What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? (Ghostface MM)

by BretonMage1

"Doesn't this feel good...?" Ghostface uttered quietly. Eddie could hardly focus on where he was, but his voice sounded awfully close to his ear. "Of course it does..." Ghostface added in a hushed tone. "You just can't get enough, can you?"

11. Complicated

The other survivors were all chatting amongst themselves. Some spoke in hushed tones while others filled the air with obnoxious laughter. It sort of reminded him of a school cafeteria, just mindless chatter lingering in the background. Eddie couldn't help but stare into the campfire, tuning out the voices surrounding him as his mind began to wander./span/p

Eddie had a lot to process. He was apparently Ghostface's obsession. He didn't know just how long that had been a thing, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to. But surprisingly, that was the least of his worries./span/p

And he got hard from it. Eddie visibly cringed at the memory, already palming his forehead out of frustration. He hated even thinking about it. But it was true. It had happened. And Ghostface had definitely felt it. Eddie could practically hear Ghostface's voice in his head, taunting him. He let out an exasperated sigh at the thought./span/p

It was terrifying, of course. But... Just knowing that it was Ghostface chasing him was enough to make him a little excited. He wasn't really thinking clearly to begin with, too caught up in the adrenaline and fear he had experienced. Eddie let out a slow breath, pulling the sleeves of his jacket over his hands. He could make excuses for hours. But that would never change the fact that his body clearly...Liked Ghostface. First he had experienced that lewd dream and now this...? Eddie would have to be a fool to not see the signs. And yet there he was, overthinking it. But he just couldn't help himself. What kind of a sicko would he be if he was attracted to a serial killer?/span/p

It was strange. The man always seemed to let Eddie go, all while killing off his team in the process. It was like there was this unspoken agreement between them, and Eddie couldn't figure out exactly what it was. He had never agreed to anything with Ghostface. But during their last trial, he had been given a choice. Ghostface had stayed true to his word. He didn't hook Eddie for the entire trial, and he seriously could have. Especially after that chase. But, he didn't./span/p

He couldn't stop thinking about it. Ghostface's groin pressed against his... Trapping him in place. Eddie's cheeks warmed at the memory. It was doing stupid things to his head. He wondered briefly if Ghostface was even aware of the affect he had on him. He was always so smug... Eddie rolled his eyes. The fucker always had some shit to say. Of course Ghostface was aware of the affect he had on him./span/p

He looked up from the fire, expecting to see everyone talking amongst themselves like they usually did. But instead...They were all silent. He quirked a brow at the sight, already rising to his feet out of confusion. Everyone had stopped to look towards the entity's shrine. Not so much as a whisper could be heard./span/p

Until finally, he saw it. An old photograph of Bill's face was on the entity's shrine. And below it, a weird looking timer. It was set to twenty-four hours, but it had already started counting down./span/p

The once silent crowd erupted into a frenzy of hushed whispers, everyone gathering around the shrine in awe. Eddie frowned, his eyes flickering from person to person. Bill was getting out...? Out of what?/span/p

So it wasn't certain. People thought that the timer indicated a survivor would be returned home. But there was no proof to confirm that theory. There was no telling what the timer could potentially mean. For all they knew, it could be some sort of trap. He wouldn't put it past the entity to come up with something so sadistic. False hope could be its own form of torture./span/p

So there was a possibility of potentially leaving this torturous place. But it was apparently rare, and came with its own set of risks. Eddie lowered his gaze, instead choosing to stare at the ground. He really was never going to get out of the entity's realm. Even if he did eventually, it would be ages before he would even have a chance of appearing on the shrine. And even then things would still be uncertain. It was a lost cause./span/p
