josh showed other articles of other murderers. "ruby is one of shadyside killers, just like skull mask- i mean ryan torres" amara took a deep breath at the sound of ryan.

he took ruby's article away and replaced it with camp nightwing.

"1978,"

amara sped read the article before stopping over the name 'elizabeth slater'. the name that sounded familiar to her but she didn't know why.

"16 years ago, masked psycho murders kids at camp nightwing"

"my mom's sister went there, screwed my family up for a long time" kate admitted.

josh took out another article. "1950, harry rooker. local milkman slashes a bunch of housewives" he sets down another one. "1935, humpty dumpty killer" another one. "1922, billy barker" another one. "1904, grifter guts girls, and on and on" josh placed down one more paper. "it happens in shadyside over and over. normal people turn into psycho's"

simon noticed one piece of paper with a guy that had pure black eyes and what seemed like black blood seeping from his lifeless eyes.

"that's the pastor, cyrus miller. 1666, he was the first one recorded. he um..he killed kids and cut out their eyes"

amara felt sick just thinking about it. sam's face turned pale so she got up and walked out the room looking like she was about to be sick. deena decided to follow her but josh still continued talking.

"none of this is random, it's sarah feir. she's turning shadysiders into killers"

"you can't really believe that. i mean, no-one actually believes this witch shit is real" kate added into josh's rant about the witch.

"yeah, it's just something babysitters make up to scare kids" simon said.

"even my parents told me that story when i was misbehaving to scare me" amara said.

josh kept shaking his head. "1666, sarah feir was hanged for witchcraft, fact"

"i mean back then they used to hang people who they thought were witches because they did something that made it seem like they were witches. doesn't mean she actually was one" amara told them, placing her hand on her forehead.

josh stared at her making amara feel a tad bit uncomfortable. "but ever since she was excecuted, she's been possessing people, turning them into killers to take revenge on the town"

"si, what's the nursery rhyme?" amara asked.

"before the witches final breath she found a way to cheat her death. by cutting of her cursed..hand, she kept her grip upon our land. she reaches beyond her grave to make good men her wicked slaves"

"don't you see what's happening? this is all proof, shadyside isn't a hotbed for psychos. all the massacres are releated to sarah fier"

"let's assume that the witch has been possessing people for some messed up vendetta. this isn't the same as the mall massacre. something different is happening to us, something way worse. okay, we have two of her killers after us and both of them are dead. why is she so mad at us?" kate said.

"i saw her," a different voice said making them all turn their heads to see sam standing in the doorway with deena by her side.

"last night, i don't..i don't know. i thought i hit my head, it was her. i saw the witch"

amara hesitated believing sarah feir was poessessing people but that was the only idea that they had. she wished there was a simpler idea for what happened to her heather.

if it really was the witch was ryan torres really to blame for killing her sister? did he know it was heather? did he have a choice?

they decided to go to the place sam said she saw the witch. "simon, do you really believe that the witch is real and that this is happening because of her?" amara had asked him.

simon was really thinking how to answer the question and not seem like a toddler being scared of a witch. "i mean, yeah, i guess, there isn't any other explanation and until there is then a dead witch is tryna kill us"

sam walked to the car crash and showed them all what happened. "i fell out of the car.." she decided to get on her hands and knees and started crawling. "my nose started bleeding, and then..i feel something"

sam started tugging on something and once she did they all noticed it was chains she felt.

what amara saw made her feel sick, made her close her eyes in disgust.

a skull. a human skull was attached to the chains. josh helped sam pull up the rest of the chains and a little lock was found, engraved with the name 'feir'

"it's her, it's her grave," josh said, causing alarm to everyone around. "oh no no no, this is bad. this is really bad" simon added.

simon backed away a little from the skull and chains.  "no wonder the witch is pissed at us. i'd be pissed too" kate started. she glared at sam, "sam disturbed her grave"

"now she's sending her henchman after us" josh told them. amara fully looked at josh, feeling scared and petrified that in any moment she could be sliced and diced.

"henchman? as in every one of those sickos on your wall is coming after us?" kate asked.

amara bit her fingernails as her leg bounced up and down. "great! we're gonna get murdered by dead murderers!" amara said, standing up and walking with her torch pointing it around the forest.

"she's mad because we disturbed her grave right?" simon asked, he obviously had an idea, if it was a good one or not is not up to simon.

"yeah, so?" deena said.

"so, let's un-disturb it! just put the bones back, rebury them and put her to rest," simon suggested.

"really simon? like that would work" amara told him.

"in poltergiest-"

a twig snapped making kate interupt simon. "whatever, let's just do it quickly so we can go"

josh was using his flashlight to see what was making the snapping twigs snap. "guys hurry up!" amara said.

amara was frightend, scared but she wasn't going to tell anyone because she had to be tough. had to show that even though there were killers after them she wasn't afraid to fight back..even though she was.

"deena! find something to wrap the bones in" simon had instructed. deena went to the car that peter had drove and picked up his sunnyvale jacket.

simon and kate dug out the bones and wrapped it up in peter's jersey. "i think there's someone out here" josh said.

"there, there" simon said once the body was fully wrapped. "we're sorry"

the world went quiet..too quiet.

"did it work?" kate asked.

josh and amara flashed their torches around until they both spotted a guy with a sack on his head and an axe. "fuck!" amara exclaimed.

camp night wing killer.

the man ran to josh and amara but they both leapt out of the way. it was as if the man didn't know they were there, which was impossible because they were the ones holding the torches.

they all ran to the ambulance with the axe murderer still chasing after them. once they got in they all were heavy breathing.

"that was a bust," kate said. she was driving the ambulance but still wanted to talk.

"yeah, maybe cause it's not like the movies" deena went to grab a towel to wipe sam's bloody nose..again. "it's not as easy as putting her bones to rest"

"it should've worked! it always works" simon was sure it would have worked but it was just a guess how to end it.

"maybe it's her missing hand" josh suggested. "who gives a shit, it doesn't matter. hey, how do i not die?" kate said.

"we," simon tried to correct kate as it was all of them that was trying to survive. "how do we not die? and i'm looking at you witch nerd"

"i-i don't know" josh stuttered.

"they're not coming for us!" sam said. "they're coming for me"
