"I mean, who the hell could do something like that?" Leilani asked, walking beside Grayson and Devin. "I wish I was there, I would've killed the bastard," Devin said as Leilani exhaled. "That's not even the worst part, I told them to kill Marvin, the killer gave me a choice, and I chose Marvin," Leilani said as the two eyed her. "Well, what else could you have done realistically, I don't blame you, but you should tell the group before they use it against you," Devin said as Leilani nodded. "Yeah, you're right, I'm just so shaken," Leilani said as Grayson placed his arm around her. "I'll keep you safe," Grayson said smiling as Leilani smiled back at him.

Leilani sat at the lunch table with Blaze, Devin, Nate, and Aniya. "Who do you all think could be behind this? I mean, everyone's a suspect right?" Leilani asked as Nate perked up. "Exactly that, in these types of situations, there is always someone to point a finger at," Nate said as the other four looked at him. "Samara invited you all into that house and mysteriously vanished only to come back after the fact? I don't know about you, but that seems hella suspicious to me," Nate said as Blaze raised his hand. "Yeah but what if she just had something to take care of and everything just stacked up against her? In this case, wouldn't we want to point the finger at anyone and everyone?" Blaze asked as Nate smiled. "I'm glad you've mentioned that, but this killer seems to know Leilani based on the phone call she got," Nate said as Leilani eyed him. "I never told you about the phone call," Leilani said as Nate turned to her. "Grayson did," Nate said as Leilani nodded. "In the past, every killer went after someone specifically and they always seem to have known that person, you're going to want to look toward the people close to you, AKA, our friend group," Nate said as Leilani looked around. "I'll talk more to you all later though, lunch is over," Nate said as everyone else left.

Leilani walked inside her house and shut her door. "Mom?" She said questioningly as she walked around her house. She then took out her phone to call her mom, but she then got a call from an unknown number. "Hello?" She said as she answered it. "Hello Leilani," the killer said as Leilani exhaled. "What did you do to my mom?" Leilani asked as the killer sent her a text message, it was a video of her mother in a hotel, all alone. "Answer these three simple questions correctly, and I might set her free," the killer said as Leilani exhaled once again. "You sick fuck!" She yelled as the killer snickered.

"Question number 1, easy one, how many past bloodbaths have happened by someone dawning the Ghostface costume?" The killer asked as Leilani thought about it. "Wait! It's eight," Leilani said as the killer seemed surprised. "Thought you'd be tricked by that one," the killer said as Leilani rolled her eyes. "Which one of the bloodbaths had the most blood, or in other words, the most kills," the killer said as Leilani thought about it. "The seventh one right?" She said as the killer made a ding noise. "How many killers were women and how many were men?" The killer asked as Leilani stammered. "I don't fucking know!" She yelled as the killer made a womp womp noise. "No!" Leilani yelled as she dropped her phone and ran toward the front door.

She opened it when the killer raised their knife, she put her hand out in front of her as the killer stabbed her in her hand, piercing straight through. "Fuck!" She yelled as she kicked the killer off of her. The killer bounced back fast and slashed her in the stomach. She yelped as she punched the killer with her healthy hand. She then slammed the door in the killer's face. She ran into her bathroom and opened the doors to look for the bandages. "Fuck, fuck, where the hell is it?" She said as she moved everything when she finally found it. She tried to wrap the bandage around her hand as the killer began to bang on the door, causing her to drop it. She picked it back up, but it was too late, the door then came down.

Leilani turned around as the killer slashed the knife in the air, Leilani ducked and dodged the knife. She swiftly went past the killer's left side as the killer turned. "You can run but you can't hide," the killer said as Leilani ran up the stairs.

She really into her room and shut the door, locking it. She then checked her pockets but she left her phone downstairs. "No," she said hopelessly as the killer began to bang on her door. She covered her mouth to hide her heavy breaths as she looked around, the only possible escape was the window behind her. She tried to open it, but she had no strength in her right hand and she wasn't going to be able to open it with just her left. She began to punch the window open with her left hand, banging it up badly.

She finally got it wide enough for her to be able to escape but it was once again too late. The killer entered the room and grabbed her by her hair, yanking her back. The killer then stabbed her in her stomach twice. Leilani elbowed the killer in the stomach causing the killer to let her go. She then limped back over to the window and she jumped out of it, falling on the ground harshly, but not too harshly. "Help! Help!" She yelled as she crawled down the concrete, unable to stand due to her injuries. "Leilani!" Blaze yelled as he ran over to her. The killer then leaned from the window as they wiped their knife, then seemingly disappearing.
