Chapter 6
It was 7:00 PM. It was pretty dark outside. Jude got home as fast as he could. He slammed the door shut and locked it. He leaned against it. To his surprise, nobody was home. Great. What now?
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang again. It was that weird number again. Without hesitations, Jude answered.
"What?"
"Locking the door won't help you with anything. I'm already in the house."
Jude turned pale, his eyes widened in fear.
"Wh-what? But... you said..."
"Forget what I said. I knew that if I made you believe that I am outside you will go inside your house. So here I am!"
Ghostface jumped from a closet and ran to Jude!
Jude SCREAMED. He kicked Ghostface in the crotch and ran upstairs. Ghostface didn't waste any time. He followed him. Jude was wildly screaming for help, hoping that someone may hear him. He entered his room and closed the door shut. He locked it and took his mobile phone. He dialed Stef.
Five seconds. Ten. Still ringing.
"Come on, come on..." whispered franticly Jude, his hand shaking.
Then, he turned around in fear, when he heard Ghostface kicking the door.
Finally, Stef answered.
"Hello?"
"MOOOOOM!" Jude shouted, bursting out crying.
"JUDE! OH MY GOD, WHAT'S WRONG?!"
"THE KILLER IS IN THE HOUSE AGAIN!"
"I'LL GET THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! WHERE ARE THOSE GODDAMN DEPUTIES?!"
"I-I DON'T KNOW!"
"WHERE ARE YOU?"
"IN MY ROOM, I JUST GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL AND..."
Jude suddenly stopped. The line went dead. One single thought was running around Jude's mind: FML.
Just then he realised the oddly silence. Was the killer gone? No, it must be a trick. He had to stay inside his room until Stef will arrive.
His cell phone vibrated. He had a new message from an unknown person. It was the same person that messaged him before. "Change of plans. Go to that abandoned amusement park two streets far from your house. ALONE. Or someone might get gutted today. You will find a little surprise there."
Jude took a deep breath, unlocked the door and ran away.
Five minutes later, Stef arrived, gun in hands. She looked everywhere for Jude or the killer, but nobody was inside. This worried Stef badly. She called him, but the voicemail answered instantly.
"No, Jude, come on!"
Then she heard some foot steps coming from outside. Without losing any time, she ran there...
...AND BUMPED INTO DEPUTY ADAMS AND STEVE!
Just as Stef was about to shoot, the deputies screamed and Stef stopped immediately.
"Adams! Steve! What are you doing here?! Weren't you supposed to guard the house?!"
"We were hungry. We went to the diner to get some sandwiches. Callie and Mariana were there. They were alright." said Steve.
Stef just couldn't believe it.
"You are so irresponsible! There was a killer inside this house, now a few minutes! Jude was attacked! I can't find him!"
"You mean the killer or Jude?" asked Adams, confused.
"Both of them! We have to find Jude as soon as possible! Get in your cars! NOW!"
The deputies did as they were told, and Stef did the same thing. They drove away.
Meanwhile, Jude reached his destination. He was at the abandoned amusement park, thinking what the killer's surprise might be. He saw Connor and Taylor coming from the opposite direction, heading to the same place.
"Connor! Taylor! What are you doing here?!"
"What are you doing here?!" asked both Taylor and Connor.
"Ok, I'm confused."
"We got messages from the killer!" exclaimed Connor.
"Are you sure it was him?" asked Jude.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"What did he say to you?"
"He said that we should go to this abandoned amusement park alone, without you, or you might get killed!" answered Taylor, panicked.
"You have to be kidding me! The killer told me that I have to go here without anyone, or you might get killed!"
Connor and Taylor shared scared looks. Then they looked back at Jude.
"Oh no..." whispered Jude, shocked.
Then, Jude's eyes widened, feeling a strange smell coming from somewhere.
"What's wrong?" asked Connor.
"Something smells."
That was the moment when Connor and Taylor smelt it too. It was coming from somewhere around the amusement park. They followed the smell, and after a while, they stopped in front of the ferris wheel.
The lights on the ferris wheel suddenly went on. They held their arms in front of their faces. They looked over. What they saw shocked them.
Daria, hanging in the middle of the ferris wheel by what looked to be her intestines, her insides split out from her gutted stomach, her cold, dead eyes wide shut and her face full of blood!
They all SCREAMED their lungs out.
Above her, there was a huge cardboard with a message written with what looked like Daria's blood: "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HER, JUDE"
Taylor screamed until she fainted.
A/N: That was chapter 6. Pretty short, but as I said, there's more to come. Also, you will see more of Emma and Mariana in the next chapters. Stay tuned. ;)
