Maya
All night I was thinking about it. All night I was thinking about him. All night I was thinking about everything that's happened. The loss of my friends' lives, the torture we've all been through,and the imprisoning of my 2 bestest friends in the world. If only I killed him when I had the chance...maybe we wouldn't be in this situation right now. All these thoughts are running through my head & I don't know how to stop it. The killer won. And there's nothing I could do about it now.
*PRISON ALARM GOES OFF*
What's happening. I heard footsteps coming towards my cell. Am I being set free. Then there that's when I saw who was coming, It wasn't a police & I expected it to be the killer...but it wasn't,maybe I don't know. The person was wearing all black & a ski-mask.
Me : What are you doing?!
He / She didn't answer.
Me : Who are you?!?!?
He didn't answer. All he/she did was open my jail cell & held out his or her hand.
Me : Why should I trust you
The person still didn't answer. All he did was nod his head yes. I didn't know whether to go or to sit here until the cops come. It was a risky choice,but I grabbed his hand & let him lead the way. I could already hear sirens coming from a distance. As I walked across the police station all I could see are knocked out people with tranquilizer darts in them. Thank goodness they weren't dead. Once we made it out he led me to a white van.
Me : Do I go in there ???
He nodded his head yes. I made it this far might as well go in. When I hopped in there I saw 2 faces in the back of the van that I was happy to see.
Me : Riley?! Farkle?!

Riley & Farkle : MAYA!

Me : *hugs them* I'm so glad to see you guys

Farkle : We're glad to see you too

Riley : Maya as happy as I am to see you I just have one question

Me : Yah?

Riley : Who's that guy in the front seat

Me : I don't know I thought you guys knew

Farkle : We don't know who this guy is either

Person in the front : It's not a guy who you should be worried about

We all looked at HER. She looked at us smiling. She lifted her hand up to her face & took off the ski-mask. I can't believe who I was seeing. I wanted to cry out tears of joy seeing this persons face again.
Me : Drew?! You're...you're alive

Drew : Surprise

Riley : How'd you even survive?

Drew : I'll explain everything later but for now we have to go before the cops get us

Farkle : Are you even old enough to drive yet?

Drew : Course I'm not. Tighten your seat-belts everyone it's gonna be a wild ride

She drove like a maniac. Lucky for us it was past midnight so there weren't any cars on the road to crash. I still have many questions to ask Drew. Like how did she make it out alive from the killers' stab in the gut. And where has she been hiding this whole time,and why didn't she keep in touch with us.
*PHONE RINGS*
Me : Who's phone was that?

Drew : Mine

Me : Oh

Drew : *answers phone on Bluetooth of car* Hello

Voice : Think you're that slick Drew

Drew : I'm sorry but who is this

Voice : I think you know

Me : It's the killer isn't it?!

Riley : It is. I recognize that disgusted piece of sh*t voice anywhere

Killer : Congratulations you've made it out of jail

Farkle : What do you want from us you've already won

Killer : The games not over until there's none of you left. And I won't stop until I get through with all of you...One by one

Drew : We're not afraid of you anymore you little b*tch

Me : We've beat you before & we've escaped from you as well and we can do it again. Me & my friends are out of jail which means you're loosing

Killer : *chuckles* There's a lot in store for all of you ta - ta *hangs up*

A lot in store? What does he mean by that. This must be it. The grand finale...today's the day the killer will finally finish all of us. Not unless we finish him first. Suddenly Drew stopped the van. She hit the breaks so hard I bumped the back of my head on the van. We arrived at an old abandoned house.
Farkle : Um? Drew where are we?

Drew : We're at the place where we're going to plan everything we need to stop the killer before he stops us

Me : Should we be worried

Drew : Just come on in

We all got out of the van & started walking towards the house until we made it to the front door.
Riley : I have a bad feeling about this
Drew grabbed the door knob of the house and pushed it foward as it began to open. The inside of this house was waaaay nicer than the outside of it. There was a couch, a Tv, a kitchen, 2 rooms, and a bathroom. Sure it's all a bit rusty but it's still a pretty sight.
Me : Is this where you've been staying this whole time

Drew : Yup & I've got company

Farkle : Who?

Voice behind kitchen counter : Yours truly

The person that was behind the kitchen counter slowly rose up & stood. We can't believe who it was. At first I thought I was seeing things but no. It was actually her.
Missy : Shocked to see me

Riley : Missy Bradford? You've been helping Drew

Missy : Yep. And we've gotten everything mapped out

Drew : She's been a really good friend to me these past couple days

Me : Since when do you help people other than yourself

Missy : Ever since I got a phone call from the killer the other day. He told me that he was going to finish me off so I ran as far as I could away from my home & into this abounded house in the woods

Me : Wow

Drew : So guys here's the plan. Today's the day the killer is going to be done & gone and this is how we're going to do it

After 6 minutes or so Drew explained the whole plan & said that we needed an extra member to help us. I told her that I had just the person to fill in that empty spot.
Me : Thank you so much for coming espesially since this is a life or death situation

Josh : No problem. I'd do anything for you no matter how dangerous or risky it is

Drew : Ok so everyone knows what they're going to do right

Me : Right

Riley : Yes

Farkle : Yah

Missy : Right

Josh : Affirmative

Drew : And Incase this is the last time we all get to see each other together I just want to say that you guys are the most amazing friends & probably only real friends I've had in a really long time

Me : Awwwww

We all huddled up for a last group hug before we went into action. The plan was to try and lower the killer into a trap. Once we have him captured we call the police. But the killers smart so it didn't sound as easy as it did. Josh stayed outside to guard the house since he was like the muscle. Missy was in charge of signaling us Incase the killer came. Drew,Farkle,and Riley were in charge of the trap. And I...
I was the bait.

Josh
The stars in the sky lighted up the dark night sky. This is one of the most riskiest things I've ever done. I hope by the time this is over everything would be back to the way it used to be. And maybe I'll finally tell Maya how I feel about her. The age difference doesn't matter to me as much as it used to anymore. Just wish it wouldn't have take this long to do so. I was standing not so far from the front door of the house. I was beside my car Incase I needed to run over the b*tch. But he didn't seem to be coming.
*PHONE BEEPS*

All of a sudden my hands stopped moving. My phone fell out of my palms & landed flat on the ground. My back was in pain & even tho I didn't see what happened I knew what it was. Right then I fell on my back & lay there not knowing whether how long I had to live.
Killer : You dropped your phone

Me : You won't get away with this *coughs*

Killer : Oh *takes off mask* I already have

Me : Oh my god

Killer : *puts mask back on* sweet dreams

Josh lay there in shock. He wasn't dead but he was about to be. Now that he knows the killers' identity he really didn't have any chance of living. With one raise of the arm,with a knife in his hand,the killer sliced Josh's throat open & walked away. Blood was dripping out of him as he lay there lifeless.
*MEANWHILE BACK WITH MAYA*
Maya sat there in her position. Waiting to here a signal. But she mostly wondered why Josh wasn't texted her back ( shocker Ik ).
Maya : Why won't he answer
*HER PHONE RINGS*
She didn't want to take the call. Because she knew who it was. And the thoughts running through her mind made here eyes start to tear up.
Maya : *answers phone* What'd did you do to him?!

Killer : Oh what's wrong Maya. Are you mad that your relationships don't always work out?

Maya : WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!

Killer : Why don't you take a look for yourself *hangs up*

She got up from the couch & ran towards the front door. With all of her might,she kicked the door open and ran to Josh who was lying dead on the ground. Maya's eyes began to water up. Tears ran through her eyes as she knelt down beside him.

Maya
Me : Why didn't I just leave you home *sobs*
WHY AM I SO STUPID!?!?!
I immediately called Riley & told her the news. We both cried our eyes out through the phone.
Me : *on the phone* Riley you have to tell Drew to call Missy & see if she's ok we have to make sure we don't loose anyone else

Riley : *sniffs* Ok *cries* I'll do it

She hung up. I looked at the car Josh rode on the way here & saw something on the window. It was a note. It said :
Hope you like this little present I left for you guys. I'm sure Lucas' would be happy.
I tore the note into pieces & opened the car door.
Me : OH MY GOD!
There was a dead person in our car. Not just any dead person. It was Zay....! Lucas' best friend from Texas. I started crying more than I already was. We lost another of our closest friends. And now it's all coming down.
*PHONE RINGS*
Me : *sniffs* Hello?

Drew : Maya... *cries*

Me : What happened....?!

Drew : Missy...she's *sniffs* she's gone

Me : What?!

Drew : Yah *sobs* when I called her the killer answered & told me that she put *sniffs* Missy out of her misery...& then he sent me a picture of Missy's head with blood stained all over her face *cries

Me : Oh my god

Drew : Maya we're coming over right now please don't go ANYWHERE LISTEN TO ME DO NOT GO ANYWHERE! Go in the house & lock the doors & all the windows. We'll be there as fast as we can.

Me : Ok

Drew : We're on our way *hangs up*

I hung up & put my phone in my pocket. I looked at Josh one last time & started walking towards the house. But as I headed towards the door. Someone got in my way & was standing at the front of the door. Someone that I once fought with no fear but now do not want to come near him.
Killer : Going somewhere?

Me : Get away from me

Killer : Oh Maya. You should've just stayed in jail

He raised the knife in his hand & started running towards me. I was almost scared to death. I started running away from him & into the woods where I'd be sure to loose him. Running as fast as I could I made it past trees & rocks & made it to a small wooden bridge with water around if. I turned around & saw the killer right there across from me from the other end of the bridge.
Me : What are you waiting for. Finish me off already!!!!

Killer : Oh trust me I will

He started to walk closer & closer very slowly.
Me : WELL COME AT ME THEN!!!
The killer stopped.
Me : I'll let you kill me with no struggle only if you take off that stupid MASK & ADMIT TO ME WHO YOU ARE

Killer : Very well

With one hand he held a knife. And with the other he put his hand on the mask & slowly started to take it off. I was in suspense. Finally I'm going to know who is responsible for all the murders that have been going on. And with that final pull the killer took off the mask & dropped it on the floor. My eyes flew wide open. My mouth dropped to the ground in shock. The killer wasn't a him as I suspected it was...
Me : Oh my god

Missy : Thought you've seen the last of me didn't you you little b*tch

Me : I...I can't believe it.. But but you're dead

Missy : It's called makeup Maya ever heard of it

Me : So all this time you were helping Drew try and stop the killer...it was all just part of some game of yours

Missy : In a word...yes

Me : WHY MISSY! WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU KILL ALL OF THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CARED ABOUT

Missy : Because Maya it's called justice. Those people used to tease me,make fun of me,laugh at me,and tell me I didn't belong. When we went into middle school it all just stopped at least that's what I thought. Turns out the same people that used to do all that stuff to me still used to talk sh*t behind my back & I've been getting notes telling me to kill myself ect ect. It's amazing where all these years of holding in anger can get you too.

Me : But What about LUCAS?! JOSH?! ZAY?! They never did anything to you.

Missy : Lucas & Josh spoiled my plans of getting rid of you & Zay was just a free bee. So was Darby. And now it's time to get rid of you and the others

Me : I don't think so b*tch

Missy : I thought you were going to make this easy,but I guess not. Hope you have a nice way down to hell

She started running towards me with the knife in her hand. When she tried to stab me in the head I grabbed her hand & pushed her to the floor. But she dragged me down with her. I was on top which gave me a better advantage,but she had a knife so I had to be careful. Missy kicked me in the gut & I landed on my back.
Missy : Don't make this hard for yourself Maya. It's all ending now
She got on top of me & looked me right in the eye.
Missy : It's been fun

Just like that, Missy rose the knife she had in her hand & stabbed Maya in the stomach as hard as she could. Seconds later Maya said her last words
Maya : Go to hell
There now she lies on the floor after getting a knife jabbed in her stomach.
Riley : MAYA?! WHERE ARE YOU
Missy heard Riley,Drew,and Farkle calling out for Maya. Their shouts seemed to be getting closer & closer. Few moments later they arrived at the scene.
Riley : OH MY GOD! MAYA

Drew : NO NO NO NO

Farkle : This can't be happening

Missy : *turns around* Oh but it is & soon you 3 are going to join her

Drew : *sniffs* Missy?! You...You're the killer ?!?! But you're dead

Missy : It's called make up AKA fake blood. You guys were all stupid enough to trust me! You guys were stupid enough to trust anyone knowing there's a killer on the loose

Drew : You pretended to help me! You pretended to be my friend!

Missy : Yah but I don't care because Maya's dead now & you 2,Farkle & Riley,are still being traced down by the cops...so I guess I win & I will get away with all of this

Riley , Farkle , and Drew's faces went from a sad expression to a smiling expression. Missy was confused. She didn't know why they were smiling considering she just won the game.
Missy : Why are you guys smiling?! You lost!!!

Voice behind Missy : Oh but you didn't

Missy : No.... *turns around*

Maya : Surprise

And with the Patel she found on a small boat she whacked Missy on the head and let her fall to the ground unconscious.
Maya : Great minds think a like right Drew
She unzipped her jacket & under it she was wearing a body armor undershirt. The same thing Drew used to stay alive when Missy stabbed her back at the warehouse.
All of them got in a group hug & after that they called the police to take Missy away to jail & all of their problems away. They all went home after that. Now that the killer was in jail they all felt safe after a long time. But that night after the police left the scene someone went back to the scene of the crime. There the person picked up the mask that was worn by Missy & decided to take it as his / her own. Maybe the kills aren't over ... Maybe
they're just getting started.
