December 23, 1999

            Jennifer was lying in her bed in deep thought.  Her life had changed so much in just two years.  The sixteen year old had lost her two best friends, been adopted by Helen, battled Scissorman again, and she had met Nolan.  Nolan was her boyfriend.  They had met after Scissorman returned.  They quickly fell in love.

            The baby started to cry.  Jennifer got out of her bed went to get her daughter's bottle.  The baby was conceived soon after the events in the Barrows mansion.  After Jennifer ended up pregnant Nolan was arrested for statutory rape and was currently sitting in jail.  After feeding the baby and getting it to sleep she decided to go get a snack.  She went back into the kitchen when she heard a familiar metal clang.  "Helen," she called out.  Surely it couldn't be a pair of scissors. 

            She walked through the house towards the source of the noise.  It had come from the living room.  "Jennifer what's wrong," Helen asked.

            Jennifer turned around quickly.  "Oh, it's you.  I thought I heard a noise."  She turned on the light.  There was nothing there.  She turned off the light and went back to her room. 

December 24

            Jennifer got out of bed and started to get dressed.  She was going to go Christmas shopping with Beth.  She bundled up the baby and put it in its stroller.   She went towards the front door.  Helen had apparently left already.

            "Hi, Jennifer," Beth said cheerily.  They went to her car and left.  The mall was packed with last minute holiday shoppers.  It was about as normal a shopping trip as any until they were about to leave.  Beth's cell phone started to ring. 

            "Hello," she said.  Somebody talked for a moment.  "Oh my god." 

            Jennifer looked at Beth with concern.  "Yes, we'll go there right now."  Beth turned to Jennifer.  "That was Gotts.  Helen was…murdered."
            Jennifer went pale and felt dizzy.  "Who? How?" she mumbled.

            Beth lowered her head and didn't do anything for a few moments.  "I'm really sorry to have to say this.  It was apparently somebody using…"

            "A giant pair of scissors," they both said at the same time.  So it been Scissorman that she heard last night.  The two women, and the baby, went to the parking lot.  It was already nighttime. 

            "Oh no.  Somebody slashed my tires," Beth moaned.  "I'll call Gotts.  Maybe he can give us a ride."  She pulled out her cell phone and started to call Gotts.  Unfortunately she didn't notice the pair of scissors under her car.  At least until they were used to chop off her feet.

            CLANG!  Beth fell to the ground.  Scissorman pulled himself out from under the car.  He stabbed Beth with the Scissors and turned to Jennifer.  "I'm back."

            Jennifer pulled the baby out of the stroller and started to run back towards the mall.
