PSYCHOPATHS [+18] SCREAM

Chapter 8

Warning This Chapter Is a little Intense.

Amara POV

"How are you awake right now?" I ask, pulling his attention from his daughter, his eyes scan me for a moment not saying anything, so I ask something different. "Is Daniel awake now too?"

His jaw clenched as he looked away from me. Before I can push further my mom limps in the room with a fearful look on her face, "Did you just say Daniel, as in Daniel Espen? How do you know that name?" she questions loudly, suddenly gripping my shoulders.

"How do you know that name?" I ask confused, when I first brought it up to her she said she didn't know what I was talking about.

"He was my sister's stalker after she died he became a serial killer, if he's awake we have to move now," she urges as she starts to pack the twin's diaper bag. I call her name a few times trying to tell her to stop and talk to us but she ignores me continuing to pack.

"We can't leave,"

"Amara, that man is pure evil, he may still look young but he's a monster and he will not stop until we are all dead, just like he promised all those years ago." she snaps at me, so much fear reflects at me, I hear Billy take a deep breath before stepping away.

"Why does he want you dead Mom?"

"Back then, Maya and I were best friends with Maureen Prescott. We were all very close but when Maya and Maureen's dreams became similar they became even closer, they left home for a while to try to pursue acting careers but after a few months they came back. I'm not sure what they went through but neither of them was ever the same. Maya started dating Daniel but one day Maureen and Maya had a falling out when Daniel got too drunk from all the drinks Cotton and his brother were giving him, she kissed him without his consent but it didn't look that way to Maya so she left, she was found an hour later dead a few feet from the party. He always blamed us, a few months later bodies in Woodsboro started dropping like flies, he murdered your father's brother which is why he skipped town and didn't know about you,"

"I can't believe you never told me about any of this," I mumble after a few minutes deep in thought. We're connected to this more than I thought.

"I've had my reasons, I didn't think he'd ever wake up, how was I supposed to know all that voodoo stuff was real,"

"We should go soon then," Billy finally says. I look at him like he's gone crazy before taking Sam out of his arms. His face immediately drops without her in his arms, and for a moment I feel guilt.

"There is no we, you've spent almost a year with that demon, he could use you to get to us," His eyes are hard and narrow at me, his entire aura suddenly becoming cold.

"Don't fuck with me right now," he takes a step forward and I take a fearful one back.

"Hold on, wait, maybe I should take the twins out of here while you guys talk this out," my mom speaks up pushing between us before grabbing Warren from his bed, Billy looks sad as my mom carries him away, I follow after her holding Sam tight, I knew as long as I held them close he wouldn't hurt me. As I strap in the twins he appears suddenly gripping my wrist.

"I want them back here in the morning, or I will start killing everyone you know, starting with Daddy dearest," he whispers but loud enough for my mom to hear, she nods at him before getting in the van and driving away. We head back into the house but I make sure I have my knife good and ready

The air in the room gets stifling until I break it, "You crazy if you think I'd let you near them

"Stu told me you've been with him all this time, he's sick and twisted and who knows what he's done to you and what he plans to do with our family," I tighten my hand around the knife.
