Liar - Ethan Landry x Reader/OC

Chapter 11: The beginning of the end

I swear the world crumbled around me when I saw who was behind the mask. Ethan. The one person I didn't want to see.

"Ta-da!" Detective Bailey cheered, a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Mindy was right, it was easy to juke the roommate lottery. All I had to do to meet you was room with a conceited, condescending alpha - literally named Chad! Fuck, it felt good to kill him!" He spoke, a grin on his face.

I've never felt so stupid in my life. I knew it was him, there were so many signs. Signs I saw ever so blatantly, how could I be so stupid. The apartment should've been a dead, fucking, giveaway.

"This one was your grandmother's, Sam. Nancy Loomis. Really runs in your fucking family, doesn't it?" He continued, his tone turning angrier.

"And speaking of family..." He starts, pausing for dramatic effect.

"Wait for it!" Detective Bailey interrupted, chuckling.

"My name isn't even Ethan Landry! ...Is it, Dad?" Ethan continued, while Bailey laughed.

"Dad?" I question quietly, tears falling from my eyes.

"Wait...if it's you two, that just leaves...Mindy?" Sam questions, confused.

The second Ghostface turns to stare at her before removing their mask.

"Hey roomies," Quinn said with a sing-songy tone, "Didn't see that one coming, did you?"

"Yeah, 'cause you died!" Tara shouted at her, completely in disbelief.

"Kind of didn't. Though...it was a good way to get off the suspect list. Stab Gale Weathers, stab Mindy on the train...that sort of thing." Quinn said with a smirk.

"Yeah, and I made sure I was first on the scene so I could switch her out with a fresh body. You'd be surprised what a grieving father can get away with." Bailey spoke, proud of his accomplishments.

"I got Stu machers mask! He was my favorite." Quinn said, as her and Ethan walked on opposite sides of us.

Ethan put his mask on a mannequin that held Nancy Loomis' outfit, while I stared at him disappointingly.

"Nice! Well that's three, and two," Bailey spoke, pointing to Stu and Nancy's masks, "...which leaves...your fathers." He pulled out Billys mask from his jacket and held it out to Sam, "This is what we've been counting down too, Sam. I'm going to need you to put it on."

Sam stared at the mask for a moment, before slapping it out of his hand, "Fuck you!"

I saw Ethan move to hit Sam with his knife, so I quickly moved in front of her taking the blow on my arm instead of hers.

"Shit!" I whisper yelled, putting my hand on the wound, and applying pressure.

"You stay the fuck away from her!" Tara shouts, her eyes switching between the three.

"Damn it Nicole!" Ethan yells out, "Always in the fucking way!"

"What's that supposed to mean!" I shout back at him, while sam wraps a piece of her shirt she ripped off on my arm to help with the bleeding.

"What- what is this? You did this as a family?!" Sam shouts out confused, as she pulls me behind her. Great, now i'm being babysat.

"Hell yeah, bitch, you should know better than anyone!" Quinn says, stepping closer to her, holding her knife out.
