this." Danny spoke up

"huh" I said shocked by his sudden words.

I looked down at his hand and he was holding a knife out to me.  I took it and looked back up to him.

"It's just in case.. I want you do be able to defend yourself in case something happens" He replied

I smiled even tho he couldn't see it, "Thank you Danny."

He just nodded and we continued walking.

As we approached the house me and Danny parted ways and I went around the back of the house.  Like he said there were a few bushes to hide behind crouched behind them and waited. 

5 minutes...

10 minutes...

15 minutes...

What the hell was taking him so long?

That's when something in the house caught my eye.  The women sitting on the couch watching tv.  It was obviously the detective,  But that wasn't what caught my eye. 

I recognized her,  I swore i've seen her before. 

That's when it hit me.  It was he women from the grocery store. I stared in disbelief,  I mean I had never talked to her about her personal life but she didn't look to be the type of person to be a detective.

I frowned a bit.  She was so kind to me. 

I didn't have time to think about it much though because before I knew it Danny was creeping up behind her, knife drawn. 

I stood up a bit so I could see through the window better. 

Danny raised his knife up with two hands getting ready to strike her. 

My heart beat quickened and it felt like time slowed a bit.  This innocent women that was just doing her job was about to be slaughtered in front of me. 

I snapped myself out of my thoughts, shaking my head.  What am I thinking? I'm a killer now,  It doesn't matter if she's innocent.  She's going to take Danny away from me and I will not have that happen.

As I watched Danny swing his arms down to stab her in the shoulder a slight smile formed on my face. 

But that's when something happened,  Right as Danny's knife was about to make contact with her shoulder she moved.  She pushed herself forward off the couch so the blade wouldn't go into her shoulder.  Instead the blade got stuck in the back of the couch.

Danny tried to pull it out quickly but before he knew it he was being attacked by the women.  She grabbed his shirt pulling him over the couch and slamming him into the tv.  I stood there frozen in shock watching. 

Danny didn't take much time to get up though because in second he tackled her and pinned her down gripping her throat with two hands starting to strangle her

She struggled underneath him trying to get her arms free but she gave up.  Instead she got one of her legs free kicking him in the stomach throwing him backwards and making him hit the wall, hard.

He fell onto his stomach and wasn't moving.  The detective got up not even looking at Danny's unconscious body.  She quickly walked into the kitchen grabbing what seemed to be car keys. Then she ran towards the back door with her phone and car keys in hand.  She left the house without turning any lights off and started running around the house to the front were her car was parked. 

"No" I said to myself "This isn't happening, i'm not losing him today"

I grabbed my knife out of my pocket.  The anger coursing through my veins made me clench my fist around the knife. 

My anger took over me, I sprinted as fast as I could towards the women, knife in hand. 

I was going to kill her for hurting Danny. 

I was going to kill her for trying to take him away.

I didn't care anymore, we weren't going to get caught tonight.

I'm going to end this right here right now.

She was too far away, I knew I wouldn't catch up to her before she made it to her car. 

It was now or never so without thinking I raised my arm holding my knife.  I aimed and threw it. 

It was worth a shot, I really had nothing to loose. 

I watched the knife fly towards her I was hoping it would hit her. 

That's when it did.

She let out a shriek as the knife planted itself deep just under her right shoulder blade.
