Heres chapter 10. Enjoy! Love you guys Bye!
The next day, Rachel strolled down the hall, still a little flustered from last night. But it is going to be ok, right? she thought, maybe Ghostface was going to give up? Although that was probably unlikley. Ghostface probably was just getting started and by the end of the month, they would all be dead.
First up on the chopping block, Courtney. If Rachel had heard this back when Quinn was killed, then she would have been glad she was next. But now that Courtney was getting a little bit nicer, they had somehow become friends. Even if she called her a jewnose and a hobbit. Plus, it would kill Rory, Santana, and Brittany if she died. It almost killed them when she told them.
Yes, she told them. She had to. Well, wouldn't have if she had known that they would react like that. If Rachel had known that there would be crying, yelling, physical violence (thanks to Courtney getting payback after Puck uttered that she deserved dying,) and fainting (thanks to Brittany.) From the looks of things, the group was falling apart at the seems in no time.
As she passed the girls washroom, a hand came out of the door and grabbed her arm. Rachel sqeuaked at the contact as she was pulled into the bathroom. After she gained her bearings, she looked around to see Santana squeezing the circulation out of her arm, Brittany leaning up against the wall looking more confused than usual, and Courtney sitting on the bathroom counter and looking at the floor. Santana glared at them both.
"Court, tell Rach what you told me," Santana snapped. Courtney looked Rachel in the eyes and Rachel found tears in her eyes.
"I-I'm a h-horrible person," she stuttered.
"We know that," Santana growled, "tell her why." Courtney shook her head no and Santana sneered at her.
"You have got to be kidding me," Santana snarled, "you can say that Quinn's a bitch and Puck is a dumb ass, but you can't tell Rach you slept with Sam?"
"WHAT!" Rachel yelled, shaking Santana loose, "you have got to be fucking joking!"
"She's not," Courtney muttered, "but I didn't mean to." Rachel gave her a confused look.
"What do you mean you didn't mean to?" Rachel snapped, "wait, just tell me what happened."
"Sam walked me home after we found the video," she explained, "and when I got home he offered to stay with me, since my parents are out of town. We had a couple wine coolers and one thing lead to another, and I woke up in nothing but my bra."
"Court, how could you!," Rachel screeched, "what happens when Rory finds out!"
"He won't," Santana snapped, "as long as we are the only one's that know."
"As long as YOU keep your mouth shut we're good," Courtney growled.
"Why me!," Rachel shouted.
"Because it's because of you Finn found out about Puck knocking up Quinn," Brittany explained. Rachel gave the girls a hurt look before nodding in defeat.
"Nothing leaves this room," Santana snarled, "you tell a soul and I will ends you."
"Oops," Brittany mumbled. The girls turned towards the blonde.
"Who did you tell?," Rachel asked.
"I told Tina and Mike, but they won't tell I promise!," Brittany explained.
"When did you tell them THIS!," Santana snapped.
"I've known since this morning," Brittany said, "Lord Tubbington had stopped smoking and I went to Court's to celebrate. I just assumed that since Sam anwsered the door that something went down. that's what I always think when I get drunk and find some footballer in the shower passed out."
"First off, ew. And second, as long as Dancing Queen and Almond Eyes keep their mouths shut about you and Lisa Rena, we're good," Santana muttered. Brittany's face broke into a grin, kowing she wasn't in trouble with Santana.
"Fine, everyone out!," Courtney demanded, "and Rach." Rachel turned towadrs the brunette.
"You tell anyone and I may just have to kill you myself."
Before lunch had even started, the news had been spread around the entire school. Thanks to Brittany. She had told them she let it slip to Tina and Mike and she didn't know some obnoxious rugby player had heard. Well, thanks to her little slip-up, Courtney and Rory were pretty much over. If the silent treatment wasn't a sign.
When Rachel had gotten to her groups usual table, she noticed that the group was divided. The boys, minus Sam, were across the courtyard, trying to calm down a hurt Rory. Sam was sitting with a group of jocks, laughing his head off and giving side glances to a group of cheerios. At her table, Tina, Brittany, and Santana comforting a weeping Courtney.
Rachel set her lunch tray down and went over to the girls. She tried to sit next to Courtney, but Santana was making inpossible by wrapping her in a comforting hug. Brittany was whispering comforting words into her ear, while Tina was dabbing the streams of tears from her blood-shot eyes.
"Court," Rachel murmered, "what happened?" Courtney looked up, rage in her bright red eyes.
"Oh nothing," she said sarcastically, "I'm just crying for no fucking reason!"
"You know what happened," Tina said, "she's just a little emotional."
"A little?," Santana sneered, unwrapping her arms from her fellow cheerio, "you totally went Black Swan on me before lunch."
"Do you guys know who told everyone?," Rachel asked, taking a seat next to Brittany.
"That asshole that tried to hit on me told the school," Santana replied, "but Sam was the one to tell Rory."
"Yeah, our little leprechaun gave him a black eye for that one," Brittany added. Rachel turned to see Sam's attention was on Courtney, his newly blackened eye on display.
"And now I have to change my Facebook status to single," Courtney wept, "I will never touch liqour again."
"Well, on the bright side," Santana said, "you won't have to drink liqour agian, since your next." Courtney hit the latina in the arm, hard enough that Santana actually whimpered at the contact.
"How about this," Rachel suggested, "you and Britt keep Courtney at your house tonight to keep her safe."
"Why not you?," Santana snarled.
"I have a date with Puck at Breadstixs," Rachel explained, "so, deal or no?"
"Fine," Santana hissed, "but if she's killed in her sleep it's your fault."
At Breadstixs
"Rachel, you know I love you right?," Puck asked. Rachel blushed at her boyfriend.
"Of course, why?," Rachel replied.
"It's just," Puck muttered, "you have been really distant this past week. I just don't get why." Rachel took in a shaky breath, trying to keep her eyes away from Puck. She knew that since she heard his conversation with Rory she had been less trusting and less interactive with him. It was no surprise he had noticed and wanted the truth.
"I don't to offended you Puck," Rachel said, "but 2 days ago, the day Kurt was killed, me and Santana heard something we weren't supposed to hear." Puck moved in closer.
"What babe?," he asked, "what did you hear?" Rachel shook her head.
"Nothing," she muttered, "just something about you cheating on me."
"Sweetie," Puck said, leaning across the table so they were face to face, "you know those are just rumours." He closed the gap between their lips, a smile on Rachel's lips as they kissed.
Rachel's phone started vibrating in her pocket, and she unlocked their lips with a sigh as she grabbed it and anwsered the luckily non-anonymous call.
"Het Britt-Britt," Rachel greated.
"Rachel!," Brittany screamed, "do you know what's going on?"
"No why?," Rachel said.
"Trouty Mouth's dead," Santana yelled from the background.
"Your kidding me!," Rachel shouted, freaking out Puck.
"Yeah, he was found down in a hole about a couple minutes ago," Brittany continued.
"Ok, we'll be down there in a second," Rachel said before hanging up. Puck gave her a confused look.
"What happened?," he asked.
"Sam's dead," Rachel said as she grabbed her coat, "we have to go NOW." Without even hestiating, Puck slipped on his coat and followed Rachel out of the resturant, not even bothering to pay the bill.
Rachel and Puck arrived at Sam's house right as his body was dragged out of the ground. He had been shot in the head and a sliver of skin and hair was flapping off of his forehead. Dirt covered him, since he had apprently been in a hole for 2 hours.
They went over to the group, which consisted of Courtney, Rory, Santana, Brittany, Artie,and Finn. Courtney looked shocked and scared, probably since she was supposed to be next, tears streaming down her face. Rachel wrapped her in an hug, cuddling her as the cheerio wept.
"It's ok," she mumbled into the weeping girl's ear.
"No it's not," Courtney sobbed, "I was supposed to be next. I was the one Ghostface was after. Ghostface almost killed me if it wasn't for Sam."
"No, Ghostface was probably trying to send a message, that's all," Rachel mumbled, trying to not believe her own words.
"What message?," Courtney wept, "that it's open season now?" Open season? Rachel thought. She noticed Rory and Puck leave the group, heading behind the house. She was to preoccupied to notice Courtney break the embrace and pass her a note.
"Read it," she muttered, "all your questions will be anwsered. It sure did anwser mine." With that, the bruntette left to go talk to Santana and Brittany.
Rachel gently opened the note, noticing the blood had stuck to the paper after Courtney had read it. It wasn't Ghostface's usual writing, the words more messy than usual, as though the writer was in a hurry to leave Sam's body.
The note read:
Rachel,
You really need to work on your timing. I mean, that bitch deserved to die and yet you STILL have Satan and Twitney protect her? Pathetic.
Well, maybe Sam deserved to die. Mayve I did mean to go to his house and kill him. Maybe now you'll just let everyone die in the order they should instead of trying to protect them.
So now you know your preciuos boyfriend isn't part of it. He was with you all night so he is no longer under suspision. But it does mean he will be a victim soon.
Tell that cheating bitch I'll be waiting. I can't wait to get my hands on her. Cause when I do, I really hope that she goes through hell.
Well, before she gets there.
Ghostface
Rachel folded the letter back up and looked around for Deputy Schuester. She noticed him behind the house, talking to Emma. As she walked towards him, as she passed the shed, two familar voices came from inside
Rory and Puck's.
"Dude, I never thought you had it in you!," Puck whispered happily.
"Well, he deserves everything he got," Rory hissed.
"I thought you wanted out?," Puck asked.
"That all changed the minute I found out about them," replied Rory. The door creaked open and Rachel ducked into a bush. The two boys came out, joy in Puck's eyes while Rory's were filled with rage. Rory placed a hand on Puck's shoulder, stopping him from moving.
"And Puck," he whispered.
"Yeah?," Puck whispered.
"That bitch is next."
A/N :O :O :O Didnt expect that now did ya? So thats chapter 10. Hope you liked it. 2 questions:
1. Who should die after Courtney?
2. How should Scream end: Dream (it was all a crack induced dream JK), Reality (everyone is dead and the killer really is the killer), supernatural (like the victims become vampires or something), or prank (it was all to teach Rachel a lesson)
YOU DECIDE! Alert, favorite, beta, read more, and review. The more reviews I get the faster the next chapter will be up. Thxs for reading love you guys Bye!
