I immediately got out of the Van & quickly winced in pain. 'Shit' forgetting i had just gotten Stabbed not even a day ago.

'Hey, hey take it easy' Ethan made his way helping stabilize & leading me into the scene. 'Thank you' I managed to say still in a panic state.

Sam & Tara had already made their way inside the scene, while Gale was being led out in a bed, unconscious & and in severe bad state passing through the lobby.

'Oh my god.' I gasped & turned around in shock covering my eyes with Ethan's chest.

He gasped at the sudden move i did, wrapping his arms around me caressing my head from what we just saw.

Mindy noticed this & sighed at the moment.

We all sat in the Lobby, I sat between Ethan & Mindy while we exchanged scared, worried looks with one another. There was a sudden thud, a door opened immediately. Danny made his way into the scene going straight to Sam.

'Hey! I got here as fast as i could.' He said out of breath, causing all of us to eye him suspiciously.

Sam's eyes widen by the sudden arrival. 'Did you?' Tara interrupted. Danny got offended by Tara's comment.

'I'm scared you guys.' Mindy stated. 'I don't want you guys getting hurt.'

' Neither do i.' Chad whispered.

'I hate this whole FanFiction novel shitty life we're experiencing right now. Why 𝑼𝒔? We didn't ask for any of this.' I sighed.

'I rather be at Hogwarts right now dealing with that Voldy character.' Chad said sarcastically as he rests his head on Mindy's shoulder trying to 'lighten up' the mood.

'So...what do we do now?' I said staring blankly at the ground.

'Maybe he gets to win this time.' Sam said. We all turned & looked at sam in disbelief.

'He wants to punish me, so maybe I'll let him.
I'll just- give myself up.' She forced herself to say. 'If this is what I have to do to keep you safe, it's worth it.'

'You want to give up?' Mindy stated.

'Everyone thinks I'm this terrible person.
Maybe they're right.' Sam turns to look at Tara.
'You said it, It's not like I have a plan for my life anyway. If it's what I need to do to keep you all safe... then it's worth it.'

'Sam, no. Fuck that.' Tara answered. 'You came back to Woodsboro protecting me & have been protecting me ever since. We're still alive because of you.'

'So maybe it'g time you let us protect you. We're a team, remember?' Tara added.

'We're a family.' Mindy finished.

'Hell yeah! Core Five.' Chad pitching in.

'Core what?' Danny said.

'It's an Us thing' I smiled.

'He's going to keep coming for us.' Sam said.

'Can't we just hole up somewhere safe?' Ethan finally spoke up.

'There is nowhere safe. Like Sam said, he'll find us.' Tara responded

Then it clicked.

' That's great.' I whispered making everyone look at me.

'Are you out of your mind Y/n?!' Mindy stated.
