Scream & Shout-Billy Loomis

Chapter 18|Heartless

●●

Heather knocked on the door of Joey Walsh's house. It wasn't long before someone answered.

Joey himself.

"Hey, Heather. What are you doing here?" Joey asked with a frown. "I've been thinking about it and yes, I want to get back together," lied Heather with her doe eyes.

"Really, what about Billy? Did you guys break up?" Joey asked as he let Heather in. "Nah, he's boring. I wanted a distraction," lied Heather as she sat down on the kitchen counter. 

Joey grinned and hugged the McCoy girl. 

Heather hugged him back. She looked in the window and saw Billy's face. She nodded as a sign for him to come right in. 

This was her chance. She took out her hunting knife and stabbed it into Joey's stomach.

"Ah, what the hell!" Joey cried out in pain. He let go of Heather and looked at the knife stabbing into his abdomen.

"You're the lunatic who killed Casey and Steve," he realized. 

"No I didn't, but I killed Lynn Tinker," Heather added with a grin. 

Joey stumbled backward and fell. He crawled away from the McCoy girl with fear in his eyes. 

"No, no," Joey hissed scared as he got up and tried to run away, but he bumped into someone. "Hi, Joey," said Billy with a smirk. "Leave me alone!" yelled Joey as he ran away from the crazy couple. 

"You can't run away from us, Joey," said Heather as she played with a knife. "Why are you doing this?" asked Joey scared as he leaned against a wall. "We don't really have a motive, but consider this as karma," answered Heather as she shrugged.

"Why? What have I done that I deserve this?" Joey asked with tears in his eyes as he looked at the knife in his stomach. "What haven't you done," scoffed Heather. "You lied, you cheated, you made me do things I didn't want to do and let me add to that you tried to rape me!"

"I'm sorry for all that, but please show mercy," begged Joey scared as Heather and Billy approached. "Are you begging for mercy? I love it," said Heather while laughing at Billy. 

Billy laughed back. 

"Admit you were toxic!" shouted Heather as she grabbed the knife and twirled it around in Joey's stomach. Joey cried out in pain and blood rushed through his gray sweater.

"You poisoned me just for another girl on your 'Girls I dated' list."

"Please," begged Joey as he sank down against his white wall and blood dripped onto the white floor. 

Heather and Billy looked at each other and both knew exactly what they were going to do. 

"I have a better plan. We turn it into a game. It's called 'tag'. If we catch you, you die. If you manage to outwit us for five minutes, we'll let you go. It's that simple," Billy told him with a grin.

Heather yanked out the knife.

Joey groaned. 

"The time goes in now," said Heather as she looked at the clock. 

Joey threw open his back door and ran to his barn.

He looked confused when he realized the two had not yet run after him. 

Joey suddenly felt two strong arms around him. He tried to fight Billy off, but Heather hooked a finger in the stabwound.

Joey screamed out in pain.  

Billy threw him onto the work table near the circular saw.

Heather pressed the 'on' button and the circular saw turned on. 

Heather and Billy pushed Joey closer and closer to the circular saw.

"No, Heather. Please! Heather! Heather!" shouted Joey, and those were his last words before his head went into the circular saw. 

Pieces of brain, blood, skin and bone flew in all directions. 

Heather turned off the circular saw.

The two were covered in blood and pieces of skin.

In front of them lay a cut-open Joey Walsh. 

The two looked at each other. A smile appeared on Heather's face.

It felt like a huge relief. 

The two sighed in relief and walked back to Joey's house. 

"We have to get out of here before the cops come," Heather told her boyfriend. "Is it true?" asked Billy as he washed his hands. "What?" asked Heather confused as she leaned against the wall. 

"That he tried to you know?" Billy asked. "Yeah. He wanted to, but I didn't want it. Thanks to his mother, he didn't," Heather told him with a sigh.

"Jesus. If I knew this earlier I would have killed him earlier," Billy muttered angrily. "Hey, but he's gone now. And he's not coming back," Heather reassured him. 

"Yeah," muttered Billy. 

There was a comfortable silence between the two. Heather cleaned her knife while Billy was washing his hands. 

"Are you nervous for Saturday?" Billy asked his girlfriend. "Nah. It's the end then. Everything is done then," answered Heather as she looked at herself in her clean knife, Billy gifted her. "Yeah. I'm even more excited than scared. Finally the people who were in the way are gone," said Billy as he dried his hands. 

"We really have to go. I bet the cops will be here in a few minutes," Heather said as she put her knife back in her pocket. "Yeah, come on," said Billy as they walked through the back door. 

Heather looked back one more time at the barn where they had killed Joey. 

Tonight they had killed the two people Heather hated the most. 

And what a huge relief that was........
