Chapter 8

Sidney pulled up into her driveway. Her house was small and secluded on the edge of Woodsboro. She had just dropped Gale off and she needed to be alone and in somewhere she knew was safe. The house looked creepy from the outside, being surrounded by woods, but on the inside, it was safe. The door was locked with four locks and a keypad which she only knew the combination to. She had security cameras all along the house and she has three security systems. No one would be able to come around without Sidney knowing. Sidney pulled into the garage and shut it. She walked inside the house and quickly checked the security cameras from the past couple of days. Nothing but quietness.

She sat on the couch and stared at the family photo she has on her coffee table. There were two pictures. One of her mother, her father, and herself and another one of Andrea, Ellie, her father, and herself. Now all of them were dead except Ellie and herself. She had no one to comfort her. Dewey was gone. Gale was an emotional wreck. She had no real friends. She was alone.

The phone rang. She answered, "Hello?"

"Hello Sidney."

Sidney looked around. "How did you get this number?"

"More like how did I get into the house."

Her eyes widened. She grabbed a gun from underneath the coffee table. She got up from the couch and looked around. "Where the fuck are you?"

"Right here."

Ghostface jumped out of the closet. Sidney fell backwards and shot the gun. Nothing came out. Ghostface opened his hand and bullets fell to the ground. Sidney stared in disbelief. She threw the gun at him and ran down the hallway to the bedroom. She looked over her shoulder and he was right behind her. She slammed the door shut and locked it. She ran to the window and tugged on it. It wasn't budging. She looked back at the door and it was starting to crack. Sidney looked up and saw that the window was locked. She quickly unlocked it and opened the window. She climbed out and looked around. Where is she going to go? The door busted open and she looked back. Ghostface ran to the window. Sidney grabbed the top of the roof and started climbing. Ghostface grabbed her ankle and tugged. She screamed and let go of the shingle. She fell backwards off the roof.

Sidney looked around, dazed. The darkness shielded everything from sight. Finally everything focused and Sidney looked around. Ghostface wasn't in the window anymore. She looked towards the backdoor and a shadow grew through the glass. Sidney got up and stumbled into the woods behind her. She ran behind a tree and looked over to the edge of the woods. Ghostface scanned the woods for her. He started walking her way. She ran silently deeper into the woods. She stopped behind another tree and tried to slow her breathing. She looked back and saw no one. But she couldn't stop. She had to keep going. The road wasn't that far ahead. She looked back and Ghostface came into view. She quickly turned back around and waited. Almost ready to run, she looked back to see Ghostface looking for her again.

Her eyes grew wide as a buzzing in her pocket started going off. Her phone rang to full volume. She looked back and saw Ghostface look in her direction. They locked eyes for a second. He began running towards her. Sidney grabbed her phone out of her pocket and flipped it open. She yelled into the phone, "Help!"

"Sidney? What's going on?" Gale asked.

Sidney started to run when Ghostface grabbed her arm and through her into the tree. Sidney dropped the phone into the leaves that covered the ground. Ghostface raised the knife above Sidney's chest. She grabbed his arm and pushed him away from her. She ran in the direction of the road. Ghostface grabbed her ankle and tugged. She fell into the leaves and twisted around. She kicked Ghostface in the face and he let go over her. She got up and ran for the road. The road got closer and closer into view. She got to the edge of the woods and saw headlights coming around the corner. Sidney ran into the road and waved her arms for the person to stop.

The car stopped in front of her and she saw that it was Gale. Sidney jumped into the car and shouted for Gale to drive to the police department. The car sped off.
