Scream 4 Chapter 1
It was all over the news that morning. They had found the body of Sidney Prescott in a swimming pool. She had been stabbed to death and then her body was thrown into a swimming pool, left to drown if she was not already dead. It was a shock to all of Woodsboro. Everyone had seemed to think that the Woodsoro murders had been stopped with the death of Roman.
"Well, looks like Gale Weathers has another book to write," the remark came from a laughing boy in the back row of the classroom. Mr. Anderson turned the television off. "How does this event make you feel? Shocked? Outraged? Happy? Sad?" Mr. Anderson looked around for people not paying attention. "Alison, why don't you tell us how it makes you feel?"
Alison sat up and glared angrliy at Mr. Anderson. "It makes me angry, sir." "Angry? Why angry?" Alison started doodling on a piece of paper. "Why am I the expert on the way people feel all of a sudden? Why should I even care if someone I've never met was murdered?"
"That's the point, Alison, the media makes you care about things that don't involve you." Mr. Anderson walked to the center of the room. "Brandon, how do you feel about it?" It was the boy who had made the remark. "I don't care, but Gale Weathers will be happy, she has another book to write."
The class laughed loudly. "That's enough, calm down everyone. Death is not amusing." "What an idiot," Nathan mumbled. Alision admired Nathan. He was different from most of the other typical people sitting in the classroom with him. On her way home Alison wondered what it would have been like to have been like Sidney Prescott, who couldn't trust anyone and always had a masked killer after her, and her own boyfriend murdering her mother. Everyone knew her story, it was in the movies, in books, in the newspaper.
When Alison got home she was surprised to see her father waiting for her at the kitchen table. "Alison, sit down, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's important." Alison did as she was told. "I know you must have heard about the murder of Sidney Prescott, I've been keeping this from you since you were born but she is your half sister. I've been keeping an eye on the news about her to make sure that nothing would happen to endanger you but now I feel that I have to tell you. I knew she was going to be murdered eventually, I planned to tell you when it happened and hope that you would take the news well. You two have the same mother."
Alison was shocked. Her face, which was very similar to her now dead sister, often displayed her emotions. Her father picked up on that. "I know all of this may be very upsetting for you but I should tell you the whole story. I didn't know that your mother was married with a daughter when I met her. She was seperated from Sidney's father for a year because of problems they had. We met sometime during that year, then she become pregant and had you and wanted nothing to do with the two of us. I told you that your mother had died during childbirth but that was not true. I was only pretecting you."
Alison wasn't really sure how to react. She found out that she had a sister and a mother that she had never known. A piece of her family that she would never know. She didn't know how she was supposed to feel about this. All she knew was that her sister and mother had been murdered and she might be next. "Do you think the murderer will come after me next?"
"I'm not sure, Alison, that's why I am getting you some help. I am going to contact Deputy Riley, he should know how to deal with this. He was one of Sidney's friends and he went through the same things she did. I'm not sure if anyone knows you are her sister but I don't want what happened to her to happen to you. You are my only child and I am going to make sure that no one hurts you."
