As Stavo left the note, he got so sad that he had to leave Brook but he knew this was the only way to stop making her worry about him. He looked on the street and called for a taxi. "Where to?" asked the driver in an accent that referenced Brooklyn. "Uhh...1224 Lakewood Pointe Drive near Lakewood University." Stavo said with a tear rolling down his face. "Sheesh, that's a drive" the driver said as he peeled off the road. Stavo fell asleep seeing as it was only 1 A.M.. He woke up at around 3:45 A.M. from the vibration of his phone. He was getting a message. As he looked out the window, he saw the sign that welcomed everybody to Lakewood. He checked his phone and read a message from an unknown number.

  "Welcome back to Lakewood, Stavo. Really missed you. (;"

As Stavo read this, he questioned what it meant and how someone had gotten his number. Then another text came through that told him to stop the driver. Stavo disregarded it and let the driver keep going even though it weirded him out that someone knew Stavo was in the taxi. Then.....the phone rang.
*DING* *DING* As Stavo looked down, he knew it wasn't smart to answer but knew it needed to be done. "Hello?" said Stavo.
"Hello, Stavo. Miss me? I certainly missed you. As much as you think this will end, it never does. Now tell the driver to stop the car or see what happens next." said the killer with his raspy voice. Stavo hung up the phone and told the driver that he would just walk the rest of the way. The driver thought it was crazy but pulled over to let Stavo out. As Stavo bent down to pay the driver, he heard a weird slashing sound. Then...*BANG*. The back wheels exploded. The driver jumped out of the car to see what was happening. Stavo started walking away and then the whole taxi exploded. The explosion shot the driver back about 8 feet and made Stavo fall down. All the pieces of the car started flying down to the ground until the steering wheel came down and knocked Stavo out cold. The driver wasn't as lucky. As he looked up, he saw that mask. That damn mask that shocked fear into the Lakewood Six. But because the driver was from New York, he didn't know what it was. As the killer came over to the driver, they dragged him to a tree with a rope. They tied the rope around the driver and strung him up to the tree with his whole front side of his body facing the ground so it looked like he was laying down in the air. As the driver started screaming for help, the killer slit his throat so that blood started leaking out. The driver couldn't do anything. All of his blood just kept pouring out. It was about 3 hours before Stavo woke up with a killer headache. As he looked around, he saw the exploded car. He started walking away and off onto the side of the road when, all of the sudden, something dripped on him. He wiped it away until he noticed that it wasn't just water or dew. But instead, blood. He looked up to see the drivers cold, dead corpse with blood leaking out of it. As Stavo gasped, he noticed there was something attached to the driver's head but he couldn't read it from all the way on the ground. He tried to see if he could climb the tree but he couldn't with the branches being so unstable. He looked around until he saw that there was a knife stuck in one of the wheels that was still attached to the exploded car. He ran over and grabbed it and started cutting down the rope. The body flew straight down before Stavo had even realized it. It hit the ground and fell straight on a blade that the killer had strategically placed so that Stavo wouldn't notice. The body fell straight on it and it poked through the driver's heart and went through his back. Stavo saw this and almost threw up from all the blood. He looked over and grabbed the note. As he read it, it said, "Go back to your little friends, Stavo. See how well you'll survive this time". Stavo grabbed his bag and phone snd sprinted from the body. He knew that if he was caught next to a dead body that they would instantly think he did it. As Stavo kept running, he looked back and saw the killer. Holding a knife and wearing a bloodied poncho, they waved at Stavo. Stavo ran for his life and ducked into the woods to try to hide. It would only be so much more time before the killer came for him AND his friends.
