Did I Make You Scream ღ Ethan Landry

ten

Phoebe made her way towards the stage and up the steps quietly when she came face to face with someone in a ghostface outfit. They only stared at her, before shaking their head and walking further behind the curtain. 

Suddenly a hand wrapped around her mouth and pulled her back. 

"Shh. Shh." Tara whispered in her ear as she saw Detective Bailey walk through the rip in the screen, gun in hand. 

His phone began ringing and he answered it, volume up loud.

"Hello Detective Bailey." The voice spoke, sounding a lot like ghostface. 

"I just have one question for you." They asked.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" They asked.

"My favorite scary movie?" He asked with a laugh.

"I'm only asking because you're in one right now, you're in my movie." They said harshly.

Bailey whipped around, facing the ghostface costumes and Phoebe noticed one was missing. Billy's. Sam.

"I see you've put on your true face huh. Your birthright." He said.

"Poetic that you're gonna die in it." He snapped before raising his gun and shooting one of the mannequins dressed in the ghostface outfit.

"Now you know the truth. Murder is in your blood." He said, firing off more shots at each of the mannequins.

"Why don't you show yourself." He shouted.

"Be careful what you wish for." She said.

"I'm a fucking police officer, how do you think this is gonna go Sam? Who do you think that they're going to believe?" He asked. 

"Probably the one who's still alive." She said before slamming her blade into his back, he fell onto his knees as she ripped it out and slammed it back in again and again and again. 

Phoebe and Tara came out as she continued to stab the man. Once he was covered in blood, and blood began spurting from his mouth she stopped and removed the mask. 

"Sam." Tara said softly, and Sam looked over at the girl but her face was filled with anger and she turned to face him again.

"My father was a murderer." Sam said exhaustedly. 

"No matter what you think, I'm better than that." She added.

"T-thank you." He sputtered before looking over at Phoebe who looked to be in bad shape as well.

"Quinn?" He asked, knowing the girl must be dead if she is alive.

"I killed that fucking cunt. I stabbed her over and over and over again before sticking the knife into her forehead." Phoebe snapped.

"You little bitch." He seethed through the blood that filled his mouth and Sam looked angry.

"On second thought, you did fuck with our family so." She said before plunging the knife into his face and through his eye. 

His mouth agape as she yanked the knife from his head and he fell back with a thud. 

"Good one." Tara said.

"Thanks." Same spoke. 

"Are you okay?" She asked, hand on her sisters arm.

"Yeah, I'm okay." She answered.

"Phebes? Are you okay?" She asked.

"I don't feel so hot." She said as the girl was feeling quite woozy from all the blood loss. 

"Come on, let's get you some help." Sam said, looping her arm around the girl for stability. 

They walked down the steps of the stage before Phoebe spoke.

"Kirby. She was alive, someone needs to check on her." She said before Kirby came limping out from behind. 

"Kirby!" Sam said.

"I'm okay. Just a little banged up." She said as the door rattled and the police, emergency services and Danny came through the gate. 

"I thought you would need some reinforcements." He said as he came up to Sam who passed off Phoebe to an EMT who wrapped their arm around her body. 

"I need a stretcher!" She shouted as the girl was leaning against her. 

"We're gonna get you fixed up okay?" She said to the girl.

Phoebe woke up in the hospital bed, the fluorescent lights creeping in through her eyelids. Her whole body felt lifeless, must have been the pain meds.

"She's up." Someone said and as Phoebe came to, she saw Sam beside her. As well as Tara, Mindy, and Kirby.

"Hey, you're awake." Sam said as she brought her hand up to Phoebe's forehead and swiped the hair from her face. Phoebe tried to lean up but Sam stopped her.

"Don't try to move too much, you'll rip your stitches." She said. 

"Is everyone okay?" She asked, her voice shaky. 

"Yeah, everyone is okay Phebes." Sam said, Phoebe looked over to see Mindy next to her on the other side.

"Mind?" She said, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Hey Phebes." She said with a smile. 

"Chad?" She asked sadly.

"He's okay Phoebe, he lost a lot of blood and he's in bad shape. But he's okay." Mindy said with a smile and Phoebe's eyes filled with tears. 

"Phoebe?" Sam asked.

"What happened with Ethan?" She asked.

"I-I have no idea, one minute he was there, the next he's gone." She said, Sam not looking convinced but she left it alone as the girl had only just woken up.  

"The police are gonna come talk to you about everything, but not until later okay." Kirby said. 

"If they press you further than you want. You let me know." She added.

"Thanks Kirby." She said.

"Guys, why don't we go. Phoebe doesn't need to be crowded any more." Sam said as everyone got up to go.

"We'll come back by later okay Phebes. Just try to get some rest okay?" Mindy said before everyone left the room. 

Phoebe turned her head to glance out the window at the city, tears pricked her eyes and then began to flow. She couldn't keep the sobs from escaping as she lifted her hand to muffle them. As her body shook from the cries, sharp pains shot through her wounds and she subsided a little bit. But she only kept looking out the window as she replayed everything that happened. 

How the hell were they going to heal from this, again.
