I was just chilling on the couch with Anika in Samantha's apartment. Everyone was arguing while Anika and I were just switching through channels, until I heard Sam's voice as we were switching through channels.

"Wait Anika go back." Sam said

The channel switches to the news and it's a video of water getting thrown at Samantha. This has got to be the third time this week Sam was on the news.

Anika called the rest of the group over now Sam is even more mad. While Tara and Sam were busy yelling at each other like always, I made my way into the guest room while Ethan quickly followed behind.

I jumped on the bed and just laid there for a moment.

"Ethan what are you doing here?" I said with an confused expression on my face.

Ethan leaned on the door and looked at my costume.
"I thought Hufflepuffs were supposed to be kind?" He said

"Who told you that?" I said

"Chad."

"Chad just watched Harry Potter for the first time last week. Why would you listen to him?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I should've asked you, the nerd." Ethan said

"I know your not talking" I Said

"Me? Your dressed up as a Harry Potter character."

"And you dressed up as a piece of cardboard and called it a knight." I said

"It was so obvious that I was a- okay we got off topic." He says

"So what did you come here to do."
"I don't know I wanted to check on you cause you looked annoyed." Ethan says

"Since when did THE Ethan Landry care about MY well-being?." I was really taken back when he said that.

"I'll just leave then." Ethan moved away from the door and started walking towards the living room.

"Wait!" I sat up right away. Shit. I don't want him to think I want to talk to him that badly. I cleared my throat "I mean. I'll talk to you about it, if you want."

Why did I word it like that. I avoid his eyes, I can't even look at him right now.

Ethan gave a small laugh before replying "No I don't want to know, that's why I'm here." He smiled
"If you keep being sarcastic I'm gonna shut the door in your face." I said

"Okay sorry, but talk to me." Ethan walked over and sat on the bed with me WAY to close for comfort. I scoot away and spoke.

"I don't know. I'm just worried for Sam and Tara. They've been arguing for months now and it isn't getting any better." I spoke

"Is that really all of it?" He said

"No but your gonna think the rest of it is stupid."

"I promise I won't" Ethan said

I could feel my heart racing. Why did he have to say that. "I'm still scared of ghost face coming back."

𝑬𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑺 𝑷𝑶𝑽.

Fuck. How am I supposed to tell her. He's not coming back when Quinn is outside waiting for Tara and Samantha right now? Because the acts not suspicious.

"Y/n don't worry about that. You've been safe for over a year now." I say

"I know. I just feel like one day he's gonna come back. With all these people hating on Sam, one of them has to be plotting something against all of us. I don't want to loose any of you guys." She says

Okay now she's just trying to make me feel bad. My death is going to be faked tomorrow if everything goes right with the plan and she's going to be upset if she "loses" me. I mean I don't really care obviously, I'll just feel sorry.

"I know people are being horrible towards Samantha but I don't think anyone would go full on ghost face on her again." This is so ironic "We should go check on the group. See if if everything's good." I said

"Alright."

As we Walk into the living room I see Tara and Samantha gone. So plans already started. "Where's Tara and Samantha?"

Chad was washing the dishes until he noticed us"oh hey, Sam got a call from the police and they said she had to go down to the station. Tara was being stubborn, as usual and forced Sam to take her." He said

"When did they leave?" Y/n asked

"Like 20 minutes ago." Chad responded

"Sam can take care of herself and her sister. Trust m-"Chad got cut off by everyone's phone going off. I looked at my screen and saw a notification from the group chat.

*CORE FOUR4️⃣ and the others*

Tara
He's back.

And it begins.
