Chapter 1

She walked into the community college locker room. The short, redheaded girl walked down the small isle of lockers until she got to the very back. She walked to the fourth locker and opened it up. She grabbed a small towel and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She threw the towel back into the locker and grabbed her phone. She dialed a number and pressed call.

After a few rings, the person picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lindsey. I just got done at the gym. After my shower, I'll head over to your house."

"Fine, just hurry your ass up. McKinsey is already here," said Lindsey.

"Hey Lily!" McKinsey exclaimed with a small, southern accent.

Lily laughed and replied, "Hey McKinsey. Ok, I gotta go. I will see you in a little bit."

The phone hung up and she shut the phone. She put it back in her locker and grabbed her bag and dug out her extra pair of clothes. Her phone started ringing. Lily picked it up and looked at the caller I.D. It was private. Lily rolled her eyes and put it back down. The call ended and almost immediately after, it started ringing again. She picked it and looked at the caller I.D. It was another private number. Who the hell was this?

She answered the phone and asked, "Who is this?"

"Hello Lily."

It was a male voice. Deep, mysterious. "Who is this?" she asked again.

"Someone that has had their eye on you for a while."

"Now that is just stalker-ish," she replied back.

The man said, "Well, maybe I am stalking you."

Lily laughed and asked, "Oh yeah? Well why?"

"Because I was trying to figure out where to kill you."

Lily looked around. "What?"

"You heard me."

"Why are you doing this? Just leave me alone."

She ended the call and set it down on the bench. The door opened and clicked shut. Lily shut her eyes and bit her lip. She looked down the isle of lockers and saw no one. She called out, "Hello? Is anyone there?" No one answered. She walked towards the door and looked out the small glass window. No one was in the hallway. She walked back to her locker and grabbed her phone. She was gonna skip the shower and just leave. The lights shut and Lily began to panic. She looked around, but everything was still black. A scraping sound echoed through the room. It was close to her. Lily slowly walked towards the beginning of the isle. She looked down and saw someone run past the door. She jerked backwards and tried to calm her breathing. She looked one more time and saw the person standing in front of her. She screamed as the person lunged at her. They fell down to the ground. The person pinned her to the ground and pulled out a knife. She pushed him off of her and started crawling towards the door. The attacker grabbed her by the hair and jerked her into the locker.

Lily grunted as she hit the metal locker. She kicked the person in the knee. She got up off the floor and ran to the door. She grabbed the door handle and twisted it. The door opened and then got jammed one something from the outside. She looked down and saw chains wrapped around the outside door handle. Lily screamed and glanced over her shoulder. The person ran at her. She ducked as he swung his hand into the window, making the glass shatter across the floor. She looked up at her attacker to see a white ghost-faced mask. It was him. The killer that plagued the small town of Woodsboro. She got up and ran across the room to the showers. She jumped into one and timidly pulled the curtain back into place. She kneeled down and shut her eyes, trying to slow her breathing.

Footsteps echoed throughout the room. One of the showers turned on. Lily backed up against the wall. Another shower turned on. Lily looked around for something to defend herself with, but there was nothing. The shower next to hers turned on. Tears welled up in her eyes. Boots stood in front of the shower that was occupied by Lily. She shut her eyes and waited for her death to come. The person walked away. Lily lay on her chest and peered out the bottom of the curtain. She couldn't see anything except water racing towards the drain in the middle of the floor. She slowly scooted the curtain back and looked out. The man wasn't there anymore. She stepped out and slowly tip-toed down the row of showers.

Water splashing came from one of the showers, but she couldn't identify which one. She looked at each of the four showers still in her way. She started walking backwards when the curtain ripped open and the killer jumped out and shoved her to the ground. She screamed as they hit the ground. Water flowed around them. Lily punched the person and kicked them in the chest. She got up and ran down the rows of lockers and found her way to the back where her locker was located. She grabbed her phone and ran to the other side. She dialed 9-1-1 and pressed call. The phone rang. She glanced around the row of lockers and saw the killer looking around for her. She crawled over behind the next row. The operator finally picked up.

"9-1-1, state your emergency."

Lily whispered in a soft tone, "Please help me. I'm at the Woodsboro Community College and there is a person trying to kill me."

She looked around the lockers and the person was coming down the row. She quickly crawled down the opposite row and crawled across to the other side of the room. She hid behind the locker just as the killer came into her row.

"Is there a safe place that you can get to until we get there?" the operator asked.

Lily thought about it. There really wasn't anything there that was a safe place. Wait, the only place that she could lock was a supplies closet. She glanced over into the row to see the person standing right in front of her. She screamed and dropped the phone. The killer grabbed her by the neck and hoisted her up into the air. All of the oxygen ran out of her lungs. The killer raised the knife, ready to kill. Lily chomped down on the person's hand. The attacked dropped Lily and fell backwards. Lily didn't have time to catch her breath. She got up and ran for the supplies closet. She ran past the lockers and over by the showers. There was a wooden door directly ahead of her. She grabbed the door handle and yanked the door open. She ran in and shut it behind her. She locked the door and backed up against one of the shelves.

Seconds later, the killer bumped against the door, trying to break it down. Lily screamed. She looked around for somewhere to run. There was no way the door was going to hold against her vicious killer. There was a small window above one of the shelves. That was her only choice. She climbed up the shelves and pushed open the small window. The door was beginning to break. She quickly crawled through the small window, praying that she would be able to get out. She got out and looked around. Where was she going to go now? The door broke and the killer entered the room. Lily ran down the sidewalk to the entrance to the gym. There weren't any cars except hers in the parking lot. She didn't have her keys with her. She looked around, trying to decide what to do. She ran for the road that was directly across the field. She ran as fast as she could without looking back or stopping.

The next thing she knew, she was on the ground. She elbowed whoever it was in the stomach and the person fell off of her. She looked at her attacker and it was the killer. She could hear the sirens closing in on them. She couldn't give up. Not now. Not how close she was to living. She got up and sprinted across the field. The police cars entered the college in full speed. She waved her hands in the air as she approached. The cops got out and ran to her.

One of them, a tall male, asked her, "Are you ok?"

She nodded and he ran into the locker room. Another police officer grabbed Lily and took her back to the car and drove her back to the police station. She couldn't believe it. She had lived. She had actually survived.
