INT. GALE'S HOME-EVENING
There is a knock at Gale's door. She answers it and Molly is waiting outside; backpack slung over her shoulder.
GALE: Hi Molly. Glad you were able to come over on such short notice and all; especially with everything that's transpiring back at the university.
MOLLY: It's no problem, Gale. Raves were never my thing.
GALE: I shouldn't be gone long, but there's plenty of food in the refrigerator if you or Courtney get hungry. And if any problems arise…
MOLLY: Relax, Gale. I've been trained in self-defense remember. Now go do whatever is you have to. I'll take…good care of your daughter.
GALE: Ok…thanks.
Gale gives Molly one last look before exiting her home. She steps inside her car and takes a little time to gather her composure. She cranks up the car and heads towards her destination. Back inside the house Courtney and Molly face one another.
MOLLY: So we meet again.
Courtney raises an eyebrow and then smirks. She books it for the next room. Molly chases after her.
MOLLY (CONT'D): Oh no you don't! You aren't outrunning me!

INT. WOODSBORO LIBRARY-NIGHT
The rave is in full swing. Everywhere you look, the college kids are having a blast. Jack and his band are illuminated by a group of spotlights set up on the second floor.
TATUM: This is Hot Stuff checking in with Film Geek and Super Bitch. Second floor is currently clear. Over.
SIDNEY: Why am I Super Bitch again?
TATUM: Come on, it's a good code name.
AMY (V.O.): It's a lot better than mine. Mad Dog and Future Seer have nothing to report in the hallways. What's Clockstopper's status? Over.
TATUM: Clockstopper is...ummmm...somewhere in the massive mob of students below us.
MONICA (V.O.): You don't know where she is?
Sidney takes the radio from Tatum's possession.
SIDNEY: Relax Mama K. She can take care of herself. Just stay in your position and radio in if you see anything suspicious.
MONICA (V.O.): Alright…and can I please change my codename to something else?
Tatum takes back the radio.
TATUM: It's either this or Big Mama. Take you pick.
MONICA (V.O.): Mama K is fine. Over and out.
CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO LIBRARY HALLWAYS-NIGHT
Alex pockets his radio and runs a hand through his hair; obviously stressed. Amy punches him on the shoulder and gives a half smile.
AMY: Why so serious, Alex?
ALEX: You did not just say that.
AMY: Say what.
ALEX: (Beat) Really? You've never… "Wanna know how I got these scars?"
AMY: Excuse me?
ALEX: The Dark Knight? One of the highest grossing film of…good grief.
Amy blankly stares at Alex like he's speaking in a foreign language…then proceeds to burst out laughing, which makes him start to laugh as well.
AMY (laughing): Glad I could put a smile on that face.
ALEX: Ok, were finished with that…now.
AMY: Alex, what is it?
Alex puts a finger to his lips and points straight ahead. Though she doesn't see what he's pointing to, Amy nods in understanding. Over her shoulder a shadow can be seen sneaking around the corner. Alex pulls out his radio as he silently moves down the hallway.
ALEX: Guys I think we have something…guys?
All that he hears on his radio is static. He and Amy stop in their tracks while he shakes his radio some.
ALEX: Guys will you come in!
One of the doors Amy is standing in front of swings open hitting her in the side and propelling her over the second floor railing. She makes a quick grab for the bars and holds on tightly. Alex darts his head to the right and jumps back as Ghostface's knife misses cutting into his throat. Alex raises his gun, but Ghostface kicks him in the wrist diverting the shot.
He kicks Alex into the wall and then does a jump kick at his face. Alex snaps down to the floor and Ghostface slams his foot into Alex's mouth taking him down. Amy pulls herself over the bars and fires off a shot from her gun. Ghostface dodges and slices at her. Amy absorbs the blow with her arm and holds back the knife.
Ghostface breaks the lock and punches Amy in her right wrist twice making her drop the gun. He hits her across the left side of her face knocking her back towards the stairs. She grabs the railing to hang on, but Ghostface back hands her across the face sending her falling down the steps. Her head makes a hard crash against the wall and she remains unmoving.
GHOSTFACE: That wasn't so difficult.
A gun is pressed against the back of Ghostface's head and the safety is clicked off.
LAURIE: Hands up dirt bag.
Ghostface puts his hands up, but swiftly spins around and pulls the gun away from his head. He hits Laurie in the throat and stabs Kristen right in her stomach. He delivers a hard kick right into the knife knocking her to the floor.
He ducks Laurie's punch, grabs her head and head butts her followed by hitting her in the heart, side stepping behind her, and punching her hard in the back of her neck. Ghostface turns back and connects his foot with Kristen as she attempts to recover. Blood shoots out of her broken nose. He turns back around to Laurie and kicks her in the face breaking her nose too.
GHOSTFACE: Matt Damon would be proud.
He yanks his knife free of Kristen's stomach, wipes off the blood, and and walks off into the dark.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY FIRST FLOOR-NIGHT
Jack and his merry band bring the relatively obscure, but awesome "We Are Sex Bob-omb" to an awesome finish. The audience erupts into a thunderous applause regardless of the fact that almost none of them had heard of the song prior to tonight.
BAND MEMBER # 1: And that was "We Are Sex Bob-omb" everyone! Now we're gonna take a short break, but we'll be back soon.
The students all give a rousing applause as the band walks off the stage; spotlights following them to the exit.
Meanwhile, Emma the Clockstopper stands at the back of the library. Cut off from most of the noise and confusion of the rave. She has momentarily shut off her radio so the others wouldn't break into her concentration.
EMMA (Whispers): Stop, stop, stop.
She opens her eyes, and the pupils have been drained of most of their color. The entire rave begins to slow down. Emma forms a wide grin, but the desired effect isn't achieved and the students all return to normal speed. Emma feels light headed and falls back into someone's arms. She looks up into Jessica's caring eyes.
JESSICA: Had a little too much to drink tonight?
EMMA: No. Just practicing my powers. Not going so hot right now.
Emma and Jessica slide down the wall to sit and Emma lays her head on Jessica's shoulder.
JESSICA: Your powers are kind of dangerous. Back in in1996 they knocked you out cold.
EMMA (Strained): But they helped…save lives.
Emma feels a cold shiver run up her spine and takes a few slow and easy breathes. Jessica gives Emma's temples a short rub to once again help calm her down.
JESSICA: Just relax and enjoy the Rave, Red.
Emma nods and they both move to stand up. As they stand, an energetic Laura jumps into their view.
LAURA: Hey guys! Great Rave huh! ? Get this! When Jack and his band come back they're actually gonna let me sing a song! How awesome is that! ?
EMMA: Ummm…great Laura.
JESSICA: Really happy for you.
LAURA (Calming down and clearing her throat): So, have either of you guys seen Dean? We came here together, but I lost track of him a few minutes ago.
EMMA: Haven't seen much of anyone really. Considering how paranoid Dean is, I'm surprised he'd come here at all.
LAURA: He did mention something about staying in the shadows all night. Whatever that means.
CUT TO:
INT. BATHROOM-NIGHT
Jack is in one of the bathroom stalls. As he finishes his business and flushes the toilet his cell phone vibrates. He notices that it's an unknown number and hits 'ignore'. He starts to open the door and his phone vibrates again. This time Jack answers it.
JACK: Look, I don't know who you are and I don't care, but stop fucking calling!
Jack hangs us and opens up the bathroom stall. He exits, but stops only a couple of inches outside of the door. Written on one of the mirrors in blood is:
REDRUM
JACK (laughing): Very funny guys. Real funny. I'm so scared right now. Redrum. Redrummm.
Jack continues to do a mock impression of the redrum voice while leaving the bathroom.
JACK (CONT'D): Redrum. Please. What's next? Ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ah!
Jack hops back dodging a knife aimed at his foot. He scrambles backwards from the advancing Ghostface and notices a fire ax. He shatters the glass and pulls out the ax to defend himself. He spins the ax around slowly attempting to look intimidating.
Ghostface tilts his head, pulls Laurie's stolen gun out of his cloak, and shoot Jack in the leg. Jack howls out in agony and falls onto his back. Ghostface sprints forward and scoops up the ax. He swings down, but Jack rolls to the left. He picks himself up and half limps, half runs towards the exit.
Ghostface pursues him and takes a huge swipe at Jack's legs. Jack loses his balance and bashes his head up against the exit door knocking it open. He tries to crawl away, but Ghostface pulls him back inside before anyone can see him. Ghostace brutally steps on the back of Jack's neck making the world go dark. Ghostface then steps in front of Jack and swings the ax into Jack's right wrist cutting it completely off.
Jack lets out a huge scream, which is drowned out by Ghostface kicking him in the mouth knocking out one of his teeth. Ghostface kicks Jack onto his back, and slams the ax into his shoulder.
Jack holds back his cry this time and just glares at Ghostface. Ghostface quickly removes the ax from his shoulder eliciting a small groan and raises it over his head. Jack acts fast and does a sweep kick sending Ghostface to the floor. Jack pulls out his phone and hastily tries to dial a number while simultaneously crawling away.
He finishes dialing the number and Ghostface kicks him in the left hand knocking away the phone. He kicks Jack right in the left temple and slams the ax back down. It connects with Jack's neck and cuts his head clean off; spewing blood over Ghostface's mask. He wipes the blood off and drags Jack away.
CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO HOSPITAL-NIGHT
A paramedic enters the Hospital non-chalantly. The paramedic rounds a few corners and passes by someone's room.
JUDY: Hold it right there!
GALE: Damn it.
Gale freezes in place and is confronted by Judy and Robert.
JUDY: How did you get in here, Gale? This place is on lock…are you going to make me ask where you obtained the paramedic's outfit?
GALE: Don't worry. The guy I stole this from will regain consciousness in a half hour.
ROBERT: Gale we don't have time to deal with you right now. I'd tell you to leave, but we all know you'd go and get yourself into trouble.
GALE (mock flattery): You know me so well.
Judy politely pushes Gale into Sonya's room. She makes her sit on one of the chairs.
SONYA: Hi Gale.
GALE: Hey.
JUDY: Listen, Gale. I want you to sit there and don't move. Understood?
GHOSTFACE (V.O.): Understood.
Judy pulls her radio out of her pocket and turns up the volume.
JUDY (pissed): You. What do you want?
GHOSTFACE: Well I was thinking of ordering a pizza, but must've mixed up radio channels-WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK! ?
Despite his outburst, Ghostface laughs darkly on his end of the line.
GHOSTFACE (V.O. CONT'D): I was wondering if you ever got my message Gale. You can hear me can't you?
GALE: Loud and clear.
Judy walks out the Hospital room and looks down both sides of the hallway. It's too busy for her to clearly see if anyone is speaking on a radio.
GHOSTFACE (V.O. CONT'D): You don't think I'd be stupid enough to taunt you in plain sight do you Hicks?
Another creepy laugh and the line goes to static. Robert pulls out his radio and tries to reach Kincaid.
ROBERT: Mark we've got a problem…Mark? Come in damn it!
Static. Robert shuts it off and punches the wall.
ROBERT (CONT'D): He knows we're here so he can't be far. Come on Judy.
Judy nods and follows him out the door, but stops. She walks over to Sonya and gives her a long hug.
JUDY: Be safe, Sonya. And Gale…
GALE: I know, don't move.
JUDY: And don't let anything happen to my daughter.
Judy goes after her husband. Sonya gives Gale a questioning look.
GALE: After a meeting I had with your parents I received a threatening text message. I was told to go to a specific portion of the Hospital. Naturally my curiosity got the better of me, but I spent most of the evening trying to trace the number I was texted.
SONYA: Why didn't you ask for anyone to help you?
GALE: Sonya, you know me. Never been one to ask for help; at least not for a while.
SONYA: Well what are you waiting for? Go to where ever it was in the Hospital you were headed.
GALE: You heard your mother.
Sonya gives Gale a 'yeah right' look this time.
GALE: Forget I said that.
She stands and Sonya appears to be getting out of her bed.
GALE (CONT'D): Absolutely not, Sonya.
Sonya pouts and slumps back into bad.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY-NIGHT
BAND MEMBER # 1: I've looked everywhere guys. I can't find Jack anywhere.
BAND MEMBER # 2 (shrugs): Well we can't leave the audience hanging forever. We're gonna have to start without him.
The band member takes the microphone and motions to the guy on the lights to start scanning through the crowd.
BAND MEMBER # 2 (CONT'D): Ok this is a message going out to Jack. If you're in the crowd making out with/grinding on or both with a girl then get your butt back on stage!
When nothing happens he curses into the mic by accident and the audience all snicker.
BAND MEMBER # 2 (CONT'D): Have it your way man. Hey Laura! Time to show off your vocal skills!
LAURA: That's my cue girls. Wish me luck!
The lights all shut off to the library minus the spot lights as Laura weaves through the crowd. Jessica looks back to Emma and nudges her head toward the mob.
JESSICA: I think a dance will do you some good.
EMMA(Flirtatiously): And I think you're looking for an excuse to get close to me.
CUT TO:
INT. GALE'S HOME- NIGHT
Gale's living room is quite a mess. Candy bar wrappers are scattered across the floor as are empty bags of popcorn. There are also a couple of broken dishes lying back on the kitchen counter. Courtney is lying across the couch watching Molly sift through a bunch of CD's Gale owns.
MOLLY: So what song would you like for me to put on?
COURTNEY: Oh, the usual.
MOLLY: I was hoping you'd say that.
Molly smiles and puts on the song "Black Sheep by Metric". She cranks up the volume as Courtney stands up on the couch and grabs the remote like it's a microphone.
COURTNEY and MOLLY: Come home, Black Sheep. Come home, Black Sheep.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY- NIGHT
LAURA: Come home, Black Sheep. Come home, Black Sheep. Come home, Black Sheep.
CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO HOSPITAL
"Black Sheep" continues to play in the background while Gale treks down the hallways. She picks up the pace as the guitar starts playing and a montage begins.
Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you well.
The shot cuts to a sign showing Gale is heading for the morgue.
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Sonya sits up in her bed and starts to pull out the IV wires.
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
Ghostface drags Jack's headless body down the halls leaving a bloody trail.
You crack the whip, shape shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo
From youuuuu
(Instrumental)
Emma and Jessica are back on the dance floor.
Tatum is showing off her dance skills to Sidney and Randy, who is predicatlbly starring at her like a drooling nut.
Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage
On the other side of the second floor the door is kicked open, but the trio doesn't notice.
Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
Gale notices what appears to be a body bag get dragged around the corner leading to the morgue. After a moments hesitation she pursues.
You crack the whip, shape shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Gale enters the morgue and shutters slightly at Rachel's body on one of the tables.
Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, oo
Ghostface sneaks up on one of the guys working the lights and impales him through the back of the head.
It's a mechanical bull, the number one
You'll take a ride from anyone, everyone wants a ride, pulls away,
oooh from you
Jessica spins around and kisses Emma. They break apart and tightly hug one another as the song came to a close.
CUT TO:
INT. HOSPITAL-NIGHT
Something on one of the counters catches Gale's attention. She walks over to the back of the room and moves a few things out of the way on one of the counters to get a better look at it; the doors to the morgue slowly closing without making a sound. She reaches forward and picks up what appears to be…a camera?
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY- NIGHT
Emma looks over where Sidney is at. She, Randy, and Tatum were still dancing to the closing seconds of the song and rather humorously poor at that.
Ghostface directs the lights right in front of where Laura is standing.
GHOSTFACE: Time to crash this party.
He hauls Jack's body over the railing and watches as it plummets to the floor landing on top of one of the amplfiers. The band halts the song immediatley and one member faints at the sight of it. Laura puts a shaky hand over her mouth and gasps.
Then all Hell breaks loose and the students all make a run for it while Laura screams out Jack's name at the top of her voice. One of his band mates grabs her and forcibly pulls her off the stage to get her to safety. Emma and Jessica run off to the side and access their commincators, but they get only static.
Emma spots Ghostface advancing towards Sidney with the ax slung over his shoulder. Sidney is too preocupied watching the students running for their lives to notice.
EMMA: SIDNEY! SIDNEY! STOOOOOPPPP!
Time suddenly freezes all around Emma and Jessica, who is clutching her shoulder.
JESSICA: Emma? How...?
EMMA: Not now!
Emma pulls Jessica with her and runs for the stairs. She can feel her halt on time slipping with every second that passes. Her head starts pounding and she feels incredibly dizzy. It's too much for her to handle! She and Jessica burst through the second floor doors as time resumes and Emma falls to the floor.
JESSICA: SIDNEY, BEHIND YOU!
Sidney's head darts to the right and throws out her arms catching Ghostface's ax. He kicks her in the chest snapping her back towards the balcony's edge. Tatum runs forward, but Ghostface slashes at her with his ax. Randy manages to hold her back and the ax cuts through part of her shirt.
Ghostface attacks again, but Randy tackles him into the railing and tries to wrestle the ax out of his grip. Ghostface throws Randy off him and slashes at Jessica's neck. She dodges and punches Ghostface in his lower stomach. He recoils, but parries her second punch and strikes her to the floor. He raises his ax up to strike, but Sidney grabs him and pulls them both back through a set of double doors into another room.
The sound of their struggle can be heard and Randy rushes to provide aid. He collides with the door, which refuses to open.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY DIFFERENT ROOM-NIGHT
Ghostface has lodged his ax in between the double doors to keep them shut. Sidney stands a few feet away from Ghostface with a look of ferocity on her face.
GHOSTFACE: Ready for the end Sidney?
Sidney pulls up part of her skirt to reveal a knife holster. She unsheathes a knife identical to the one Jade used. She can still hear Jade's advice of "Use it well" echo in her mind.
SIDNEY: Bring it!
CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO HOSPITAL-NIGHT
Gale observes the camera for a few seconds more. A shadow casting behind her and slowly growing. She sets the camera down slowly as if she could feel something was wrong. On instinct, Gale throws her hands up around her neck and catches someone's arm attempting to slit her throat. The assailant pulls one of Gale's arms behind her back so hard she nearly dislocates it.
ATTACKER: Hi Gale.
GALE (Scared): Rachel? You're alive?
Gale looks back at the table and sees Rachel's body gone.
CUT TO:
INT. GALE'S HOME-NIGHT
Molly and Courtney are about to continue their activities when something smashes through one of the glass doors. Molly steps in front of Courtney as another Ghostface steps inside the house. Molly sprints forward, jumps over the couch, and lands a solid kick against Ghostface's chest. Ghostface falls back and hits the back of his head against one of the kitchen drawers.
Molly runs back to Courtney, picks her up, and rushes up the stairs to her room. She sets her inside and runs to the door.
MOLLY: Don't come out till I say so!
And she slams the door shut. Molly looks back at the stair case panting slightly. She makes her way down the stairs ready for anything. Gale's cordless phone rings and Molly inspects the living room. Looking over every last place that could serve as a hiding place. There is no sign of Ghostface at all. Molly decides to answer the phone right when it goes to the machine.
MOLLY: Hello.
GHOSTFACE (Menacingly): Hello Molly. Do you want to die tonight?

A/N: Finally! It's finished...wait a minute. This is only the second part of this chapter...NOOO! Hahaha! Kidding. I hope you enjoyed this chapter plus the surprise I had at the end. Even though a lot just transpired at the end of this chapter, it's only the beginning.
