Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the Scream film or television series. I do not own any characters or places within this story. There will be places that do not exist (kinda obvious as Woodsboro itself is a fictional town), and there will be places that do i.e. Walmart, McDonald's, Six Flags, and others that I also DO NOT own...
In this story there will be multiple differences from the film series (i.e. Sidney's father is still alive), but that is to aid in how the story will flow along. (In saying Sidney's father is alive, I should say was alive as of the 2011 movie, the character of Neil actually died not long before the start of my story)
I will have a few Original Characters, these are going to be the main focus of the story, and they are kids of Ghostface victims and those to wear the Ghostface mask themselves.
There are characters in this story that were mentioned on screen but never seen, like Karen Kolcheck, and I will have face claims for them as some of these off screen characters will have a part in this story.

Present Day
11:45 a.m.
Hallie had just managed to pick up her phone since she had seen the news that morning. A message. From Drew.
{11:30 p.m. From Drew}
{just made it to my room, crashing as i type. night hal}
She had totally forgotten that she asked Drew to text her when he got home. He did. It wasn't like she needed to worry about him now, as he was at her house, but two of their classmates had been murdered last night. Classmates whose homes weren't too far from any of their own. Any one of them could have been hurt last night. Why Scott and Carlie?
Hallie walked from her living room and through her kitchen towards the backyard. She opened the glass french doors and walked out to see Mark sitting on the dark brown wicker patio bench her mother had bought that summer, Kirrah was swinging on the a-frame swing by the greenhouse, and Drew was sitting on one of the pool chairs next to the 10 foot long pool her father had installed when she was 10. She felt a wave of relief finding her friends still there. They were safe together.
"Hey, you okay?" Kirrah asked from across the yard.
Hallie nodded, "Yeah, just thinking about Scott's and Carlie's parents and siblings."
Drew laid back in the chair and sighed. He and Scott had never been best friends, but the guy was good person. He couldn't understand why someone would kill him. Scott could be a drill sergeant sometimes in practice, but that didn't warrant being slaughtered. He startled slightly when Hallie sat next to his left leg.
"Hey. How are you and Mark? I know you guys weren't the best of friends with Scott, and all, but I know he was your teammate and that means something. I understand that."
Drew gave a small smile and nodded, "How do you always know exactly what I am thinking about?"
"Four years of friendship goes along way, Meeseeks," Hallie pecked the side of his cheek before getting up to go to Mark upon realizing that Drew wasn't going to give her and answer.
"Hey, stranger," Mark smiled playfully as Hallie sat down on the bench beside him.
"Hey, how are you guys holding up? Drew won't talk, he's being Drew," Hallie and Mark both chuckled softly.
"Uh, he hasn't talked too much to me about it. I think he's pretty pissed. Him and Scott fought a lot, but God he looked up to Scott's abilities and work ethic. He was always telling people that if anyone would actually make it somewhere to be someone, that it would be Scott, cause they guy had drive. He really did. I'm angry, but I'm not their parents and I know their parents are probably every emotion in the book, at this moment."
Hallie could see the pain on her friends face. He just lost a teammate. It was similar to losing a limb sometimes. A teammate is someone who you grow with and you work with. You learn to rely on them for a lot. Hallie knew how it felt because she also just lost a teammate. They had all just lost someone, and they were all hurting.
"You should go talk to Kirrah. She's been bottling up tears all day," Mark told her gently.
Hallie looked up to see Kirrah with her head down. She was swinging slowly, with her ankles crossed. Hallie couldn't help but walk to her.
"Hey, Kir, how are you?" Hallie reached out and grabbed her hand as she sat beside her.
"I, I - uh, I don't know. Um, Carlie was our friend. We were a team. Why would someone?" Kirrah couldn't form full sentences. It was grief.
Grief. An emotion Hallie understood rather well for someone so young.
She understood grief because of her grandpa Neil. He was her best friend. He was her world outside of her parents.
April 15, 2016
At 13, Hallie could tell you a bunch of things. She could especially tell you when something was wrong with her parents.
Sidney was sitting in her office, quiet was normal, but this quiet was deafening. Stu was nowhere to be found, that is until Hallie found him out at the homemade shooting range with a rifle. If her mom was being this quiet, something was wrong. And Hallie wanted to know what it was. Call her nosy, but she was worried.
"Dad?!" Hallie shouted. She knew he would have something in his ears to protect them from the loud sounds.
Stu turned quickly to see Hallie standing about thirty feet away from him. He put the gun down and walked towards her while taking his ear plugs out.
"Hey, babe-o, what's going on?" Stu hugged her, he could sense that she was upset.
"What's wrong with mom? She's been acting weird all day. I know she's a quiet person, and all, but she's never this quiet."
Hallie looked at her father as his expression changed very quickly. It was solemn. He was also sad.
"Let's go inside, huh?" He ushered her into the house.
Once inside he gave her a bottle of water from the fridge as he sat with her at the kitchen table.
"Do you remember that your Grandpa Neil has been really sick, here lately? So, his doctor's decided to run some tests?"
Hallie nodded. She was starting to get more worried that before. This conversation was about to be very devastating, she could feel it.
"Uh, he, Hallie, Grandpa Neil has stage three brain cancer."
Hallie's breath caught in her throat and she didn't know what to do.
"The doctor's say that he may be able to make it a couple more years. But, at most, Grandpa Neil probably only has another ten months."
Hallie began sobbing quietly. Her world had just been turned upside down.
Grandpa Neil had taken her everywhere she ever wanted. Her first trip to Disney Land, her first trip to Sea World, her first day of school he was there. He was always there. And now he only had a short amount of time left, and Hallie didn't know what to feel.
Present Day
Her parents were sitting in the kitchen at the table when a few cars pulled up. The first, she recognized immediately.
"Kir, what's Uncle Dewey doing here?" Hallie asked towards her friend?
"You sure it isn't Killian?" She retorted with a smile.
"Killian has his own car now," Drew spoke up.
"You guys, you don't think Dewey is coming to bust me and Drew, do you?" Mark asked with paranoia flooding his body.
"Why would he be in his personal car, dumb ass?" Kirrah deadpanned.
Mark breathed a deep sigh of relief and sat down next to Drew.
The girls both rolling their eyes.
Drew only grinned at Mark, "Moron," he muttered under his breath.
"Woah! That's my mom's car!" Drew shouted as soon as he saw the tinted windows.
"Um, and my dad's blazer?" Mark added.
"Dude, that's my dad's truck... What in the actual fuck is going on here?" Kirrah asked as she and the others quickly made their way into the house.
"Sid!?"
"Randy!?" Sidney and Stu both shouted in shock.
"Really, Karen? You couldn't tell me you were married to Randy?" Sidney pointed towards the tall blonde woman.
"Dewey asked that I keep it a secret. No one was supposed to know unless it was necessary. Derek and Randy work together, that's the only reason they knew each other had survived."
Sidney turned to see Derek hugging his wife. She looked a lot like, "Lois?"
"Hi, Sidney. It's nice to see you after so long," she seemed timid. She had grown up since her late teens.
"You too," She smiled.
"Tate?" Sidney now had tears in her eyes.
Two of her life long friends that she had believed were dead, were now standing right in front of her.
"What the hell is going on out here?" Hallie shouted as she emerged from the door before her friends.
"Yeah, why the hell are you here?" Kirrah added as she walked towards the Silverado that a tall man was beginning to step out of.
"Mickey!" Sidney and Randy both shouted as Kirrah hugged him.
"You guys know my dad?" She was very confused.
All of the teens were.
"This is going to be fun. And now we know that I cannot hide from my past."
Sidney hugged Stu as she grabbed Hallie's arm.
"We need to talk."
