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.

Present Day - October 1, 2019

Hallie paced her living room. She was furious. Ignoring every call from Kirrah and Mark. She knew they had to be confused, but so was she. Why would they do this to Drew?

"Hallie, you're going to stroke out if you don't stop," Stu walked his daughter into the kitchen and made her sit at the table.

"Yeah, besides, Dad says that they can't keep Drew, anyways. The neighbors say he pulled into his driveway sometime around 11:20 something. They can't hold him. And apparently his parents have cameras outside the house that have a time stamp. Dad says they were running the Meeks' security footage all morning."

Hallie hugged Killian as he sat next to her, "I didn't know you were already here."

"I heard that there was a killer loose. I wasn't going to allow my girls to be without their most favorite stress relief."

Hallie smiled, but ignored the twinge of anger she felt at Kirrah, for Killian's sake.

Her phone began ringing, again, this time with an unknown caller tag. A chill ran down her spine, begging her not to answer, but she did anyway.

"Hello?" Curiosity lacing her voice, as the caller was in fact, unknown.

"Hello, Hallie,"

She recognized the voice. Or the pseudo-voice. It was the same one used in the Stab films.

"Dude... Seriously, whoever the fuck you are, this isn't funny. Especially when people in high school have literally been murdered. Nice try, though," Hallie hung up and slid her phone over to her father.

Stu did not like the look on Hallie's face. He could see the worry and slight hint of fear that was in her eyes.

Hallie's phone began to ring again, this time with an unknown caller tag, as well. Stu answered.

"Hello, Stu. Miss me?"

Stu's eyes widened.

"There's no fuckin' way. Who the fuck is this? Really? What are you playing?" Stu just grinned slyly into the speaker, "Billy didn't have the balls to finish it, either. He got stopped. By the same person he was after. Are you sure you want to play this game?"

"Yes."

The line disconnected. It was a harsh and cold end.

"Stu. Was that?"

Sidney stood behind Hallie's chair.

Killian was gripping the collar of his button up with wide eyes and labored breaths.

"Ghostface is really back?" Killian swallowed a deep breath he hadn't realized he needed and hugged the two women next to him.

Hallie was his life long friend, and Sidney was his dad's life long friend. They were all together. They were family. It was why he called Sid and Stu his aunt and uncle and vice versa. They were family.

Stu only nodded while staring blankly at the phone in his hand, now resting on the kitchen table.

"Dad, this means someone is trying to frame Drew. Someone called right now. Drew is still at the police station."

Stu shook his head trying to calm his daughter's excitement.

"Honey, that doesn't mean anything. The sheriff will just say it could be an accomplice," Sidney spoke up.

"Considering how many times there were multiple killers, they'd be right to be cautious. They'll have people watch Drew until he leaves," Stu tried to comfort Hallie.

"No, Dad! I know this isn't Drew, it can't be! Drew is too, too... I don't know but we all know how Drew is! He's never been the violent type of person! He has a temper, oh fucking well! Who doesn't around here, anyway!? Someone needs to tell Dewey that this freak just fucking called me twice."

Hallie stormed through the house, not telling anyone that she was actually leaving. She just kept going towards her car. She got in. She was always told not to leave the house without telling someone, but right now, Hallie didn't give a shit.

Hallie peeled out of the gravel driveway, knowing all too well that everyone would hear her. She just kept going.

Her phone rang and rang in her passenger seat, and all Hallie could do was turn her radio louder. The windows were down, blowing her hair all around her face, and her left hand was resting on her forehead with her elbow laying on the window. Hallie was hurt that no one trusted her believing Drew's innocence. She was hurt that it felt as though no one believed Drew was innocent but her. Hallie wasn't sure why, but she drove all the way to the police station. She walked in and searched for Dewey.

"Hey is Sheriff Riley around?" Hallie stopped at the desk next to his office.

"Yeah, he's in the break room, Hallie. You can go on in," a sweet smile came from the petite brunette.

"Thanks, Tia, I appreciate it!"

Hallie continued down the corridor until she found the desolate room. Only Dewey even used it. She knocked gently.

Dewey peaked up over his glasses and gave a soft smile. He patted the seat next to him and Hallie occupied the seat.

"Uncle Dew. Some unknown number called me. Twice, just now at the house. Mom and Dad were worried and thought maybe it would be brushed off as an accomplice, but, I know, deep down, I know this isn't Drew, Dewey. It can't be. It would be like you being a killer," a gentle chuckle escaped her lips as Dewey laughed heartily, "I just mean, Drew is someone who cares for everyone. It's just not believable that he would do this, Dewey, it really isn't."

Dewey nodded, "When did you get the calls, Hal?"

"Just before I left the house. Hold on, I'll pull up the call log," after scrolling past the missed calls from her mom and her dad, Hallie found the only two unknown calls on her phone, "3:11 and 3:14."

Dewey huffed, "Drew just left five minutes ago, so it definitely wasn't him. And you're right. I don't think this is Drew. But, I do have to investigate every angle thrown into my hands, Hallie. I know that hurts when it's your friends pitting themselves against each other, but sometimes, it's best to get those things out of the way to prove someones innocence, Sweetheart."

Hallie hugged Dewey, and her phone began ringing again with the unknown call tag.

Dewey ushered her to a room with computers where her phone was connected and she was told to answer her phone.

"Hello?" Hallie was cautious this time, knowing that this could be the psycho framing her best friend for murder.

"Hello, Hallie. Why did you go to the police station? Trying to protect pretty little Drew? You can't protect anyone. You're weak! Just like your mother. Just like your grandmother! You're the reason for all of this!"

The line disconnected causing Dewey to curse angrily.

"Not long enough, Sir, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I assumed that, thank you!" Dewey tossed a file to the side angrily.

"Uncle Dewey?" Hallie touched his arm lightly.

"This makes me think this is someone who knew Billy Loomis. I need everyone looking into that kid before his death in '96, anything you find that could be important tell me!" Dewey stormed out and pulled Hallie behind him. Picking up his office phone, Dewey needed to make almost a dozen phone calls, now.

After a few hours Hallie, Kirrah, Drew, Mark and their consecutive parents were all at the precinct in the large meeting room.

"Are you fucking kidding me, Dewey? How the hell can this be someone who knew Billy that we didn't know?" Tatum shouted at her older brother.

"Tate, none of us knew Sid had and older half-brother. Except Billy. Stu just knew he was some guy Billy knew. Billy was a lot more organized than we thought," Randy offered from his place, leaning against the wall under the glass window pane that was closed so no one could see in.

"Randy's right," Stu admitted, "I never cared who the guy was, just knew he was cool with Billy."

Hallie hugged her dad. She knew he was already dealing with the guilt for all of these years, and now he had to talk about it in a room full of people. It had to be hell.

Sidney leaned on Stu's back and he wrapped his arm around her pulling her in front of him next to Hallie. Sidney moved to put her hand on Hallie's shoulder and move her hair back out of her face.

"My only question is, why did this ass say that Hallie is the reason for all of this?" Kirrah shouted.

"Wait, what? You didn't tell me that!" Drew was facing Kirrah with his arms crossed, but quickly dropped his arms and turned to face Hallie with confusion.

"That just happened, like, 3 hours ago."

"Three fucking hours, Hal! Seriously!" Mark shouted this time, leaning forward in the chair he was previously reclined in. He was just as upset, Hallie was their best friend.

"Dudes, chill the fuck out!" Kirrah shouted and jumped in front of them with her arms extended out towards them.

"Seriously, fuck," Hallie mumbled as she turned to her friends.

"I just wanna know one thing, right here, right now..." Drew started.

Hallie knew where this was going.

All of the parents and adults in the room turned to face the four teens.

"Which one of you assholes said something about me sleeping with Carlie freshman year?" Drew's arms were crossed and an upset look crossed between confusion and hurt fell on his usually bubbly, gentle face, "We all know it wasn't Hallie, either,"

"Both of us," Kirrah spoke quietly.

Drew's face fell even further than before. To know that two people he truly cared about broke their promise of never speaking about that night again, a night that truly embarrassed the fuck out of him. Even though he kept all of their petty secrets.

Hallie's soft features from her pain for Drew turned to anger very quickly, "What!?"

Both Kirrah and Mark flinched. They both knew Hallie was right to be upset. They had broken their promise when they were the ones who had put Drew in that position in the first place.

"I want to say it's hard to believe you guys could be so fucking petty, but that'd be a lie," Hallie told them as she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head with a sad smile on her face as she walked over to where Drew was standing.

Drew just stared at Kirrah and Mark both in disbelief.

"Bro, I didn't think it would blow up around school like it did. I figured it would stay quiet. I didn't think anyone would hear me tell them in the office," Mark told Drew in his own defense.

"Yeah, Drew, you can't honestly think that we would do that to you on purpose," Kirrah agreed from behind Mark.

"Then why did you guys blatantly ignore us after you talked to Dewey?" Hallie asked pointedly.

Drew was now resting on the side of the table, his hands on either side of his body, both feet extended out in a v shape with his knees bent at a 45 degree angle and Hallie standing right between his knees.

No one was surprised to see her so close to him, or hear her defend him. Hallie and Drew were closer than the others, and no one could figure out why because Hallie had always made it clear that they couldn't ever be more than friends because he's too much like a brother to her.

"Hal, we were embarrassed that we had even done it. We knew you both would be pissed but we just didn't want to face it. We knew we were fucked as soon as we opened our mouths. Mark ran up to me after they talked to him and asked if I had 'done it too' and I knew what he meant. We both automatically freaked and didn't know what to do from that point. We were just so angry at ourselves for doing it in the first place!" Kirrah shouted.

"You should have just fucking told me so I knew what the hell I was waiting for, you fucking assholes!" Drew shouted with tears in his eyes as he leaned forward and pointed off into the distance to emphasize what he was waiting for.

Hallie just stood where she was. She stared in the direction of the defensive Kirrah and Mark.

"He's right. Yeah, you fucked up by saying it, but you could have just told him. Saved him the trouble of freaking out for however long, because we all know Drew is a fucking spaz," Hallie pointed at the blond.

"Ay!" Drew looked at Hallie.

"You're a fucking spaz, Meeseeks, don't fucking start with me right now," Hallie told him.

"Okay," Drew leaned back.

A few chuckles were heard collectively among the parents and Dewey.

A knock broke the tension amongst the teens.

"Sheriff, you need to see this," Tia popped her head in with a few papers in her hands.

Dewey quietly made his exit and began cursing and shouting.

"How the fuck did no one know about this?!" Dewey's voice echoed loudly throughout the precinct.

"Dewey's pissed," Stu nodded as he spoke.

"Yeah, but why, honey?" Sidney peered out the window of the door.

"Mom! Don't you tell me not to do stupid stuff like eavesdropping on, oh, I don't know, police officers!" Hallie pulled her mother from the door.

"Jesus, you really are Sidney's kid," Randy spoke with a laugh.

"I could have told you her daughter was the perfect mix of her and Stu. She really is," Karen and Sidney shared a smile.

"I forget you guys used to help Annie out together, so you spent time out at the house together."

"Yeah, that's why we're so close," Drew motioned between he and Hallie, "We spent a lot of our childhood hanging out together."

"And you don't smoke pot?" Sidney turned to face Hallie quickly.

"That's true. I got Sid doing it like sophomore year," Randy laughed as he and Stu did their old high school handshake.

"God, stop, both of you," Sidney and Karen both shook their heads.

"I mean, it's pretty relative," Drew chuckled mischievously as Hallie lightly backhanded his chest.

Sidney just shook her head as Stu laughed.

"It's not like they do it often. Like once every few months. Psh, lightweights," Mark shook his head.

"They!?" Tatum turned to face Kirrah.

"Ummmmm," Kirrah glared at Mark.

"Did I say 'they'? No, I meant-"

"Mark, shut up," Drew told him pointedly.

Dewey made a loud entrance into the room with a look mixed between anger and fear.

"Has anyone other than me seen the official case file on the murders?"

"No, they were sealed away when State got involved. I can't even get access to those records," Randy told Dewey.

"You can't, but Drew can," Hallie stuck her index finger to her friend's collarbone.

"Drew is not hacking State confidential files. That's not an option," Randy told Hallie.

"What if it's our only option to get the real files, Randy?" Dewey asked.

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"They doctored the files. They ones we have aren't real. So, it's unsure whether or not Billy did or didn't survive what happened."

"He was shot in the fucking head!" Mark shouted.

"No, I never actually shot him. Just like the other killer was never electrocuted with the television. They were just juicy details for Gale's book, at the time."

"So, you're all telling me, that after 23 years, it is very fucking possible that Billy fucking Loomis, is still alive!" Drew shouted.

Dewey, Sidney, Stu, and Tatum all nodded.

"My death was only faked because of the constant need of being hospitalized and having to have so many surgeries. My chances of surviving beyond what I had were slim to none. I was lucky," Tatum told the teens.

"This is fucking great," Drew stood up to walk away but Hallie pulled him into a hug.

Drew was now extremely upset because it was quite possible that the ex-boyfriend of his best friend's mom may now not only be alive, but trying to kill his friends and frame him for murder. It was all just too much.
