Scream V (2022) My Version

Chapter Ten: David's Demise

Having been at the sheriff's station most of the morning, Wes and the others had decided to skip school and head to the hospital for the day. They had wanted to see Tara. The only ones who hadn't gone with them was David, Chad and Liv. Liv had a project due while David and Chad had football practice. It was Amber's idea to stop by the diner and grab food for Tara. Amber had brought Tara a veggie burger with fries. She got the same. Wes, Nate and Mike got burgers and fries. Mindy and Stacy brought veggie patties with onion rings and a Diet Coke. They then headed towards the hospital.

At the hospital, Sam sits next to Tara, who's watching her protectively. Wes, Mindy, Nate, Stacy, and Amber all arrived at the hospital to see Tara. Sheriff Hicks was already there questioning Sam about what happened last night. Christine and Ben had gone home to change they're clothes. Richie stayed behind to protect Sam and Tara. Richie and Amber stood next to them as Sheriff Judy questions Sam.

"He called you on your phone?" Sheriff Hicks asked.

"Yes." Sam answered. She looks over at Amber. "It was Amber's number."

"He must've cloned my phone when he stole it and pretended to be me." Amber said.

"Yeah. Or you did it." Richie accused.

Judy turns to Richie.

"And where were you when this happened?" Sheriff Hicks asked. Richie lamely shrugs.

"I was... watching Netflix." Richie said defending himself.

"Super solid alibi, bro." Amber said.

"So where were you?" Richie asked.

"Me? I was at home and then at police station talking to the Sheriff. But, you know, the Netflix alibi's good too-" Amber said sarcastically.

"Both of you, stop it." Sheriff Hicks said.

"You're gonna put more cops on her room, right?" Sam asked.

"We're stretched really thin, the best we can do is move you to a private floor. Deputy Vincent knows what he's doing. You'll be safe." Sheriff Hicks said.

"Like we've been so far?" Sam said snarkily. Sheriff Hicks gives her a bit of an icy stare. Sam softens up. "I'm sorry. We're just scared that's all." Sam said apologetically. Sheriff Hicks softened.

"I get that and we're doing everything that we can. Ok?" Sheriff Hicks said.

"Ok." Sam said.

"We'll be in touch." Sheriff said before leaving the room. Wes left the room with her.

"I got you some food." Amber said to Tara.

"I could eat." Tara said. Amber smiled.

"I'm so starving I could eat a horse." Mike said.

"Or look like one." Mindy said as the group laughed. "You want some Sam?"

"No thanks. I'm not hungry." Sam said smiling politely. She watched as Stacy, Nate, Mike and Amber began to eat their food with Tara.

Outside of Tara's hospital room, Wes talks to his mom.

"Why are you and not in school?" Judy asked.

"Well because you kept us at the station most of the morning. It didn't make sense for us to go into school for rest of the day. Besides, we wanted to see Tara." Wes said. Judy smirked at her son. She knew about his crush on Tara and they're very short and brief relationship.

"You mean you wanted to see Tara." Judy said. Wes smiled rolling his eyes. "It's ok. You can skip today but not tomorrow."

"Yes ma'am." Wes said as he made his way back into Tara's room. Judy left.

"Everything ok with your mom?" Sam asked.

"Yeah it's cool. We got food for Tara. You want something Sam?" Wes asked.

"No thanks. Not hungry." Sam said giving him a fake smile.

After working on her project, Liv was walking across the park past the football field. She was thinking about Vince. He wasn't boyfriend material but didn't deserve to die. She turns spotting Chad. Had running towards her and sped up her walking. She was in no mood to deal with him asking her out again.

Chad made his way over to Liv. He thought she looked so beautiful. He wanted her bad. He wanted her to be his girlfriend but she didn't want him. He didn't know why. He considered himself handsome. At least that's what his mom thinks. He's fairly smart with a nice body. He was also a nice guy. Why didn't she like him? He didn't know but one thing was for sure, he was glad he didn't have any competition for Liv's heart which he was determined to win.

"Hey Liv." Chad said catching up to her.

"What is it Chad?" She asked nastily.

"I was hoping we could talk for a moment." Chad said to her.

"I gotta get going." Liv said hoping to just walk away without him asking her out.

"Please, just two minutes of your time." Chad begged. Liv rolled her eyes at him.

"Fine. What is it?" Liv asked with an attitude.

"How's your day going?" Chad asked making conversation.

"It was fine until you called to me." Liv said. Chad looked away sadly.

"So, now that Vince is out of the way, how's about giving me a shot?" Chad asked. David watched amused.

"Fuck off Chad. I told you I'm not going out with you." Liv said angrily then turning to walk away. Chad felt hurt behind that. How was he to win her over if she didn't give him a chance? He shook his head walking back to practice with the team. David placed an arm over his shoulder feeling bad for his teammate.

After football practice, the players all changed and left. Chad was the last to leave. He stayed an extra hour to weight train then decided to leave. David wanted to weight for another hour before deciding to leave.

David is a good looking young man who is built like a teenage Sly Stallone. He was a powerhouse on the gridiron as well. Ranked one of the best defensive linemen in the county, he loves football. More over he loves shoving his opponents around like rag dolls. He was good at that and wants to someday play professional football.

He was doing bench presses lifting three hundred pounds. He finished having done five sets of twenty and sits up on the bench. Using the towel, he wipes the sweat beads off his face forehead. He stood up and went to the mirror in the gym and begins posing like a bodybuilder showing off his muscles.

"Yeah look at these biceps. Dope as fuck." David said to himself still posing. His phone rings pulling him away from his posing in the mirror. "Hello." He answered not bothering to check the caller ID.

"Hi. Uh who is this?" A female voice in the other line asked.

"Who is this?" David asked.

"Uh I think I may have the wrong number." The female voice said.

"Oh ok." David said.

"Bye now." Female voice said about to hang up.

"Wait. Don't hang up." David smirking.

"Why?" Female voice asks.

"I wanna talk to you." David said. The female voice on the other line didn't speak. David sat back down on the bench. "Are you still there?"

"I'm here." Female voice said.

"Well you sound hot." He continued.

"Do I now?" Female voice asked.

"Yeah you do. Are you hot?" David asked smiling hoping she was. He'd be able to get her to go out with him.

"I look like Scarlett Johansson." Female said.

"Oh shit! Scarlett Johansson is so hot." David said excitedly.

"So who do you look like?" Female asks.

"Well I look like a younger hotter Sly Stallone with red hair." David said.

"Come on no you don't." Female voice said.

"Yeah I do. I was told that by my mom." David said still sporting a cheesy smile.

"So tell me David what are you into?" Female voice asked him.

"I play football." David said.

"Really?!" Female voice on the other line asks.

"Yeah." David responds.

"Let me guess varsity. Am I right?" Female voice asked.

"Yep." David said.

"Think you'll go pro some day?" Female voice asks.

"I hope so." David said. "What about you what kind of things are you into?"

"I love to watch movies." Female voice said voice said.

"What type of movies?" David asked.

"Scary movies." Female voice says.

"Me to. We have that in common." David said.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" Female voice asked.

"I love the stab movies. I watch a marathon every year." David said.

"Well how would love to be in your own stab movie?" Female voice asked sinisterly.

"What?" David asked. A click sound can be heard as the voice changes.

"It's about a dumb jock who gets the shit stabbed out of him. David stands up alert now. He looks around the empty gym.

"Who the fuck is this?" David asked.

"It ain't Scarlett Johansson." Ghost face said sarcastically. David doesn't say anything. David begins moving towards the door and looks outside to see if he sees anyone. "You know, I know some jocks are stupid but you take the cake David."

"FUCK YOU! MOTHERFUCKER!" David yelled cursing.

"Wanna know how dumb you are?!" Ghost face asked taunting him. "You're so dumb, I said your name twice and you didn't even give it to me. Your stupid ass never caught on to that. Boy are you dumb."

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE! You wanna fuck with me?! Huh?! I'll kick your ass!" David said.

"You'll have to find me first dumbass. It must be so lonely in that big gym right next to the locker room." Ghost face said continuing to taunt David.

"Fucker!" David said moving towards the locker room find the killer could there. He moves theough the lockers looking for the killer. He checked the showers but found nothing.

"Can you see me David?" Ghost face asked teasingly.

"Why don't you come out and fight me fucker!" David said. Unbeknownst to him, the ghost face killer came from its hiding place behind the big double door. David's back is to the killer sneaking up behind him.

"Gladly." The killer said stabbing David in the back. David cries out stumbling forward. Ghost face follows. David spins around seeing the killer and angrily grabs ghost face lifting the killer up slamming the figure to the floor close to the lockers. David tries to choke the killer but the killer kicks David back. His back hits the other locker hard driving the knife farther into his back. Ghost face pulls out another knife stabbing him in the stomach. Blood pores from his back and stomach. David is getting weaker by the second. Ghost face pulls the knife down towards his groin more blood spills from him. David using his last bit of energy does his best to push ghost face away but he's fading quickly. Ghost face pulls the knife from his back and uses it to slice his throat open. With blood seeping from his back stomach and now his throat, David's life slips away. He dies. Ghost face grabs his legs and pulls him towards the football field and using rope hangs David's dead corpse on the field goal post before escaping.
