mess it up, ˢᵃᵐ ᶜᵃʳᵖᵉⁿᵗᵉʳ

𝟎𝟎𝟐.

The two girls put on their jackets, walking out of the apartment after telling everyone to stay put. Tara followed them outside, making Sam speak up. ''You should go back upstairs and lock the door-'' Madison placed her hand on Tara's arm agreeing with Sam. ''Oh, now we shouldn't stick together?'' Sam nodded, knowing her sister was right.

They continued walking when Madi's phone rang, again, making her jump. When she saw Amber's contact pop up, she turned her phone off, ignoring the call altogether. The two sisters went to protest but Madison shot them a look.

After she'd done this, Sam's phone started ringing. When Richie's contact popped up on the screen, Tara gasped, turning to look at the elder girls. ''What the fuck...?'' Madison stayed silent, she knew it wasn't over. ''I never deleted his contact. This is coming from his number...''

The phone kept ringing. Madison's face hardened. She then snatched the phone out of Sam's hand, before answering it. ''Who is this?'' The two women spoke at the same time. ''Hello, Samantha, Madison. Did you miss me?'' The three looked around, seeing if they could see anyone.

''I want you to think long and hard about whether you really want to do this. Because the last two people who fucked with us ended up dead.'' Sam spoke, looking at Madison.

''You should be thanking me, girls. Jason and Greg were going to kill you and your siblings. I gutted them before they had the chance.''

Sam scoffed. ''So, what, you're protecting us?'' She said, speaking for them. ''Not quite. I'm going to show the world who you really are. Liars. Killers. I'm going to punish you, both.'' Madison let out a laugh.

"'You shouldn't believe everything you read online, dick.'' The person on the other line chuckled. ''Don't be cute, Madison. You're both going to pay for what you did. I'm going to butcher you and everyone you love.'' Madison laughed, trying not to show that she was slightly scared. Not for her safety, but the twins, Tara, and Sam.

She had always been that way, even way before the murders, everyone else's safety and feelings came before her own. Madison was a selfless people-pleaser and she didn't think that would ever change. Her Uncle Randy was the same way.

''You're just another psycho like all the others-'' The person on the other line spoke over Sam. ''Oh, there's never been one like me, Sam. I'm something... different. You all better watch your backs.'' Madison looked around, not noticing anyone acting weird.

''You better watch yours-'' Madison spoke, she was cut off by somebody grabbing Tara.

They sprung from up from the rusted stairwell, yanking Tara over the railing. Tara elbowed him in the gut making him stumble back, clearly winded. She scrambled up the stairs, and the three girls began running for help.

Madison's scar that rested above her hip began to burn. She knew it was phantom pain, the wound had healed perfectly fine, but the tingling sensation just made her fear intensify.

It's not over. Would it ever be over?

''Help! Somebody help us!'' There aren't many people around on the quiet street, no one that was close enough to help. Ghostface jumped over the railing and sprinted after them.

The three girls continued running until they came across the bodega. Sam and Tara ran up to the clerk at the counter, whilst Madi checks the door.

The man first in the line scoffed at the sisters. ''Whoa, there's a fuckin' line!'' Sam ignored the man completely, shouting franticly. ''Please, someone just attacked us, call the police-'' The door swung open, Ghostface walked in. Madison hid behind one of the shelves, clutching her pocket knife tightly in her hands. She knew Sam and Tara would be fine. Sam wouldn't let anything happen to them.

A man stood in front of Ghostface, clearly not scared. ''We got a problem here, guy?'' Madison winced as she heard him get repeatedly stabbed. He wasn't lying. There had never been one like him before.

The guy dropped dead. Ghostface slashed at everyone else in his path, moving closer to the sisters. The only thing on Sam's mind is Madison. Where was she? Was she okay?

The clerk shouted for them to drop, and as they did, the clerk aimed his shotgun at Ghostface. The killer ducked behind a rack as the clerk shot the chip display down. ''There's a door in the back!'' Tara thanked him as the two girls stood.

Sam didn't know where Madison was and she was panicking. She just hoped she wasn't in the store with them. The said girl still sat crouched, holding her knife, waiting for the perfect time to show herself.

''Fuck! Sir, we need the keys!'' The clerk moved from behind the counter, not noticing Ghostface behind him. ''Look out!'' Ghostface headbutt the clerk, knocking him into a vending machine.

Ghostface shot him with the gun, the sound of blood splattering everywhere, made Madison shiver. With a heavy breath, she knew she needed to get up and help the girls.

''Hey! Dick face!'' Madison shouted, putting her knife back in her pocket knowing it wouldn't help much. Ghostface turned around to face her, tilting his head, clearly mocking her.

She knew she was probably being ridiculously stupid right now, and that Sam would probably give her a lecture if they made it out alive. But in that moment, Madison just wanted to end this.
If that was even possible.

''What? You just gonna stare? Come on, do something.'' Madison mocked him, moving around the store as a distraction. Sam watched with a terrified look on her face, flinching slightly when Tara placed her hand in hers.

Ghostface walked to her slowly, taunting her. Madison was shaking on the inside but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. ''Yeah? You wanna dance Mr Ghostface?'' Ghostface was stood two feet away from her, he cocked the gun, making Sam start shaking from her hiding place.

Madi took the pocket knife out of her pocket, slitting his cloak slightly. Ghostface, hit her on the head with the butt of the gun, knocking her out cold.
