Love (Slashers X Male Reader)

TWELVE

Billy and Stu stare at the other Ghost Face in shock. Neither one of them had noticed the imposter approaching, nor did they know how long they had been sitting there listening to them. The fact that the person was able to sneak up on both of them is impressive and honestly a bit intimidating. Even though they currently outnumber the stranger, they both are hesitant to even try to fight him as they don't know what other skills he might have.

"I must say, I'm a bit excited right now." Danny's voice comes out warped through the voice modulator though it doesn't do anything to hide the lilt of genuine excitement in his voice. "I think it's a bit obvious that I'm a big fan of the two of you. As much as I'd love to ask for a picture I think there's something a bit more pressing to take care of right now."

Danny stands up from his crouched position, making the other two stand as well so they can properly defend themselves should he attack. "I'd appreciate it if you two came with me willingly to make things a lot easier. I'd hate to have to call the others out here because I can guarantee they won't be as nice as I am being."

Billy and Stu exchange unseen looks before agreeing to go with him peacefully. They know that if the other Ghost Face were to call Michael and Jason out that they likely wouldn't make it out of there alive. Their best chance of survival is to just do as told and hope for the best.

Following Danny inside, the two are thoroughly shocked when they find a lot more people inside than expected. The first person they notice is you who is standing in the living room chatting with a rather redneck looking man who seems overly happy just to be talking to you. They also notice a few others sitting around though they don't entirely recognize any of them.

Taking notice of them, you turn towards them with your brows raised in surprise. "Danny? What's going on?"

Danny pats the two harshly on the back, pushing them a bit forward before moving past them to stand next to you where he wraps his arm around your waist. "Found these two lurking in the woods. Doll, I'd like to introduce you to the original Ghost Face's."

When Danny motions towards them, Billy and Stu take that as their que to take off their masks despite the fact that it would reveal their identities to not only you but the multiple other people in the room. Once the two remove their masks you gasp lightly. "Billy and Stu?"

"Ah, I figured you would already know them." Danny removes his own mask, tossing it onto a nearby table. "You got a bad habit of attracting the wrong type of crowd Doll."

"How'd you know they were here?" You question, curious as to how Danny would've noticed the two lurking on the property if they're skilled killers.

"Jason sensed them and I volunteered to go check it out." He shrugs nonchalantly.

"Why were they stalking (Y/N)?" Brahms appears at your other side, standing at his full height and using his real voice as an intimidation tactic.

"We were planning on making him our next victim." Stu admits nervously, blurting it out before he could really think it through. He figured it was probably better to be truthful up front rather than attempting to make up a convincing lie. There isn't really anything they could say other than the truth to explain why they were creeping around the woods dressed as Ghost Face.

Unexpectedly, Stu is roughly lifted into the air, a strong grip wrapped around his throat. The man struggles, kicking at his assailant to no avail. Billy looks a bit panicked as well but he knows there's nothing he can do in the situation that wouldn't result in himself being attacked as well.

"Michael!" You yell at the killer currently choking Stu. He grunts, barely acknowledging you. "What did I say about killing people?"

Michael hesitates before releasing Stu, dropping him onto the ground where he lands roughly on his ass with a pained groan. Walking forward- much against Danny's protest as his grip on your waist tightens before dropping- you approach Stu and crouch in front of him. The poor man flinches as you reach forward but relaxes upon feeling the gentle touch of your fingers against his injured throat.

"Come on. Let's get some ice on that before it gets worse." You stand from your crouched position and offer him your hand, him surprisingly taking it as you help him up. Leading him to the kitchen, Billy follows after not really wanting to be left alone in the tension filled room.

Entering the kitchen, you're met with Hannibal who is quietly preparing dinner for everyone. He smiles when you enter, not questioning the two newcomers as he was likely eavesdropping the entire time. You return the smile, whispering that the food smells good as you pass by him before having Stu sit on a chair at the dining room table.

Leaving him and Billy there you quickly head back into the kitchen to grab an ice pack. As you're walking back you hear the two of them whispering to each other but you can't quite make out what they're saying as they suddenly quiet down and look at you nervously.

"Sorry about all that." You apologize as you hand Stu the ice pack. "They tend to be a bit overprotective."

"Why do they care so much about you?" Stu questions, his voice raspy from having his throat squeezed. Billy nudges him a bit roughly with a glare as if scolding him for the invasive question.

You simply laugh them off as you take a seat at the chair across from them. "I was their nurse back at the Sanitarium they were all staying at. I guess my kindness and lack of judgement won them over."

"Why are you being nice to us?" Billy cuts in, getting a bit irritated that you're treating them so well despite finding out just moments ago you were going to be their next victim.

"Because even though it was likely an act, you two were quite nice to me when we met at the store. I know that you planned to kill me but you haven't actually acted on it yet. To me, I have no reason to hate you yet."

"You're weird." Stu scoffs out a bit of a laugh.

You laugh as well, the action unknowingly calming the two of them down a bit. "I've been told that before." You pause for a moment before looking outside the kitchen window. "It's getting pretty late. Would you two want to stay for dinner? If you're not comfortable driving at night you can stay until the morning, too."

Billy and Stu look at each other as they have a mental conversation before turning to look back at you. Stu smiles brightly, the sight surprisingly making your heart skip a beat. "That sounds great."
