Audrey pulled the display case open.
"You know half of them are fake right?"
She pulled out a gut hook and passed it to Natalie.
"Well half of them are not."
Emma still had her gun. Kieran got a hammer. Will got a small knife. Audrey grabbed a machete and gave Noah an axe.
"Oh nice."
He started to play with it and realised it was fake. He frowned. Audrey laughed and he grabbed a meat cleaver.
"We need to guard the doors and keep in touch."
"Here take my phone."
Noah gave Emma his phone.
"Thanks. You guys know you don't have to stay, right?"
"Are you kidding. This bitch is gonna be gutted."
Natalie scratched the air with her gut hook.
"We're with you."

...

"So...here we are."
"Here we are."
Noah and Natalie stood at the front doors of the theatre.
"I didn't realise how awful it was to lose someone...I knew Riley for a month and she died and I knew Zoe for a couple and now she's gone. I feel like crap and I'm so...I don't know, depressed...And you lost someone who you knew for over 10 years. I can't even think-"
"Noah..."
Noah looked at his sister.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I just don't want to think about it. When finding you, the killer sent me a video...of Jake dying. His last words were...I-I love you Nat, before being gutted like a pig. That's why I want to find who did this and gut them."
Noah nodded, agreeing to her.
"Well...All of us holded in a room, trying to trap the killer...I mean I think this is it. The grand finale."
Natalie rolled her eyes.
"If I'm gonna be stuck here, please don't start this. Please. I need you to guard this door with me."
"I'm just saying, if this was a movie. We would be at the unmasking stage."
"Well if it's you...I'll gut you with this gut hook."
Natalie said, blinking her eyes repeatedly while smiling.
"You know it's not me. But that's what the killer would say."
Natalie rolled her eyes at him. He chuckles.
"Okay I'm sorry. It's-it's not me...it's really not me."
Natalie leaned against the wall and giggled.

After a few minutes Noah started to talk again.
"Okay if Piper had an accomplice, that guy found another accomplice and now there working together."
"Okay Noah!"
"Sorry...but I'm just saying we should be prepared for anything."
The doors rocked and something banged against it.
Stavo was on the other side of the doors.
The two fosters looked at him.
"Are you just gonna stare at me or are you gonna let me in?"
Natalie looked at Noah.
"And why do you have a hook?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Seriously you asked me to come."
Natalie frowned and shook her head.
"What you did?"
"No I did not."
"Really? Then what the hell is this?"
He put his phone to the door screen.
It was a text from Natalie.
"I...I didn't send that. I did not send that text."
"Can you just let me in."
"Don't let him in."
"What?"
Natalie looked at Noah. She quickly checked her pockets.
"Guys...my phones gone."
"Wait what?"
"I'm letting him in."
"No your not!"
"Dude!"
Natalie looked at Stavo.
"I'm sorry."
Stavo punched the door glass and walked away.
All of a sudden a girls scream is heard behind them.
"What the hell?"
They ran into the auditoriom.
"Oh my god."
"What is this? Who put this on!"
Natalie yelled.
A video of there friends, everyone they knew being killed started to play on the projector.
"This isn't a movie. This is real."
"It's coming from the projection room. Somebody must be up there."
"Where's Will and Audrey?"
"Audrey is guarding the door."
Emma said.
"Wills guarding a door too. How did they get in?"
"I don't know."
"I'm gonna go get Audrey and Will. They shouldn't be here alone."
Kieran ran past Emma.
"No...oh god."
Natalie saw the screen as Jakes death played.
"NO! I LOVE YOU NAT-"
She swung around and shook her head.
"I can't do this...not again."
"Okay I'm gonna go turn it off."
Noah shook his head.
"Okay im gonna turn it off. Stay here."
As Emma went up. Natalie looked back at screen. She saw people die over and over and then it turned off.
"Noah!"
It went pitch black.
"Natalie!"
"Turn on your flashlight. I don't have my phone!"
Natalie saw Noahs flashlight turn on. He moved it around and saw the killer standing behind Natalie.
"Nat move!"
She turned and screamed. She ran and her arm was cut. She kept running to Noah and the knife flew, going into Noah's hip.
He screamed. Emma came running in. She raised her gun and shot over and over at the killer and he ran. Noah was sitting on the floor.
Natalie looked at it.
"Don't take it out. Oh god Noah!"
Kieran came running called the police.
"I couldn't find them!"
Kieran came down.
"Keep pressure around the knife. Do not pull it out."
"You two have to go. The police are coming."
Kieran said the Emma.
"Yeah..."
"No. Noah I can't-"
"Nat...Go. I'm fine."
Natalie kissed her brothers forehead and got up. Emma and her ran out back. They got to Natalies car and got in.
"Oh god. I just left my brother."
"He'll be fine."
"He didn't look fine."
"We need to find Audrey and Will."
Emma got a text.
-Time to face the mask. Come alone with Natalie or they die.
A picture was in the background of Audrey and Will, tied up in seperate chairs.
"Oh god."
"Wait face the mask...the children's place, where we found Brooke and Piper."
"Oh yeah...let's go."
"You drive. I need to check this."
Natalie took her hand off her cut.
"Oh Nat."
It poured blood.
"I know he cut deep. Just drive...Audrey and Will are danger."
"Okay."
Emma started the car as Natalie got the first aid kit from the compartment in front of her. As Emma drove, Natalie was able to put a bandage over the cut and try to rub as much blood of her hands.
"Now...let's go get our friends back."
