Slasher | Scream 5

Chapter Seven

Chad parked at the house and they decided to go on a walk. "Let me go grab my shoes and change into something easier to walk in 90 degree weather". Carmen said, smirking, she ran upstairs and closed her door. She set her phone on her dresser and rummaged through her closet. She found a pair of shorts and crop/tank top. She took her shirt off, suddenly her phone began to ring, she slipped her new shirt on and walked to the dresser. "Unknown" she knew exactly who it was. She picked it up, "hello?" She said, her heart started to race. "Hello, Carmen, you know, I was just about to make a move, but I had a second thought. I want you to do it for me". Carmen's heart dropped, she didn't want to kill anyone, but if it came to it.. "what is it?" She asked, "I want you to call deputy hicks". Her face froze "what?"
"You heard me, the rest of the mission will be sent via text message, look in the second drawer of the dresser for your surprise, and good luck". She was gonna be sick, she thought, she changed her pants into shorts and went to her dresser, she opened the dresser, and sure enough, there it was. A ghost face mask, shoes, cape/shawl thing, the whole costume. She swallowed loudly, she closed her eyes and breathed.
If she was gonna do this, she needed Chad and Sam out of the house. She walked downstairs, "hey, uhm, I'm actually not going to come, can I call you guys later? I'm feeling sick". Chad and Sam looked at her, "uhm yeah, I guess, we could go on the walk?" Sam asked Chad, "oh no, yeah, of course". He walked to Carmen and kissed her forehead, which instantly gave her butterflies, she pushed it back and smiled. As soon as they left, she ran upstairs. She quickly got dressed, but as she put the other shoe on, something blocked her foot. She reached her hand in, a phone?
This must be a burner phone, one of the ones ghost face and his accomplice uses. There were contacts saved. Target 1,2,3 there were more than 50 saved on here, suddenly her phone buzzed. She picked it up, the message made her drop her phone. She started to tear up, she couldn't. 'Your mission is to call Judy and stir her up, I want you to lure her back to the house and kill her. After? I want you to kill her son'.
She started to silently cry, but if she disagreed, Chad, Sam, and Tara would be in danger, she couldn't risk it. With tears still streaming down her face, she picked up the phone and tapped 'target 2' , 1 must have been Tara.
She took a deep breath and reached for the voice changer. She switched the sound as Judy answered. "Sheriff Hicks", "hello Jud - ee" she spoke into the phone. "Who is this?" , "oh, I think you know. I'm a fan of knives, and scary movies, what's yours?"
"I actually prefer Animated films, why are you doing this?". "I'll tell you all about it, I'm just so happening to turn myself in". "We'll sit down at the station, then we'll talk about the 2 victims". "But you've only killed one", "by the time I see you, you're baby boy'll be gutted".
Judy hung up and quickly turned her sirens on, she made a U- TURN at a stop sign, angering a man, she didn't care, she had to save Wes. She drove as fast she could. She tried Wes' phone, unfortunately he was in the shower and couldn't answer. "Damn it" she mumbled.
She drove faster, and faster. She had to save him, she was almost there. She had to get there, now. She finally arrived, without even turning the car off, she jumped out and ran up the walk way. "WES, IM COMING!" before she could make it up the steps, Carmen jumped out and stabbed her in the chest, "I'm sorry", she whispered "I really am.." she hated this, but she had too.
Judy fell to the ground and started backing up, screaming, but Carmen kept stabbing her, until she couldn't talk, and then, she was gone.
Carmen needed to breathe, she walked inside and wiped her knife off, she took the mask off, already drenched in sweat. She needed water. But before she could get a cup, she heard Wes on his way down. Shit, she thought. She ran into the Pantry, she put the mask and hood back on and took another long, deep breath.
Wes was taking plates and cups out for dinner with his mom, he set the table and placed everything very neatly. He loved sushi, and it killed Carmen on the inside to do this, her stomach twisted into knots, she killed someone and she didn't know what to do, and now she had to kill her best friend, the one who she has trusted and who has trusted her all these years. What a fucked up thing to do. When Wes left the kitchen, seeing the front door was cracked open, Carmen left the pantry and walked to him. He was calling out for his mother. Surprisingly, he didn't open the door, just
Closed it shut and turned around.
He yelled when he saw her, and she launched herself at him, knife in hand, he backed away to the door, grunting, trying his best to keep the knife away from him, he spotted a taser and reached for it. He couldn't get it, the more he struggled, the easier it was. She finally got to his neck, the knife sliced through, he wasn't able to breathe, he was chocking on his own blood, when the knife reached the other side, he stopped struggling completely.
He was dead.
