Chapter 10: The Finale

Esmé pushed herself up and her lips touched his. She kissed him with passion and he kissed back. But suddenly something raced through his mind, because he stopped. Much to the displeasure of both…

'Sorry, I'm on duty', said Charlie.

Both of them laughed and Esmé rolled her head to the right. Suddenly her eyes went wide open, but not from pleasure or something else related to what just happened. Her eyes popped open because there it was. 'Is that what you're looking for?'

Charlie was suddenly serious: 'My whole life.'

Esmé looked at him and just smiled. Then she pushed his head to what she was looking at. Charlie got immediately up and turned his flashlight back on. 'Dam!' said Charlie.

'What?'

'That's my brother's car', answered Charlie. Now Charlie doubted. His brother was the killer or not! Either way… 'We have to go back!'

Bella putted her shirt back on and so did Mike. His white T-shirt was off some minutes ago, but now they were finished with it.

'Are you okay?' asked Mike while he looked at Bella from the other side of the room.

'Yeah', answered Bella, but it wasn't very convincing. Bella didn't felt like it was so good! Jessica had told her that she was too good for him and his penis. 'Yeah, I'm fine!' Bella brushed her hair with a (borstel) and then she laid it next to the phone on a desk. Then something hit Bella and she said: 'Who did you call?'

'What?'

'Oh well, I don't know. When you're arrested, they let you to have one phone call so I'm just curious', said Bella.

'I called my dad', answered Mike.

'Sheriff Biggle called your dad, I saw that', replied Bella.

'Yeah, when I called him, nobody picked up.'

'Huh', said Bella.

Mike putted his shoes on, but then he got suspicious. He looked at Bella and how she got dressed and then he asked: 'You don't still think that it was me, do you?'

Bella gulped, but turned around: 'No!' She giggled and smiled at him. 'No, I just thought if you were the killer, you must have had a clever way to throw me out of track. You know, using the one phone call to call me, wouldn't be that stupid. In fact it would be smart to call me so nobody suspected you then.'

'Really?'

Bella just smiled at him, but he looked angry so she stopped smiling. Mike got up from where he was sitting and he walked over to the bed. 'What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm not the killer?' asked Mike in a serious way.

'Oh my god', whispered Bella.

'Huh?'

Bella saw something moving behind Mike. A shadow, but when she looked better she saw that it was a black cloth. And it had a white mask above it. Ghost Face! He raised his knife.

'Oh my god!'

'Bella!'

'Mike, watch out!' said Bella and she got up from the bed.

Mike turned around and saw Ghost Face. Ghost Face plunged his knife into Mike's chest. Bella cried! Mike was stabbed again in his side. And then he was stabbed again in his chest. Some blood flew on Bella's face. Mike turned around and Bella saw his white shirt turning red. Bella cried further. Mike raised his hand for help and Bella raised hers while her eyes were filled with her tears. Ghost Face pushed Mike with his pink and Mike fell on the bed. Bella jumped. She looked at Ghost Face who was cleaning his knife with his black covered fingers. He came to her. Bella jumped on the bed and Ghost Face missed her. Bella ran away, but Ghost Face was after her.

Bella went through a door and locked it. She ran further and came to the other side of the house where there was also a stairs for going down. Bella saw that it was the same. It led to the same stairs that she got up with. Suddenly was Ghost Face in front of her. He took the way back! Bella ran back too and she entered another room. She took the clinch from the door and threw it back. Ghost Face ran into it and he fell on the ground with a loud bam. Bella ran into another room and locked the door again. She pushed a surfboard in front of it. She looked around and saw that it was the attic. She ran to the other side of the room when she heard that Ghost Face was getting up. She came to a little window and saw the van of Esmé. She screamed for help, but no one could hear her.

Bella stepped back, but saw that Ghost Face was opening the door. But he couldn't open it completely because of the surfboard. Bella looked at her right and saw another window. She pushed it open and threw a leg to the other side. Then another and she pushed the rest outside too. She held tight on the window and looked down. It was so high that she would probably fall dead if she landed on her head.

'Help!' screamed Bella.

Then someone grabbed her hands. She looked back and saw Ghost Face. She screamed like hell and she tried to free herself. She pushed backwards and suddenly he just let loose. She screamed when she fell down. Her arms swung in the air and it hurt when she fell on… a boat. She landed on a mattress on a boat. It was Sammy's parents' boat. She rolled off of it and then landed on the ground. She got up and saw that Ghost Face was gone. She looked a bit down, but her eyes popped open. She saw Jessica's head there and the rest of her body hanging there. She was getting sick and wanted to throw up, but instead she cried and ran away.

'No, Jamie', said Eric. He was still watching the film and he hadn't heard the fight above his head, because he was so drunk. 'Watch out, Jamie. You know he's somewhere.'

Ghost Face entered the room through the kitchen and was behind the couch where Eric was lying.

'Jamie, Jamie, look behind you', said Eric. 'Look behind you!' Ghost Face raised his knife. 'Turn around. Turn around, Jamie!' Ghost Face raised it higher, but then…

'Help me!'

Ghost Face heard the screaming from Bella.

Bella was running through the garden of Sammy's house. She reached the edge: the wooden planks. She broke some of them and pushed herself through the opening. She got up and ran to the van. Her hands smacked against the door and Kenny was awake again – yes, he was sleeping. Kenny opened the door and Bella said: 'He's in the house! He's in the house!'

'There is no one in the house. There's a camera, see', said Kenny and he pointed at the screen. But then he saw it too: Ghost Face was coming closer to Eric.

'Behind you, kid!' screamed Kenny.

'Eric!' screamed Bella.

'Behind you, Eric!' screamed Kenny and he opened the door to go to the house. But then something hit him: 'Shit!'

Kenny turned around and Bella asked what was going on.

'There's a thirty seconds delay.' He turned back around, but his throat was slid. Bella screamed and she could only think of one thing: why do people have to die around me? Kenny's blood dripped on the van. He turned around and looked at Bella with apologizing eyes. Like they were saying "sorry that I could/cannot protect you". Bella held her hands in front of her face, but she could still see. Kenny fell on the ground.

Bella looked at Ghost Face and she took the door in her hands so she could close it. But one of Ghost Face's arms shot forward and he could just scratch her shoulder. Bella screamed because it did hurt. She looked around and saw a little opening in the back of the van. She crawled to it while Ghost Face opened the door after retrieving his arm again. He saw Bella going through the little hole and wanted to follow her. But she was on time: she fell on the ground, but got quickly up again. Ghost Face was mad about this when he reached the little hole.

Bella ran while the blood came dripping out of her shoulder. She jumped over a bench and then reached another wooden end, but this time of a field. She crawled over it and ran passed a little house for gardening tools.

Charlie and Esmé were running towards the house and they finally reached it. Charlie held his gun up and he ducked behind his car. Esmé followed him like she was his shadow.

'Is there a telephone in the van?' asked Charlie.

'Yes', answered Esmé.

'Lock yourself in it, call the sheriff for backup and drive away', said Charlie while giving her the flashlight. He turned around towards the house and he ran.

Esmé yelled after him: 'Be careful!'

Charlie slowly entered the house. He didn't want to take any risk. Then he heard a scream. He looked around and slowly stepped to where it came from. He heard someone shaking like a leaf and then someone else doing a sound. 'Charles?' he asked.

He jumped around the corner and held his gun up. He was pointing with it at the television. It was the film! He thought that that scream sounded familiar. It was Jamie Lee Curtis! He loved that actress. Especially in "Freaky Friday". He understood the role she was playing, well, in the beginning after all.

Esmé ran to her van and yelled: 'Kenny, I need the mobile phone.' She reached the van and looked in it. No single person was there. She saw on the screen that there was no one in the living room. 'Kenny.' She turned around and took one step. 'Kenny! Kenneth!'

She turned back around and then heard a weird noise underneath her feet. She looked down and the first that she saw was blood underneath the van and then a whole pool on the ground. She was standing in it and her red heals were turning even redder. Now she was scared! She hopped into the van and went to the front. She took the mobile phone, but was so trembling that she couldn't dial the numbers. She locked the doors first and the door in the back. She almost forgot that little one and locked that too. Her fingers weren't trembling anymore and she took place on a seat in the front. She dialed 911. Suddenly someone was next to the van in front of the window.

It was Eric and he asked: 'What's going on?'

Esmé just had someone on the line, but she screamed and threw the phone to him. It hurt Eric and she smacked him again with something. Eric fell on the ground from the pain on his head. The windows! Esmé closed the windows and started the car. Lights went on and then she saw that her front window was red. She thought it was on her side, but it was on the outside because she tried to rob it off. She started those things on the van – that she could not recall the name of it on that moment (and neither can I because my internet is slow) – and the red liquid was pushed together. 'Oh my god!' whispered Esmé. 'Blood!' What kinda sick mind does that?

She drove backwards and then hit the brakes. She heard something sliding on the window in front of her. She looked and screamed: 'Kenny!' His shirt was red too and his mouth hung a bit open, but the worst were his eyes: they kept looking at her. Esmé screamed again and drove like mad. 'I'm so sorry Kenny, but get off OF MY FUCKING VAN!' Kenny slid down the window and landed on the ground with a weird sound. She looked back and then her eyes went back to the road in front of her.

Bella came out of the bushes and swung her arms: 'STOP!' Esmé screamed and avoided the girl on the road. She was hyperventilating when she got in the grass. She screamed when she went down a hill. She saw a tree coming closer and she screamed one last time. Then the van hit the tree and everything was quiet.

Bella cried again, thinking of the phrase she had said to herself: people die around me. Bella ran towards the house again and saw her father's car. 'Charlie!' She looked around, but she kept running. 'Charlie, where are you? Dad?' She stepped into the garden. 'Charlie!' The front door opened and Bella saw Charlie coming out. 'Charlie!' He had a weird expression on his face.

'Bella', whispered Charlie and he fell on one of the poles from the porch. Bella saw the knife in his back. He fell down on the ground.

'Charlie!' said Bella and she cried. Now even her dad was gone! She didn't care anymore for who it was. She just cared for to get away from who it was.

Ghost Face came through the door too. He just looked at Bella. By the movements he did, you could tell that he was angry. He took the knife out of Charlie's back. Bella had already turned around and ran to the police car from her dad. Probably her dead dad! She ran past it and didn't notice it until she saw it. She ran to the door and she settled herself in the car. She saw Ghost Face approaching and locked that door. Ghost Face ran to the other side. The window went up and Bella locked that door too. She saw Ghost Face now on the other side and mocked at him for a second. She searched the keys, but they were nowhere to be found. Ghost Face tapped with his knife on the window and Bella looked. He had the keys!

He suddenly went down and Bella didn't see him anymore.
