Chapter 1 - A New Contact

"Kids, are you sure you'll be alright?" Mark asked when he put on his jacket.

Layla, being the oldest out of the two, rolls her eyes at Mark's question. Mark still babied them around and was overprotective over them which made Layla somewhat annoyed.

"Yes, Dad. We'll be fine," Layla states as she gets up off the couch, walks towards the door, and is about to close the door before stating, "You guys just go have fun, alright? You guys need this night."

Sidney smiles before nodding at Mark, indicating they should probably go. Mark sighs and kisses Layla on the head.

"Remember-"

"Dad, save it! We know. Don't answer the landline, don't answer the door for anyone, and don't walk out the house."

Mark smiles and nods.

"Damn right," Mark said as he held Sidney's hand, "We love you, kids!" Mark said before Layla shuts the door.

Tyler, being the quieter one out of the two, was in his room, writing music in his messy room. He looked over at his phone as it began to ring and picked it up, seeing who's contact it was. It was Gianna, his best friend since the fifth grade. He answers the phone almost immediately.

"Hey, Gigi. Everything okay?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I'm just wondering what I should wear on my date with Vinnie," she said.

Vinnie was Gianna's girlfriend. Tyler was supportive throughout their relationship. He smiled and Gianna knew for a fact he was smiling.

"Well... where is she taking you?" He asked.

"I think it's... oh! It's the local diner downtown," she stated.

Tyler slowly nodded his head as he listened.

"Cool. Well, it's probably something casual. Try to see if Layla is willing to help you because I'm writing music."

"Okay, have fun!" Gianna said before hanging up.

Tyler powers off his phone and goes back to writing his music. Not even a minute later, his phone rings again. Tyler groans and picks it up.

"Gianna, I said to go ask-"

"Oh, you sweet thing. This isn't Gianna," the eerie, deep voice said.

Tyler chuckles to himself. He knew what this was. This was a twelve year old kid who was using the Ghostface freak voice changer, at least that's what Tyler thought. Then Tyler thought of his friend, Scott. Scott was a big fan of Stab, just like Gianna except more. Scott was a senior who had a small crush on Tyler.

"Okay, Scott, what do you want?" Tyler teased.

"Oh, this isn't Scott," the voice stated.

"Then... who is this?" Tyler asked.

"The last person... who you will ever talk to."

Tyler immediately puts the call on speaker and texts Layla, stating the following words: "It's time. Call the cops." Tyler sighs and talks to the voice again.

"Well... aren't you full of jokes?" Tyler teased.

"Look at your window."

Tyler turns around as Ghostface breaks in by breaking the window with his body. Tyler screams and grabs the nearest object, his small desk light. He rips it by the cord and hits Ghostface with it as he tries to attack Tyler. Ghostface groans in pain before trying to stab Tyler, but misses and hits the chair.

He falls on the floor, pretty much giving Tyler an opportunity to run away accidentally. Tyler immediately runs towards his door before he hears Ghostface getting up and running towards him. Tyler tries to open the door and is able to, but is quickly stabbed by Ghostface on the leg. He screams in pain and forcefully rolls over by Ghostface. He grabbed Ghostface by the wrist, trying to defend himself from Ghostface stabbing his chest. He uses his free hand to punch Ghostface hard across the face.

Ghostface grunts in pain as Tyler gets up off the ground, limping towards the stairs as he sees the cops there. He smiles in relief as he is now limping down the stairs. He goes over to Layla as she hugs him.

"You alright, Ty?" Layla asked.

Tyler nods, but is growing tired. He is being sat down by the paramedics as they examine his leg. He groans in pain as he sees Sidney and Mark rushing in.

"Oh, my baby..." Sidney says under her breath before running over to Tyler.

She hugs him tightly and kisses his head, holding him close to her.

"It's okay... You guys are okay. Momma's got you," She said reassuringly.

Sidney grabs her phone, still holding Tyler close to her, and dials Gale. Gale immediately picks up the phone and Sidney doesn't give her an opportunity to let Gale speak.

"Gale, he's f*cking back."
