The Sawyer home was in a generally quiet neighborhood. Not too many people lived out in the middle of nowhere. Though the surrounding area was rather dark, the large house was lit up like a firecracker with strobe lights shining through the windows. An old style house it was all wood and angles, two stories with enough room for plenty of people. She even had an in ground pool in the backyard. This was the one time of year that Hayden could really let herself go. The only person who lived in the house was her mom, who once a year took a trip with some friends to escape small town life for a while. The party was already in full swing, music blasting loudly down the street. So loud, even that it was all you could hear for a while down the road.
Brandon pulled in quickly to an open spot on the front lawn before jumping out of the car. Running around the other side to open Ashley's door and let the Dani and Nikki out from the back. They were all ready and raring to enjoy themselves, or at least take their minds off the recent events. Ashley was wearing a pair of skinny jeans and her cropped jacket with a white blouse. Dani and Nikki were much the same, dark jeans paired with plain t-shirts, Dani's green one paired with a brown leather jacket and Nikki's black one with a gray sweatshirt over it.
"I am pumped!" Brandon exclaimed, throwing a fist in the air. A complete 360 from his attitude earlier.
"Wow, it's not really that exciting babe." Ashley laughed, taking one of Brandon's hands in hers.
"Are you kidding me? You're the one who's been all "Party of the year!" and "We can't miss this!" about it." Nikki said from behind the couple as the group began making their way inside.
"So…I'm a little gung ho about it. There aren't many parties like this. I'm savoring the moment." Ashley said, quickening her pace past a necking couple on the porch.
"Public indecency much?" Ashley asked sarcastically before entering the home, the front door wide open.
Walking into the room the change in mood was rather obvious. The music had a hard fast beat; everyone was crowded around each other, talking, dancing, and drinking.
"Where's Hayden?" Dani asked, now scanning the large crowd of partygoers for her friend.
"I think that's her on the stage!" Brandon shouted, pointing at what could be a slightly drunk Hayden standing on a small stage being handed a mike.
The song was slowly ending and soon there was a bright spotlight, from railing on the second floor landing, that over looked the large room, on Hayden.
"Hello Woodsboro! This. Is. Stab-A-Thon 2011!" Hayden yelled out to the now cheering and fist-pumping crowd.
"Now tonight, we're gonna do things a little different then usually. We are going to watch STAB…in reverse! Starting with number six all the way to the original!" Hayden yelled out, trying to get the crowd pumped up. They complied, whooping and hollering to the high heavens.
"Alright, it will be just one-" Hayden was swiftly interrupted by a person dressed as ghost face running across the small stage and down through the crowd, all the way past Dani, who jumped into the wall from fear. The crowd loved it, yelling louder than before.
"That was why we need to do this more often." Hayden laughed a little, still in a bit of shock by what happened. "Now we will have the movie up momentarily, until then, grab a drink, grab a seat, grab your date, cause it's gonna hurt!" Hayden laughed and bowed before rushing off the stage to most likely work on getting the film started.
Dani was still shaking; closing her eyes, she tried to regain her breath.
"Dani, you okay?" Ashley asked her, putting her hand on her friends shoulder.
Releasing her breath quickly she opened her eyes, a smile plastered on her face.
"Yeah Ash, I'm cool. I'm gonna go to the bathroom, I'll catch up with you guys." Dani said, heading off in the direction of the restroom.
"She okay?" Nikki asked a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah, I think she'll be fine." Ashley said with a sigh.
"I'm gonna get a drink." Nikki said walking off from the couple.
Brandon, taking control of the situation began pulling Ashley toward an empty seat on the large couch, sitting down and pulling her onto his lap. Ashley smiled before planting a quick kiss on her boyfriends lips, knowing then that tonight was going to go perfectly.
Dani raced into the bathroom, thanking whoever that there wasn't a long line before quickly shutting and locking the door. Breathing a sigh of relief she slumped down, sitting on the closed toilet. She sat there, breathing in and out, her eyes closed she tried to clear her mind.
Doing this for a few minutes, and hearing at least five knocks on the door she stood up and moved to the sink. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she was surprised. She looked exactly like she always did but there was something there, maybe from the lack of sleep or the fear that was constantly following her. She was not sure. Taking a deep breath in and releasing it she shook her head before straightening her shoulders and walking out of the bathroom. A thin blonde girl raced in after her, one hand over her mouth.
Dani scrunched up her nose in disgust before turning down the hall into the large crowd, entering the main room. The movie still hadn't begun and the lights weren't helpful if you were looking for someone. Dani couldn't see any sign of Ashley or Nikki and was getting ready to use her phone and call one of them when she felt a hand grab her arm.
Turning in the direction, she was now face to face with Sean. The boy she had broken up with only mere hours ago. Pulling her arm out of his loose grip Dani turned around, walking though the crowd, not wanting to deal with him now. Even in the crowd, she could hear him behind her, calling her name. Moving quicker, she stopped until she could feel him behind her. Turning around she decided to stop running from her problems.
"What do you want Sean?" She asked, her irritation radiating in the middle of the dancing crowd.
"I want to talk to you, about what happened today." Sean said calmly, moving closer to Dani.
"I don't want to talk Sean; I came here to take my mind off of things not to make my relationship status public information." She said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"No, that's what face book is for." Sean said with a smile before looking at Dani with a serious expression. "Do you want to head to a room? So we can talk in private?" He asked her.
She closed her eyes, calming herself. She didn't really want to but knew that if she didn't he would bother her the rest of the night.
"Okay." She said with a nod. "You get ten minutes." She responded, turning in the crowd and heading up the stairs to the first empty room they could find, Hayden's.
Leaning against the banister on the second floor was Nikki, patiently waiting for the movie to begin. She had just seen Dani and Sean enter Hayden's bedroom, she was sure they could handle themselves and decided to stay out of it and nurse her drink instead. She was just getting ready to head downstairs for a refill when the lights began dimming and the Sunrise Studios logo appeared on the large screen.
The crowd, Nikki included, whooped and hollered at the beginning of the movie, or more precisely the beginning of "Stab 6" in "Stab 7" in the real Stab 6. It was all very confusing, most likely some hack writers' way of trying to sneak in some kind of subtext to the dribble they write in these movies. God, she loved this series. Ghostface quickly went through the fake Stab girls and it was now at one of Nikki's favorite scenes. Jenna was trying to explain the film to Marley.
"You're over thinking it." Nikki said along with Jenna, knowing the film word for word.
"Am I or did whoever make it just under think it?" A voice said from beside her.
Turning she saw Trevor not too far away, his own drink in his hand. He quickly came over, standing next to Nikki, leaning onto the banister watching the movie. Nikki turned her attention back to the movie, not wanting Trevor to think his presence had any effect on her at all.
"If I apologize for earlier do you think you would want to watch the movie together?" Trevor asked a nervous tone to his voice.
"We are watching it together." Nikki said with a slight smirk on her face.
"You know what I mean." Trevor said, still a little nervous, his head turned away from Nikki.
She stood there, the smirk playing on her face, not saying anything.
"I'm sorry." Trevor spit out quickly.
Turning towards him the smirk now very evident on her face Nikki lightly slugged Trevor in his arm before letting out a quick laugh.
"Wow Trev, you really are a big softy." She said before moving in closer to him, her focus slowly returning to the movie.
Trevor was in awe of the situation and just a bit confused. Forgetting it all he smiled a big goofball smile and, deciding that he could take just a little bit more of a risk, put his arm over Nikki's shoulder. Blushing, he began watching the movie again as Nikki moved in even closer, resting her head on him.

A patrol car drove down the street slowly before stopping as close to the Sawyer house as possible. Getting out of the car in a rushed manner Nate shut the door soundly before walking to the front door, past numerous partiers and walking in the front door.
Once entering he was immediately bombarded by an explosion of music coming from large speakers set up all around the house. Looking around he began walking past partygoers who had parted like the red sea, trying to keep as far from the cop as possible in the cramped space. Turning his head from side to side, surveying the area, trying to find… there. He spotted Ashley and Brandon on the couch, lounging together in front of the large screen. Rushing towards the younger girl she saw him almost instantly, tensing up she jumped up from where she had been leaning on Brandon's shoulder. Nate stopped in front of her, a nervous look on his face.
"Where's Dani?" He asked in a hasty manner.
"I don't know. Why? What happened?" Ashley asked, sensing the nervousness in the young officer.
Shuffling and looking away Nate seemed almost pained at having to say anything. He turned back towards Ashley, mouth open to answer when he was interrupted by a high-pitched noise. Turning towards the stage, Hayden was standing in the center, microphone in hand.
"Who let the fuzz in?" She asked into the microphone in a harsh tone. Jumping down from the stage and making her way towards Nate. Albeit a little shaky and almost unable to walk in a straight line.
"Everything here is completely legal officer. Or at least as far as anyone can prove." She said once reaching him, slurring her words a bit.
Ignoring the inebriated girl, he once again returned his attention towards Ashley.
"Where is Dani?" This time his voice seemed more urgent, he had to know where she was.
Looking up towards the second floor Ashley shared a quick look with Nikki, who seemed a bit taken aback before gesturing towards the bedroom.
SCREAMSCREAMSCREAM
"You know it wasn't fair what you did Dani." Sean said, leaning against one of the pristine walls.
"I did it for your safety Sean. I don't want you to get hurt." She said, sitting on the bed, trying to reassure her ex.
"No, you didn't. You thought you were keeping yourself safe. It's not me Dani. I didn't do it." He said, moving toward Dani, getting down on the floor in front of her.
"If you're not the killer then you're a target. You need to stay away from me Sean." DanI said, standing up and walking past him towards the door.
"Dani, I can protect you." Sean said, the fight leaving his voice.
Her hand on the handle Dani stops, turning back towards Sean.
"No, you can't." She said, tears brimming in her eyes.
Just as she was turning back to open the door and leave there was a torrent of screaming and yelling coming from the other side of the door. Figuring it was the movie Dani walked out of the room, there were groups of people rushing past her down the stairs and out of the large house. Confused Dani just got a glimpse of Nikki by the banister, her eyes transfixed on the screen, her face a mask of horror. Looking towards the large screen a gasp escaped Dani's throat as she covered her mouth and backed away from the screen.
There, for everyone to see was Holly Hale lying on a floor that was being stained red with her blood. From off-screen, a knife was continuously coming into screen and being thrust into the reporter's body. Blood was pouring from her mouth, her hair and body looked slick and shiny with blood.
Trying to keep herself from being sick Dani backed up before hitting a wall and sliding down, tears falling from her eyes. People kept running past her, now less and less but still a large amount, when she heard a familiar voice from downstairs.
"Everyone please remain calm. You cannot leave. This is a murder investigation and you are all suspects!" The voice was coming out of the speakers before it was interrupted by another familiar voice that Dani recognized immediately as Hayden.
"Get out of my house! Everybody leave now! Get that video down! Who is doing this? It isn't funny!" Hayden was ranting loudly as people continued out of the house.
Dani looked around now, seeing Trevor and Nikki had disappeared as well as everyone else. She cringed in an instant when the house lights turned on in an instant. When her eyes had adjusted, she stood, walking towards the balcony where she saw Nate, Hayden, Ashley, and Brandon standing around in the middle of the room. Nate seemed irritated and the others were more scared and nervous.
"Hey!" Dani yelled waving down at her friends. The small group jumped at the loud noise, Nate pulled his gun out of his holster quickly, aiming it in Dani's direction. Dani ducked immediately behind the banister, out of the guns line of fire.
"Shit." Nate muttered as he remoistened his gun. Ashley sighed relied, looking up at her friend who was standing up. "Thank god you're okay." She said before rushing up the stairs.
"Where are Nikki and Trevor?" Dani asked, becoming more afraid of the situation. The video still playing on the screen.
"I'm not sure. I thought they were up here. They must have left when the crowd ran out." Ashley said, trying to keep her friend calm. "Why were you up here?" She asked.
"I was talking to Sean…" Dani said before eyeing the door behind Ashley, not sure, if she saw him leave or not. Walking towards the door slowly Dani gripped the handle tightly, Ashley right behind her, before thrusting the door open to see…
An empty room.
"Sean must have left too..." She said a hurt tone in her voice. He was doing a great job of protecting her.
"We can't worry about him we have to go. Now." Ashley said, grabbing Dani by her arm and heading down the stairs quickly to join the group.
"Is there anyone else in the house?" Nate asked, looking as irritated as possible.
"No, I don't know. Maybe yes, ugh!" Hayden said before crashing into a seat. Exasperated by the situation.
"Look, the killer could be anywhere. They could be here now. Holly Hale is dead, that means he has killed four people and be very willing to kill more people." Nate said.
There was a collective unsettling as the small group took in the new information. Brandon's grip on Ashley became stronger, pulling her closer to him. A shiver ran down Dani's spine as Hayden sat in contemplation before shooting out of her seat.
"You need to leave! Get out of my house now!" Hayden began hollering at her friends.
"What the hell is wrong with you? The killer could be right outside the front door!" Ashley yelled.
"I don't care. I am not a target okay. The killer is repeating the original murders. I. Don't. Die. But you do. Now get out of my house!"
Ashley punched Hayden straight in the face. Sending the girl rocketing to the floor. Brandon grabbed his girlfriend by her arms, holding her back from attacking the girl even more.
"Shut up! Your theories are fucking bullshit! There is a man out there trying to kill us! All of us! You self centered uncaring b-"
"Stop!" Nate shouted. Interrupting Ashley mid rant.
"There is a killer out there. Who could be anywhere. Turning on each other is not the thing to be doing right now." Nate paused for a moment, taking in a deep breath and exhaling slowly. Calmly he went back to the conversation at hand. "I'm going to head out to my car, call in for back. You stay here. Together. I'll be right back."
Ashley's eyes widened at the last sentence. She opened her mouth to say something but was instantly quieted by a look from Dani. They both knew the "rules" but maybe it wasn't the right time to say anything.
Nate heads straight out the front door towards his car. There's a few vehicles parked around the yard, it is very clear that there are others still at the house. Walking down the road Nate shines his flashlight onto the sides of the road, into the dark night. His other hand, ready on his gun.
He reaches his car with no problem. Breathing a sigh of relief, he opens the front door of his cruiser…
As his cell phone goes off.

"Where the hell did Nikki go?" Dani asked Ashley, watching Nate out the front window.
"I don't know. She must have left with Trevor." Ashley answered, hoping it was true.
"Yeah, that must have been it…Hey Br-" Turning to say something to Brandon, Dani stopped. An empty room behind her and Ashley. Ashley turned too, hearing the sudden silence behind her.
"What the fuck!" Ashley expelled. Walking into the middle of the room, exasperated.
"Calm down. Maybe they just went to the bathroom." Dani said trying to calm her friend down.
"Together? Please."
"It could hap-"
The sound of glass shattering again stopped Dani mid sentence. Both girls shared a look before moving together, heading in the direction of the sound. Walking down the hall the two girls held each other tightly, moving slowly, watching everything around them. Turning one more corner, they entered the kitchen. A large island sat in the middle of the room. Obscuring half of the ground. Hearing some slight noise the girls moved closer to the island. Peering over slowly as-
Brandon pops up!
Holding broken glass in his bleeding hand.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Ashley asked, rushing around to help him.
"Yeah, just broke a glass and tried to pick it up. Stupid idea." He said disposing of the trash and letting Ashley lead him to the sink to run cold water over his wound.
"What the hell were you doing taking off like that?" She asked him.
"I was thirsty."
"You're so immature sometimes, you know."
"Hey Brandon, where's Hayden?" Dani asked.
"Uh, she's not with you?" He asked perplexed.
SCREAMSCREAMSCREAM
"Hello?" Nate said into the phone.
"Hello Officer, I'd like to report a murder." The voice replied.
"This isn't exactly the number to call for something like that. Try 911." Nate said back, a little wary of the conversation.
"Oh no. I think you'd like you to know about this one Officer. You see, the victim is very close to you." The voice said, eerily and as mysteriously as possible.
"Who is this?" Nate asked, not into being messed with.
"You know me better than you than you think you do Nate. And you know I can't resist playing a game."
"I'm not really into games, asshole." Nate said into the phone, irritation showing.
"Oh but you have no choice Nate. Now its time to play a game of hide and seek. I find you before you find me you die. You find me first, and you die!" The voice growled into the phone ominously.
"Fuck you!" Nate said, slamming his car door as he begins surveying the area. His gun aimed with one hand his phone in another. Walking back towards the house he listened on the phone for any clues to where the killer may be.
"Find me yet?" Ghostface asked, mockingly.
"When I do, the first thing I'll do is shoot you in the face."
"Such harsh words. For a walking corpse!"
Nate stopped suddenly, fear now truly showing on his face. He turns quickly, looking through the dense woods surrounding the grounds. Looking towards the woods, he sees abrupt movement amongst the trees. Moving towards them, he hears Ghostface's breathing through the receiver. As if he could really feel the mocking call on his neck. Walking through the low hanging tree branches, he moves into a clearing where he finds…nothing.
"Come on you fucker. No more games. Where are you!" Nate yells into the receiver.
"Right here!" Ghostface yells from above Nate. Diving down from the treetop, landing square on Nate, sending the police officer sprawling to the ground. The two fight, tumbling and turning on the bare ground. Nate's gun fly's out of his hands into the dense thicket. He rolls over onto the masked figure, pinning the figure before belting his assailants face with harsh blows. Ghostface knees him hard into the stomach, sending the officer off to the side. Moving swiftly to their knees the figure raises his knife in his hands, plunging it through the air towards Nate. Who rolls swiftly to the side out of the path of the knife. He moves to stand, rushing towards where he was sure his gun had gone. His attacker too stands, lunging and digging their knife deep into his back.
"Ahh!" Nate screams out in agony as he falls to the ground. Reaching for his gun mere inches away. He tries to pull himself across the dirty ground slowly, fighting even as the figure standing above him becomes more and more terrifying. The Ghost takes his knife in his hand, playing with it, toying with the wounded cop. He kicks him over onto his back, making him scream out in pain again. An expression of fierce agony is on Nate's face as he looks into his murders face. The Ghost quirks its head in its signature way. Nate's mouth contorts as he tries to utter his final words through gritted teeth.
"Go to hell!"
Straightening his head Ghostface stands, preceding to once again lunge upon Nate like a lone animal on the hunt. Driving his knife into the cop's body repeatedly
SCREAMSCREAMSCREAM
"Hayden! Come on, quit playing around!" Ashley yelled walking back towards the empty living room.
Brandon and Dani followed closely behind both hollering out for the missing girl themselves. Ashley stops in the middle of the room, tossing her arms up dramatically, looking up towards the second floor. Huffing she crosses her arms, turning to look towards her two companions.
"She has to be upstiars. I guess we should go look for her." She says solemnly, heading towards the staircase. Brandon too moves to follow her while Dani stands back, looking towards the front door before turning back to her friends.
"I think I'm gonna stay here. Wait for Officer Porter to get back." Dani said, gesturing towards the door.
"Alright. We'll be quick, I swear." Ashley said, rushing up the stairs. Brandon follows, turning back towards Dani a small grin on his face.
"Scream if you see anything."
"Sure." Dani replied unfocused, eyes now trained on the front door.
The dating duo finished their trek upstairs, beginning to check in each room. Dani stood, her arms crossed as she watched the front door. She turned slightly; looking around her to make sure no one was there. Turning back towards the front door, she saw…nothing. Sighing she shook her head before, her cell phone went off. Causing her to jump, Dani quickly pulled the phone from her pocket, bringing the small device to her ear.
"Hello?" She asked even though she knew who it already was.
"Hello Dani." The voice said with its ominous tone.
"What do you want from me?" She asked as the fear rose up her back, causing her hairs to stand on end.
"I want to play a game."
"I don't. Leave me alone." Dani said, not wanting to feed into the killers wants.
"Oh Dani, I wish I could. But you see I have some friends of yours here and their counting on you." The voice said with a mocking tone.
"What?" Dani said confused.
"Come to the backdoor. You'll see then." The voice said more as a command than a suggestion.
Looking up towards the stairwell Dani inhaled deeply before making her way slowly to the back of the house. Turning into the long hall the walk seemed to take forever. Her heart began beating faster and faster the closer she became. Entering the still empty kitchen, she continued walking towards the glass double doors leading to the backyard patio. It was pitch black outside and nothing could be seen from inside.
"Turn on the lights" The voice, said menacingly after the long silence. Making Dani again jump out of her skin. Her hand shaking she reached over to the light switch, flicking it quickly. The lights shine brightly, lighting up the outside world. Dani looked slowly towards the bright patio and screamed shortly at the sight.
Nikki and Trevor were tied up and gagged outside. Trevor very much like Steven Orth before him was tied to a patio chair. He looked as if her had been beaten but was still alive and somewhat aware of what was going on. Nikki was next to him. Tied up against the banister holding her in mid air. She too was beaten and bloody but alive, her head hung down on her chest. She was unconscious.
"Oh my god!" Dani screamed as she moved to open the doors.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" The voice yelled at her. Dani slammed the door shut again, making Trevor fully alert. The trapped boy began struggling against his bonds, unable to loosen them he looked over to Nikki and then at Dani, pure fear in his eyes.
"It's time to play a game Dani. I'm going to ask you some questions. You lose one of them die, you win…the other one dies!" The voice yells into the receiver.
"How do I know you won't just kill them both?" Dani asks, tears now rolling down her cheeks.
"Dani, Dani, Dani, what kind of a person do you take me for. I'm a Ghost of my word. Or I could just slit them both open now before I break your pretty little neck!" The voice yelled into the phone.
"No! I'll play…I'll play." Dani said, looking around the room now, wondering where Ashley and Brandon were. The voice laughed into the receiver before pausing to ask his question.
"First question, who was the killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer?"
"It was…uh Ben…Ben Willis!" Dani shouted. It was one of the few movies Ashley made her watch that she actually enjoyed.
"Right, you're good. Now tell me, how many victims were there in the original Nightmare on Elm Street?"
"Uh…" Dani paused needing to think for a second.
"Tick tock tick tock. Give up yet?" The voice said mocking the young girl.
"Four! There was only four!" Dani yelled out.
"Good guess…Now for your final question. Who played the heroine in Halloween?"
"Jamie Lee Curtis!" Dani answered; proud of herself for knowing she was right.
"I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer." The voice said with its smooth but malevolent tone.
"What? No, it was Jamie Lee Curtis. I've seen that movie hundreds of times!" She yelled, trying not to break down.
"I didn't say it was the original heroine. Scout Taylor Compton played Laurie Strode in the remake."
"You tricked me." Dani said, her eyes catching Trevor's, still looking purely petrified.
"Doesn't matter. You lose. Now someone dies!"
Suddenly Ghostface springs from the side of the house. Ending up in front of Trevor's chair. Dani can see nothing behind the dark figure. She moves closer to the glass door, banging on it, screaming for the Ghost to get away from him. Moving away suddenly Dani backed away in horror. Trevor had been gutted, his stomach and organs spilling out onto the floor and his throat slit. Dani took in low sharp breathes as the Ghost moved closer to the door. Tapping his bloody knife on the glass door before pointing it back in the yard, towards Nikki.
"No!" Dani screamed out, slamming herself against the glass door as the Ghost stalked off towards Nikki who was still unconscious.
"Stay away from her! Do you here me!" Dani was screaming, trying to distract him when out of nowhere she sees a figure move quickly into the back yard. Catching her and the killer's attention.
"Hey fucker! Let's see if you can take me!"
It was Brandon, hollering and jumping around trying to get Ghostface's full attention. It seemed to work as looking between Nikki and Brandon the figure turned towards Brandon, stalking in his direction.
"Shit…" Brandon muttered as he took off away from the back yard, towards the front of the house. Ghostface was hot on his trail, leaving Nikki and Dani alone. Moving quickly Dani rushed back into the kitchen, grabbing one of the knives from the block on the island in the middle of the room. Running back to the patio door she thrust it open and ran out.
Straight into Ashley who was coming from the side of the house. Screaming quickly both girls quieted down after their instant freak out.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ashley ask/yelled in a hush tone.
"I was coming out here to get Nikki down. Where the hell have you been?" Dani asked as she went to cut the ropes keeping Nikki tied up.
"We were checking out upstairs when we thought we saw something going on out here. We came running out, saw…saw what happened to Trevor and then Brandon and his stupid ass ran off. Oh god I hope he's okay."
"Okay. The ropes cut. Help me catch her." Dani said, grabbing one side of Nikki as Ashley put Nikki's arm around her neck, moving to support her injured friend. The two helped to carry the young girl fast away. Towards the woods at the edge of the house. Running as fast as they possibly could they moved straight into a clearing through the trees where they stopped suddenly at the site of Officer Porter's dead body. The dark blood pulling in the green grass. The girls screamed, before turning, moving even faster through the woods before stopping behind a large tree. Sitting Nikki down the other girls kneeled down, looking back towards the house.
"I have to go back." Dani said, standing up.
"The hell you do!" Ashley yelled again in a hushed tone, pulling Dani back down.
"I have to. This is about me Ashley. If I don't finish it now he'll just come back again. Stay here with Nikki. If you see a chance to get away go!" Dani said, standing again and moving back to the house slowly.
