-3rd person-

Dewey, Gale, Mark, and Nikki all looked at Sidney and saw Sidney hugging Evie. After that, Dewey and Gale hugged Sidney.

"The kids?" Mark asked.

"My dad's watching them." Sidney replied.


-Evie-

"You shouldn't be here, Sid." Dewey says.

"I had to. I came as soon as Mark told me." Mom says then looks at me. "Evie, what made you do that?" She asks, sounding a little mad.

"He was gonna kill my best friend then my godfather, Mom. I wasn't about to let either of them die, so I did what I had to do to save them." I say.

She sighs and hugs me again and I hug back.

"Doctors said she got lucky." Dad says. "Knife just barely missed any organs and arteries."

"Because he wants me to suffer." I say. "And he's targeting Sam and her sister along with everyone else close to me to ensure that happens.

My mom sighs. "I was hoping history wouldn't repeat itself."

"But it is, Mom. Which is why I didn't want to drag you back into this. You've been through this enough."

"...I'm not condoning what she did...but she saved my life. And Samantha's sister, Tara." Dewey says.

My mom sighs.

"Mom, I need to tell you something." I say then she and I walk a little ways away.

"What is it, honey?" She asks.

"You'll see Sam if a girl with wavy brown hair comes by...but she's the daughter of your psycho ex boyfriend." I say.

"...Billy..."

I nod. "But there's something else. The killer's convinced he knows you. Is there anything you're not telling me?"

She takes a deep breath. "Remember when I said I don't much about my high school experience?"

"Yeah, back when I was about to start freshman year. I wanted to know what to expect."

She sighs. "Billy was part of the reason I don't talk much about high school. Another part...is because shortly after killing him...I realized I was pregnant. I knew it was his. I wanted to protect the baby, so your grandpa arranged a closed adoption. I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl."

I start to put some of the pieces together. "Mom...what if the child you gave up...is the person who's been harassing me?"

I see the tears in her eyes and hug her. She hugs back. "I'm so sorry, honey..." She says.

"Mom..." I start then pull back a bit. "This is not your fault. You couldn't have known this would happen."

"But maybe I should've...I was just..."

"Scared?"

She nods.

"Mom...I'll get to the bottom of this. I swear."

She nods, knowing she can't talk me out of it. We walk back to Dad, Dewey, and Gale and she tells them too. I notice Nikki isn't here and assume she went to work on her podcast.


Later that night, I see Sam and Richie with Tara.

My mom looks at me and I nod.

My mom stands up and walks to them. "Samantha?"

Sam looks at her. "Sam. And you're her. Sidney Prescott, Evie's mom." She says.

I walk to them.

"Look, Sid, I'm sorry..." Sam starts.

"You're Billy's daughter. Evie told me."

"We'll be around with the car." Richie says then rolls Tara's wheelchair to his car.

"I am. I'm sorry if that's weird."

"It's not. Look, I've been through this many times. If you wanna talk..." Mom offers.

"I appreciate that...but I'm leaving with my sister." Sam says then leaves.

I follow her. "My mom tried that and it followed her. You don't see me running, do you, Sam?"

"This is your family's life, not mine."

I yank her arm and glare at her. "Don't you ever fucking say that again!" I snap.

"Sam, I'm not so sure about what you said." Mom says.

"Lady, what do you want?" Sam asks.

"Watch the tone, new girl. 'It all goes back to the original', right?" Gale says then points to my mom. "The original."

"We need your help. Because this is your life now. Whoever's targeting my daughter will keep coming after you."

"So?" Sam asks.

"So, help us end this prick." I say.

"Help you and your family commit murder, Evie? What am I in this? The bait or the helpless victim?"

"Well...Ow!" Gale starts before I elbow her in the ribs.

"Sam, you're not helpless." Mom says. "He killed your friend, he nearly killed Dewey and your sister. I have kids so I won't rest till this guy is dead."

"I'm sorry about what this did to your life, Sid. All of your lives, guys. But this isn't my story." Sam says then looks at me. "It's yours." She adds as Richie pulls up.

"You're right. This is my story. But you're part of it whether you like it or not." I tell her.

"Sam, please get in the car." Richie says as Sam opens the door.

"We share a half sibling, Sam!" I say and she freezes then looks at me.

"...What?"

I nod. "Mom told me and the others. Before she killed him, my mom and your dad hooked up. Nine months later, my mom gives birth and her dad arranges a closed adoption. Now, that sibling is here and wants us both to suffer."

"...All the more reason to leave. This is the only way to prorect Tara."

"You think I don't understand what you're thinking, Sam?! I have younger sisters too! But running away with them wouldn't be enough to protect them." I say, but know I'm getting nowhere. "You know what? Run. Just like you always do. I don't need your help anyway."

She gets in then they drive off.

I sigh.

"I put a tracker on the car." Mom says. "Come on, honey. Mark, you and Dewey be ready in case something happens."

I nod then she and I go to Gale's car with her.

"Be careful, you two." Dad says as the three of us get in and drive.
