A/N: This story takes place after "Jus in Bellos" in Supernatural and is meant to also take place after Scream 3. This was posted in the Supernatural Forum, but now I'm bringing it over here where it might be noticed more. Friendly heads up, I only got as far as Scream 2 when I originally started this story 2 years ago. This of course is no longer the case as I've now seen both Scream 3 and 4. Consequently the story follows a different Scream 3 continuity where Sidney was still in college when Roman attacked and didn't move away to hide. In this story she still is in college. The charcters that Sidney hangs out with in this section of Horror Icons were made up since I didn't know who appeared in the third film originally. Hope you enjoy this first chapter. Any questions, comments, or criticisms are welcome so please review.
The Trickster walked into his home and slumped into his couch. Not that he was tired or anything; just really bored. He hadn't had any real excitement in a while; minus his last run in with Sam and Dean. He wondered if Sam finally got the message he was trying to convey where saving Dean was concerned. Knowing that stubborn Winchester, however, he won't give up till the last second has passed.
The lights to his house suddenly began to flicker on and off. The Trickster rolled his eyes and got up from his big comfy couch. This has got to be the twelfth visit from a demon he's received in only a week. Why can't these things do their own dirty work?
"Alright let's get this over with," he said in an uninterested tone. He heard a small giggle behind him and turned around to see an eight year old child with an enormous smile looking up at him.
"Hello, Lilith," The Trickster greeted casually. "What do you want?" He asked turning away from her to grab some beer from his refrigerator. His answer came in the form of a giggle followed by Lilith skipping towards him.
"You know what I want you silly Trickster," Lilith laughed while giving him a hug.
Sometimes the Trickster couldn't fathom that underneath the skin of a playful eight year old lurked the sadistic and murderous spirit of a demon. "Actually Lilith, I don't. If you'd care to enlighten me."
Lilith pulled back and hopped on top of the Trickster's table. "Well you see Trickster; everything I have thrown at Sam and Dean has failed. Even a horde of 30 or so demons failed to get the job done," Lilith explained while grabbing his bottle of beer and taking a sip of it. "Ahhh," she sighed then slid the bottle back to him and continued. "So after pouring over idea after idea and after executing God knows how many," Lilith stopped when she noticed the Trickster's raised eyebrow at her comment. "Ok fine. And after executing Devil knows how many…"
"The Devil actually exists?" The Trickster interrupted.
"Will you let me finish! Lilith yelled at the top of her voice. After a few seconds silence, Lilith plastered on her childish smile and continued. "After basically killing a lot of demons, who gave me bad ideas, it finally hit me. The only problem I faced was actually carrying out the idea since it's impossible for any demon to accomplish, so I came looking for you."
"Would it possibly kill you guys to do your own dirty work for once? I kind of have my own life to live here." The Trickster asked obviously annoyed.
Lilith naturally ignored his comment and went on with her story. "Anyway what I need you to do for me is quite simple. You see, some of the most powerful monsters in existence aren't even real. They're only movie icons and better yet no matter how many times they die they always come back again, again, and again. All you have to do is break the laws of nature and bring the monsters of my choosing to life, understood?" She asked nicely.
It was the Trickster's turn to laugh now. "As much as I dislike Sam and Dean for trying to kill me, no them equals no world, so sorry Lilith. Ain't gonna happen."
Lilith's smile vanished from her face and was replaced by an un-happy scowl.
"You do realize who you are saying no to, right?" She asked; hands tightening on the edge of the table.
"Yes I do. Now if you will just show yourself the way out I have other things to do tonight." The Trickster informed her guzzling down more beer.
As he swallowed more of the beverage the bottle shattered in his hands. "What the hell!" He shouted, but his voice stopped at the sight of Lilith. Her eyes had turned white and were focused intently on him. "Yes, Hell," She only said. Lilith flung the Trickster up on to a wall then crashed him into his big screen T.V. She carved a giant "L" into his stomach and his back then tossed him into his refrigerator.
Lilith started to spin the Trickster around and around and around before proceeding to ram him into the floor, then the ceiling, then the floor, then the ceiling, then the floor once again, before finally pinning him onto the table. The door to the Trickster's house flew open and then twenty or thirty stakes came flying inside the kitchen. Lilith caught one and held it to the Trickster's neck while the others hovered over his head.
"Let's try this again shall we?" Lilith said. "Now, bring THE MONSTERS TO LIFE!" She screamed so loudly that it actually broke some of the windows of the house. The Trickster had a nervous smile on his face and was sweating like there was no tomorrow. He could always just teleport out of the room...
"Don't even think about teleporting out of here," Lilith threatened pressing the stake further into his neck. "I found you once and I can do it again. You don't want to know what I do when I really get pissed off. I once tortured a poor, sweet, innocent virgin for 45 minutes. Her screams and pleads for mercy was music to my ears. Imagine how badly it'll be for you especially since you can't die under normal circumstances and I can essentially keep on torturing you forever, and ever, AND EVER," She threatened once more putting emphasis on the last "and ever".
The Trickster gulped and could have almost sworn that the stakes had gotten closer to him since Lilith summoned them into his house. His cocky demeanor had dropped entirely and the fear could be seen clearly in his eyes.
"Well when you… p-put it that way," He nervously laughed eyes still watching the stakes.
Lilith re-plastered her cheery eight year old smile. "That's a good boy," She said while still not removing the stake from the Trickster's neck.
Rules of the crossover
#1- The types of media have to be related in some way.
#2- One of the heroes is always in the dark about what he/she is dealing with.
#3…
Sidney starred at her screen unable to think of what to write next for her film class assignment. It was times like these that she really missed Randy. He'd be able to come up with the rules faster than you can say Carrie White. As she struggled to come up with a final rule the lights to the library cut off. Sidney began to scan her surroundings and spotted something moving in the dark.
"Hello," Sidney called out. "That's already a violation of one of the horror movie rules," she laughed to herself remembering the list.
Sidney cautiously stepped forward and checked the sections of the library. She felt cold. She saw the lights in one section of the library flickering on and off and walked to that section. Something was written on the wall. Sidney began to shake. Written on the wall in red paint were the words:
Do you want to die tonight?
Her cell phone then began to ring and it was an unknown number. Sidney's hand trembled slightly as she picked up her phone and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hello Sidney. Surprised to hear my voice again?" Ghost face asked with an evil chuckle.
"No. This can't be happening again!" She felt her heart begin to race. She can't deal with this again. Why can't here life just go back to normal for once.
"Oh, but it is Sidney. The killer ALWAYS comes back when you least expect it."
"Where are you?" Sidney asked with her voice trembling. She felt someone tap her on the shoulder and she slowly turned around.
"Surprise Sidney!" Ghost face shouted raising his knife.
"No!" Sidney screamed before delivering a roundhouse kick to Ghost face's chest. He grunted as he was knocked back. Sidney took the advantage to punch him twice in the face and then grabbed his arm and twisted it till he let go of the knife. Sidney pushed him onto the floor and was prepared to stab him when Ghost face rose up his hand to stop her.
"Sidney wait, wait! It's me!" Ghost face quickly revealed before pulling off his mask to show the face of Jack, AKA the biggest jerk on this entire campus. "Sidney. It was only supposed to be a joke. I didn't think you'd take it that far!" He says with annoyance in his voice while rubbing the black eye Sidney just gave him.
Sidney looked at him in disgust and kicked him in the face knocking him unconscious. "Ass-hole," She muttered while tossing the knife and walking out of the room. "Alright, I know you guys are out here. Joke's over." Several sorority girls came out of hiding at Sidney's announcement.
"I knew it," Sidney thought to herself. Jack had always wanted to get into the pants of Emma, the leader of the top sorority. He'd do anything for her.
"You immature bitch," Sidney cursed attempting to walk by Emma.
"What's the matter Sid? Didn't like our little prank?" She asked in a mocking tone. "You sounded like you had seen a ghost," She mocked again this time using a voice modifier.
That was the final straw for Sidney and she backhanded Emma across the face.
"You bitch! What the hell! ?" Emma shouted rubbing part of her face.
"Surprise," Sidney said calmly and exited the building. Ever since her third and last encounter with Ghostface she thought her hellish nightmare was finally over. But no matter how hard she tried she couldn't go back to the life she once knew. Everywhere she looked there seemed to be reporters at every turn and she was too frightened to answer her phone at times because she couldn't bear to hear his voice on the other end again. She needed something to take her mind off of all of this.
2 hours later
Sidney swallowed another shot of liquor and felt somewhat dizzy. She was usually able to hold down her liquor, but tonight she just felt awful. It probably had to do with the fact that she was trying to drink her problems away. She was about to down another shot when someone's hand grabbed her own.
"Ok Sidney. I think you've had enough," Sidney's best friend and roommate Meghan concluded placing the shot glass back on the counter.
"Hey girls. I found her." She announced to the girls Allison, Taryn,Anna, Amanda, Rebbecca, and Sarah who were also in Sidney's suite. "OK let's get you up." Meghan helped Sidney to her feet and supported her while they all walked out of the bar and back to campus.
"Hey, let's take the short cut here." Allison suggested. She was of course referring to the old abandoned parking garage that everybody in the school was convinced was haunted.
"You're teasing, right? Sidney said in a slightly slurred speech due to the alcohol.
"Oh come on Sidney. You aren't scared are you?" Taryn teased.
"We'll let you know her answer once she sobers up. Now are you guys coming with us or what?" Meghan asked.
"You girls go on ahead. We'll be right back. hahahaha," The two girls laughed as they vanished into the garage.
"Famous last words," Sidney managed to get out remembering Randy's rules, which were framed in all classes dealing with films after Ghostface's final act.
"Man can you believe Sidney of all people is scared of coming in here?" Allison asked.
"I know what you mean. How could anyone actually think this place is haunted?" Allison laughed as they continued their way through.
"Wait a minute. What's that?" Allison asked pointing out a strange object near the wall.
"It looks like some kind of an egg." Taryn observed. "Maybe one of the film majors made it and left it out here. It almost looks like an egg from the Alien franchise."
"That has to be one of the most classic franchises to date." Allison began entering her fan girl mode.
"Well the first three were, but what was up with Resurrection? It totally killed the tragic ending of the 3rd movie," Taryn criticized.
"Are you kidding me! The third movie was awful! Resurrection might not have been on par with Aliens, but at least it was a fun movie to watch."
"Are you serious! They actually cloned Ripley. That's the kind of thing a studio does when they are trying to milk a franchise and not because they have a good idea for a movie!"
As the two girls continued their war of words the Alien egg opened up. The face hugger slowly crawled out; its feet could be seen waving from the opening of the egg as it made its way out. The creature exited the egg and spotted the two girls and quickly crawled over to their position.
"Look out!" Allison tried to warn, but was too late. The face hugger launched itself out of the egg and wrapped itself around Taryn's neck. Taryn managed to grab the creature and kept it from her mouth, but couldn't get it off of her.
"Don't worry I'm going to get it off!" Allison shouted grabbing the alien and pulled hard to get it off. It refused to relinquish its grip. "Come on! Let go of her!"
"All- Alli-son. It's n-n-n- no go-good," Taryn barely managed to choke out.
"I'm not going to leave you!" Allison promised still struggling to get her free. As the two pulled Taryn spotted something moving in the shadows towards Allison!
"Be-hind you…" She warned as the alien's grip made her world fade in and out. Allison turned just as another alien latched itself onto her face! The surprise attack made her let go of the other face hugger, which attached itself to Taryn's face.
The world was a blur for Taryn as she regained consciousness. She heard a loud clap of thunder from outside the garage. "Allison. Allison where are you?" She asked unable to fully see.
"I-I'm right next to you," Allison breathed out feeling weak. Taryn and Allison noticed the two dead face huggers and their hearts began to race.
"Come on. We need to get out of here," she told Allison helping her up. The two of them stumbled out of the garage and into the pouring rain. The girls weren't sure what to do. They knew they were both impregnated and had only so long before the chest bursters would break out. They needed to get as far away from the campus as possible. Allison could feel her heart starting to beat much faster as the two cut through an alley way.
"No. Not now," she said falling down near a dumpster.
"Allison. We have to keep mov-Aahhh!" Taryn yelled grabbing her chest. "Oh God. It's coming." She said gripping the dumpster. They felt as if their chests were on fire and being ripped apart from the inside.
The two slumped against the alley walls; teeth grinding from the pain. They began to breathe as if they were giving birth, which in a way they were. The pain became unbearable. The aliens were clawing at their insides.
"AHHHHHHH!" They both screamed; their yells of anguish being drowned by more thunder. And the chest bursters broke themselves out of their chests. They slowly rose from the dead girls covered in blood. The aliens let out two small cries and there was a flash of lightening illuminating the deadly creature's figures. They leapt out of their deceased hosts and headed towards the campus.
2 weeks later
"So what do we have here Dean?" Sam asked.
"I'm not really sure. It appears to be your average case. Kids have been vanishing all over this campus. Some have been found dead; a few cases have been reported as extremely mutilated," Dean informed while scrolling through police reports.
"How bad are we talking?"
"This bad," Dean showed clicking on another link. The picture made Sam almost gag. Some of the victims looked as if something had punctured their skulls. Others had completely disfigured faces from claw marks. Their chests had been completely torn up as well. Sam's eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"When did this all start?" Sam asked slightly freaked out from the images he just saw.
"Roughly two weeks ago. Two girls were found dead in an alley way. Campus wouldn't release what the cause of death was. Names were Taryn and Allison. Too bad that got ganked. They were pretty hot." Dean joked. Sam slapped the back of Dean's head. "What was that for!" He asked in a tone that would suggest that he really didn't know what he did wrong.
Sam slid his hand down his face then asked, "Do you have any idea what we're dealing with here? I've never seen or heard of anything killing a person this grotesquely before."
"Haven't the faintest idea. Bobby's going through a bunch of old notes and says he'll report back in if he finds anything. So until then, pack your bags Sammy. It's time to return to college." Dean finished smiling to himself. Sam rolled his eyes as he went back to his room remembering how Dean enjoyed the college experience a bit too much last time.
"So what's our cover going to be this time?" Sam asked though he had a feeling he knew the answer.
"We're un-retiring our frat boy aliases Sammy. Not only will we get to stick around the campus for a while, but we'll also be able to attend all the parties we could want."
"Yeah," was Sam's only response.
"What's wrong Sam? I figured you'd be thrilled to be back in the place of higher learning."
"Things do change Dean you know." Sam replied heading to the drawers to start packing. Dean was right. He should be thrilled to be going back to College if only temporary. He liked it the first time around so why should this be any different? "Because you are different."
Sam looked up and saw his own reflection smirking at him. "It's only a matter of time before you become exactly like this," his reflection blinked and revealed his eyes to have changed to a bright yellow color. Sam shut his own eyes and when he opened them his reflection was back to normal.
Sam checked his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw they were still his normal color. "Calm down, Sam," he said to himself. "What you saw wasn't real," he tried to assure himself, but couldn't help the shaky feeling in his voice.
"Haha," Sam heard Dean cockily laugh, which is usually followed by him breaking the law in some sort of way.
"What did you do this time Dean?" Sam asked not knowing if he was going to like the answer or not.
"I've just enrolled us into Windsor College where all of this is taking place," Dean proudly informed his younger brother while leaning back on his chair.
"Um… Dean how did you know how to hack the college's mainframe." He asked with unease.
"All it takes is a keen mind, Sammy." Sam gave Dean a "yeah right look." "OK. Ash taught me a few things before he died. Satisfied?"
"You do realize the college can trace the hack, right?"
"Yep," and with that answer Dean pushed the computer off the table. It broke upon impact with the floor. Sam laughed a little then the two brothers loaded up the Impala and sped off towards their next hunt.
The two brothers got out of their car and took in the sight of the campus. Well Sam was anyway. Dean was busy taking in the sight of several cheerleaders that was walking by. One of them spotted Dean and returned his lustful stare with one of her own. She licked her lips before racing to catch up with her friends. "I am definitely going to like it here, Sam," Dean informed still watching the cheerleader. Sam turned and saw the same girl knock another student's books out of her hands. The girl was dressed in blue jeans and was wearing a brown jacket and white shirt. She looked like she was in her early 20s and had short brown hair that went down to her neck. Her eyes narrowed at the laughing girls as they walked off. Sam saw the girl look down at her books and began walking towards her.
"I take it she's the campus bitch," Sam guessed watching Emma and her friends head off.
"You have no idea," Sydney replied kneeling down to pick up her books.
"Let me help you with those," Sam offered.
"Thanks. You must be new here around here."
"What gave me away?" Sam asked with a laugh.
"You're helping out a total stranger for one thing," Sidney replied. The two of them reached out for her last book and their hands momentarily touched. It only lasted for a second before they pulled their hands away slightly embarrassed. Sam and Sidney lifted their heads and their eyes met. They both simultaneously smiled at each other, but the sound of something beeping interrupted the moment. Sidney looked at her watch and slammed her hand into her forehead.
"Oh man, I'm late. OK, I have to be somewhere now. Maybe I'll see you around." Sidney said hurriedly to Sam as he helped her to her feet.
"Maybe," Sam replied turning to go after Dean.
"Hey, I didn't get your name!" Sidney called out.
"I'm Sam."
"Sidney." She gave him one last smile before running off in the other direction.
Dean was giving Sam a weird look as he caught up to him.
"Something wrong, Dean?" Sam asked while still looking toward Sidney.
"I saw the way you were eyeing that girl, Sammy." Dean informed him.
"Wait, you've got it all wrong Dean!" Sam quickly stated hoping that would get Dean off his back.
"Of course I do," Dean stated sarcastically.
Meanwhile in the janitor's office, the Trickster pulled out a cell phone and began to dial a number. "Lilith. This is… the silly rabbit," The Trickster informed her feeling his stomach tighten from having to say that stupid codename she forced him to use. "The boys are back in town."
