Chapter 1
The light switched on and the television came to life. The two girls plopped down on the couch. The girl on the left, she had blonde hair and brown eyes. She twirled her hair around her index finger as they watched the horror movie that was on screen. The girl on the right, she had black, curly hair and dark green eyes. She stared in boredom. The girl on screen screamed as the girl started crawling out of the television screen. Immediately after, the screen went to a commercial. The black haired girl rolled her eyes.
"Do they really have to cut away from a death scene? I mean, I could understand if it was like an Eli Roth film or something, but The Ring? All it really is a stupid fucked up face!" she argued.
The blonde girl looked over at her and said, "Well maybe because it is on TBS. They would probably think that little kids are watching and they don't wanna scare them too badly." She giggled.
The black haired girl raised her voice saying, "Molly! It is almost two in the morning! If the kids are awake, then they are probably trying to watch the soft core porn provided by Cinemax!"
Molly giggled and replied, "Well, then maybe they are too scared or something. I don't know. I want to watch another movie though." She got up off the couch and pranced over to the stack of DVDs on the coffee table. She grabbed them and pranced back over. She sat down and laid the DVDs out. She continued, "Which one, Hailey? We have Texas Chainsaw Massacre—." Hailey shot her a look and asked, "Which one?"
Molly continued, "Remake?"
Hailey's eyes widened and she screamed, "Don't get me started on stupid fucking Platinum Dunes and that piece of shit Michael Bay! I mean, trashing Friday the 13th like that? What the fuck!"
Molly quickly threw the DVD across the room and continued, "Ok! Sorry! Then there is still SAW, The Grudge, and, my favorite, Stab 7!"
"What the fuck? Hell no to the torture porn, and no stupid ass pale girl. But really? Stab 7? I mean, I could see that you would like Stab or Stab 2, but after that, they just turned to shit." Hailey commented.
Molly frowned and retorted, "But Stab 7 was amazing! I mean the amount of gore, the awesome acting down by Danielle Panabaker, and the fascinating plot. It was just fantastic."
Hailey rolled her eyes and said, "Danielle Panabaker? The queen of remakes right now? I admit, she was the only good part of the horrible Friday the 13th remake and she was good in Mr. Brooks, but why did she do the Crazies? The movie was good don't get me wrong, but she could be a leading lady, instead she ALWAYS wants to get killed. I don't get it. I wouldn't want to be killed in every single movie that I was in."
"Well, maybe she just likes not having all the pressure on her shoulders." Molly shrugged and walked back over to the DVD stack. The home phone rang. They both glanced over to the phone. Molly walked over and picked it up.
She asked, "Hello?"
"Hello." The creepy, mysterious voice intrigued and somewhat frightened her.
She waited a second and finally asked, "Who is this?"
"Who is this?" The voice asked.
"Well, who are you trying to call?" she asked.
The voice paused and said, "I think I may have the wrong number. But since I am talking to you, how are you?"
Molly looked down at the phone. Why would he want to talk to her? She continued anyways saying, "I'm fine? I'm trying to have fun with my friend so if you don't excuse me…"
The voice interrupted saying, "You mean Hailey?"
Molly's expression changed dramatically. Who was this? Now the conversation was beginning to frighten her. She asked, "How do you know her name?"
The person didn't answer. All she could hear was breathing. The person finally asked, "Do you want to die tonight, Molly?"
She looked around and hung up the phone. She ran to the window and peered outside. Hailey noticed her and asked, "Who was it?"
"Some psycho. We need to leave now." She said. She grabbed her keys from the counter and started to the door. Hailey was right behind her. Molly grabbed the door handle and flung the door open. They screamed as a person jumped out from the bushes that were planted beside the door. The girl stood there, laughing hysterically.
Molly and Hailey glared at the girl.
Molly screamed, "Jennifer! What the fuck are you doing? Were you making those phone calls?"
Jennifer nodded, still laughing.
Molly smacked Jennifer across the arm and walked back to the living room.
Hailey said, "She is really pissed at you. She thought you were someone that was actually threatening her."
Jennifer stopped laughing and replied, "Well, I am sorry. I was just trying to play a prank on her."
"Don't tell me, tell her."
They walked inside the house and into the living room. Molly was sitting on the couch, staring at the ground. Jennifer walked over to her and said, "I am sorry. I wasn't meaning to scare you. It was a prank."
"Well it wasn't very funny. You know what happened in Woodsboro! Why would anyone do that in this town?"
Jennifer just shrugged her shoulders. She wrapped her arms around Molly. Molly smiled and returned the hug.
"Oh goody, the two girls made up!" Hailey said sarcastically.
Molly and Jennifer both laughed at her. Hailey sat down on the couch as they all stared at the television screen. The Ring was back on and the girl was crawling out of the screen. The phone rang. Molly got up grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello."
"Who is this?"
"Who is this?"
Molly looked over at Jennifer who was staring at the screen. Who was this?
"I don't have time for this. Tell me who you are or I'm hanging up." She said.
The person said, "Nice kitchen. I like the knives on the left counter."
Her eyes widened and she looked around. She hung up the phone and asked, "Jenn, did you tell anyone else to call the house?"
Jennifer looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She replied, "Nope. Why?"
"Someone can see us." She answered.
Hailey and Jennifer jumped up and looked out the window. The darkness covered anyone that would be outside. A thump scared them all. All three girls looked up. The noise came from upstairs. Another thump. Molly got up and started walking towards the stairs.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Hailey asked.
"I have to know what is going on," she replied.
Jennifer called, "Then someone needs to go with you."
"I will go. That way when I save your ass, you will have to pay me back for all of your life." Hailey stated. She got up and walked over to Hailey. Jennifer got up and ran into the kitchen. She grabbed a knife and looked around. Hailey and Jennifer walked up the steps slowly and hesitantly. They walked into Molly's bedroom. Molly turned on the light and looked around. No one.
A scream came from downstairs. Molly and Hailey ran to the stairs and called down, "Jennifer? Are you ok?" There was no answer. They timidly paced downstairs. They walked into the kitchen. They screamed as Jennifer lay on the counter, her throat gushing blood. She had a stab wound in her chest. Blood covered most of the counter and some of the floor around her. The killer popped up from behind the counter. The killer was wielding a large hunting knife. Blood covered the blade. The killer wore a long black cloak and a large ghost mask.
The girls screamed and ran towards the door. Ghostface ran from behind the counter towards them. Hailey twisted the door knob, but it was locked. She looked behind her and Ghostface was entering the entryway. Hailey and Molly ran up the stairs. Ghostface grabbed Molly by the hair and pulled her towards him. He shoved the knife into her back. She gave an ear-splitting scream. He yanked the blade out of her back and shoved it back in. He did that repeatedly before throwing her over the railing. She slammed down onto a table in the hallway. The table broke. Molly's body grew limp.
Hailey didn't stop. She ran down the hallway into the backroom. She slammed the door and locked it. She looked around for a way out. She ran to the window and unlocked it. The blade was stabbed through the door. Hailey screamed. She pulled the window upward and climbed out. She looked around, trying to find anyone to help her. But why would anyone be out in the middle of nowhere? She turned back around and Ghostface stood there. He sliced her leg. She screamed and fell backwards off the roof.
She splashed into the pool, falling all the way to the bottom. She floated back to the top and took a breath. She looked up and didn't see him. She quickly climbed out of the pool. The back door opened and the killer walked out. He stood in the porch light staring at Hailey. She had only one thought, she had to run. She ran into the corn crops behind her house. She ran through the crops, glancing back each time to see if he was following her.
Hailey stopped in the middle. She listened for the person. The sound of silence was all she heard. The moon was her only light. She heard a car coming her way. Her heart lifted. There was hope. She may not die tonight! She ran in the direction of the car, running as fast as she could. She was almost sprinting. Hailey came to the edge of the corn crops and looked at the car coming towards her. She smiled. Pain shot through her back. A hand wrapped around her mouth as the blade went deeper into her lower back. Her muffled shrieks and cries for help couldn't escape the hand. The car was only a few feet away. Ghostface shoved her out into the road. The car hit her and blood splattered across the road. Hailey lay a couple feet from where the car had stopped, lying in her own blood, lifeless.
