Scream 4: Part II

Prologue

Clutching at her stomach, Sydney winced in pain as she made her way over too Jill's lifeless body using the bed frame as a crutch. She knew the girl was dead, but she needed to be sure, she had to be.


"Sid?"

Slumping down to her knees, her one arm still clutching at her stomach as though she was trying to keep her insides from falling out, she rolled the lifeless body over. Even amongst the array of dried blood cuts and bruises Jill was beautiful, though the girl's once captivating emerald green eyes were now a dark empty void. She ran her fingers over the young girl's eyes forever closing them.

"Sydney, are you alright?" came Gale's voice from the other side of the bed.

Gale turned her attention back towards her husband who was now slowly coming too. The bleeding had stopped, but Gale was certain he had suffered a moderate concussion. Still, they had been through some bad times before, so this was no different.

"At least this time he wasn't stabbed again!"

Gale couldn't help but suppress a slight giggle at that thought; they were all going to be okay and that was all she cared about. She pushed back some of Dewey's hair and then proceeded to help him to his feet.

"How are you feeling?" she asked him as she sat him on the hospital bed before taking a seat next to him.

"Like I got my ass kicked." he said with a chuckle, his hand running over the large gash on his head. It hurt like hell, and he knew he was going to need stitches.

"Yeah, the little bitch gotcha pretty good there." replied Gale who was now trying to help clean him up.

Sydney got back to her feet and hobbled over to give the two a hug.

"Hicks, you still with us?" asked Gale, looking over her shoulder.

Using the bed sheets, Judy was able to pull herself up onto the bed. The look on her face told Gale everything she needed to know.

"Thank you, for saving my life back there." smiled Gale, sticking her hand out to shake Judy's.

"All in a day's work." said Hicks who then glanced over at Jill's lifeless body.

At that moment there was a lot of commotion, and the small room was filled with officers.

"Sheriff, are you oaky?" asked one of the deputies walking over to Dewey.

Dewey slowly got to his feet, he might be injured but he had a job to do, and that came first.

"Matthews, Lawson, let's get a wrap on this! I don't want any of this getting out to the press till I say so!" he barked as he strode over to Jill's body. If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes he would have never guessed Jill was behind all of the murders. There had to be more too it, none of it made any sense to him. Why would a high school student want to kill her friends and family? He hoped that further investigation would help dig up some clues into this whole mess.

"Hicks, do me a favor and go check on Kirby. If she was conscious when this happened she needs to be reassured everything is alright. Under no circumstances do you mention Jill. Poor girl has been through enough tonight, those details can wait till later." said Dewey.

"Copy that Sheriff." replied Deputy Hicks as she crossed the room and made her way down the hallway towards Kirby's room.

Sydney looked down at her at her gown. It was soaked in blood, but the bleeding had at least stopped for now.

"What does it take to get a fucking doctor in here?" yelled Gale as she poked her head down the hallway.

"Lawson, get me a gurney!" said Dewey who was now squatting down to examining Jill's body.

"The girl did a number to herself." he commented to Matthews.

"Hard to believe she was the one behind the mask, sir. None of it makes sense, how does a seventeen year old girl do something like this. Girl must have been fucked up in that little hea—" said Matthews before he was cut off by Dewey.

"Not the time or place Deputy!" he spat getting back to his feet and walking over to Sydney.

"Come on Sydney, we need to get your stitches looked at. How about we take you to another room, preferable a quieter one at that." said Dewey, putting his arm around her shoulder and helping her to her feet.

A nurse approached both of them pushing a wheel chair.

"Take her to Miss Reed's room. Sydney, not a word to Kirby." said Dewey.

He took one last look at Sydney before turning on his heels and walking back towards the crime scene.

After a few minutes she was unable to hear the noise down the hall as the nurse wheeled her into the new room. She could see Kirby fast asleep on the far side of the room in between both beds was a small side table with a phone. Deputy Hicks looked over at Sydney and smiled.

"I'll be out of your hair Sydney." she said as she made her way towards the door.

"Judy, I remember you now. Back in freshman year, didn't you date Stu for a few months?" asked Sydney.

Brushing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear Judy looked over at Sydney.

"I did, kind of crazy now that I think about it." she replied.

Hicks waved to Sydney then left the room.

The nurse made her way over to one of the closets and pulled out a clean gown for Sydney to change into. She took a look at the woman's stitches and assured her that she would be fine, but that the doctor was more than likely going to have to re-stitch her back up.

The nurse helped Sydney into bed then walked over to check on Kirby.

"Is she going to be alright?" asked Sydney.

"It's a miracle she still alive. She lost a lot of blood, but the doctors believe she will pull through. For now only time will tell. Also dear, if you need anything just pick up the phone." said the nurse before closing the door behind her.

Now all Sydney could do was think, while Matthews had been blunt about it he was right. Even though Dewey and Gale did not know Charlie was also apart of the killing, none of it made any sense. She could see their motives behind it all but that did not make up for the fact that due to her size, Jill Roberts was no force to be reckoned with. Charlie might have been a little better off than her but still, he lacked any physical stature what so ever. For now she would try her best to get some sleep. When the reporters found out about this they were going to have a field day, she was sure of it. Sydney pulled the covers up to her chin and rolled over, closing her eyes.

All of a sudden the phone next to her began to ring. She thought about letting it go, it was probably Dewey checking up on her. Finally she rolled over and answered the phone.

"Yes?"

A sinister voice came across the line, causing Sydney's blood to run cold.

"Like I said Sydney, you will die when I want you too! Tonight was only the beginning. Get some sleep; you're going to need it! I will be seeing you very soon!"

The line went dead.

With the phone still pressed hard against her ear, Sydney looked out across the room in horror, unblinking or able to move.

Authors Notes: Alright, so this is my take on what a Scream 5 would be. This story is going to start up right after the events of Scream 4, so if you did not see the movie yet, you probably shouldn't be reading this. I have everything planned out including the killer. Things will start to make more sense in the coming chapters, so if you stick it out I can assure you it will be a good story. I would really appreciate it if you could leave a review and tell me what you think. This is my first story, so I just want some pointers and things of that nature. Also, for now the story is going to be a hard T, but when the body count starts to rise I might have to raise it to an M.
