chapter 12 - caught off guard.

the girls all stand in the foyer as they hear mumbling voices come from the attic and a loud thud. they then hear rio scream..theres a silence before the masked figure steps out of the room, they stare down at the girls. daria speaks up, "..run." the girls all immediately turn around and run out of the front door until maisie stops, "what about brandon?!" daria and serenity turns as daria yells, "goddamnit!"
the girls look around, the house is completely in the middle of nowhere..they wouldn't be able to go get help. they all slowly turn back and walk up to the house, they all take a breath before walking in together. they look around as daria speaks up, "wait..if brandons the only one gone..and carmens dead, and steven and rio were in the attic, doesn't that only leave him..?" maisie and serenity look at eachother before maisie speaks up, "holy shit..he's the killer." serenity replies, "the sick fuck killed his own girlfriend..?" the girls all stand in shock until..the masked figure jumps out at them, they slash at serenity as she screams. maisie and daria shove them away as the lunge at all of the girls, splitting them all up around the house.

daria sprints down a hallway and runs directly into the living room, she looks back at doesn't see anything. she rushes into the kitchen and grabs a kitchen knife from the knife block, she goes to grab her phone in her back pocket..but she doesn't feel anything. she looks, her phone is gone. "..shit." daria then feels someone grab her from behind, causing her to drop the knife. she screams as she sees the black glove infront of her face holding a knife. she grabs their wrist..trying to pry them away as they slowly start to bring the knife closer to her throat, she slams herself backwards, sending the person into the wall. they grunt in pain as daria rips herself away and turns, she kicks the person in the groin as they fall to their knees. she grabs the mask, and swiftly pulls it over their face. her jaw drops when she sees rio under the mask, "..rio?" rio grunts in pain as he looks up at her, "..you're stronger than you look, bitch.." daria backs away as rio begins to stand up and hold her at knife point. "could've made this a whole hell of a lot easier for yourself, daria.." daria yells, "fuck you-!" before shoving rio to the side and beginning to run towards the front door, as she opens the door..the other ghostface stands infront of the door as they quickly send their knife into darias gut. daria yells out in pain as the masked person rips their knife out and glare at her, daria holds her hand over her wound as the person grabs their mask, and begins to lift it over their face..revealing to be..maisie.

daria stares in shock, "..maisie...?" maisie chuckles, "hey, dar..sorry to do this to you." daria looks at her, "b-but you..we've been friends since fucking forever.." maisie sighs, "yeah, we were..before you started getting all that attention that should've been mine." daria asks, "..what are you talking about?" maisie sighs, "rio, get her into the living room..she wants a motive, i see." rio laughs as he grabs daria by the hair and drags her into the living room, he tosses her into the corner as maisie walks up to her. "you wanna know what i'm talking about, hm?" daria looks deeply as maisie continues, "y'know..i really did consider you my best friend, till i started to realize..all that popularity you got just for being a fucking survivors daughter? i wanted that, and all i got was you rubbing it in my face." daria speaks up, "maisie please.." maisie cuts her off, "no. when i realized how much i wanted that..i knew i would do anything to have it, and with your parents having all that going on..i figured..why the hell not?" maisie laughed as she looked back at rio, "we both talked about it, and we immediately knew it was an amazing plan." rio said. daria looked at them both as she asked, "..but where the hell is brandon?" maisie smiles, "perfect timing, actually." maisie looks back at rio, signaling him as rio walked off and opened the pantry in the kitchen, pulling out brandon tied up and his mouth duct taped. rio throws him to the ground as brandon grunts. maisie rips the tape off as brandon speaks up, "..what the fuck are you guys doing..?" maisie looks down at him, "what does it look like we're doing? like noo..pshh we're just holding daria at knife point for fun..oh wait, we kinda are." maisie chuckled. brandon then responded, "..you fucks killed renae." maisie groaned, "god, will you move on? that bitch was so annoying." brandon began to yell, "you two are fucking gonna pay! i swear to god i-" maisie then swiftly pulled out a gun from her waistband, pointed it at brandons head..and pulled the trigger. daria gasped as she saw brandons head matter splatter on the floor, maisie slowly lowered the gun and looked back at daria. "oh come on..don't act like you're not unfamiliar with this, it sure as hell runs in your family anyways." daria replies, "but..why pretend to taunt me all about john..? you two were responsible for that too.." rio laughed, "that whole situation just made this ten times easier..obviously we didn't mean for that to happen." maisie spoke up, "well..after the accident, i took johns phone so serenity wouldn't like..steal it or something, and god..it was easy as shit to get into." daria glared at maisie as she continued, "i mean, the dumbasses password was 123456..like how stupid can you be?" daria asked, "how did you guys send the photos and videos without people noticing.." rio responded, "we just used an app to send them on a timer, so it just looked like we were too busy to be sending anything at the moment." daria then asked, "..and you two think you're gonna get away with this how?" maisie responded, "well..once we just wipe our fingerprints off after we're done with you, we're gonna put brandons dna all over it." rio laughed, "it's gonna be amazing, two sole survivors.." maisie looked back at rio, "oh..about that, rio." rio looked at maisie, a bit confused now as she continued, "it seems only sole survivors get all the fame to themselves now." rio speaks up, "..what..?" maisie then points the gun at rio, and shoots him in the chest.

rio yells out in pain as he falls to the floor. daria watches in shock as maisie with one hand, points the gun at daria and with the other holds the knife. she kneels down to rio, "i appreciate your help..but it would only be better for me this way." rio watches in shock as maisie brings the knife up and sends it straight into rios chest, piercing his heart. rio groans in pain as his body goes limp and a puddle of blood forms around him, daria then asks, "..so you're doing this all for fame-?" maisie stands and looks at daria, "i guess you could say that, but also..it just sounds so fun to kill some people, doesn't it?" daria glares at maisie as she continues, "..so i'm sorry dar, but that means you have to go too." darias face drops as maisie goes on, "i'll make sure your family isn't hurt too badly though." maisie then grabs daria by the shoulder, pulls her arm back..and sends the knife deep into her gut again. daria yells out in pain as maisie rips out the knife..daria feels herself getting lightheaded as blood flows from her gut, she falls to the floor..limp as maisie stares down at her body.
