Bloody love // A Scream VI story

Ethan?

   You looked at Ethan with tears in your eyes, and took  a step back.

   "Leila.. I.." he tried to take a step forward but Bailey stopped him. "I don't wanna do this anymore." He said, turning his head to Bailey.

   "Really? All over some girl? Come on now son!" Bailey said.

   "Son..?" You asked.

   "Son." Bailey laughed. "His last name isn't even Landry!"

   You couldn't even focus on the other person revealing themself. It was Quinn. You didn't care about the fact that you thought she was dead. You had your eyes on Ethan. A little bit mad. A little bit sad. A little bit scared. A little bit confused. He would glance back every couple seconds with his puppy eyes and then look back down at the floor.

  All three of them walked towards you and you began to talk. They were Richie's family.  As you still had your eyes still on Ethan, Quinn stabbed you quickly in the shoulder. Ethan's eyes widened.

   "Ow!" You said, holding your shoulder.

   "Get away from her!" Sam pushed Quinn.

   Bailey fired shots and you, Sam, and Tara saw an exit. You guys went up and climbed across the railing. Sam went. Then it was you. You were climbing, when all of a sudden you lost hold of the rail and quickly grabbed onto it. Sam held your hands but couldn't hold you much longer. Bailey was coming closer with a knife. At the bottom

   "Sam you have to let me go" you said.

She handed you a knife and you jumped down. As you were about to stab Quinn, someone scooped you up. You looked up and it was Ethan, carrying you.

"You're a psycho!" You shouted at him, trying to squirm out of his arms.

"Leila, please! I'm trying to help right now!" He whisper-yelled.

   He ran as far away as he could, until you guys were in a large room near the back. You both caught your breath and looked at each other.

   "So what now? You might as well just kill me now. Go ahead, you won't." You said, trying to hide your complete fear from him.

   "No- I.." he trailed off and looked down at his feet.

   "Then I'll do it" you said. You were already losing much blood, and you'd rather be killed by yourself than him. You grabbed the knife as his hands still held on and you stabbed yourself in the stomach. You squeezed your eyes shut for a second and cursed until your breath. He quickly pulled it back out and looked at you concerned. You held your stomach and took a step back, doubtfully.

   "I'm sorry Leila.. I have to do this for my father.." He said softly, as he stuck the knife in your stomach, and wipes the tear falling down his cheek.

   You groaned and squirmed against the wall. "I have family too, you know. You're trying to kill someone for your dad? I'm just trying to stay alive for my family." You sobbed. He stopped and you fell to the ground.

   He got down on his knees and held your head. "Come on, please stay with me right now.." he whispered.

   You gave a faint smile, and all of a sudden Tara ran into the room screaming. Her arm was raised with a knife, and she stabbed Ethan in the back.

   "Ow! Fuck!" He shouted. Tara kept on stabbing repeatedly.

   Before you could shout anything, Tara picked you up and started running with you under her arm as you limped. You continued to look back at the room where Ethan's body was.

   "I hope he's ok.." you said, as you two continued running.

   "What?? He tried to kill you!" Tara shouted.

   "He saved me" you replied.

   There was no reply, you could only see some regret in Tara's eyes. You guys found Sam. Quinn and Bailey were dead. The police and ambulance arrived, and both of them rushed you outside. Later, as you three were sitting outside with bandages everywhere. You heard someone shout "we found one!!" You all turned around, you were in hopes that it was Ethan, but it wasn't. It was Chad. Of course you were so grateful he was ok. Saying that you were happy was an understatement. But you just wished Ethan was still alive. Sam and Tara ran over to see Chad, and you just stared at the ground to process everything. Just then, another voice called out "I think this is the last one! He has a very weak pulse!!" You whipped your head around, and saw Ethan laying down in a stretcher with his eyes closed. You gasped and ran up. You both smiled at each other.

   "Give me a second chance.. please." He begged. "I'll make everything right again" he squeezed your hand tight.

   Happy tears formed in your eyes and you gently kissed his forehead. "Yeah."

   "Are you gonna come to the hospital?" He whispered.

   "Of course. I'll stay with you the whole time." You replied, softly.
