Hello! It's been a while since I've written a fanfic now phew. Been more into roleplaying for a long while instead. Anyway here's my first fanfic from MTV's Scream series focused around Noah Foster.
Warning? Well, there'll be somewhat graphic text and character death.
The Carnival. Noah had already visited before it's opening, though he would rather forget about that time. Little reminded him of the creepy horror movie setting a few days ago now. The ferris wheel was lit up, stands were filled with candies, stuffed toys and games not to mention half of Lakewood seemed to have come to visit. He himself were currently snacking on some popcorn waiting for Zoe to return. Seated at a bench with Brooke seated like a Queen on the table itself, Stavo on the other side while Emma and Eli chatted amongst themselves. Then there were Audrey next to him. Or... she had been there moments earlier anyway...
Stavo hadn't been impressed with the fact that Lakewood decided to let the town's Carnival go on as planned despite the murders that had been going on though. Noah couldn't deny the truth in that, but considering the amount of visitors they were in dire need of some good time. The police certainly had taken their job seriously though as the currently merry place had a good amount of cops amongst the crowd. It was when Noah received a text from an 'unknown' that a well known fear started growing in his chest. 'You might find them' was written followed by a gif of Zoe and Audrey in an argument somewhere at the Carnival. It was soon followed by 'But could you save them?'
He was on his feet at once. Cursing himself and everyone else for attending this thing in the first place. The killer had his best friend and his girlfriend both trapped seemingly without them even knowing. His heart beat in his chest, scanning the area of the Carnival. People enjoying the cool night and letting all their worries to rest for a night.
"He's here. The killer is here," Noah grabbed Emma and Brooke as he showed them the gif he had been sent,
"We have to find them. I can't let anything happen to them. I just can't-" Noah ran a hand through his hair. All the worst case scenarios from every horror movie ever running through his mind like a freight train. Against his better judgment he didn't give time to make a plan and soon they had all split up to comb through the crowd and attractions. Splitting up just like the killer probably wanted, but right now Noah's mind was running on overdrive. At least Stavo went with Brooke and Eli with Emma. Noah? He didn't have a death wish, but neither was he going to waste any time.
About ten minutes of pushing through the crowd the sound of shouting and screaming made not only Noah perk up, but every single head in the crowd. Then there it was. The mask he had gotten to know all too well. Running at him and just as he was ready to get the hell out of the way the masked man was followed by yet another in the killer costume who then was followed by a highly unamused police officer.
Pranksters...
"Perfect. Absolutely perfect," Noah yelled as he tried to see anything over the chaos the pranksters were causing. To make matters worse there seemed to be a whole football team running around in the mask to stir up trouble. There was nothing he could do but to push on and try to find Zoe and Audrey. Many of the people in the crowd chuckled at the pranksters while others scolded them for the heartless display of mischief causing a good chunk of the visitors to call it a night.
"Noah!" Brooke's voice called through the crowd, the petite blond pressing her way through the crowd followed by Stavo,
"Found anything?"
Stavo cursed when Noah shook his head, looking just as bewildered as everyone else.
"I hate to say 'I told you so', but-" he started saying, but was cut off by the glare from both Brooke and Noah. A second of silence Stavo snorted and raised his hands in surrender,
"Whom I kidding I'd love to say it."
Noah was moving again, picking up his phone as it rang finding Emma's name flashing on the screen,
"Please tell me you've found something, Emma. I swear if we don't get people out of here this will turn into a massacre," he fretted, being on the move again towards the fun house he had been to only days before. A thud behind him made him spin around in time to see Brooke push herself around on the ground letting out a scream seeing what had tripped her. Stavo was quick to pull her to her feet though eyes on the body on the ground.
"It's that Haley chick-" Noah grimaced seeing her throat cut so deep it went almost through to the bone. Brooke stared at the blood on her hands, seeming ready to throw up, but kept it to herself long enough to find a banner to wipe it off her. For all his mystery Stavo stared at the dead girl a while, swallowing before picking up his phone to get a hold of his father.
There were a scream off by the ferris wheel however that caught the attention of the remaining crowd and even from Noah's standpoint it didn't take long to see what was going on. Hanging off the ferris wheel wasn't one, nor two, but three bodies hanging by the neck. Guts hanging from their lifeless bodies as if being hanged hadn't made it obvious enough they were dead. That had the crowd fleeing and allowed Noah to press toward the fun house that were quickly being evacuated. Brooke and Stavo went another way once inside, occasionally jumping out of the way when people hanging behind came running through.
Noah opened his mouth to shout for Audrey just in time to catch himself. Being so into horror flicks were really starting to cause his mental state more worry than usefulness. Calling out could alert the girls of his location, but knowing all too well who else might hear him too. He didn't have to wallow in self hatred for long though, gasping in relief as he saw Zoe at the end of the seemingly endless row of mirrors.
"Zoe!" he dared a smile, picking up his pace as he hurried forward, but the closer he got the more the smile vanished seeing blood on his girlfriends' face and neck,
"Oh god what happened to you!" he fretted, trying to embrace her, but she started pulling on his arms towards where she had come from.
"We got to help her. Audrey. The killer. He's... She tried to fight him off. Told me to run-" she shuddered, not giving him a chance to ask who's blood it was, but as long as she was up and running that would have to do for now.
She was terrified. That much was clear, but whatever the argument with Audrey had been about it didn't seem to matter now. Zoe lead him through the corridors of mirrors just as Audrey barged through a door hidden by a mirror. The short haired girl grabbed a hold of the door handle and used all the weight she could put into it to slam it close just as the masked killer came after. It hit him square in the head so hard the larger body crashed to the floor on the other side, cursing from the pain and the glass that fell over him like a shower.
"Audrey!" Noah shouted, seeing to his horror the amount of blood on his friend's body.
The killer got to his feet again a tad clumsily, but no less a threat so Audrey pushed the door closed only to find no lock on it.
"What are you staring at, run!" she yelled at them as she pushed away from the door towards them to get them going. She was, by all means, a fighter, but without a weapon when her attacker had a dagger there wasn't much she could do to win such a fight. That much was obvious with the wounds she had suffered already. The trio found themselves running blind through the confusing corridors with the killer on their trail.
Noah didn't stop until he pretty much crashed into Stavo as they made their way out a back door.
"Where's Audrey?" Zoe cried from where she was standing by the door trying to look into the fun house to find her. Not even Stavo who was closest had time to pull her to safety before the killer was there, plunging his dagger straight into her chest. Noah was screaming before he ran forward to try and reach her, but the killer dragged her inside with the door slamming behind him.
"Zoe!" he cried, banging on the door, trying to no use to get it open.
The plan is for 3 chapters :)
