I Desire You

Chapter 5. Grudges

Summary:

Some killers hold grudges...

The moment (Name) came back from the trial, the first thing she was met was someone shoving her hard to the ground. She winced and cried out from the unexpecting impact as sounds of distress echoed in the atmosphere.

“You little-! Why didn’t you do anything?!”

“Kate, calm down!”

“Stop it! You can’t put the blame on (Name)!”

(Name) slowly opened her eyes behind her mask and she was faced with an enraged Kate, being held back by David and Jake. The girl had tears welling up in her eyes, her teeth were bared, and she was screaming and yelling insults towards (Name)’s direction.

“Why didn’t you distract the killer?! Why didn’t you do any of your tactics on him like you did for the others?!” she sobbed out, “you let me die! I died because of you!”

“Stop it, Kate! You’re just embarrassing yourself!” Bill called, shaking his head with disappointment, “(Name) isn’t the one at fault. Blame the killer if you must, even yourself.”

If Bill’s words were meant to comfort and defend (Name), it only made Kate feel even worse. She broke out of David and Jake’s hold before she pointed an accusing finger at (Name)’s direction.

“Maybe it’s a good thing you’re wearing a mask, dumb bitch!” she sneered, “you’re probably ugly anyways! It’s better that I don’t have to see your stupid face!”

Those words stung (Name)’s heart, as the blonde turned and stormed her way into the forest. Nobody said anything as (Name) stared at the ground, trying to contain her own sorrows. Cheryll glared at Kate’s disappearing figure, before she bent down and tried to comfort her friend.

“That girl… she’ll never learn.” Bill sighed, “she needs to stop placing the blame on others and start being more aware of her own actions during the trials.”

“I-it’s fine… besides, Kate was probably right.” (Name) sniffed, “if I wasn’t such a fucking coward and stopped hiding from the killer, I might have prevented her from being killed. I might have prevented Jeff from being killed too.”

“It’s fine, (Name). Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Jeff dismissed her words, “I’m glad that I at least got back on that Ghostface. He’s an asshole.”

The survivors sat around the fireplace, enjoying the soft sounds of the flames flickering. The Entity took more survivors into the trials and (Name) was lucky enough to be spared from another torture.

She was still recovering from the scene she saw before. The way the Entity sucked out life and claimed it as its own, brought chills down her spine. She swore she could feel the thing enjoy its food and the show the killers brought it.

“Hey…”

(Name) turned to her side to see Claudette coming over and sitting down.

“I heard about what happened to Kate.” she whispered, “sorry about that.”

“I-it’s fine. I understand.” (Name) said softly.

“Kate hasn’t been very lucky, she’s been sacrificed and killed in every trial by the killer.” Claudette explained, nudging (Name) to follow her so they can go somewhere more secluded, “it’s best if you know.”

“She’s one of those survivors who taunted the killers along with Nea. Ever since then, they’ve been targeting her and butchering her to pieces out of rage. She blames the other teammates for not stopping the killer every time, but it’s mostly her actions that caused them to go crazy.” Claudette continued.
