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 - October 14, 2019

The doctors told Drew that he could take some time off of school to help with his injuries, but he wouldn't have it. It had only been two days, and he was adamant that he had to go back to school.

Hallie laughed when he and Mark decided to start play fighting and he hurt himself.

"We kinda warned you two not to do that," Kirrah snickered.

Drew groaned as he sat on the edge of the fountain, "Fucking hell!"

Hallie just stared in his direction, "Hey, you have no right to complain after you were already told by the doctors to stay home for a week, at least."

Kirrah and Hallie were sitting side-by-side with Drew on Hallie's right. Mark was standing in front of them, laughing.

"She's got a point, bro."

Drew flipped Mark off and lifted his shirt to check and make sure his stitches hadn't broken or ripped in their little play fight. Nothing. He let his shirt slide back down his abdomen and grabbed his bottle of water from in front of his foot.

Both girls shook their heads and smiled. Things were slightly back to normal. Save for the killer on the loose in their town.

"You guys think they'll catch this asshole?"

Everyone turned to face Kirrah. She looked scared.

"They're doing everything they can, Kir," Mark put a hand on her shoulder and crouched down in front of her to try to comfort her. He was always a little closer to Kirrah than Hallie, as he and Kirrah always partied together - even when they didn't really want to be in the same room as each other. He felt like it was his duty to protect her, just like he knew that Drew felt like it was his to protect Hallie.

Hallie rested her head on Drew's shoulder. She didn't know what to say to Kirrah about this killer. That feeling made her understand why her dad got so upset when she accused them of lying to her about Billy Loomis. She called her dad while she was in the hospital with Drew, crying and apologizing all at the same time. Hallie felt Drew's arm go around her waist and scooted closer to him.

"I hope that they find him before he really tries to find all of us. I still can't get Dawson out of my head. His poor mom. And what that bastard did to him. Dawson never deserved that. Never."

"What!?"

Kirrah and Hallie both jumped when Drew shouted. They both realized he was glaring at Mark, who was staring at he and Hallie.

"Dude, you cannot actually tell me that you didn't see that happening?" Kirrah looked at Mark with a quizzical look on her face, as if questioning how stupid Mark could actually be.

"I mean, I did, but I didn't think Drew would be ballsy enough to do something about it!" Mark argued.

Hallie threw her notebook at Mark while laughing, "Shut up!"

Drew pulled her closer, causing a slight surge of pain in his side, but he ignored it.

"Yo, you guys are abusive," Mark looked at them with a very fake pout causing both girls, and Drew to laugh.

"Moron, you're just as abusive," Drew added.

The bell rang, signalling the group to their respective classes.

Drew and Hallie sat in A.P. Biology long enough for a message to come over the intercom.

"School has been cancelled for the day. Students, please return home, your parents have been informed," Mrs. Weatherly was speaking to the students personally, "Another victim was found this morning, and police are urging everyone to remain home after dark and not to go anywhere alone. Please, Students, be safe."

Both Hallie and Drew had chills running through them. Who was the latest victim?

Their question was soon answered, "Dad just texted me. They found Mr. Willis in his car with his throat slashed."

Hallie's eyes widened.

They were out of the school now, meeting Mark and Kirrah between the two boys' cars.

"Who was it? Mark won't tell me!?" Kirrah was frantic.

"Willis," Drew stared towards the road that led out of the school.

"Mr. Willis? Are you fucking kidding me?" Kirrah was upset. He was the only teacher to really try to work with Kirrah through her ADHD. He was always so patient with his students. It was a bombshell for all of them.

Hallie was leaning against the driver's side door of Drew's car and he was standing in front of her, still staring at the road behind her. Hallie reached out and grabbed his hand gently, causing him to look at her.

"Let's get out of here, guys," Drew spoke timidly as he pulled Hallie into a hug. He knew she could tell that he was upset. Pissed off, was more like it, but he wasn't going to act out. He couldn't. Other people still believed he was responsible.

Drew and Hallie climbed into his car as Kirrah and Mark got into Mark's red Lincoln MKZ. Soon, Mark was calling Drew.

"What? We literally just left the school, man?" Drew huffed.

"Stop being an ass," Hallie mumbled.

Drew turned to look at her for a split second to realized she was making fun of him, laughing and trying to hold back a grin.

"Wait, what?" Drew missed whatever it was that Mark had said while he was staring at Hallie. "No, that's a shitty and shady idea, dude."

"What's a shitty and shady idea?" Hallie was curious, now.

"No, not happening," Drew had already hung up on Mark.

"What?"

"No," He re-iterated his last statement.

"But what is it?" Hallie fake whined, knowing Drew would eventually tell her.

"There's a party tomorrow out at Henry's place. Mark wants to go. I think it's a bad idea."

Hallie nodded, "Can we stop by Killian's? I want to check on him."

Drew leaned back against his seat, "Yeah, that's fine with me. But we can't stay long. You're parents will be pissed."

Hallie laughed at Drew's fear of her Mom and Dad. Both of her parents always scared him.

Drew intertwined his fingers with Hallie's after they got out of his car. He was never the type to feel 'butterflies' but Hallie had always made everything different. She was different.

There was a bell tone as they walked inside the small photography and video shop that Killian owned. His mother got him into journalism at a young age, but he always obsessed over being the one to hold the camera. He loved being the behind the scenes person.

"Killi!" Hallie shouted as she saw the mixed colored hair bound around the corner. She jumped at him and hugged him.

"Jesus, Hal!" Drew shouted as she nearly knocked herself and Killian in the floor.

Killian laughed as he hugged her, "She's fine. It's good to see you too, babes."

Hallie grinned as she helped Killian stand up straight, "Sorry, didn't mean to catch you off guard. I honestly assumed you heard the bell."

He smiled at her, "I did, but I wasn't expecting it to be you, or you to jump on me."

"Curfew is being put in effect. Sorry, dude. Sales are gonna be shit for a while."

Killian shook his head with a solemn look, "It isn't your fault, Drew. I wish people would stop blaming you for this. None of this is because of you."

The boys hugged, Killian and Drew had known each other for years. In fact, Drew sometimes looked at him like an older brother. Killian was always there if they needed him.

"I just wanted to see how you were. I know, all things considered it could be worse, but I also remember the night you tumbled into my room sobbing, so..."

Killian grinned sadly, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have done that."

"Anytime you need a getaway, you know were I am," She told Killian as she and Drew began walking out the door.

"You two be safe. Especially with this psycho on the loose," Killian pointed at them.

The drive to Hallie's wasn't quiet, but it wasn't a talkative one, either. They just listened to music and talked about random things that crossed their minds. It was nice. For the both of them.

"Mark just texted me about the party tomorrow," Hallie told Drew as they walked up the steps to the front door of her house.

Drew sighed, "I just don't think it's a good idea, Hal."

She smiled at him as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "I didn't say I wanted to go, I said he texted me, Meeseeks."

"Yeah, but if they go then we have to go to keep them out of trouble. Because, God knows, the second one of us catches wind that they are going we will both freak out and be right behind them. I know us, I know how we are."

Hallie laughed and nodded. She knew that Drew was right. She also didn't want to tell him that the text she got said that Kirrah and Mark planned on going to the party.

"Let me guess, they already told you they're going and that's why you brought up the text?" Drew asked with a smirk. He knew her too well.

She smiled, "Yeah, kinda."

"So, we're stuck going to a party, that we both think is a bad idea, because our friends want to go have fun?" Drew raised a brow in question.

"Unfortunately. But, at least you're not stuck dealing with Mark all night," Hallie told him with a grin.

"Really?" Drew acted as though he had no idea what she was talking about, "What else would I be doing?"

Hallie shrugged her shoulders with her smile never leaving her face, "You know, I have no clue, Meeseeks."

He took a step forward and began to lean down. Just then, Drew's phone began to ring. He declined the call, "Fuck it," Drew grabbed both sides of Hallie's face and kissed her fiercely. He had been waiting to kiss her since he was thirteen. It was worth it. She tasted like peppermint. Hallie always loved peppermints. It was hysterical because he hated them, but he loved that that was her taste. He pulled back just enough for them both to breathe. Both laughing. His phone began ringing again, "Christ, seriously?!" He answered it this time. "Look, I don't know who the fuck this is, but now is not the time." He was agitated.

A sinister laugh came through the phone speaker. Hallie recognized the laugh.

"Drew, hang up, right now."

He stared at her for a second, questioning why with his gaze.

"How's that little cut doing, Drew Drop?" the laugh was maniacal.

Hallie took the phone from Drew's hands and ended the call, "Inside, now! Dad!" She shouted as she opened the door, then shut and locked it behind she and Drew.
