(Tatum POV)
I was currently walking to school and I saw news vans and police cars everywhere and I couldn't help but think that something was going on. I ignored everything around and focused on my way inside the school, but what bothered me was that I heard whispers of someone being attacked. I had a feeling of what was happening but I didn't want to voice my concerns until it was confirmed. I heard someone coming towards me with my new senses and when I used my scent I relaxed when I knew who it was.

"Hey, did you hear the news ?" Wes asked approaching Tatum.

"No. I have a feeling about what's happening. I just hope I'm wrong." Tatum answered.

"Tara was attacked last night." Wes said with worry.

I looked at him with a surprised look, of all things I didn't expect to hear that. Me and Tara used to be best friends when we were younger because Tara's older sister Sam used to babysit us together. But when Sam started acting out she lost her babysitting privileges, despite that I gave Tara all the support she needed and tried to be there for her. Five years ago, Sam left Woodsboro, Tara was distant and despite my attempts to help her she wanted to be left alone. We grew apart in the last year of Middle School and went our separate ways in Freshman Year.

During that time, Tara got into the popular crowd while I was being belittled and bullied for my smarts and personality. All those times I got beaten on, pushed around, or teased, Tara never helped me. Either she shook her head and walked away, stood there and watched, or laughed with the other students. To hear that she was attacked was a big shock. I squinted my eyes as I looked at Wes.

"Do they know who did it ?" I asked but deep down I felt like I knew the answer. Wes took a deep breath and looked at me.

"My mother planned on telling you and your Dad but Tara said that it was a guy in Ghostface mask." Wes said.

I tried my hardest to feel scared but I wasn't doing a good job. Ghostface had returned to wreak havoc and cause mayhem. The madness that killed my aunt and caused misery in my family's life but now I know I was going to get involved.

"What now ?" I asked him.

"Now we're going to be called in to be asked about Tara. Let's get ready for it. Oh, and one more thing. I know you're always calm but with your powers evolving we don't know what could happen. See you around." Wes told me and he walked away.

Recently, I found out that I was going evolve with my powers and that it was going to happen more than once. I predicted that it was going to happen at least three or four times but I wasn't sure.

Wes had me do a pose despite my reluctance, and my powers still work the same way despite my change in appearance. The day went by like a usual school day but before lunch time came it was time for me to be questioned. I told them everything I could, me and Tara's former friendship, how much I was bullied and she never helped me. They asked me if I wanted to get back at her, (which was very direct in my opinion) but I told them that despite not liking how I was being treated I wouldn't take things that far. I knew that revenge was never the right solution to go for. Once I was released from questioning I went to speak to Judy.
