"Alright so we're all set to start playing with poor Emma." Announces Piper Shaw, silver knife in hand, white scream mask over her face.
Another figure, smaller in stature sighs before removing their mask, revealing the face of one Audrey Jensen "Fine, but just one rule."
Piper laughs "A rule? No way, this is a free for all."
Audrey stares impassively "Either you agree to this rule or we stop right here and you never get your revenge."
"And neither would you, aren't you just dying to get back at Emma?"
Audrey looks to the mask "More than you'd ever know, but I have one rule."
Piper toys with the knife, delicate fingers cruising along the blade "What is it?"
"Noah is off limits. You don't touch him, don't harass or talk to him. Stay the hell away from him." Declares Audrey
Piper busts out laughing, grabbing her abdomen "Are you joking? They're all going to die! No one is safe!"
"Noah is, or I walk and you're back to square one." Orders the high schooler
A wicked idea suddenly comes to Piper's mind, her hands tingle in preparation "Alright, little Noah is off limits ... Your lover on the other hand-"
Audrey bangs her fist against a hard table "Don't you fucking touch Rachel!"
"Did I hit a nerve? It's your choice Audrey. One of them will die, so which one will it be? The boy with a serial killer fetish or your lesbian lover who cuts herself?"
"Don't talk about them like that!"
"This isn't a fucking game! People are going to die and if you want to protect Noah then Rachel will take his place!"
"Rachel is not my lover! And I am not a lesbian, it was one night, we were both drunk!"
"Stop lying Audrey! Don't be ashamed of who you are, I'm not judging you for who you love. I'm making you choose which one gets stabbed in the back!"
Audrey wracks fingers through her dark hair, could she really choose which of her closet friends to die? Rachel wasn't necessarily her girlfriend or lover, but the blonde still had a hold of her heart, but Noah had stood by her ever since childhood.
"Tick tock honey, what is it going to be? Who's head is on the chopping block?" Taunts Piper, knife now turning in the air.
Audrey puts on her best poker face to mask her discomfort, no one could see through it, except for Noah. "Fine, kill Rachel."
The words spilled from her mouth without any second thought, the guilt weighed heavily upon her as she condemned the girl to murder. "Did you hear me? You can kill Rachel!"
Piper eagerly hands the knife over "That wasn't so hard was it? We'll play by your rules, anyone but Noah is fair game."
Audrey takes the knife, holding what could be her lovers murder weapon tightly in hand, her dark eyes are drawn to the parked car outside the large estate. "That's them, Tyler and Nina."
Piper smiles, taking out a carving knife of her own "This is all for you dad. I'll get you justice. Let the return of Brandon James begin."
Happy Fourth of July everyone! 🇺🇸 I hope you're all having an amazing holiday! promise that I'm not dead and will hopefully resume posting soon! For now, here's a small one shot ;)
