Slasher | Scream 5

Chapter Three

"The bar? This is where you take us?" Carmen asked, curious why they were here. "Of course, I mean, Tara is in the hospital. But she's alive. We should celebrate" Chad said, patting her on the back then dragging her in.
Sam followed close behind, arms crossed, shoulders slouched, head slightly low. She was upset, very, upset.

"So, when did you choose to leave?" Carmen asked Sam, attempting to make conversation.
"My 18th birthday. I was finally able to flee woods boro, I took my chance."
Carmen completely understood that feeling.
"What we're you and Tara talking about?" Chad asked, Carmen immediately shot him a look as she hit the ball with her stick, completely missing.
"Seriously?" Carmen spat, eyeing him. "No it's fine, I trust you guys and I have to tell somebody". She took a deep breath and spoke.
"I'm a daughter, of a serial killer. The original. Billy Loomis." Carmen looked up, and stood up straight, "what?" She looked at Chad, he had the same face. "That's- not as bad" Carmen spoke, stuttering.
"What do you mean? It's terrible" Sam said, almost crying. "That isn't what I mean, I just don't know if I'm ready to share my biggest secret." "Hey that's perfectly fine, take your time" she heard Chad from behind her say. She leaned over the table, lined up her stick and shot, bullseye.

About 2 hours later, she went to meet up with Sam, they wanted to say goodnight to Tara, but Carmen guessed she wanted to stay there over night. "I really am sorry, Tara." She said, Carmen wasn't paying attention. Her phone kept buzzing. "I'm sorry, I gotta take this". She said, standing. "Yeah sure, go ahead".
She walked out and pressed "accept".
"Hello? Who is this?" The caller ID was Unknown. "Hello, Carmen". The voice on the opposite line said. "Who the hell is this?" "I know who you really are". "Are you that sick fuck who tried to kill Tara?", "are you trying to do it to me?"
"Me? No, of course not, I'm offering you a deal". Carmen thought about it and then walked into the bathroom. "What's your offer?" She asked out of curiosity. "I won't touch Tara again". She rolled her eyes. "What's the catch?".
The person on the other line smirked and chuckled. "I'd like you to join us." "Us?".

"Oh please, you actually thought there would be only one? We're repeating the first movie, the original." Whoever this is, was crazy to think she'd join them. "Fuck you".
"I gave you a chance, now you fucked up".
There was a sudden crash, Carmen screamed and turned around. The tiles were covered in glass, Carmen turned and turned, nothing, she turned once more and then a face appeared, ghost face.
Carmen screamed and ran to the bathroom door, locked. She looked around and saw one way, the window. As Ghost face got closer, she kicked them in the ribs and ran. She looked out the window, there she realized she was on the 3rd floor. "Shit", she whispered. How the fuck was she gonna get out of this?
Ghost face got up on shaky legs, staring at her. Maybe if she'd said yes she wouldn't have to do this. Maybe if she had another chance she would, maybe. She looked back at the figure inching towards her, doubting her next move. She knew this move, get so close then slice 'em.
That wasn't going to happen, so she took the risk. Without another thought, she jumped.
As she screamed, she hit a tree on the way down.
When she hit the grass she started to groan, she couldn't get up though. "Fuck" she muttered. "Holy shit, Carmen wtf" Chad? "What are you doing out here?" She asked him. "I went to go get a bag of chips from your car, did you just jump?" She groaned louder, "god, yes, ghost face tried to fucking kill me".
"Oh shit, I'm gonna go get help, ok?" Carmen nodded and he ran off. She didn't care how much pain she was in, she had to find out who ghost face was, no matter what.

Carmen awoke in a hospital bed, when she looked to the side, she saw Sam, the other, Chad. Of course. "Ugh, my head" it was aching, she needed an Advil, or else she'd probably puke. "God, Carmen you gave me a heart attack. First Tara, now you. Chad told me it was ghost face. The freak who messed with Tara. Is it true?" Carmen looked at Chad then back at Sam. She didn't need this drama, but who cares?
"Mhm, he jumped me in the bathroom, crashed through the glass after.." Sam stared at her confused. "After what?", Carmen leaned her head back on the pillow. "Nothing really, he just called me."
"Well what did he say?" Chad asked, eager to know. "The normal shit, "hello, Carmen, what's your favorite scary movie?" Which was obviously a lie. She couldn't tell them what actually happened, it'd be to heart breaking.
But she had to make a decision, and soon.
