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 15, 2019

As they all pulled into Henry's field, they surveyed the other cars and realized at least a quarter of the kids from school were at the party.

"Hey, Frick and Frack showed up!"

Hallie turned around when she heard Henry shouting at the guys. Beside him was another teammate, Skyler. Skyler and Scott used to butt heads, but he was pretty torn up with his and Carlie's deaths.

"Hey, didn't think Drew-boy would let you guys make it, tonight," Henry chuckled as he playfully through Drew into a light headlock.

"Hallie convinced him," Kirrah motioned to Hallie and Henry let out a 'wooo' with a chuckle.

"Alright, let's party!" Henry through both arms into the air and shouted as he ran back into his house.

Hallie and Kirrah were holding hands as they walked in with Mark in front of them and Drew behind them. Looking around, all four teens saw the same thing they saw at every party they went to any time before.

Teens were grinding on each other to the loud, bass-y music, burnouts were smoking in the corner while laughing at some random jokes and doing stupid tricks to pass the time, most of the jocks were with their girlfriends, if they had one, the others were out by the pool getting wasted and stuffing their faces. There was nothing unusual to Hallie about this party, and that absolutely terrified her.

Hallie had some idea in her head that everyone would be a little on edge, that everything would be even just the slightest bit tense, but nothing. Skyler and Henry were smoking with the guys while some of the teens gathered to watch others play video games. Music was still going, dancing too, but fear was still just barely present in Hallie's mind.

After about an hour, Kirrah and Mark were mercilessly drunk and making out in the corner while Drew and Hallie laughed at them.

"You know, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually pretty glad we came here, tonight," Drew told Hallie with a giant smile as he grabbed her hand.

She nodded as she scooted closer to him and nestled into his chest, "Yeah, me too."

The party went on and the teens spent the night laughing and having fun, pretending that there wasn't a deranged killer on the loose, after them.

As everyone began clearing out from Henry's house lights flickered outside on his parents posts. The eerily open yard was no void of cars, only left with trash from the party, and tire ruts in the grass.

"Guys, something feels off," she told them with hesitation.

They had been at the party for six hours, it was now midnight. No one had really gone outside during the party except the teens that smoke cigarettes, the vapers just stayed inside.

Hallie was standing in front of Mark, with Drew to her left. Kirrah was standing behind Drew, with Mark to her right.

The girls stared towards the boys' cars, thinking that the could just sprint for the cars.

Mark gently placed his hand on her arm, and he encased her wrist with his hand, "What is it?"

Hallie screamed as soon she turned her head.

Skyler's head was smashed in the garage door and the rest of his body was dangling down.

The four teens darted in the direction of Drew's car, as it was the closest, but just before they made it - boom! Drew's car burst into flames from the inside breaking out all of his windows.

"Jesus, fuck! Mom and Dad are gonna fucking kill me!" Drew shouted as he jumped back and pushed Hallie and Kirrah between he and Mark.

"The house, go!" Mark shouted.

Kirrah groaned and didn't want to budge. Seeing the dead boy's body hanging told her only one thing. They were doing exactly what this creep wanted.

"As unfortunate of an option as that is, it is our only one, as of this moment, Kir!" Hallie pulled Kirrah with she and the boys.

As soon as they made it back into the house, the teens tried to make a game plan.

"Alright, so you and Kirrah see if there is anything upstairs, me and Hallie will look down here. Just, please, dude, for God's sake, be careful, Mark?!" Drew was pleading with his friend.

Mark nodded, "I promise you that I will try to the best of my capabilities, bro."

Kirrah and Hallie hugged as they separated into their two pairs and went off in different directions.

The ending of the quiet thumps going up the stairs signaled Hallie and Drew that their friends had made it up the stairs.

A very loud clang was heard from the kitchen as what sounded like glass, or maybe ceramic fell to the linoleum flooring and shattered.

Hallie and Drew crept quietly, with Drew in front, towards the kitchen. Reaching the kitchen, though, to see what was there, it was something they had never expected to see.

"Oh, you finally made it. Thought I was gonna have to start having fun on my own."

Chills ran down Hallie's spine as the voice echoed in her mind. The raspy, chastising voice. Kirrah and Mark were tied to chairs, both looking beaten. The mask soon came off the psycho's face.

"You kids don't know me -"

"Bullshit, we fucking know who you are. You're Billy fucking Loomis. You're a sick bastard who doesn't know how to-" Drew was cut short by someone hitting in the head from behind.

Hallie hit the ground next to Drew, checking to see if he was okay.

"Dude, you never shut up!" Henry showed up around the other end of the stairs, "Also, Kirrah puts up a real fight, I can see why Marky likes her so much," a perverse laugh escaped his lips.

"Don't touch-er," Mark grumbled under his breath.

Henry laughed, then punched Mark in the face where his head hung already, Mark was now drooping into his own lap.

"What the fuck are you getting out of this Henry?"

"Henry, gets nothing out of this, but a fucking bone to chew on," a voice drawled from behind Hallie.

She gasped, "I should have fucking known. I should have... After Willis. It makes sense."

"It's nothing personal against you, Hal, I love you. But your mom just has a way of ruining people. Maybe I was one of them, but, oh well. Here we are."

Henry, Billy and Killian all stood in front of Hallie and Drew, were the latter two were still in the floor.

"Oh I bet your mommy is gonna love this, Little Sidney."

Hallie began laughing hysterically.

******************************************start flashback*******************************************************

Hallie made her way to her mom's office were she knew both her parents would be. Lightly, she knocked on the door and waited the approval to enter.

"Hey, kiddo, what's up?" Stu asked as she shut the door quietly behind her.

"You guys are gonna be mad, but hear my peace before you attack?"

Sidney and Stu shared a look, but allowed Hallie to continue. Something they taught her growing up, if she believed something and she wanted to do or get something bad enough, she had to have a reason. A legitimate reason for why it was necessary. And Hallie always kept that mindset, even as a teenager. Hallie always gave them a reason.

She took a deep breath and started talking slowly, "Ok, so Mark found out about a party, yesterday. Drew already told him and Kirrah 'no'. So did I. But, with everything going on, I just didn't want to leave and you guys be worried. I'll give you the address, I will tell you exactly how to get there. Hell, you can even have Mr. Meeks send FBI guys down there to watch and make sure no one attacks at this party if it is a means to an end like it was when it all started. We just need something fun. We're all so drained and scared."

Sidney smiled at her daughter. She knew Hallie was fighting tears, she was terrified, just like Sidney was when she was her age.

"Go, but leave the important details here, please," Stu told her with a smile.

Hallie jumped up to hug him. She quickly jotted down the details and ran out of the room.

******************************************end flashback*******************************************************

"You fucking absolute morons think I would go anywhere right now without telling my whole support system what time I was leaving, what time I'd be home or how the fuck to get here in case that didn't happen!? I pity you bastards when all of our parents, and the police get here."

"Hallie, run!" Drew shouted as he stood up and jumped in front of the the three. Mark must have heard him, because right then, Mark through himself and his chair down, tripping Henry and Billy.

Hallie took off somewhere in the house with Killian chasing not far behind. She could hear Mark and Drew wrestling with the Billy and Henry, causing her to assume that somehow, Drew freed Mark from his binds.

Ducking into a room, Hallie hid under the bed.

POW!

The sound rang threw the house, freezing Hallie's blood cold.

THUNK!

"Hal!? Hallie, baby!"

"Daddy!" Hallie scrunched herself out from underneath the bed. "DAD!" She leapt into her father's arms.

Stu held her close as Sidney ran to them, "Hallie!" Sidney pulled her daughter into a tight gripped hug.

"I'm glad I told you the truth."

Sidney smiled and hummed, "I honestly don't think that there has ever been a time when you haven't, Hal."

"Hey, Sid?" Randy's voice echoed up the stairs, "You need to see this."

Just as her father began to pull her to go with them, Hallie stopped him.

"I told you that there would never be a time when you weren't necessary," Hallie told her father with tears in her eyes.

Stu pulled her into his side and quietly walked her down the stairs.

"So, you're saying that Henry was Billy's son."

Randy nodded, "And he was in a secret relationship with Killian. Messages on both their phones prove it. This was planned for a long time, Sid."

Hallie ran to her friends when she saw them sitting on the back of an ambulance.

"Are you guys okay?" She asked hesitantly.

Kirrah shook her head 'no', "The sad thing is, I told him more than I told anyone, and he used it against me. I wouldn't have done that to him. Ever," tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Now you know how Drew feels, huh?" Hallie offered quietly.

Mark and Kirrah both looked at her, slightly shocked, but in understanding. Hallie was right. They threw him under the bus, and Killian did the same to them. Now they understood how it felt to be betrayed by someone they trusted.

Mark slid down form his spot and sat the blanket that was wrapped around his shoulders on the place he had given up, "I gotta go make amends."

Drew was standing alone, by what was left of his car.

"Insurance will cover it, right?" Mark asked as he made his way to Drew's side.

"Fuck, I hope so..." A jilted laugh escaped his lips, "You know, this whole thing has been so stupid from the beginning. I just want to go back to living a normal life and fucking graduate my senior year, is that too much for me to ask?!" Drew threw his hands up to the sky in exclamation.

Mark chuckled, "A little considering normal Drew didn't have a girlfriend."

Drew's face perked up when Mark said those words.

"Hey, look, I guess I never gave you a real apology. I mean, to be real, I still don't know why I threw you under the bus like I did. And I really did hate myself for it, bro. That's why I didn't talk to you that day. I knew that I had fucked up and there was no way in hell to take it back. Drew, we have been best friends since we were in diapers, dude. I really don't want this to fuck up our friendship. I know I was wrong, I know I fucked up, but I don't know how to make it right," Mark's eyes were red and puffy. Drew was his brother, with the exception of sharing DNA they shared almost everything else. Memories and more.

Drew shook his head and laughed, "I think I may have taken it a little too far by biting your head off. I should have just talked to you, man. I really should have."

The boys embraced in a hug and walked back to the people flooding the outside of the house.

"This is Ryn Louis from W.H.I.W., and boy have I got a story for you tonight. 23 years after his first killing spree, Billy Loomis has resurfaced. This time, he went after the children of his surviving victims. More for you, next."

"And cut!"

"You're doing great, Ryn," the cameraman told her.

"I know I am. I know how to do my job, Ronnie!" the blonde shouted back.

"You know, you remind me of someone I once knew."

"Gale Weathers," the young woman gasped.

"Exactly."

"Oh, no, no, no, no... I've just been told by many professors and other castors that I do great at my job, and so long as I know that, that no anything can come between me and scoop."

Gale smiled at the girl, "Honey, let me give you some advice. Fuck the professors, fuck the castors. Do what is in your heart as an independent journalist, because I promise you that is the best thing you can do. Or else yeah, you'll have all the money you could want, but who will be there to share it with, when vanity comes knocking, hmm?"

"Aunt Gale! Aunt Gale! I am so sorry!" Tia ran up to her aunt and hugged her tightly. "Uncle Dewey called. I'm so sorry about Killian."

"Hey, it isn't your fault. None of us could have seen this coming. Unfortunately, Killian just wanted to blame other people for his wrong doings."

Gale turned to see the four teens standing beside an ambulance and smiled, "Besides, at least he and Billy didn't get what they came for."

Hallie had her arms wrapped around Drew's waist, and his were around her shoulders. Kirrah was sitting next to Mark, resting her head on his arm.

"So, this has been a great senior year so far," Kirrah offered her friends.

"Totally, one for the books," Drew added with a laugh.

The four laughed in a comfortable air. They hadn't felt this free in a long time.
