Slasher | Scream 5

Chapter Six

"Randy was our uncle, may he Rest In Peace" Mindy said, walking into the living room. "So what is this about anyways?" Amber asked.
The four took a seat on the couch. "There is, something I have to tell you", Sam started, "no, there's something we want to tell you". Carmen said, "are you sure? Sam asked her. Carmen took a deep breath and shook her head. It was time to get this over with.
"I'm the daughter of Billy Loomis". Everyone sat up straight, but when Carmen said hers, everybody but Wes was shocked. "And I would be his- sister".
"So let me get this straight, you're the daughter and sister of one of the original serial killers, and somehow we're suspects?" Liv asked.
"Yeah, pretty much, any thoughts?"
"Yeah, actually, I have one", Wes said, raising his hand. "How do we know he isn't the killer?" Nodding his head at Dewey. "Me? What would my motive be?"
Wes sat up and slouched over the couch, "well, you have been stabbed in every massacre, over at least 7 times, and not to mention you got dumped by your famous ex wife". Dewey looked upset, but instead spoke back "well maybe you're the killer, cause that- cut deep".
(They we're all talking) "wait so, all the kills had been related to the original franchise?" Sam asked. "Oh my god, he's making a requel!" Mindy exclaimed, everyone looked at her confused. "A what?" Sam asked. "Like a sequel, that fans get angry a"- "god, just- speak English" Chad said, clearly annoyed and frustrated.
"Ok, so you know that movie, compared to the original stab that came out recently?"
"Oh yeah! I really liked that one". Mindy tilted her head, "of course you do, you have terrible taste". Liv glared at her "I hate you".
"Yeah well, the stab fans, hated it, they had a full on rampage online, everywhere, saying stab 8 ruined their lives". "Yeah but it's just a movie, who cares?" Sam asked, confused in this conversation. Carmen stared at Mindy, who stared back. "Not to everyone, to most it's a big deal, that one movie when they were 10 that their mom or dad showed them and then fell in love with horror!"
"Our killer is writing their own version of stab 8 but doing it as a requel!" Dewey, still being confused "which is..?"
"Look, you can't reboot a series from scratch anymore, you also can't do a straight sequel, it has to go on a storyline. More main characters, however they're related to a the legacy, or main characters".
"Are you trying to tell me I'm caught in the middle of fan fucking fiction?" Sam asked, pissed off. Carmen put her hand on Sam's shoulder, calming her down.
"Oh no honey, you're not in the middle, you're the star". "What?"
"Ok, so, according to the "requel rules" who's next?" Liv asked. "Well, someone who had come before, and that person just so happens to be here". She glanced at Dewey, everyone followed her eyes. "I am really, starting to regret coming here". "Jesus, my mom was apart of the killings". "Nobody cares Wes, you're safe, although- Me and Chad? We're probably screwed.
"Or, you're the killer" Richie said, the first word Carmen heard him say. What if- no, he can't be. Mindy laughed, mocking Richie. "No, I'm pretty sure it's obvious who it is at this point, or, between 2, actually". Carmen and Sam looked at her, "who" they said in sync.
"One of you", Mindy said, Smirking.
"Excuse me?" Carmen asked, very clearly offended. "Mindy are you crazy?" Chad asked her, "what? It makes perfect requel sense".
Amber and Liv nodded, "it does, actually make a lot of sense", Amber said, followed by Liv's silent 'yeah'.
"Fuck this" Sam said, grabbing her jacket and going to the door, Carmen looked down, ashamed. Chad must have sensed it because he grabbed her hand and stood up, "we're done here, let's go". He pulled her out of the house and to the car. Carmen tossed him the keys and got in, "I'm sorry about her, she doesn't know when to shut up". Carmen looked up and smiled, "it's alright, really, she'll learn one day, I hope". Sam looked up from inside her car and got out, "hey, mind if I come with you guys?, I don't want to be alone".  Carmen looked at Chad and nodded, "yeah, hop in", he said, smirking. "Great, thanks". As they were leaving they could see Dewey and Richie outside on the porch, watching them leave.
