die for you

Chapter 13

Richie takes the gun from Sam as Sidney tries to stand, but Richie yells, "Sit the fuck down, Prescott!"

Sam gasps and shakes her head at Richie. He twists the knife inside of her and she screams out in pain. The second Ghostface, Amber, takes her mask off, revealing herself to Sam. Richie hands her the gun, and Amber grabs Sidney by the back of her head, holding her hostage at gunpoint.

Richie pulls out Tara's spare inhaler before saying, "I can't believe this worked."

He tosses it aside as Sam looks at him, feeling extremely betrayed, "I know. It's a bummer it's me." He brings out the voice changer and turns it on, "But it really was the best choice for the movie."

Sam pants, the knife still inside her, before shouting, "This isn't a fucking movie!"

"No. But it will be," He says with his normal voice. He turns his head to Amber, "That's the point, right Amber?"

"Right, hon!" Amber cheerily replies, "Third act bloodbath, check. Killers revealed, check. Time for the big finale!"

"Hon?" Sam questions, knowing she was Tara's girlfriend and Richie was her boyfriend. They both got played. She begins to wonder if Tara knows. Sam tries to plead, "Richie..."

He shushes her before ripping the knife out of her, "Okay, okay." She falls forward as Richie holds her up.

"Let's get them into the kitchen," Amber states. She pulls Sidney up by her hair, "Let's go, bitch!"

Richie begins pulling Sam toward the kitchen while shouting, "Someone has to save the franchise. You see, no one has made a great Stab movie since the first one."

Amber thrusts Sidney into the corner of the kitchen, pointing the gun at her still. Richie throws Sam into the other corner.

"Not really," He states as Amber hops up and down with anticipation, "Hey, baby, you wanna go get the very ex-Mrs. Riley?"

"Yeah, I do," Amber smiles as she walks out of the kitchen. Sidney makes a move but Richie has Amber's gun and the knife used to stab Sam.

Meanwhile, Tara quietly slips down the stairs after Amber leaves to get Gale. She tiptoes into the living room and looks for Eliza. She finds both her and Mindy, passed out.

"Eliza, Eliza, wake up. Please, wake up," She whispers as she awkwardly clobbers to the ground. She shakes the girl whose face is cut up with glass. Her arms are stained with dry blood, but her abdomen is still slowly bleeding from the stab wounds that Amber inflicted upon her.

"Hmm?" Eliza wakes up, finding Tara above her. It only takes her a few seconds to remember what happened. She leans up and hugs Tara, "Oh my, God. Is it over?"

"Not yet," Tara unfortunately says, "It's Amber and Richie."

"Richie? What the fuck?"

"I know," Tara sighs. She looks down, "They're a couple. Sam and I got cheated on."

Eliza looks down, "I'm sorry... but do you really wanna be with a killer anyways?"

This makes Tara perk up, "No, not really. You're right."

"You should get out of here, get help," Eliza suggests.

"I can't leave you and Sam," Tara shakes her head, "Especially not now."

"What do you mean?"

"Now that we can be together. I can't leave you here to die," Tara's eyes begin watering at the thought. Eliza places her hand on Tara's cheek, not afraid.
