Scream 5: A Whole New Stab

The Blame Game

Date: October 2, 2016
Time: 10:49 A.M.
POV: Bree

It's the day of Gunner's funeral. The whole school is here. I haven't felt my heart beat ever since I watched Gunner being gutted by one of my classmates. As I was watching Gunner in deep sleep, in his semi-closed casket, Laurie and Buffy walked up to me. We were all wearing the same thing. We got matching all black clothes for any occasion. "Bree, I'm... sorry." "Laurie," I looked at her. "You don't have to be sorry. You didn't know that was gonna happen. If anything, I'm the sorry one. If only I took him to your house with me." Buffy and Laurie both hugged me hard for a few minutes with light tears flowing down our cheeks. I had to end this hug. It was just making everything more sad. "So Laurie," Buffy has not said a word for the last 4 days. She dated Gunner right before I went out with him. "You never told us what happened to your leg." Laurie wiped away her tears. "Oh yeah." After she told us about the phone call, there's when she got to the interesting part. "So he creeped me out with what he said. And I started running. You guys know that big hedge that isolates me from my neighbor right? Well as I was running, I heard rustling from the other side of the hedge. When I got to my yard, he jumped from the end of the hedge and he tried to cut my face, but I ducked. As he missed, he fell and ended up accidently stabbing himself in the shoulder. I ran to my porch yelling for my dad to let me in. But he wasn't there, cause the garage door was open, and the car was gone. When I was trying to unlock the door, he got up on his feet and started to slowly walk towards me. I managed to lock myself inside, but he used the doggy door to slice my thigh. He cut it so bad, I can't walk right. So that's when I ended up calling for your help." Laurie showed us her cast. "Well, I need to go." Laurie limped away. Soon after, Violet, Felix, Andy, Brooke, Gretchen and Louis walked over to Buffy and I. "Hi guys." Buffy greeted them, but I just didn't want to see anyone. "So Bree, we were listening in on what happened to Laurie." Felix started his theory on who he thought done it. "I just think it's crazy how she's only limping. And how he didn't pop an artery." I glared at him. "What are you trying to say, Felix?" He knew he was making me mad. "I'm saying, how did the killer know she was gonna distract you from Gunner? And she refused to help us find the killer. She has to be one of the killers." Buffy got into it. "Laurie is too nice. She can't possibly be doing this." "Doing what?" We all looked behind me to see Laurie back with a plate of cake. "How are we so sure you aren't the killer, Felix? You're the first one to throw around guesses. " "You don't think of him like that, you bitch!" Violet yelled at her. Her boyfriend, Louis shouted at her."Violet! Calm down!" "What about you, Louis?" Bree jumped in. "This whole time, you haven't been into this nonsense."
"I haven't been into it? What about Gratchen? She's totally floating by." Gretchen swiftly turned towards Andy. "How about Andy? In Stab 4, a character like him lost his sister. And in Stab 6, he ended up being the killer." Andy got pissed. "Oh please, if Buffy doesn't die, she's the obvious killer." Buffy slowly turned in a circle and pointed towards Violet. "She has a better motive than all of us." Violet glared at Buffy then watched Brooke "Brooke is the killer cause everything was fine until she showed up. Brooke looked for the first person she seen. "What about Bree? The heroine as the murderer? No one would suspect that."
"Guys stop..." I said with anger. "We can't do this... or at least not at Gunner's funeral. And even if anyone of us is the killer, so what? Half of us are gonna end up dead anyway." Everyone was feeling guilty. "She's right." Felix said as he rested his hand on my shoulder. "It's too early to unmask the killer. But we cannot let this stupid fight tear us apart." We all went different ways. Except for Felix, who stayed next to Andy and Violet.

Time: 1:12 P.M.

Our family got home from the funeral a couple hours after the fight. The whole day felt like it lasted an eternity. I tried to walk straight to my room, but I stopped immediately to stare at the big dried up blood splotch on our kitchen floor. "It's a shame..." My 13 year-old brother, Brandon said. "The cops are all over our property. And it won't be the same in our house again. It sucks cause I was just starting to build a friendship with him." After I heard him, I gave him a big hug and walked straight to my room. My mother was walking down the stairs and just bumped into me, and ignored me. She was mad. Not because Gunner was murdered, but because i invited a boy into our house when I was alone. I lay on my bed, staring at my ceiling. I couldn't stop thinking about all the good times my friends and I had before all this crap happened. In May, Gunner and I won 'best couple' in the yearbook. Now he's being buried in a graveyard outside of town. Violet just joined our friend group and that was back when she was blonde. Gretchen and Xandir were full of happiness and love. Now they are just dead inside. Laurie and Buffy walked around the town singing 'Fancy'. Now they refuse to leave the house after 6 P.M. Andy still had his sister.
It wasn't long after I was crying when I got a phone call. "What?" "Hello, Bree. Have fun at the funeral?" I looked out my window to make sure he wasn't watching me. "Don't worry. I'm not watching you." He assured me. "I can't wait for my next big move, can you? If you were the killer, who would you kill as of now?" "Listen here, you freak. If you're gonna kill my friends, at least kill me first. I don't want to experience losing them all." The killer started to laugh. "Oh Bree, that's the whole point of saving you for the end. I'll spare you, but I'd have to rip your tongue off, so you can't tell anyone who I am. But I'm not gonna stop killing. This is how you all started to notice me. Now I'm warning you, my next act will be heartbreaking! I'll see you soon, Bree." He hung up leaving me wondering what he'll do next.
