Psychopaths (SCREAM 1)

Chapter 8

Billy's POV

I wake up on my side with Amara in my arms, inhaling her scent I pull her closer to me. I haven't slept this well in ages, I wanted to wake up every day to this, but I knew I couldn't.

Flashes of me between her thighs invaded my thoughts. I just wanted to scare her but when she pulled that dagger out on me I wanted to take her then and there.

I pull her closer ready to fall back to sleep but I suddenly hear her whimpering and moving away from me, it looked like she was having a nightmare. I lightly tap her, getting no response so I try again.

In a flash, she's on top of me straddling me breathing heavily with scissors pointed at my heart. I look up at her shocked and a bit turned on. "Angel?" She didn't respond, her eyes looked as if she was in another place. I slowly, gently cup her cheek. She snaps out of it pulling back from me leaning up. "Billy." she breathes out in relief.

I nodded wondering what could've had her so scared. She looks at the scissors in her hands and then back at me. "Sorry," she mumbles holding her head while sitting her scissors on the nightstand.

"It's okay, bad dream?" I ask trying not to focus on how good she feels on top of me.

"More like a bad memory haunts me every once in a while." I nod in understanding, I often relive the kill in my dreams all over again, it was euphoric.

"Wanna talk about it," I asked leaning up against the headboard, pulling her closer by her hips. She holds on to my shoulders blushing, "I've done enough venting don't you think?" she brooded probably recalling our conversation last night.

"No," I cooed gripping her hips. I feel the air shift with our tension for each other. She looked down at my lips her eyes shifting with lust every bone in my body was telling me to take her right here right now. "Billy," she says in a light warning voice.

I love the way my name sounds coming from her lips. "Say my name again," I beg lowly my lips almost touching hers.

A knock on the door interrupts us, I sigh irritated that our moment was ruined again, Amara climbs off me, making me feel cold. "Come in Mom."

I quickly dive off the bed hiding behind her canvases and stuffed animals. She gives me a bewildered look before putting her attention back to the door opening.

"Morning I have breakfast downstairs." She says walking in and looking around "Where did Billy go?"

I poke my head from the side of her bed, "how did you know I was here?" She laughs shaking her head

"I walked into you two cuddling when I got home."

I scratch my neck embarrassed. "Oh," she smiles, not affected. She always knew about my feelings for her daughter.

"Breakfast Billy?"

"Yeah, sure I have to go home first to shower and change first." She nods giving Amara a look before walking out and closing the door. She rolled her eyes before looking at me, I walked closer to her looking down at her. "I'll be back okay?"

She nods kissing my cheek before heading into the bathroom. I touch the spot she kisses and feel my heart racing faster, she affected me so much. She's a damn distraction.

I headed to my temporary home at Stu's since I argue with my dad every time I see his face. I've come close to killing him many, many times throughout the year I'd give anything just to feel his insides through my fingertips. For me to be the last thing he sees before he takes his last miserable breath.

I walk in to see Stu passed out on the couch with popcorn and candy all over him. I pick up a couch pillow and hit his face with it, he dramatically falls off the couch groaning before looking up at me annoyed.

"Fuck man, could you be normal for once?" He gets back up dusting off the couch before sitting down.

"I'm not normal." I shrug, and he nods laughing I sit next to him putting my arm up.

"So how'd it go with A? You scare her good?" He says greedily, he wanted to be the one to scare her while I called her but I wasn't letting that happen.

"I did at first," I reply pushing my hair out of my eyes. Stu starts laughing uncontrollably, "Don't tell me she hit you with Betsy."

"No, she sliced my shoulder with a dagger that she pulled from her thigh," I state, just remembering it gets me hot and bothered, she had me wrapped around her finger and she didn't know it. Stu laughs not taking me seriously.

I hit his shoulder not seeing what's so damn funny. "Oh, you're serious?" I nod.

"That's hot" he replies looking into space as if imagining.

"Yeah, she almost took my head off with her bat. You were right something's different about her."

"The bat has a name... Wait Did you just say I was right?" He questions seriously.

"No those words will not come out of my mouth twice," I reply deep in thought.

"Did you make her scream loud?" He questions, and my mind immediately goes to dirty thoughts. "You could say that,"

"I want a turn," Stu says in a serious tone. "No" I reply. "You're not the only one who missed her man."

"No, but I'm the only one who went looking for her." I snap back. Stu goes quiet.

"Am I still throwing the party Friday or what?" I think long and hard. "No," I answer getting up to take a shower. Stu runs in front of me stopping me

"Woah buddy, what do you mean no? You've been planning this a whole year." He argues.

"We can still do it, just a little later," I reply in a dry tone.

"What about Sidney, just gonna cheat on her with Mara?" He questions.

"No, I'm breaking up with Sydney," I state, "I have no feelings for her whatsoever, I'm not gonna torture myself and Amara for revenge. I love that girl, she told me her feelings once and I ignored them and she walked out of my life. I won't make that mistake again."

"Then how is she gonna be led to the house?" Stu asks confused. "We can use Tatum to lead her there or even Randy," I reply. Stu shakes his head "We need three more sacrifices,"

"Will you relax I have this handled,"

Stu puts his hands up in surrender, "Okay you're the boss, We're still on for the plan tonight though right."

"Yeah Stu, I'll even do the phone call this time." Stu smiles happily at that idea.

"Great now leave me alone, I need to shower to head back over to Amara's," I say heading up the stairs.

Amara's POV

I was in class trying my very hardest not to fall asleep, the bell ringing woke me out of my daze making me jump up quickly and walking to my locker.

I put my combination in and started putting my books away since I had art next, probably the only class I wouldn't sleep in.

"Hi," a deep voice makes me look from my locker to up at him. He looked very familiar to me.

"Amara right?" He asks, putting his arm up on the locker and relaxing against it. Who the hell does he think he is?

"Yes?" I asked backing away a little. "Thought that was you it's me, Alex."

His name makes my smile drop completely, Alex was Steve's best friend, he had a sweet persona but underneath was a snake. "What do you want?" I question not bothering to hide my anger.

"Damn I see you still mad about that misunderstanding," he says with a cocky smile. Did he just? I count down from five in my head.

"I didn't misunderstand anything," I state trying to walk away but he grabs my arm.

"Is that why you killed Steve? Because of what we almost did to you?." I snatch my arm back ready to snap back but before I can Billy comes out of nowhere grabbing Alex by his collar and slamming him against the locker hard making everyone stare.

I go to stop Billy but Stu stands in front of me giving me a warning look.

"We were just talking Billy" Alex choked out with fear in his voice.

"Touch her again, I'll break every bone in your hand, you even speak her name I'll make you wish you were never born," Billy says in a bone-chilling voice, he sounded serious. Pushing past Stu I place a hand on Billy's chest pushing him away from Alex.

"He's not worth it." Billy instantly relaxes and leans into my hand. "You sure? Say the word and I'll-" I quickly cut him off.

"I'm sure, come on."

Billy lets go of Alex, who struggles to catch his breath and balance. Billy puts an arm over my shoulder and pulls me to him.

"What happened?" Tatum and Sidney walked up looking at the three of us. Stu walks over to kiss Tatum's lips. " Billy was defending me," I say hugging Billy tighter.

Sidney gives me an odd look, not one of jealousy or hate. I couldn't tell what it was, but when she noticed that I noticed her staring, she looked away blushing.

"Girls' night sleepover, you're both coming over right after school." Tatum squeals excitedly. I look at her in confusion, "it's last minute don't you think?" I asked not feeling comfortable.

"If you would've called like you were supposed to last night." Tatum says, "Who kept you busy all night hmm?"

My mind immediately goes back to the masked killer between my legs, I feel myself turn red.

"Aww she's turning red, think she did have fun," Stu says wiggling his eyebrows.

"Leave her alone Fuck wad," Bill says pushing Stu.

"I'll walk you to Art," Billy says automatically dragging me with him not waiting for an answer.

I tried not to fall asleep in art since it was my favorite class but I was so tired. I feel eyes on me again and turn to my left. That same kid who was staring at me at the fountain was staring at me now. Again.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" I ask him lifting and facing my body completely toward him. He looks at me shocked by my question before his face becomes completely red.

"I.. Um.. yes," he pulls his sleeves down over his hands before staring at his fingers as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"Well thanks, I'm honored but if you're staring at someone make sure it's not more than three seconds that's when it gets creepy," I whisper low messing with him.

He immediately nods before rubbing his neck. "So where's your camera?" He looks up at me his face filled with surprise. I'm not blind I've seen him around.

"My locker I didn't wanna risk getting paint on it," he explains low in a whisper I almost didn't hear him. I was about to ask him something else but the bell rang and he darted out of the classroom leaving a trail of smoke behind.
