Chapter 1: Phone Call

May 14, Sunday 9:25 p.m.

It was a nice and bright night, with the beautiful moon shining in the sky, the wind blowing softly and a very quiet environment all across the town Wawanaka, a very quiet town with no tragic histories since the last one, almost 2 years ago. Ever since, all the town hears are the peacefulness and joy of all its residents. Little they know, a phone call would be the beginning of a massacre.

In the other side of the town, a few miles where the highway exit is, is the mansion of one of the most popular and spoiled kid of Morrissey College, Courtney Rios, a 22-year-old Latina teen, who is mostly known for her bossy attitude. She is currently alone in her house talking over the phone to his boyfriend Duncan Nelson, who is going to see movies with her.

Courtney: Yeah babe I know and don't forget to bring some beers, you know how are my parents with their politics of no alcohol at home blah blah, yeah? Ok, babe, I have to take care of the popcorn, ok. I wait for you, hurry! Bye.

Courtney hangs up the phone and goes to the kitchen to make the popcorn. While she is preparing it, the phone rings, so normally she picks it up.

Courtney: Hello.

Caller: Hello. Who is it? Answered the raspy voice of a man with a serious tone.

Courtney (concerned): What do you mean who is this. You are the one calling this number.

Caller: I'm sorry.

Courtney: Ok, bye. She says hanging up the phone and going back to the kitchen when suddenly the phone rings back. Now with a confused look, she answers.

Courtney: Hello.

Caller: I'm sorry I guess I called the wrong number. It was the same voice.

Courtney: Ok, but why you dial it again.

Caller: To apologize.

Courtney (stressed): Well you are forgiven. Bye now.

Caller: Wait, wait, don't hang up.

Courtney (confused): What? Why?

Caller: I want to talk to you for a second.

Courtney: Call someone else then, see ya. She hangs up, thinking it was probably someone from school making a prank.

In the kitchen, she puts the popcorn in a stove, then she goes to every door of her house and starts to make sure they are locked just in case, since she doesn't have any neighbors close. As she starts to text her boyfriend, the phone suddenly rings again.

Courtney: Hello.

Caller: Why don't you want to talk to me?

Courtney (serious): Who is this?

Caller: You tell me your name; I'll tell you mine.

Courtney (shaking the popcorn): I don't think so.

Caller: What is that noise?

Courtney was about to hang up but then she decided to play along while waiting for Duncan.

Courtney (smiling): Popcorn.

Caller: I like popcorn, I only eat it at the movies.

Courtney: I'm going to watch a video.

Caller: Really? What?

Courtney: A scary movie.

Caller: Do you like scary movies?

Courtney: Yeah, some of them.

Caller: What's your favorite scary movie?

Courtney: Umm if I have to choose I say the exorcist, you know the one with the little girl who gets possessed and pukes all over the priest, she even masturbates with a crucifix. I have watched it a hundred times, it's scarier every time.

Caller: Oh, yeah that's a classic, some people find it disturbing but I find it amusing with all the blood. I like classics.

Courtney: Haha ok that's bit creepy, and what's yours?

Caller: Guess.

Courtney: Carrie, the one with that girl with mind powers that kills everyone in high school dance because they throw blood all over her.

Caller: I like that movie. It's scary.

Courtney: Haha that's disturbing so I guess you liked it.

Suddenly, there were a couple of seconds of silence until the voice responded back.

Caller: So, you got a boyfriend?

Courtney (sarcastic): Why? Do you want to ask me out?

Caller: Maybe, so… Do you?

Courtney: No.

Caller: Great. You never told me your name.

Courtney: Why do you want to know my name.

Caller: Because I want to know who I'm looking at.

After hearing this Courtney spins around and starts looking very nervously at every window of the house.

Courtney (nervous): What did you say?

Caller: I want to know who I'm talking to.

Courtney: That's not what you say, look I have to go.

Caller: I thought we were going to go out.

Courtney: Yeah not happening, bye.

Courtney hangs up and goes to move the stove. While texting Duncan to hurry up, the phone rings.

Courtney (now scared): Yes?

Caller: I told you not to hang me up.

Courtney: Dial someone else ok, bye. She hangs up again but the phone quickly rings.

Courtney (angry): Listen asshole—

Caller (angry): No, you listen little spoiled bitch! You hang up on me again I will gut you like a pig.

Courtney (sobbing): What? what do you want?

Caller (menacing laugh): Hehe yeah… I want to have some fun with you and get to know you better.

Courtney (sobbing but decided): Listen my parents are powerful lawyers so you can't touch me and besides I have a boyfriend and he is coming very soon and you don't want to mess with him.

Caller: I though you say you didn't have a boyfriend.

Courtney: I was lying ok, I have a boyfriend and he has been in juvie so he going to kick your ass.

Caller: Oh, his name wouldn't be Duncan, right?

Courtney (shocked): What? ...What did you say?... How do you know his name?

Caller: Haha I have some fun with him before calling. He did have a lot of piercings, check some pictures.

Immediately her cell phone rings and she sees an unknown number (Blocked) has sent her pictures so she opens and sees photos of Duncan tied up and beaten with bloody bruises and a knife pointing at his neck.

Caller (evilly): Yeah… We have some fun. I bet being a bad boy couldn't save him this time.

Courtney (sobbing almost crying): Please, leave us alone. If this is some joke I swear I will call the police.

Caller: Haha I'll have some fun with you both long enough until the police arrive as you gasp for air like little Duncan here. But guess what?... You can save him; you can save both of your asses today.

Courtney (sobbing): Please I love him, leave us alone please, what do you want.

Caller: If you can answer me a question I'll think about it.

Courtney: Please, don't do this.

Caller: Come on… It will be fun, it's your favorite subject, horror movies.

Courtney (sobbing): Please no.

Caller (evilly, ignoring her): What was the name of the demon in the exorcist?

Courtney (still sobbing): I don't know, please.

Caller: It's your favorite scary movie remember. You have watched it hundreds of times, the little girl gets possessed and pukes, she masturbates with a crucifix. Besides, Duncan's time counts on you. Every time he breathes less.

Courtney (sobbing but decided): Ok, ok, it was... Pazuzu, it was Pazuzu.

Caller: Ok, Next question.

Courtney (sobbing): Please no, you say one question, please.

Caller: Oh, come one you are doing so great, just two more question and you both can live another day.

Courtney (crying): please...

Caller: What was the name of the girl who bullied Carrie?

Courtney: What? How am I a supposed to know that?

Caller: Hint hint, it's a spoiled bitch with a bossy attitude just like you.

Courtney (kind of angry): Oh, fuck you that's not even a horror movie.

Caller: Haha well... Wrong answer! You should consider controlling your temper, lucky for you, you have one more question but for poor Duncan… Times up.

After saying this though the phone there are some slicing sounds and muffled screams.

Courtney (screaming sadly): No! No! please no! What did you do to him, what did you do to him!

Caller (evilly): Hehe, you should know some people hate spoilers but on the bright side, we can continue with you… The only star of the movie.

Courtney (yelling): Fuck you!, you think this is some kind of movie, you fucking psycho.

Caller (laughing evilly): Well for me it is and I am the director and now it's your time for shine like you always do, you are the star, the hot Latina with the attitude and the big ass… Last question awaits.

Courtney (sobbing quietly): Fuck you, fuck you...

Caller: From which window I am looking at you?

Courtney (shocked): What? What did you say?

Courtney starts looking at every window scared and locking all the doors of the house panicked.

Caller: I'm closer than you think.

Courtney starts to move closer to the door glass in her kitchen looking outside but not seeing anything in the dark of the night so she moves back to the kitchen.

Caller: Oh court, sorry but your times up.

From the other side of the room, something is thrown through the backyard window.

Courtney jumps scared and starts to move closely to see what was thrown, but what she sees is probably the most disturbing picture she is going to see for the remainder of her life

Is Duncan's body, both hands tied up and with a lot of bloody cuts through his body with a big one in his belly, which has all of his guts pouring out and a big cut through his neck. Before she can come any closer to the body, the killer appears on the door, wearing a hooded black robe with a white ghostly mask and holding a big knife.

Ghostface starts chasing after Courtney, who tries to open the locked door to the house and manages to dodge the killer knife, which sticks lodged on the door.

Courtney immediately runs upstairs to her room and locks herself in her bedroom and scared picks up the phone to call 911.

911: Hello 911 how can I help you?

Courtney (sobbing scared and desperate): Please, you need to help me please, there is someone in my house and it's trying to kill me, please-

Before she can continue Ghostface burst through the door and starts running to stab her but Courtney manages to dodge again only for the knife to slash across her shoulder making her scream in pain. She starts moving weakly to run downstairs when Ghostface catch up to her and stabs her through the back.

Courtney (weakly cry): Please...

Ghostface pushes her making fall all the way downstairs, hitting the floor hard.

Courtney starts crawling weakly at the door trying to escape but Ghostface walks slowly behind, grabbing her by the hair and sending her with force through the backyard glass door.

Courtney crashes hard in the grass with a lot of cuts and bloody bruises. She is very weak to move or crawl, so she only tries to cry for help as Ghostface walks up to her and turns her over.

Courtney (weakly sobbing): Why…

Ghostface leans over her and stares at her for a second before raising his knife and after a second bring it across her neck.
