It was a late Monday night. Will had managed to convince his mom to sleep at Mike's. It did work and now they were outside of James' house. They knew where he live due to Troy. James didn't live far off from Troy which made it easier to know which house they had to target. James would be reuniting with Troy.

For now, James was sitting on his couch watching a horror movie. It was just any horror movie. It was the hit movie It. A movie that was based on the novel that Stephen King wrote. What an ironic time to be calling him. The perfect timing when James was just enjoying a good TV series that might be his last.

Will decided to give him a call. James paused the movie and answered the phone.

"Hello?" James asked.

"Hi, is this James?" Will asked him.

"Yeah, it's James." James confirmed.

"I'm a friend of Troy and he told me about you." Will said, playing it off casual.

"Troy's dead." James stated.

"I'm so sorry for your loss." Will said pretending to be sympathetic.

"It's life. People die." He replied.

He watched as James looked around. He was almost certain that Will was in his house. Though, it was someone else entirely. Mike already his in the kitchen's closet. It was evident that James was going to the kitchen. He was going to make popcorn nonetheless, but he hasn't hung up the phone yet.

"Do you wanna play a game?" Will shifted the subject.

He heard James scoff. Of course, it was a joke to James that Will was probably messing with him and that it was stupid. That's how most of the victims thought it was. They were wrong. It wasn't some stupid game, it was a question of Life or Death. If you were wrong, you would die.

"Okay." James replied.

"Answer the three questions correctly and you might be able to live." Will said.

"Excuse me?" James asked confused.

"How do you think Troy died? I thought you'd watch the news." Will said with a cold and sarcastic tone.

"You're the masked killer?" James asked.

"Nah, my boyfriend is. I'm just the distraction." Will answered honestly.

"Okay fine, I'll answer the questions." James said with some fear in his voice.

The way Will and Mike always pulled it off was to three way call their victims. It was the only way for Mike to get the signal or confirmation. All those times, he had been quiet and made sure his phone wasn't noisy. That's what made them successful in not getting caught. They knew how to play the game, but their victims didn't. So they always toyed with their victims when the chance was given.

"Let's start off easy, what's the true form of the clown in It?" Will asked.

"A spider." James answered.

"Correct. In 'Scream', Billy and Stu made it clear that the final girl was always a...?" Will trailed off.

"A virgin." James replied.

"It looks like you might live tonight James. The man in 'Nightmare on Elm street', what was his name?" Will asked.

"Be specific." James said.

"The antagonist, James. Who is he?" Will asked.

"Freddy Krueger." James said.

"Correct once again, James. It looks like tonight is your lucky night. You get to live." Will teased. "But do us one thing, never ever talk shit about Dustin Henderson again or I swear to God, your guts will be all over Hawkins High." Will threatened.

It seemed like James got the message. He begun closing everything and locking them. Unknown to the face that Mike was in his house. The phone was long gone hung up. Will laughed at how panicked James looked. He was afraid of him and Mike.

Will walked into the backyard of James' house. He knew that Mike would be showing up behind James, but he wanted to have a dramatic effect. He knocked on the glass door which James surprisingly heard. James rushed to the back and saw Will. He waved at James and tilted his head. James looked scared as he locked the glass door.

Will acted surprised and scared. He pretended to open he door, but couldn't. He noticed from behind James that Mike snuck up on him. Will tapped the glass, getting James' attention. He waved a goodbye to James before Mike stabbed him. It was a few minutes until James' body fell limp onto Mike.

He placed James' body in front of the TV. Mike unlocked the glass door and they made a run for it towards the woods. They heard sirens and quickly ran faster. It was a close one and thank God did they make it out alive. They quickly ran into Mike's basement and shut the door. They changed into some regular clothes.

They snuck up into Mike's room. Both boys noticed that Nancy was still awake and just assumed it was Johnathan. They closed Mike's door and hid the bag again. They sighed in relief and looked at each other with a stupid smile on their faces.

"Who do we have left?" Will asked curiously.

"We still have Billy Hargrove and Jason. Chrissy's boyfriend." Mike replied.

"Jesus Christ. Billy's easy, but I think we need to distract Max and not him." Will said.

Mike nodded. They headed to bed. They had to get in some sleep before school. That was only four hours, but they've managed way worst.

{§×§}

It was lunch. The group was sitting in their usual spots and Max was the first to notice that James hadn't come to school yet. She turned around and looked at the group. Lucas was the first one to caught on what she meant.

"No way." Lucas said.

"Are you seriously doubting me? James isn't here, which meant that the masked killers heard us. So they're in our school." Max explained.

"Remember in the movie. Billy and Stu were basically in Sidney's group. So, it has to be a group that they're in, right?" Will asked.

"I fucking forgot about that." Max groaned.

"How do you guys know do much about the movie?" Lucas asked.

"It's a good movie. Who wouldn't wanna watch it again?" Will asked.

"Me, I fucking hate blood." Lucas said in disgust.

"Now, I get why you always watch horror movies with us, Max." Jane notes.

Lucas rolled his eyes at the girls. It was just a common fact, nothing that was interesting. The bell rung and everyone split up again. This time El, Mike and Will were walking together since they had the same subject.
