One Way Or Another (Scream 3) BillyxOCxStu

Chapter Two: "Somebody's watching me"

Mark brought me back to the police station, wanting me to basically tell him everything I could about the past two murder sprees. "So, we're thinking the killer might have some kind of connection to the movie."

"Makes sense I guess," I shrugged.

"From who you met today, does anyone stand out?" he asked, looking at me expectantly.

I thought for a moment before shrugging, "No, not really."

"I'm a little suspicious of Roman," he said and my eyes widened. "Just something about him, I have a bad feeling about."

I thought back to this afternoon, "I don't see it, but I guess I'm not the best judge of who the killer could be with my track record."

That got Mark to crack a smile and he shook his head. "Okay, we should probably let you get home now. I'll drive you."

"Thank you," I smiled, following him out to his car.

We pulled up to my house and I leaned over him awkwardly, typing in the code for my gate to open. "Sorry," I mumbled, feeling his breath on my neck.

"It's no problem," he chuckled. The gate closed behind the car and he drove up to my house. "Smart to have the security gate."

"Yeah, makes me sleep a little better," I chuckled. "Anyway, thanks for the ride. Let me know if there is anything else you need."

"Of course, have a good night, Hazel," he said with a friendly smile.

I got out, going to my front door and unlocking it, but watched to make sure he got out of the gate, and it closed behind him before going inside.

I turned on the lights as I went, kicking off my shoes and going to the kitchen. I pulled out some pasta salad and got a bowl of it, along with a drink before sitting down at the kitchen island. I fiddled with the spare scripts sitting there, some I wrote, some I was just reading for inspiration.

The phone started to ring and I grabbed it, not looking up from the script. "Hello?" I asked as I held it to my ear.

"Hello, Hazel," the gruff voice came through the phone, causing me to drop my fork and a cold chill run down my spine.

I took a deep breath, running my hand through my hair as I sat up straighter. "Who is this?" I asked, trying to figure out if it was my boys or not.

"I think you know better than to ask that, final girl," the voice said and I bit my lip. I can't tell if it's Billy.

"Well, it's been a while, I'm a little rusty," I said, getting up and walking towards the back door. "So, if you're calling, does that mean you can see me?"

"Maybe," he said and I could hear the smirk in his voice.

I unlocked the door, my hand freezing for a moment before I swung the door open, taking a couple steps onto the patio. Seeing the pool in the darkness reminded me of that night at Casey's giving me a feeling of dread.

"If you can see me, you know I'm outside. Why don't you drop the act and show yourself?"

He hummed in my ear, "In due time, darling."

"You're not them," I said, looking around.

He chuckled, "What makes you think that?"

"A gut feeling," I shrugged, walking further into the darkness. "If you were, you'd prove it to me."

A flash caught my attention, and it looked like it came from inside. I didn't turn towards it, not wanting him to know I noticed, or not sure if I was just seeing things.
