Cursed

Three

Dewey's phone rang as he sat down beside Gale and his daughter who were now sat watching a movie.
"I've got to go! There's been an attack" Dewey hung up his phone and looked at Gale
"What?" Gale looked up at Dewey in shock
"There's been another attack Gale" Dewey glanced at Tate before looking back at Gale. Tate was still looking at the tv, watching the movie
"Do they know who?" Gale murmured hoping that Tate wouldn't hear just incase it was somebody she knew, they couldn't have Tate worrying about the attacks she was only 8
"Olivia Morris" Dewey looked at Tate then at Gale
"What's wrong with Olivia?" Tate turned her head to face Dewey and Gale and a worried expression spread across Tates face.
"Nothing Tate you carry on watching this movie with mom and I'll be right back" Dewey smiled at Tate, he couldn't tell her that Olivia had been attacked, he certainly couldn't tell her that she had been killed.
"Okay bye dad" Tate smiled as her Dad was about to walk out of the house
"Bye Gale, Bye Tate" Dewey turned around and smiled and waved before he closed the door behind him.

"Mom, is Olivia okay?" Tate turned to her mom hoping she would tell her the truth, she knew her dad was lying
"She'll be fine Tate. Don't worry" Gale smiled trying to reassure her daughter
"Is Ghostface back?" Tate looked at Gale
"What? Where have you heard that Tate?" Gale's face dropped, Gale began freaking out. Her 8 year old daughter shouldn't know about Ghostface.
"Jill was talking about it with Kirby" Tate smiled, she clearly didn't know what Ghostface was, she just knew it was something bad
"Where were you when they were talking about Ghostface" Gale looked at Tate worried
"I was with Kate. She was getting me a drink" Tate smiled. Gale sighed of relief.

"Come on bed time" Gale smiled as she stood up and held out her hand to her daughter
"Not till dad gets back!" Tate folded her arms and looked at Gale
"Tate. Your dad won't be back for a while, you need to go to bed" Gale looked at the clock and then back at her daughter
"No mom. I'm waiting for dad" Tate sighed still with her arms folded
"Tatum Riley. It is bedtime" Gale said, she rarely ever used Tates full name, Tate didn't like to be called Tatum often because she knew it made her dad upset because Tatum was her aunts name and her aunt died
"Fine." Tate stood up and walked to her bedroom with Gale following her

"Story?" Tate held out a book to Gale and smiled
"Fine, one story but then sleep" Gale sat down on the edge of Tates bed
"Okay mom" Tate smiled as she laid down in bed
"Promise to go to sleep afterwards?" Gale smiled at Tate
"Promise" Tate smiled
