~DISCLAIMERS & STUFF~

I. I do not own the Scream movie series, nor do I own any established characters within said movie series. I only own my original characters and any changes to the plot that I may or may not make.

II. If you don't like people returning from the dead (or never having died in the first place) it's not recommended you read this. Nor if you don't like canon x oc pairings, because I fully intend on having my original character, Sydney's daughter, paired with Charlie.

III. This will most likely ignore all previous sequels. It's alterverse, so some things, naturally won't have happened, (Randy & Billy's deaths being the biggest things, as well as some changes to the history of the series..)

IV. If you like it, leave a review. If you don't, then I'm sorry. This is a rewrite of the first story I had posted on my profile. It made no sense whatsoever to have Tatum be a major player, though I did love her with Stu.

V. Pairings for this are: Billy x Sydney, Charlie x Oc, Jill x Kirby slash x Robbie.. Those are the major players.

IMPORTANT SHIT BELOW, PLEASE READ

* Sydney never left Woodsboro.. She raised her teenage daughter in the town she grew up in, and she's struggled to do it, due to PTSD and having to raise her daughter to believe a lie.. She's married to Randy Meeks, who never died, because in this version, the killings are strictly about Sydney and all the SECRETS in her life, past and present. Anyone can be Ghostface, but I'll give a spoiler here, and say that two are the same as they were in the previous rewrite of this story..

~ YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL.. BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA~

What if...

You spent the last 16+ years grappling with the horror of having to kill someone you loved and only realized just how much, after you killed them, while raising your child together, completely alone?

What If...

To keep your daughter safe, keep her from the stigma attached to her real father, how he died, you told your teenage daughter one lie after another.

What if..

You don't even know what the truth is, because everything that happened that night happened so fast that you never fully processed it, and you've buried the truth for almost 17 years?

What if..

When you finally learn the truth, the one person you've almost died several times trying to protect is in serious and grave danger because you mistakenly mislead them their entire lives and the danger is right under your nose?
