Chapter Seven: The End of the End

A/N: Well, here at the end. I must say I'm a bit sad…alright, I'm over it! I want to thank everyone who bothered to read this and especially those who reviewed! And a big, BIG thank you to Eric, my fellow writer and number one (and only!) fan! Well, on with the show! R&R!

Author's POV

Travis reached forward to pull off the Roscoe Killer's black ski mask, and the killer made no move to stop him. Travis slowly pulled the mask of his head to reveal…Ha ha! Cliffhanger!

No, just kidding! Travis pulled the mask off to reveal…hey, did you know that the skin under your elbow is called the wenis? Sorry, sorry.

Alright, let's try this again! Travis Strong (AKA Smog) slowly pulled off the ski mask to reveal that the Roscoe Killer's true identity is River Pierce. (Gasp! No!) Yes, River Pierce!

"The Great River Pierce? But why?" a cop exclaimed. Yes, even the cops call him the Great River Pierce.

"River Pierce?" Travis said glancing down at his red notebook where the name Danny Waller glared up at him. He slammed the notebook shut and said, "Yeah, of course it was River!"

"I did it because all those people hurt her! I couldn't stand to see her upset!" River cried. "Lily! I love you!"

"Wow, at any other time I'd be flattered that River Pierce had a thing for me, but now that you've killed so many people, I think you're just creepy!" Lily said. Eric, who had just shown up in the crowd, cleared his throat loudly. "Oh, and because of Eric of course!"

"Lily, please! I love you! I did this all for you!" River cried as the cops began to move in on him.

"River, you can't show a girl that you love her by slaughtering a bunch of people-some of whom where my friends! I'm sorry, but after you killed Ray and Parker and Meagan…wait, how the hell did you know who was hurting me all those times?" Lily asked.

"You always complained about Jessie copying off of you in physics, I was standing behind you when that Chuck guy ticked you off, it was all over school that Ray was telling people that you dumped him, I was standing outside the French room door when you loudly proclaimed your dislike for Sierra, I was sitting a table over from you when you were telling that guy about No Man's Land, I heard that Krissy girl dragging your name through the mud, and I over heard your friends talking about Audrey," River sighed. He noticed Audrey was still on the ground clutching her nose and kicked her in the back.

This is the point where the cops tackled River to the ground and handcuffed him.

"River Pierce, you are under arrest for murder in the third degree. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law," an officer said.

He was about to continue reading River his rights when another cop cut him off. "You have the right to an attorney…blah, blah, blah. Just like on TV."

The cops dragged River away and just before he was shoved into the squad car, he threw his head back and screamed, "Lily! Will you wait for me?"

"No River! I don't have feelings for you. I may have had a little crush before, but now you're just some creep." Lily said. It was obvious she was fighting back tears. It was over. The killing would stop.

"No!" River screamed as the car door was slammed shut. A few seconds later the car sped off, taking River out of Lily, Robbie, and Travis' lives forever.

Eric joined the trio as they stood watching the road that had carried off the Roscoe Killer. He put his arm around Lily.

"So, what do we do now?" Robbie asked, breaking the silence as the crowd slowly left.

"Back to life," Travis replied. "Although we should honor those who are departed."

"You know guys, I was technically right. This was all my fault," Lily said throwing a glance at Audrey who was finally being helped by Mickey.

"Hey Lily?" Eric said. Lily looked at him. "Shut up."

Epilogue

So my dear reader, you must be wondering 'What the hell happened after that'? Well, seeing as I'm nice, I'll tell you.

Lillian Randal, Travis Strong, Robert McGrath, and Eric Johnston all went back to Travis' and had some of his special calming tea. They returned to school a week later, wounds not quite healed, but they'd survive it. They never again spoke the name River Pierce.

The remaining members of RFR shared their secret with Eric, and he became a DJ under the name Xero Cool. He and Lily are now boyfriend and girlfriend.

River Pierce was taken to court and tried as an adult. He was sentenced to life in a maximum security prison, but don't worry, he'll have a chance for probation in the year 2055.

They held the funerals for Raymond Brennan, Parker Haynes, and Meagan at the same time, they were buried side by side.

Audrey Quinlan was there with her nose covered in a huge white bandage, which stood out against her all black attire. After the funeral she whispered a promise of revenge to Lily. It turns out that Audrey had been dating River, unaware of his feelings for Lily or his killing spree, and she was now pregnant with his child.

Lily just smirked and poked her nose.

Everyone (mostly) lived mostly happily ever after…or did they?

A/N: Well, that's the end. I was thinking of turning that whole Audrey thing into another story, tell me what you think! Peace out!
