Chapter 14
Mariana was at the hospital with Emma.
Stef drove Jude back home, and then returned with Mike to the crime scene. The next stop was at the police station.
Emma was sitting on her hospital bed, while Mariana was sitting beside her.
Emma's shoulder was now bandaged.
"Emma..." Mariana said, tears in eyes. "I'm so sorry for dragging you into this. If only I..."
"Mariana, don't be sorry! This is not your fault! We were and will always be a team! The two of us. Together. Until the end."
These words hit Mariana hardly.
She smiled at Emma and hugged her tightly.
"Ouch." Emma said.
Mariana stopped.
"Sorry."
"It's alright."
Emma sighed in regret.
"I seriously can't imagine what Jude is going through right now." she said.
"Yeah, you don't want to..." Mariana said, feeling sorry for him. "Taylor, Connor and Daria were like his only friends from school. He must be destroyed."
Meanwhile, Jude was in the living room, sitting on the sofa, crying and sobbing uncontrollably in Callie's lap. Callie was holding him tightly, a look of sadness washing over her face. She was close to crying, too.
It was this night when Jude finally found out what really happened to Taylor and Connor, and it hurt as hell.
"I'm so alone right now..." he murmured. "I have nobody. It's not fair. It's so unfair, so unfair..."
"Jude... you are not alone! You still have all of us!"
Finally, Jude looked up at Callie and sat up. He looked awful. He really was destroyed. He never cried that much in his whole life. He never felt such pain, such loneliness...
"It won't be the same again." he said.
He stopped crying. He scoffed.
"And when I thought that they are still alive... look what I found out! They were actually dead!"
It took a moments for Jude to figure something out.
"That may explain the break-up message I've got from Connor. It wasn't actually him, now was it?"
"I don't think so."
Jude nearly gasped.
"Or Taylor's message! "You'll see me soon"! It was the killer all along, playing with me!"
Jude let out a deep sigh.
"I knew Connor wouldn't ever do that to me... I just knew it... But I was afraid to think of the fact that someone killed him and used his phone to further torture me."
"Jude, we can't let him win!" Callie exclaimed to him.
"No... we can't. Because tonight, I'm going to catch the psycho who did this to my friends!"
"No, you won't! Don't put yourself in danger!"
"If I don't do that, anyone else will die! He wants me dead, after all. That's what he said to me."
"Jude, you can't do that! I know that you want to be strong but just think of what you are putting yourself into! It's too risky, we should rely on the cops on this."
"This wasn't proven to be an option, Callie. The last time I did this, you know how it ended."
Callie opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Suddenly, Callie's cell phone rang.
She took it out from the pocket and looked at the caller ID. "Unknown"
Callie shared a look with Jude and answered.
"Well, well, if it isn't Jude's bigger sister!" answered Ghostface with excitement.
Jude took her phone.
"You son of a bitch! Let her out of this! This is all about me, right? I am the main target, aren't I? I am the real life Sidney Prescott, just like you said, right? So, here I am, come and get me!"
Ghostface chuckled at the last exclamation.
"Oh, Jude, you are such a coward."
"Me? A coward?! Says the person who hides his face from everyone by wearing a stupid Scream mask! Just get over here and kill me already! I am the main reason why you started killing people!"
Jude was filled with anger, but with braveness and confidence, too.
"That's what you think, Jude. Do you think this is all about you? Do you think you are the main star of the show? I don't think so. You will soon find out what I'm talking about. But before that, I have a big announcement for you! Tonight is the big finale, Jude! Yes! Congratulations! You finally reached the unmasking stage!" Ghostface cheerfully exclaimed.
Jude's eyes widened. He was shaking with impatience.
"Oh, that's great! Then just tell me who you are already!"
"Not so fast, Jude. I'm glad that you are so excited about this but we can't rush the ending, now can we?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't know about you, but I've got a little bit knife happy and I am in the mood for some slicing."
Click. The line went dead.
Jude offered Callie her phone back.
"What did he say to you?!" Callie asked him.
"He said that tonight is the big finale. He will finally reveal his identity. But he wants some action first."
Callie's eyes widened in terror.
"We need to get out of here!" Jude exclaimed to her.
Callie nodded, panicked.
Jude took Callie's hand and they ran to the front door.
He unlocked and opened it...
...REVEALING GHOSTFACE!
CALLIE AND JUDE SCREAMED!
Jude knocked Ghostface over.
He leaned down and took off his mask...
...revealing a mannequin.
Jude sighed in anger. He tricked them.
Jude took the mannequin and threw it aside.
He turned around to Callie.
"I can't believe that..." Jude said, before stopping.
He noticed Callie's look on her face. She looked very terrified and shocked, tears filling her eyes. She covered her mouth with a palm.
"Callie, what is it?!"
"JUDE! BEHIND YOU!" Callie shouted her lungs out.
Jude turned around in confusion and...
...HE SAW THE REAL GHOSTFACE RIGHT BEHIND HIM, KNIFE RAISED!
Jude gasped and Callie screamed, dragging Jude inside.
Ghostface quickly entered the house.
He barreled into Callie, but she was fast.
She spun around and knocked Ghostface against the wall.
"Callie!" Jude desperately shouted.
Just as Jude raced to help, Ghostface turned on him, raising his knife.
Callie lunged at Ghostface.
The knife almost struck Jude in the arm, but Callie tackled Ghostface to the ground and they went tumbling, wrestling with each other. Together. Intertwined.
Jude screamed in fear and started crying.
Ghostface instantly rised, but Callie was disoriented.
She tried to crawl away but Ghostface pulled her back when...
...Callie kicked Ghostface off of her. She scrambled to her feet, racing to the door, where Jude was, coming face to face with Mike.
Jude and Callie gasped.
Mike saw the panick from their eyes.
"What happened?! What's going on?!" he asked them.
"The killer is in here!" shouted Jude, pointing to his back.
Mike entered the house quickly, gun drawn. Just then, confusion washed over his face.
"Where?" he asked.
Callie and Jude turned around.
They saw the back door opened.
"He was..." mumbled Callie, breathing heavily.
"Oh, my God, Callie!" exclaimed Jude, tears in eyes, hugging her. "I can't believe you've just done that! You saved my life! You shouldn't have!"
Callie smiled.
She responded to the hug.
"Of course I should've done that, Jude! I couldn't bear watching you being attacked by him!"
Jude smiled too, deeply impressed by Callie's braveness and love for him.
Suddenly, they broke, when they heard Mike saying:
"Someone's back there. You two stay here, I'm going to check the backyard."
They nervously nodded.
Mike went to the opened back door, gun drawn.
Callie and Jude watched him from the front door.
"Hey! Who's there?" Mike shouted.
Just as Mike was about to walk around...
...GHOSTFACE APPEARED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!
JUDE AND CALLIE SCREAMED!
GHOSTFACE STABBED MIKE IN THE STOMACH. One time. Two times. Three times. Four times. Five times. Six times. SEVEN TIMES!
Mike dropped dead to the ground.
Callie covered her mouth with both her hands, sobbing while watching Mike's dead body.
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Jude, crying.
Ghostface ran away. They couldn't see him anymore.
Just then...
Jude's cell phone rang.
Both Callie and Jude gasped.
Jude took his phone and answered immediately.
"I think that's enough for tonight." Ghostface said. "Now it's time for the unmasking stage, Jude! The moment that you have waited for so eagerly!"
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Jude snapped.
"The question isn't who am I. The question is where am I."
Jude frowned.
"What?!"
"The ending won't be at the house, that would be just silly and too cliche! Figure the place out, Jude. I'll give you a hint: it's where it ended for the first victim."
Jude pieced everything together and answered almost instantly:
"Where it ended... for Daria... At the abandoned amusement park!"
Ghostface laughed.
"I knew you were a smart boy, Jude! I'll see you there!"
Click. The line went dead.
Jude looked at the phone with fear, his heart beating fastly.
This was the night. This was the night when all the murders will stop and everything will go back to normal afterwards. This was the night when he will find out the killer's identity, and he will be damn sure that he was going to kill that psycho with his own bare hands.
"Jude, what did he say to you?!" asked Callie.
"It's time for the unmasking stage. At the abandoned amusement park. I'll see you later."
Jude was about to leave, but Callie quickly grabbed him by the arm.
"What do you mean by "I'll see you later"?!"
"Callie, stay out of it, okay? He only wants me, don't risk your life in this! I'm going there by myself!"
"No, you aren't! I'm coming with you!"
"Callie, please!"
"Jude, you can't handle this by yourself! And above all, I can't let you alone with that monster! Please, let me go with you!" she pleaded.
Who was Jude fooling? He really was afraid. He really wanted Callie to come with him, but what if something will happen to her in there? What if something will happen to her if she remains at home?!
Jude thought that it was better for both of them if he let her come with him.
Jude sighed.
"Fine. Let's go."
They ran away from the house.
At the hospital, Mariana was still with Emma.
Suddenly, Mariana received a text message from Callie: "I'm going with Jude at the abandoned amusement park. I didn't want to worry you. We will be alright, I promise. Just stay out of it, ok? I don't want you in any danger."
Mariana's eyes widened and she gasped.
Emma looked at her with confusion.
"What is it?" she asked Mariana.
"Oh my god..." Mariana mumbled.
She looked up at Emma.
"Callie just texted me. She said that she will go with Jude at the abandoned amusement park! By themselves!"
Emma frowned.
"What?! Why?!"
"I don't know, she didn't tell me. She just said that I should stay out of it because she doesn't want me in any danger. We can't do that! We have to go there as soon as possible!"
Emma nodded.
They stood up from the hospital bed and ran off.
Outside the hospital, they bumped into Wyatt.
"Girls, what's going on?!" he asked.
"Jude and Callie are going to the abandoned amusement park!" exclaimed Mariana. "God knows what may happen to them! We need to get there as fast as we can! So, could you please..."
"I'm coming with you!" Wyatt said with braveness.
Mariana and Emma shared a look for a few moments.
Then, they looked back at Wyatt.
"Fine." Mariana said. "Come on, we don't have time to waste, they may already be there!"
They all three ran away.
At the abandoned amusement park, Callie and Jude ran there with the speed of the light.
Callie dropped to her knees, exhausted.
"Callie, get up! We made it! We arrived!"
Jude helped Callie stand up and just as they looked over...
...they saw Lena, many centimeters away from them, unconscious, tied up to a chair and her mouth covered with duct tape!
"MOM!" they both shouted, running to her.
They kneeled to her.
"MOM, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Callie cried, removing the duct tape from her mouth and desperately slapping her across the face, hoping that she may wake up.
"Let's untie her!" cried Jude.
Callie nodded.
Just then...
...they heard some foot steps approaching them from behind.
Jude and Callie quickly stood up and turned around.
It was Ghostface.
Callie went in front of Jude, but he quicky went past her.
With elegance, Ghostface was coming at them with slow steps.
Jude couldn't wait anymore.
"This is the unmasking stage, right?! This is the moment when you reveal your identity, right?! Just go ahead and show us your face already!"
Ghostface tilted his head in amusement.
Then, Ghostface removed the mask...
REVEALING MONTE!
She was having a bruise on her head. She must've been the one who Callie fought with.
Jude and Callie looked shocked.
"YOU BITCH!" shouted Jude.
Monte smirked, tossing her mask aside and letting her long hair fall down.
"Now, now, Jude, watch your language. It's not very polite to talk to your principal like that."
Callie still didn't recover from the shock.
"No..." she whispered. "You can't be!"
"I can!"
Just then, Jude and Callie came face to face with a knife held by Monte.
They looked at her, terrified.
"Gah, you two should definitely see your faces right now! You are shocked!"
"YOU SICK BITCH! YOU KILLED ALL MY FRIENDS! YOU KILLED EVERYONE!" Jude snapped at her.
Monte chuckled.
"What do you mean, Jude? That's so not true."
"Yes it is!" he insisted.
"No, it's not! And you know why? Because I am not going to be the only one who stripped off the mask tonight!"
Jude and Callie shared confused looks.
Then they looked back at Monte.
"Come here, partner!" Monte exclaimed, turning around.
Just then...
...another Ghostface appeared.
"I assume it's my turn to reveal myself now?" Ghostface asked Monte.
"If you wish."
"Okay." Ghostface said with a casual tone.
Ghostface ripped off the mask...
REVEALING MIKE!
Jude and Callie GASPED.
"M-Mike?!" Jude asked in shock and disbelief. "You are the killer, too?!"
"Yes." he answered with an evil chuckle.
He drew his gun to Callie and Jude.
"Nothing like faking your death..." Mike said.
"Or staging your own chase scene..." Monte added.
"To keep you off the radar." Mike continued.
"So, what are your motives, huh?! Why did you kill people?! WHY IS IT MY FAULT?! I'VE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!" Jude angrily shouted at them, losing his temper completely.
"We have one impatient kid in here, right, Monte?" Mike asked her with a smirk.
"Oh, yeah. You definitely sound more fucked up than us!"
"Don't speak of him like that!" Callie shouted at them. "You don't know him! You are the real psychopaths in here!"
Mike and Monte grinned.
"Why, thank you, Callie." Mike said. "It's such a compliment for us to have such flattering words said by someone like you!"
Callie rolled her eyes in anger.
"You won't get away with any of these!" Jude exclaimed.
They both laughed.
"Of course we will, Jude!" said Monte, looking at him with a crazy smile on her face. "Do you wanna see how to get away with murder in a few seconds? I'll show you."
Just then, Monte pulled out a black tissue, wiping her fingerprints from the knife and throwing the knife along with the tissue aside.
"Done. Evidence erased." she said, keeping her crazy grin.
"You'll slip. They always do." Callie said.
Monte scoffed.
"I think we had our fun." said Mike. "Is it "motive time" now, partner?"
Monte laughed in excitement at his question. She said:
"Oh, hell yes, and trust me, Jude, you will be so sho..."
MONTE GOT SHOT IN THE CHEST! SHE FELL TO THE GROUND!
Jude and Callie gasped.
Mike quickly turned around, his gun drawn.
"WHAT THE FU..."
MIKE GOT SHOT IN THE CHEST, TOO! HE ALSO COLLAPSED. HIS GUN FELL FROM HIS HAND AND SPUN AWAY FROM HIS BODY.
Jude and Callie looked over and saw Emma, Mariana and Wyatt.
Mariana had a gun in her hand.
"MARIANA!" shouted Jude, tears of joy in his eyes.
They both ran to hug her.
"Oh my god, thank you..." mumbled Callie, crying of happiness.
After they broke, Mariana said with a smile, proud of herself:
"Every movie has a hero. And you've got yours, too."
They smiled at her in relief.
Mariana dialed Stef and told her to come at the abandoned amusement park as soon as possible, stating that the killers were caught and killed by her.
The killing spree that seemed to last like forever finally ended, like a miracle. It was all over. All over. They were about to feel pace and safety once again in their family.
Those were the thoughts running around Jude's mind, when he suddenly remembered about Lena:
"Mom!" he exclaimed, out of sudden.
"I'm going to untie her." said Callie, running off.
She took Monte's knife and raced to Lena, wiping her tears. She kneeled to the chair.
"Oh my god, mom..." she whispered to her, crying.
Callie began to cut the rope with the knife, as Lena slowly woke up.
When she opened her eyes completely, she gave Callie a small smile.
"Callie, honey..." she whispered to her.
"It's okay, mom. It's over."
After saying those words, Callie's full of mercy face quickly turned into a LESS THAN PLEASANT ONE.
In one split second...
...CALLIE SLIT LENA'S THROAT!
EVERYONE SCREAMED!
"I'm sorry, MOM." she bitterly said to her.
Drawing her last breath, Lena watched her adoptive daughter in disbelief and shock.
Lena's head slumped backwards. She was dead.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" shouted Jude, his face red from crying.
Mariana looked as shocked and confused as him.
Just then, Callie got up from the ground and slowly turned her head around to Jude and the others, sporting a WICKED SMILE.
Then, Callie pulled out a voice changer from her pocket and spoke into it:
"Surprise, Jude!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
She tossed the voice changer aside, looking at Jude, and then at the others.
Tears streamed down Jude's and Mariana's faces.
"DID YOU KILL JESUS?!" Mariana shouted at her, crying.
Callie made a face.
"How can you accuse me of such a horrible thing, sis?" she answered with fake sadness, her smile still not fading from her face. "You know I won't ever do anything to hurt you!"
"Don't call me sis!" Mariana snapped.
"That was the work of one of my fellows down here."
Callie pointed with the finger to Mike and Monte, who were laying down on the ground.
"Such awful killers by the way." she continued.
Callie's true colors started to take shape. She's a deeply troubled sociopath.
Jude tried to make a break for it. But he saw Callie pointing the knife at him.
"How did you turn into this? What made you join them?" Jude asked her, regaining his ability to speak after such a big shock.
"Oh, Jude, that's where you are wrong! I was the one that made them join me! I planned this whole thing all along!" she answered with a chuckle.
Jude made a face.
"What?!" he asked in disbelief. "This can't be true!"
"Things are not always what they seem. Your words, Jude."
"But... you were devastated when Jesus died! You were crying your lungs out!"
"It's called acting, Jude. Also, do you remember that morning when I woke up tired and I said that I chatted with Wyatt the whole night?"
Jude realised almost instantly:
"You didn't actually do that. You were the one that killed Daria."
"Yes." she happily answered, proud of herself.
"WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO IT?! WHY DID YOU DO EVERYTHING?! WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH?!"
"Why? WHY?! Did everyone hear that? Jude needs a reason. I'll give you one."
She went closer to him. He looked at her in fear.
"You ruined my life." Callie mumbled, tears filling her eyes. "Ever since we moved in this family, you made my life hell!"
"Callie, what are you talking about, I haven't..."
"TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY!"
"FOR WHAT?!"
"Oh, come on now, I thought you were smarter than that, Judicorn."
"I don't get what you're talking about."
"I'm talking about love, Jude."
"Love?!" asked both Mariana and Emma.
"Yes. Love. Ever since I first met Brandon, I fell in love with him. As you may already know, we had our moments, but everytime, those moments didn't last. Why?! Because of Jude, of course! It was always about you. Everytime I broke up with him it was from the same reason: you. You were such a big influence on me and Brandon! You just couldn't stand seeing your siblings happy together, now could you? I mean, you were allowed to suck Connor's dick but I'm not allowed to have a normal relationship with a guy I love?! Just think of it, Jude, if you didn't ever get in the way of our relationship, would I still be this fucked up?!"
"YOU HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF!" Jude shouted at her.
"Wait, wait, wait." Emma said. "So, all of these, you've done all of these just to get together with a guy who happens to be your adoptive brother?! Really?! That's just silly and very sick!"
"SHUT UP, BITCH!" Callie shouted at her, enraged.
Everyone startled.
"You weren't even supposed to make it to the final act. But it's so hard to find good accomplices these days."
"But what about Monte and Mike?" asked Mariana. "What are their motives?!"
"They are just some sad and old psychopaths, Mariana. They don't need any reasons to be killers. Me, on the other hand, I have my reason and I stick with it. No changing my mind."
"They will figure out who did all of these!" Jude exclaimed, heartbroken.
"No, they won't. And you know why? I'll tell you how this story ends: the thought of me still having feelings for Brandon drove Wyatt mad and he just snapped. So, he dressed in a Ghostface costume and started killing people. In the end, he kidnapped Brandon, knocked him out, tied him up and locked him in a closet from our house, intending to frame him. Then, he lured us all in here for the final showdown and he killed everyone. Wyatt tries to kill me, too, but I turn the tables on him and kill him instead. Afterwards, me, the survivor teenager of the real life Ghostface killing spree, I will go back to my house and rescue Brandon, and we will be happy our whole lives. End of the movie. Roll credits. Such a perfect ending. And you know what the best part is? The best part is that I won't even have to remove my fingerprints from the knife."
Wyatt looked at Callie in shock.
"What?!" he said with a big frown on his face. "Why did you have sex with me in the first place if the person you really want is Brandon?!"
"Oh, Wyatt..."
Callie went closer to him.
"In case things didn't go as planned... I just wanted to know how it felt."
Right after saying those words...
...CALLIE STABBED WYATT IN THE HEART!
EVERYONE SCREAMED!
"NOOOOOO!" they all shouted.
Wyatt dropped to his knees in instant pain. His face registered disbelief, too.
He doubled over, bleeding. Just then...
...CALLIE STABBED HIM AGAIN!
In that moment, Wyatt realised he had been used, played and betrayed.
And with that, Callie stabbed him again. Wyatt couldn't believe it. He was stunned and shocked.
Emma covered her eyes with her hands, feeling mercy for him. She was crying.
Wyatt fell back, crumbling to the floor. Still.
As Callie looked down at him with a glimmer of diabolical glee.
A quick kick of her foot. His body didn't move. He was dead.
She let out a victorious chuckle.
Jude couldn't hold it anymore.
"I get it. I get it, you hate us!" he said, pointing his hand to Mariana. "But why did you kill my friends?! THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!"
"To watch you suffer, Jude!" she answered, smiling at him. "It was such a pleasure to see you suffering when you were going through all that hell and everything. It was priceless. And after all, everyone loves a big body count."
"Couldn't you just move in with the Quinns?!" Mariana asked her. "You had to kill everyone, including our brother, just to get back together with Brandon?!"
"Of course, I could've done that."
Mariana gave her a fake smile.
"But... I needed a rational reason for me moving in with them. Mom would do anything in her power to make me remain in this family, but after this madness, she won't have a choice!"
Mariana and Jude couldn't believe what they were hearing from the mouth of their so-called sister.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH, YOU KILLED MOM!" Jude shouted.
"Lena was no mother to me. It was always about you, Jude. She never really loved me."
"You are insane."
"Says the one who kissed a guy and liked it."
This comment made Jude to tear.
"Shut up! Don't talk to him like that!" Mariana defended him.
"But... I loved you..." Jude mumbled to her, crying again.
Callie looked at him with fake mercy and let her hand with the knife down.
"Awww, Jude... If it makes you feel any better..."
She leaned in closer to Jude's ear and whispered:
"I did love you, too. But I don't. Not anymore."
"You are crazy as fuck." said Emma. "And you won't get away with any of this!"
Callie scoffed and smiled at her sarcastically.
"If you say so. By the way, you can get up from the ground now, partners."
Jude, Mariana and Emma frowned.
Just then, Monte and Mike stood up, fully alive and 100% fine.
WTF?!
"How are you two still alive?! I thought I shot you!" Mariana asked them in disbelief.
"It's called bulletproof vest, Mariana. Can you spell it?" Mike answered to her.
Mariana looked at him with anger.
"Enough with talking. It's time for some blood." Callie said in a cold tone. "I don't know about you, guys, but I've got a little bit knife happy and I am in the mood for some slicing."
"You are damn right. It's really time for some blood." said Mariana, pointing the gun at her.
"You don't have the guts, bitch."
"Try me."
Mariana pulled the trigger, but no bullet came out. Mariana frowned. She tried again. Still nothing.
"Fuck, no!"
Callie laughed at her.
"So sad! It looks like you ran out of bullets!"
Callie pointed the knife back at Jude.
"Callie, you don't have to do this. I can help you!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, Jude, you are the one who needs help right now, but sadly, you won't get any."
"Put the knife down, Callie!" Mariana said. "Mom is on her way, you might just give up now!"
"You didn't tell her it was us. You didn't know it was me, too at the time, Mariana. I'm not afraid. You'll be dead by then anyway..."
Just then...
...CALLIE SLICED MARIANA'S STOMACH!
JUDE AND EMMA SCREAMED!
Mariana shrieked in pain, holding her bleeding stomach. She was weakened. She dropped to her knees.
"NO!" they both shouted.
"Fuck yes..." mumbled Callie with an evil smile.
Emma raced to Callie but she threw Emma aside. Emma grunted.
Jude couldn't bear it anymore.
"YOU PSYCHOTIC BITCH!" he shouted his lungs out at her.
Callie tried to slit Jude's throat, but he jumped. She tried to stab him again and he dodged the attack, tackling Callie to the ground and choking her.
Callie groaned in anger.
Emma got up from the ground and went to help but Monte attacked her, pulling out another knife from inside her Ghostface robe with an evil smirk.
"Move out of my way, bitch!" Emma shouted at her.
Emma kicked Monte in the stomach, knocking her over. Then, she helped Mariana up and Mike swung his arm over, stabbing Emma in the leg with a knife he pulled out.
Emma screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Mariana used her leg to kick Mike right in the face.
"You okay?" Mariana asked Emma, kneeling to her and seething in pain.
"No." she answered. "Are you?"
"Hurtin' like hell, but I'll live."
That's when Emma saw Mike's gun on the ground.
She crawled over to it and grabbed it.
Emma pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting Mike in the face and splattering blood all over.
He hit the ground, DEFINITELY DEAD NOW.
Emma turned the gun to Callie as she continued to fight with Jude...
...but the gun was kicked out of her hand by Monte.
Monte swung her knife at Emma who crawled away and dodged her swings.
Suddenly...
...Jude kneed Callie in the chest!
Callie flipped backwards.
Jude sprang up.
"FUCK YOU!" he shouted.
Jude turned to Mariana, who was laying on the ground, starting to lose unconsciousness due to the blood loss, as Monte swung her knife around at him.
Jude tackled Monte to the ground, wrestling with her knife.
Monte flipped Jude over and started bringing the knife down towards Jude, who was trying to fight her off.
"HE'S MINE!" Callie shouted.
Callie brandished her knife and dived it into Monte's back.
Monte screamed and Callie pulled the knife out.
She grabbed Monte by the hair and pulled her onto her feet.
She tossed Monte through a nearby glass mirror, most likely from the fun house.
Monte was dead. She had glass impaled into her neck. Her face looked surprised... even in death. Her knife laid on the ground nearby.
Back to Callie and Jude.
Jude punched Callie, sending her backwards.
He backed up away from her and Emma grabbed Callie by the hair, throwing her to the ground.
"Fucking BITCH!" she shouted.
She kicked Callie in the face, causing a nosebleed.
Callie grabbed Emma's boot, sending her to the floor.
Emma attempted to get up and run, but she couldn't because of her stab wound in the leg thanks to Mike.
Just as she turned around to crawl away, she smacked right into Mariana.
She was still bleeding from her stomach wound, looking dizzy, but still alive.
"Mariana! Mariana, we need to run..."
Suddenly...
...Callie swung at Mariana!
Mariana ducked and keeled over due to her wound.
"Fuck, I'm in pain..." she groaned.
"GET UP, MARIANA!" Emma shouted at her.
Callie swung down at Mariana. Mariana rolled over and saw Mike's gun close to her.
She grabbed it and took aim at Callie.
Tears running down her cheeks, she slowly sat up.
She aimed it at her, arms shaking.
"This is for letting Jesus get killed!" shouted Mariana, shooting Callie straight in the chest.
Callie fell to the ground.
Mariana managed to crawl to her.
"This is for killing mom!"
She shot her again.
"And this is for torturing my little brother!"
She shot her the third time.
Mariana held the smoking gun for a moment, and then lowered it slowly. She dropped it to the ground.
Jude quickly got up and went to check on Mariana and Emma.
Emma was hugging Mariana, both of them crying.
They made it. It was finally over.
After they broke, Mariana mumbled to Jude:
"Is she...?"
Mariana and Emma dropped to the ground and finally fell into unconsciousness. They were exhausted.
"I don't know..." answered Jude. "They always come back."
Callie was right behind Jude, still alive and up, slowly approaching to him, knife raised.
Jude noticed her behind him and took a knife from the ground, standing up and turning around to Callie...
...BOTH SLITTING EACH OTHER'S THROATS!
They fell to the ground, dead, facing each other.
A while later
THE AFTERMATH.
Flashing squad cars and ambulances. The carnage was overwhelming. Police barricaded the park. Media gawked from the distance.
Getting carried on stretchers in the back of two ambulances, were Mariana and Emma, both badly injured, but still alive.
Stef just stood there, staring guiltily at this horror show. Eyes full of tears.
Just then, Brandon placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Mom, are you okay?" he asked, his eyes filled with tears, too.
He had a bruise on his head, due to the moment when Callie, dressed in the Ghostface costume, knocked him out and locked him in a closet from their house.
Stef didn't answer anything. She was terribly shaken and filled with guilt. She was just silently sobbing and crying as reporters arrived and swarmed her with questions.
In the back of the coroner's van, the last body was about to get carried on a stretcher: Jude's dead body.
Jude's face seemed peaceful, relieved, silent, IN DEATH...
The End
