CHAPTER SIX
"don't look down, anika!
please, just move faster""MOVE YOUR FUCKING ASS, CHAD!" The group of friends began to scatter, Chad and Tara running out the front door as Mindy, Sam, Liesel, and Anika got stuck in the living room. "Fuck you!" Ghostface began to step towards Mindy when suddenly Liesel jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Get out of here!" The masked killer quickly brought his knife down into Liesel's thigh, making her scream in agonizing pain as she feel off of his back. The killer removed his knife from her thigh and brought it up in the air, about to bring it down until Anika jumped at him.
"Anika!" The masked killer removed his attention away from Liesel, turning to Anika, wrapping his hand around her neck as Liesel tried to get up, Sam helping her off of the floor.
"Come on!" The two girls made their way into the kitchen, looking for the knives, which were nowhere to be seen.
"Where the fuck are our knives?" Sam didn't answer, pulling the injured girl with her. At this point, the adrenaline was at an all time high and her mind was so worried about getting her to safety that she couldn't feel the stab wound in her leg. Anika let out a blood curdling scream as the killer ran to shut the door, trapping them in the small apartment. Sam grabbed Anika as Liesel grabbed Mindy, the four girls running into Quinn's room, locking the door behind them. Mindy and Anika sat on the now dead girls bed, hunching over in pain as blood poured from both of their wounds.
"Fuck." Liesel grabbed a maroon scarf from the girls desk chair, tying it around her leg to create a tourniquet so her wound would stop bleeding as Sam held the door closed. As the killer continued to bang on the door, the Conner girl grabbed a shirt from Quinn's closet, making her way to Mindy, tying the shirt around her arm. "Fuck! God fucking damn it!" Suddenly, the banging stopped, the three girls turning their heads to see that both bathroom doors were unlocked.
"Liesel, come hold the door!" Mindy and Liesel both got up, Mindy moving into the restroom to see Quinn's newest friend dead in the bathtub. Liesel held the door as Sam and Mindy fought to close the door to the bathroom, shoving Quinn's dresser in front of the door. "Liesel, the desk!" The brunette nodded as she moved from the locked door to grab Quinn's desk, using all of her strength to shove it in front of the door, knowing it wasn't going to hold very much. Outside, Liesel saw the man from across the hall yelling and waving from his window.
"Sam, the window!" The oldest Carpenter ran to the window, leaving Mindy against the dresser by herself as Sam opened the window. While the Conner girl waited, her eyes glanced over Anika, the poor girl practically cut open. "Anika, look at me." The crying girl slowly lifted her head to meet Liesel's eyes. "You're going to be okay. We all are, okay?" Anika nodded her head as she cried, Sam moving away from the window to turn to Liesel.
"One by one on the ladder." The Carpenter girl turned to Mindy and Anika, telling them that they needed to go first.
"What? No."
"Go in order of who's hurt. Anika, Mindy, Sam, me. I'll be okay, I can hold him off. You three need to go first." Mindy began to shake her head, looking at Liesel, telling her she needed to hold the bathroom door.
"Liesel, Sam, Anika, me. Hurry the fuck up and go!" Sam turned to Liesel, who wasn't going to argue in the middle of almost dying so she moved away from the door and hurried towards the window.
"Climb on, and come to me, Conner!" Liesel looked over the alley below before looking up to see their neighbor looking back at her. "Come on! There's not much time, kid!"
"Stop being a bitch, Liesl Conner!" Liesel nodded in agreement with Mindy, telling herself to hurry it the fuck up as she climbed onto the ladder, beginning her agonizingly long crawl along the horizontal ladder. As she got towards the end, the man pulled her into his apartment, Sam climbing on the ladder next.
"Sam, come on. Eyes on me, baby! Keep your eyes on me." The Conner girl stood behind the man, her hands on her head as she began to cry, her phone buzzing constantly in her back pocket. She knew Ethan was trying to reach her, and she hoped that he would listen and stay away from the apartment. "It ain't going anywhere. It's gonna hold you, I promise."
"Sam, she's losing a lot of blood."
"Say something more positive!" Liesel hoped that the two girls in Quinn's room would make it in time, watching as Sam finally made it across the ladder, the three of them yelling towards the other girls.
"Mindy, Anika, hurry it the fuck up! Come on. Anika, please. I love you two, but move your guys' assess." The three watched as Mindy helped Anika off the bed, moving the two of them towards the window.
"You have to go first." The scared girl began to shake her head, telling Mindy she couldn't. "Look at me. You have to go!"
"No, Mindy, no! I'll be right behind you, I promise!" The killer had pushed hard enough to begin to move the dresser, scaring the two girls. Mindy quickly grabbed the girls face, connecting their lips as Liesel yelled from across the dark alley.
"You guys are cute and all but now is not the fucking time Mindy! Get the fuck across this ladder!" Mindy pulled away from her girl and made it to the window, climbing onto the ladder before she began to make her way across, slowly so she could be sure she wouldn't tip it. "Come on, Mindy. You've got this!" The killer began to make progress with the dresser, pushing it back inch by inch as Mindy crawled.
"Baby, you can't stop!"
"Anika's coming right behind you." The neighbor quickly pulled Mindy into his apartment before the four of them turned to the other apartment, yelling for Anika to hurry and get on the ladder. The wounded girl cried as she pulled herself onto the ladder, telling the group she couldn't do it.
"Look at me! You can do it! You're doing good." The ladder wobbled as the girl crawled across, the killer finally pushing through to get into the room. The three girls suddenly froze in terror as Anika questioned them. "Anika, you have to move right now!" The crying girl turned her head to see the killer at the window, dropping her head.
"Don't look down, Anika! Please, just move faster!" The girls yelled for her to move faster as the killer stabbed his knife into the wood by the window, grabbing onto the ladder, beginning to move it.
"No! Please, no!" The killer aggressively moved the ladder, the girl crying as she tried to hang on... until she couldn't anymore.
"Baby, I don't want to die!"
