{Zaira's Pov}

Tara had just come home from work and she sat down next to Chad who put his arm around her

Are you okay Tara? You seem stressed, I asked her.

I just don't want to put you all in danger, Tara said as she got tears in her eyes.

Tara, you won't get us hurt, trust me, I told her.

Zaira you don't get it, Everyone I got close to died, two years ago, Wes died, Liv died, Amber was Ghostface, Richie was Ghostface, last year, Anika died, Quinn was Ghostface, Detective Bailey was Ghostface, Ethan was Ghostface, and Sam is the daughter of Billy Loomis, Tara said as she put her head on Chad's lap and started sobbing.

Mindy got up and walked to her room where, Zaira, Sam, and Serenity followed her.

Mindy what's wrong, you seem upset, Serenity asked.

I just...Whenever someone brings up Anika or her death it makes me feel like I couldn't do anything about it, Mindy said.

She was on a ladder, she was saving you from dying Mindy, She loved you, Sam said.

Can I just be alone? Mindy asked.

Yeah, we'll let you be, if that's what you want, Zaira said.

Thanks, Mindy said as she lied down.

{Mindy's Pov}

Mindy was asleep dreaming about how she and Anika met

Mindy's dream:
Mindy and Anika first crossed paths at a crowded coffee shop during a rainstorm. Mindy, struggling with her umbrella, accidentally bumped into Anika, causing both of them to share a laugh. They struck up a conversation while waiting for their orders, bonding over their love for horror movies and quirky hobbies. The unexpected encounter sparked an instant connection, leading to a healthy and good relationship

I'd say Stab is a pretty good classic, Anika said.

My uncle Randy was a survivor but he only lived till 1997, Mindy added.

That's cool, I mean at least he was a survivor, Anika replied.

Mindy then started dreaming about Anika's death

Anika, you have to move right now! Mindy yelled

Anika looked back and saw Ghostface and started slowly moving through the ladder, as everyone started yelling "You have to move!" Ghostface stuck his knife into the window frame and started shaking the ladder

Baby, I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die, Anika yelled.

No, Anika, Mindy cried

Anika, give me your hand, I got you, Sam said extending her hand for Anika to grab it.

Anika tried grabbing Sam's hand but it kept sliding because of the blood on Anika's hands and because Ghostface kept shaking the ladder, and as much as Anika wanted to live...She fell, causing her head to hit a dumpster

Mindy woke up gasping hard and slowly crying which startled Abby who was just walking into the room

What happened? Are you ok? Abby asked.

Sorry, I just had a nightmare, I replied.

About what? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Abby said.

Just about last year...And Anika's death, sorry if it startled you, I didn't think people would come in here, I mean...I don't like it when people come into the room unannounced, I explained.

I'm sorry I just came to wake you up because Uh...Chad came home with food, and soda, Abby told me.

Yeah, ok I'll be out in a second, I replied.

Alright, Abby said.

A few minutes later, Mindy came out, grabbed a plate, and grabbed a few pieces of pizza while she sat next to Zaira

I'm not okay, I said.

Mindy, I'm sure you'll be fine, We just need to call down, it's not like there's gonna be another kill just...Out of the blue, Killing these days is boring, except for Jennifer Tilly's murder, hers seemed brutal, I wonder who did it, Clara said.

Whoever did is an Idiot, Jennifer Tilly is an icon, She is THE queen of poker, I mean whoever thought of killing an Icon is a fucking cunt, Serenity said.

Jennifer Tilly was wanted for murder, people might be glad she's dead, Jake said.

Well, they never confirmed that SHE did commit the murders, Imagine how her friends and kids feel, Abby said.

Abby's right, I mean Jennifer Tilly is THE queen of poker, Ziara added.

I think she did well in Chucky Goes Pshyco, The Bride of Chucky, and Seed of Chucky as Tiffany Valentine, I said.

More than perfect, Claire said.

Yeah, Zaira said as she turned the TV on.

Good evening, I'm Gale Weathers reporting from near Happy Lemon on Westwood Village in Seattle, Washington. A tragic and horrifying incident unfolded as three teenagers who wanted to go dumpster diving discovered the lifeless body of Everly Connors, an employee at Happy Lemon. Shockingly, she had suffered approximately 10 stab wounds to her abdomen, and her throat had been brutally slit, Gale said thru the TV.

What? No, Tara said.

Tara, what's wrong? Sam asked.

Everly, she's my coworker, that's Everly, Everly's dead! Tara yelled.

Tara, you don't think...Sam said.

I think Ghostface is back...Again, Tara said.

Dude, how? When will we stop killing the loved ones and finding out our friends are killers? Like grow up and grieve, I rolled my eyes

Mindy, calm down, Chad said

Dude, no, you almost died, I said

Almost, that's a good thing, that I lived, you don't se that every day, now do you?

I thought that was only in Stab, Eden said.

it's not just from Stab, it's real life, Zaira explained.

Are you sure? I mean I'm not pointing fingers but I mean you do look like those kids, Zaira said.

Zaira, we're not those kids, we are innocent, Jake said.

You sure? I mean you guy look exactly like them, Sam added.

I still don't think this Ghostface bullshit is really a real thing, Eden said.

Well, Ghostface is real, I said.

Sure, Eden replied

Eden, Ghostface IS real, Me, Sam, Tara, and Chad have been through this hell twice, and believe me it wasn't pleasant, If we could change the past we would, I told Eden.

Well I'm sorry but it's depressing to know you think the ghostface shit is real, I mean it's stupid, Eden said

Eden, if your gonna do this I want you out of my house, Sam told her

What? I didn't-  Whatever, Eden got up and left the house

Sam that was a bad idea! You kicked her out after a murder was announced! Tara added

"no one will wanna kill her"

San muttered under her breath...
