The Cabin In The Woods

chapter fifteen

A few more people were invited to the party, such as Andy's siblings, Candy and Oscar and a few more people that heard about the party and just showed up. Zachary sat at the kitchen table and waited for the text from Tessa saying that Sawyer was almost home. Tessa was the one to pick Sawyer up from the police department. Zachary's phone then vibrated in his pocket.

Tessa; We're pulling up now.

"Guys! Hide, they're here!" Zachary yells to the guests and turns off the light as everyone ran to hide. They heard the clatter of keys and Tessa's faint voice on the other side of the door. The door slowly opened and Zachary flipped on the light, everyone yelled "Welcome Home!" in unison and Sawyer laughed.

"Oh my god. You guys almost gave me a heart attack." Sawyer laughed and Jacelyn tackled him in a hug. Zachary hugged him next, then Lucy, then Pheobe. Tessa grinned at Zachary and he grinned back.

"Guys, this is awesome." Sawyer smiled and Andy suddenly walked up to him.

"Hey, I'm Andy Attkins. I've heard alot about you." Andy grinned.

"Sawyer Mcminn." Sawyer shook Andy's hand and looked at Zachary.

"Did you plan this?" Sawyer asks him.

"It was Pheobe's idea." Zachary says.

"I've never had a surprise party before. Thank you guys." Sawyer patted Pheobe on the back.

"I had a surprise party one time, I peed my pants." Zachary says laughing.

"Hey! Who wants music?" Tessa yells over the noise, everyone cheers and loud pop music blared through the house. Then, the blinders walked up to Sawyer.

"Glad to have you back, man." Ryan says and hands Sawyer a cup.

"What's this?" Sawyer asks

"Water." Ryan shrugs. Sawyer takes a sip and immediately coughs and spits it out.

"That's definitely not water." Sawyer says and scoffs.

"Did you bring alcohol?" Jacelyn asks

"Nah, someone put a bottle beside the mailbox." Ryan says

"And you drank it?" Lucy asks

"What else would we do?" Chase asks

"Poor it out maybe?" Zachary says

"Where's Lizzy? I haven't seen her since I got here." Sawyer asks, he was looking through the crowd for a sight of the familiar girl. Everyone immediately stopped talking.

"You don't know?" Jacelyn asks

"I've been in police custody, I don't know anything that's happened for the past three days." Sawyer says with a laugh but immediately goes serious when he sees everyone's faces. "What happened?"

"Let's go somewhere quieter." Zachary suggest and him, Pheobe, and Sawyer walk outside, while the others wander off.

"Wanna tell me what's going on?" Sawyer asks

"Lizzy was...she was murdered two days ago during the talent show." Pheobe says uncomfortably.

"What? The Blinders don't seem very upset." Sawyer says, his face read utter shock but his voices sounded calm.

"Yeah, it's odd. Either they're really good at hiding emotions or they didn't care for Lizzy." Zachary says

"You don't think they could be behind all this do you?" Pheobe asks

"I don't know, why would someone kill their own sister?" Zachary asks

"If they're murderers it won't matter who they kill, they just like the joy of killing someone." Sawyer says

"Alright, come on future Jeffrey Dahmer let's forget about all this for a night and enjoy the party." Zachary says, Sawyer nods and the three walk back inside.
