The Douglas Murders

4

by Scott and Dan


Shannon and Brian were both in Jamaica. You thought they’d be in Aspen, didn’t you? Well, you’re wrong, big time. They won this trip on a radio show contest. They’re now on a cruise ship touring the Caribbean Sea. But little did they know that someone was watching them...

They were both on a balcony staring at the sunset.

"Oh, Brian," Shannon said passionately. "Let’s go back to our room so we can finish what we started."

"Ohhh... yeaaaahhh..." Brian said.

They both anxiously ran back inside the cabin and into their room. Brian opened the door. "I thought you locked it," he said.

"But I did," Shannon replied. "...no, wait, no I didn’t. It doesn’t matter, anyway, let’s hurry up and passionately hold each other all night long."

They ran in, closed and locked the door, and they jumped on the bed, taking each other’s clothes off. Then Shannon paused and sniffed the air. "What’s that smell? OH MY GOD, you stink, Brian! Go wash up before we start having sex. Wait a minute! You DID bring protection, didn’t you?"

"Yeah, I did," Brian answered. Actually, he didn’t, but he didn’t want to mention that to Shannon. He went into the bathroom and closed the door. He started taking a shower.

Shannon was just laying there on the bed, and she sighed. This wasn’t how she pictured her teenage life. Every time she gets turned on, something about Brian always goes wrong.

The phone rang. She picked it up and answered, "Hello?"

A familiar voice said, "Hello? Who’s this?"

"You must have the wrong number," Shannon said.

"No, I’m very sure this is the right number," the guy on the other line said. "What’s your name?"

Shannon answered, "Shannon."

"See, I was calling someone named Shannon. Are you in room 35D?"

"Um, yeah...."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Shannon was starting to like this guy on the phone. "No," she answered.

"Really..." the guy said. "Then who is the guy in the shower?"

Shannon froze. "What did you say?"

"Sorry, I was talking to someone else. There’s this one guy in the shower in my room."

"Oh... look, I gotta go, bye."

"Don’t hang up on me-"

Shannon hung up the phone. The guy was really starting to scare her.

The phone rang again. She answered it.

"Yes?"

"Hi, it’s me again," the guy said, "I wanted to know why you hung up on me."

Shannon told the guy, "That’s enough, stop it! Leave me alone!"

Shannon hung up the phone.

It rang again. She picked it up.

She screamed, "LISTEN YOU STUPID LITTLE PIECE OF HORSE SHIT IF YOU DON’T STOP CALLING, I’M GOING TO KICK YOUR LITTLE ASS!! ....oh, hi Mom. Uh, gotta go, bye!"

Shannon hung up the phone.

She hoped her mom didn’t take it too personal that she called her a piece of shit.

She shrugged it off and decided to surprise Brian in the shower. She walked into the bathroom without making a sound. Then she quickly opened the shower curtain and yelled, "BOO!"

But Brian wasn’t there...

SUDDENLY, the closet door opened behind her. Shannon was so scared she fell into the shower. She realized it was just Brian.

"You ass!" she yelled. "You really scared me! And this right after I get a call from someone who sounds just like the killer in Scream."

"What killer?" Brian asked.

"Never mind." Shannon said, turning off the shower. "Let’s just get down to business."

The two started making out. They stepped back into the shower, and Brian turned it on again. Water poured down on them.

This is the best vacation in my life! Shannon thought.

Just as things seemed perfect, the lights went out. Oh, well, she thought. This just makes things a little more interesting...

After a few minutes of them both in the dark, they REALLY got down to business. They were both shouting things like, "Oh, YES! YES!! YES!!!" After that they both started doing just inarticulate moans. They were both concentrating so hard on doing each other that they didn’t notice someone else walking into the room. Then Shannon thought she heard something like metal rubbing against skin or something, and then Brian REALLY started screaming. It almost sounded like he was in pain.

It all of a sudden felt like she was kissing and touching a cold, wet fish. Brian also started to smell again, but this time a lot worse.

"Brian...? Brian, are you OK?" she started. She stopped. Brian felt heavy on her, like he was leaning on her or something.

She pushed him away and he just sort of fell. It didn’t sound like he was getting up.

Shannon reached for the light switch and turned it on. She screamed. Brian was dead. Blood flowed from his back, mixed with the water, and spiraled down the drain.

She screamed again. "BRIAN’S BEEN STABBED TO DEATH!!"

She ran out of the bathroom soaking wet. She only had time to put on a bathrobe. She picked up the phone. The line was dead. She grabbed her cell phone, but just as she started dialing the batteries went out. Behind her, a closet opened and she screamed when the Scream killer started running after her. Shannon ran out her room, closed the door and ran down the hall screaming her lungs out. Where is everybody? she wondered. Then she remembered that there was a HUGE party happening on the top of the ship, so that’s where they probably all were.

She entered an unfamiliar area. There were pipes along the walls, and steam was in her way, and she had trouble seeing. She didn’t even know if the killer was still behind her. The mist cleared, and then she saw an I Know What You Did Last Summer killer carrying a hook coming after her. She turned around and started running up the stairs, through the halls, and finally she made it on the deck, but she was still at a different level than the party where everybody else was, she was on a balcony. She had to find some way up there. She tried screaming to get their attention, but they couldn’t’ hear her.

Shannon looked back again. Neither of the killers was anywhere in sight. She went into another door and ran down some steps. How the fuck am I ever supposed to get to the party? she thought. "Anybody?! Hello?!" she called out. Nobody answered.

On the bottom of the ship, there was an explosive. In just a few seconds it exploded, tearing a hole into the ship’s hull.

The whole ship buckled under the explosion. Immediately the ship started to sink. It wasn’t too long until people in the party started to panic. They ran around aimlessly, getting lost looking for life boats.

"Where is the crew?!" someone yelled.

Shannon could feel she was getting further and further away from the deck. She tried turning around, but she couldn’t remember where her exact route was. She was just in some empty corridors. The lights flickered on and off. Her feet felt water on the floor. It was getting higher.

"Oh, my God," Shannon said to herself. "What more could go wrong now?"

Then, as if by cue, she saw the fisherman killer with the hook standing at the end of the corridor. As the lights flickered on, he appeared closer, the lights went out, and when they came back on, he was even closer. It was kind of like a strobe light, making it difficult to really tell where the killer was at all times.

The water was up to her knees now, but she still pressed onward. She made it to a door at the other end of the corridor and tried to open it, but it was sealed shut.

"No, NO!" she screamed. She looked behind her. The killer was still coming after her. She struggled with the door. She pounded on it, kicked it, and all the while the water was getting deeper.

She looked behind her again, and the killer was gone. Shannon breathed a sigh of relief.

Shannon heard the door unlock from the other side, and it opened. She yelled, "Hey! You’ve got to help me!"

But it was the Scream killer.

Shannon turned around and immediately tried to get away, but the deep water made it difficult, and the lights weren’t making things easier, either.

The killer sliced her back. She kicked the killer away and kept moving. Finally she made it to some stairs and started climbing them, all the while the killer kept coming after her.

She made it back on the balcony. She could hear people screaming in panic. She closed the door behind her and took a bench and blocked the door with it so the killer couldn’t get on the deck. The party area was still above her, and she couldn’t just climb up and get on.

Shannon stopped as she heard the floor creaking. She looked around. SUDDENLY, the fisherman killer grabbed her and sliced her stomach open with his hook. Shannon screamed as loud as she could, but no one heard her. The killer picked her up and threw her off the ship.

Shannon hit the icy cold water and died.

Meagan was just lazily laying down on a couch in her house. It was about 8:30 in the morning. She was watching TV in her pajamas.

"I love Saturdays," she said.

Then her mom yelled, "Meagan, it’s Wednesday!"

"OH, MY GOD, I’m late for school!" Meagan yelled as she got dressed and ran out the door.

She arrived at school really late. She just sat at her seat in class and did all kinds of junk. The bell rang. In the halls she met up with Nik, one of her friends.

"Hey, Nik," Meagan started. "What’s going on?"

"Oh, nothing much," Nik answered. "After school, I have to go to court. You know, for those pictures on the internet."

Meagan said, "Oh, yeah, isn’t that going to be on TV?"

"Yeah, it is," Nik sighed. "Everything’s been going wrong for me ever since that huge killing spree a year ago."

"Oh, really, that’s too bad..." Meagan said sympathetically. "Look, I gotta go to my next class. See ya, Nik."

"See ya, Meagan," she said back.

There was like this big dance costume thing after school that Meagan was planning to go to, so she couldn’t be at court with Nik. Besides, she didn’t want to be on TV, at least not while she in court.

Nik was just sitting in class not really paying any attention to what the stupid teacher was saying. She glanced out the window, and froze in horror. Outside, she saw Danielle. She was just standing there, staring right back at Nik. She had two gunshot wounds to the head, and she looked like a dead body, but she was still standing.

Nik panicked. She wanted to jump out of her seat and scream.

"What’s wrong?" Ricky asked her.

Nik turned around to answer him. "I-It’s Danielle! She’s outside!"

Nik turned around again to look back at Danielle, but she wasn’t there.

"No, I swear she was there," Nik said.

"Nik," Gary started. "I think you’re just suffering from post traumatic stress."

Nik yelled, "NO! She was there!"

The teacher asked, "Nik, do you think you should see Mrs. Black, the counselor?"

Nik paused. "No, no, that’s OK. I’ll be good."

Then the teacher said, "Well then, let’s move on. We’re going to watch a video about SEX."

Everybody groaned.

"But we already know everything about sex!" Dan said.

"Not me," Joe Butler mentioned.

Dan replied, "That’s just because your parents always try to hide you from the truth and stuff."

"What is sex?" Joe asked.

"Where do you think babies come from?" Tracy asked him.

Joe answered, "The mothers get pregnant."

Tracy replied, "But how do you think that happens?"

Joe answered, "I-I don’t know... no, it can’t be sex!!! NO!!!!!!"

The teacher raised her voice a little. "Now everyone quiet down and watch this video." The teacher turned the lights off and turned the VCR on and played the tape.

Meagan was in the library and she was on a computer. She was checking her e-mail. She had two new messages. She checked the first anonymous e-mail. It said, "I know what you did last summer..."

Meagan almost pissed in her pants. How did someone know that horrible thing she did last summer?!

...wait a minute, she thought. How could someone know? This is probably a prank.

She decided to check the other message she got, from someone named Scream Dude. She gasped as the message came up, saying "You’re going to die tonight, Meagan, just like I killed Brian and Shannon!"

Meagan almost shitted in her pants. Someone knew what she did last summer and someone else was trying to kill her.

...hold on, she thought. Brian and Shannon weren’t dead. They were on a cruise ship in the Caribbean!

"Can you believe it?" someone said behind her. Meagan turned around to see Alice.

Alice continued, "Brian and Shannon are dead..."

"OH MY GOD!" Meagan screamed. "They’ve been murdered!! They must’ve been stabbed to death or something!!"

Alice said, "Actually, no, their cruise ship sank."

Meagan breathed a sigh of relief, "So they weren’t murdered?"

"No," Alice answered. "They just drowned to death... I think. The ship just sank and no one survived."

"Thank God," Meagan whispered. "Oh, not about Brian and Shannon being dead, but because someone sent an e-mail to me and it said he killed them. And some other guy sent an e-mail telling me he knew what we did last summer."

Alice gasped, then paused, then asked, "Uh, what exactly did we do last summer?"

Meagan was in disbelief, "You don’t know?" she asked.

"Uh... no..." Alice answered hesitantly.

Meagan rolled her eyes. "I’ll tell you later," she said. "I can’t tell you in here, we don’t know who could be- OH SHIT!!"

Alice said, "What? What is it?"

"I-It’s Danielle! She was staring at me through the window!" Meagan answered.

"You mean the Danielle that’s supposed to be dead and the one that Nik and Ricky and Gary and Tracy told us about?" Alice asked.

Meagan turned back to Alice, "YES! That’s the one. Now will you please look?"

Alice turned around, but she didn’t see any trace of Danielle. "Where was she?" she asked.

Meagan answered in frustration, "At the window! Well, she’s not there now, but earlier... oh, forget it, I have to go back to class."

Meagan logged out of the computer and they both left the library.

Back in Nik’s class, the video had ended. Everybody was bored and uncomfortable, but Joe was clutching himself, saying over and over, "It can’t be true.... It can’t be true..."

The teacher looked concerned. "Wow," she said. "I didn’t know you were going to take it THAT badly. Maybe you would like to see Mrs. Black, the counselor."

Joe left the room for the Mrs. Black’s office. The hallway was totally deserted except for him. He thought he heard something behind him, but when he turned around nothing was there. He continued on his way toward her office.

When he finally made it, he knocked on the door. "Mrs. Black," he started. "My teacher sent me here so you could give me some counseling. Can you let me in?"

Mrs. Black didn’t open the door, she just called out, "No, I’m busy right now. Try again later."

Joe just turned back and started walking again, but then he slipped on something on the floor. He looked back and realized he had slipped on an envelope. He couldn’t contain his curiosity as he opened the envelope and took out the note from inside.

The note said in big stark black ink, "BOO!"

Joe did a high pitch scream as he dropped the note to the floor. He’d never been so scared in his life!

Then, on the intercom, a voice that sounded eerily familiar said, "Joe Butler, please come to the office..."

Joe walked into the office, which wasn’t too far away from where he was. He opened the door. There was some really fat office lady snoozing on the counter.

"Um, excuse me..." Joe started.

Joe’s voice scared the fat office lady awake, and she rose with a sudden scream. "Oh, sorry," she said after calming down. "I just had to get some sleep..."

Joe said, "Someone here in the office called me down here on the intercom."

"Gee, I wouldn’t know anything about that," the office lady said. "I’ll go check elsewhere in the office, see if anybody knows why they called you over here." The office lady went into another room and disappeared from Joe’s sight.

Joe just sat there really bored when the phone rang. "You’re phone’s ringing!" he hollered. The phone kept ringing. It wouldn’t stop. It was driving Joe crazy! He just had to answer it.

"Uh... this is the office," he said.

The voice on the phone said, "You don’t sound like the usual office lady."

Joe replied, "Well, that’s because I’m not. Look I’m very sorry I picked up the phone when I shouldn’t have! Please don’t punish me!!"

"What a wuss," Joe heard the voice mutter to himself.

"Did you just call me a wuss?" Joe asked.

"SO WHAT IF I CALLED YOU A WUSS?!" the voice yelled. "You ARE a wuss. I’d rather talk to that really fat office lady than you, you stupid little excuse for a victim."

Joe started crying, "Stop calling me a wuss, and I’m not stupid!" Joe closed his eyes and said to himself, "I’m a good boy, I’m a good boy..."

"You are the most pathetic little fucker I’ve ever know, Joe," the voice said.

Joe’s eyes were still closed and he was still talking to himself. Then he heard a thud on the counter. He looked over to the counter and laying there, all gutted and slashes on her throat, was the fat office lady.

Joe screamed. His scream was so high pitched that almost nobody could hear it. Then Joe looked behind him and there was someone wearing a Scream costume and carrying a bloody knife behind him. Joe kneeled down, covered his head, and yelled, "Oh, please don’t kill me, oh, please, oh, please, oh, PLEASE!!" Joe’s glasses fell to the floor. Then he reached into his pocket and got out a handful of cash. "HERE!!" he said, "Take it and just leave me alone!!"

The killer took the money and stabbed him.

BJ was in the library. She just happened to be the only person in the library besides a student aide who was chewing gum, wearing headphones, and reading magazines.

She checked her e-mail on the computer, and she had a couple of new messages. One of them was anonymous. She opened it. It said, "You can’t hide from me."

"Sure, whatever," BJ said as she replied it. She wrote "Fuck you asshole" and sent it to whoever it was who sent her it.

BJ needed to do some research, so she moved to the research books section of the library. She looked around for anything that looked like anything related to her topic. Actually, she forgot her topic. She was about to leave the library when she swore she saw someone with a hook walk behind a shelf of books. She walked behind the book shelf, but he wasn’t there.

BJ stood there for a second. "Huh," she said quietly to herself, must be my imagination."

Behind BJ the killer dressed in the I Know What You Did Last Summer costume was sneaking up on her.

BJ walked away. She got out of the library. She swore she heard footsteps behind her, but when she looked behind her no one was there. She turned back again, and the killer in the fisherman costume and the hook was in front of her! She turned around, started screaming, and headed toward the office. She just barely got in and shut the door.

The lights were out. She turned them on. She gasped when she saw Joe’s decomposing body hanging from the ceiling. She took a chair and blocked the office door entrance. She grabbed the phone. It was dead. She jumped over the counter, but the Scream killer popped out of nowhere and intercepted her. BJ yelled, "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!" as she punched him in the face. The killer dropped to the floor, holding his face. BJ jumped across the counter again and opened the door to get out. She wanted to run toward the library or the other classes, but the other killer in the I Know What You Did Last Summer fisherman costume and the hook blocked her way.

BJ screamed "Help me!!!!" and turned the other way toward the school entrance and the auditorium and gyms. BJ ran into the auditorium and sprinted down the aisles. She tripped on something. Getting up, she looked behind her. Neither killer was anywhere to be found.

The lights went out. She couldn’t see anything. She felt her way through the place, but she knew she wasn’t getting anywhere. All she could feel was the floor and a bunch of chairs. She heard the door opening. She could see the light pouring through. She had to get out of here! She dashed for the door, but it closed right when she got there.

"NO!!" she screamed.

She clawed at the door, pounded on it, did everything she could think of. She was trapped.

Constance Spano, the famous news reporter, was in Mrs. Black’s office.

Mrs. Black said, "Now, tell me one more time. Why did you come to me for help instead of seeing another therapist?"

"Well," Constance replied. "If I went to a different psychiatrist or something, the paparazzi will catch me and the British tabloids will have a field day. If they saw me walk in here, they’d just think I was doing a report on the school or something."

"OK," Mrs. Black said, "Now why do you want to see me?"

Constance answered, "I’ll start from the very beginning. I was instrumental in the downfall of the killing spree of Scott and Trenton’s evil twin brother, not to mention the killing spree of Danielle Starr and Josh Martin. But," Constance continued, "After the THIRD killing spree, the one where Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt went crazy, I was arrested for seducing a minor, Ricky Franklin, but I’m sure you already know that. I was sentenced to two years or prison but I got out early because of good behavior. I had to be listed as a sex offender. This sucks. I’m supposed to report the news, not become the news!!"

Hmm, Mrs. Black thought, sex with a teenager, I wonder what that’s like... "Oh, um, I’m sorry, I was being lost in thought. Where were we?"

BJ was hysterical, screaming her lungs out and trying to find some way to get out of the pitch dark auditorium she was in. She manage to find her way on top of the stage, but that didn’t really help anything. She just went back to the door, occasionally bumping into a wall or something along the way.

Alice just happened to be walking by the auditorium when she heard some banging on its doors. She walked up to the doors and said, "Are you OK in there?"

"OH MY GOD, YOU GOTTA GET ME OUTTA HERE, DAMMIT!" the person behind the doors yelled.

"BJ, is that you?" Alice said. "What happened to you? Why is the door sealed?"

BJ answered, "There are two psycho killers out there, and maybe even in here, too. They trapped me in here!"

Alice then said, "Well, isn’t there like an exit to outside in there?"

"Oh, yeah!" BJ said. "I’ll go see if it’s locked or something."

Alice kept listening. After a few minutes, she said, "BJ, are you there? BJ?"

Maybe she found the way out, she thought. I’ll go outside and meet up with her. What did she say about a psycho maniac killer?

BJ managed to find her way to the emergency exit door. She opened it, and was almost blinded by the sunlight pouring in.

From behind, she heard someone say, in the Scream voice, "Where do you think you’re going, BJ?" The killer was there the whole time!!

BJ ran out the door. She ran faster than she did in her whole entire life. The killer was still behind her. She kept moving.

In class, a kid glanced through a window and saw BJ being chased by the Scream killer. He raised his hand and said, "Teacher, there’s a girl being chased by the Grim Reaper outside."

The teacher sighed, rolled her eyes, and said, "Remember the time you thought the principal was changing into George Washington outside?"

"But, but," the kid muttered, "Oh, never mind."

BJ reached the street. The cold air stung her cheeks. A car was coming. She screamed, "STOP!! STOP!!"

The car stopped and she immediately got in and closed the door. The window was still open. She tried rolling it up with the power window opener/ closer thingie. She could see the killer coming closer and closer. She closed her eyes as the window went up, and when she opened them, she saw that the killer was about to slash her with his knife, but the window caught it as it closed. The killer struggled to get the knife out of the window. BJ also noticed part of his costume was also caught in the window.

"What are you waiting for?" BJ said. "Drive..."

When she turned around to look at the driver, she screamed as she saw it was the other killer, the one in the I Know What You Did Last Summer suit. Before she could do anything, he thrust his hook right below her jaw. Blood spewed from BJ’s mouth. The killer dragged her into the back seat with the hook, took the hook out, and slashed her repeatedly. BJ was dead (DUH!)

The Scream killer’s knife and part of his costume were still caught in the window. The fisherman killer put the car on cruise control and jumped out of the car as it sped away with the other killer.

Alice got to the door that lead outside, but the I Know What You Did Last Summer killer was just about to get in. Alice turned around and ran the other direction. She ran into the gym, screaming, "HELP!! HELP ME!!!"

She ran into the little hallway thingie that was connected to the gym and ran up the stairs. She was in the weight room. No one was there. Actually it turned out the killer had disappeared. Alice walked in front of some folded up bleachers and looked down from the balcony, where she could see the gym. No one could be found over there, either. She walked back to the weight room. She bumped into someone. She screamed.

It turned out to only be Tyler. "What’s the matter with you, Alice?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"

"WELL YOU SEE I WAS JUST WALKING WHEN I HEARD BJ IN THE AUDITORIUM AND SHE GOT OUT THROUGH THE EMERGENCY EXIT AND I WAS BEING CHASED BY A KILLER BUT I CAME IN HERE AND THE KILLER’S GONE BUT I’M OK NOW!!!" Alice answered.

Tyler replied, "Well, I actually got an A on a project, but you don’t hear me bragging about it..."

Alicia glanced ahead at the mirror, where she saw the killer (the one with the hook and the fisherman costume) sneaking up behind her. Tyler was still asking, "What? What is it?"

Alice moved away just as the killer was about to get her. Instead, his hook got Tyler’s stomach. He twisted the hook slowly. In a few minutes Tyler was dead. Alice screamed, "NO!! TYLER!!!"

Alice ran back to the balcony and climbed the folded-up bleachers just as the killer almost slashed her foot with his blood-stained hook. She reached the top of the stack of bleachers, the killer still trying to reach her. From the bleachers, looking down at the gym, she saw some people coming in. She tried to yell for them, but she slipped and fell from the bleachers. Her back hit the railing, and she fell from the balcony, landing face-first on the gym floor.

The killer fled the scene, dragging Tyler’s mangled body along with his hook.

Ricky and Gary saw her fall. They ran to her side. She was dead instantly. "Holy shit!" Ricky yelled. "Did she jump from there and committed suicide?"

Gary looked up at the balcony. "That’s what it looks like."

Ricky said, "Let’s go check up there. Maybe someone pushed her off or something."

Ricky and Gary went up to the weight room through some stairs. At the opposite end of the gym, the killer dragged the corpse of Tyler out the door and out the school.

Meagan was in Ms. Freeman’s world geography class. Ms. Freeman was doing something with the class, but Meagan was listening to the radio on headphones.

The DJ radio guy said, "Oh, here’s some bad news. The two winners of our contest drowned to death in the cruise ship that they won a trip on. Now let’s move on. We have a caller. Who is this?"

The caller, who had a mysterious Scream type of voice, said. "I’d just like to say hi to someone, if that’s OK."

The DJ responded, "Who is this lucky person?"

The caller answered, "It’s my good friend Meagan. Hi, Meagan. I have a special message for you. I’m going to kill you."

"That’s great!" the DJ said. "Thanks for calling. So, Meagan, this next song is dedicated to you, and remember, someone’s going to kill you."

Meagan screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ms. Freeman and everybody else in the class stared at her. Then Ms. Freeman said to the class, "Well, despite Meagan’s objection, the people of South Africa can now vote in free democratic elections....."

When class got out, Meagan and Tracy met up with Ricky and Gary. Meagan said to all of them, "You guys, you won’t believe what happened! Some guy knows what we did last summer!!"

"He does?" Gary asked. "Uh... what exactly did we do last summer?"

Meagan shook her head in frustration. "Don’t any of you remember?" she said. "OK, this one night, we all were in this big orgy, right? And then we were sort of drunk, so we drove around everywhere and then all of a sudden- BOOM! We hit Danielle. We stop the car and dump Danielle’s body into the creek. We never told anybody!"

Tracy, Gary, and Ricky all went, "Oh, now I remember," simultaneously.

Meagan continued, "And there’s this other guy who’s threatening to kill me!"

"Well, that’s nothing," Ricky said. "Gary and I just saw Alice commit suicide!"

"What?" Meagan and Tracy said. "Where? When?"

Gary answered, "Just a couple of minutes ago, in the gym. We tried to tell the office, but the door is locked and the lights are out.

"Are you SURE she committed suicide?" Meagan said. "What if it’s that guy who knows what we did last summer or the psycho murderer guy?"

Everyone stopped.

"You know what I’m wondering?" Tracy said. "You remember Alicia from a couple of years ago who was killed? She had the same last name as Alice! Isn’t that weird?"

"Yeah, that is pretty weird..." Gary and Ricky said.

Meagan yelled, "Hello?! Anybody paying any attention?! Alice’s just been killed, and we’re next!! We have to tell somebody!!"

Gary said, "Meagan’s right. We have to tell somebody about Alice committing suicide."

"NO, NO, NO!!" Meagan screamed. "I’M SAYING THAT WE’RE ALL BEING STALKED- BY TWO INSANE FREAKS!!"

Ricky said, "You don’t have to yell at us, Meagan. You act like we haven’t been paying any attention to you."

"YOU AREN’T!" Meagan screamed.

Ricky replied, "You’ve been saying that there are two psychotic freaks out there that killed Alice and are now after us."

Meagan said, "Oh. I have to go."

Meagan left.

From out of nowhere came Dan. "Guess what, people!" he said.

"What is it?" Tracy asked.

"Well, I found this really cool book about magic and stuff, and there was this chapter about bringing back the dead!" Dan answered.

"Really," Gary said. "That’s cool."

Dan looked really psyched. "And the REALLY cool part is that it worked!!"

Ricky’s eyes grew wide. "What do you mean it worked?"

Dan answered, "I mean it worked. I brought somebody back to life. The first person to come to mind was Scott, so I resurrected him."

From behind Dan popped out Scott. "Hey everybody!" he said.

Tracy screamed. Gary demanded, "Why did you bring SCOTT back to life? Don’t you remember he tried to kill everybody?"

"No," Scott said. "I’m not the REAL Scott. I’m one of the clones. Remember? I never killed anybody. In fact, I saved Sabrina’s life!"

"Oh, yeah," Gary said, remembering.

Tracy said, "Hey, you know what? You should bring Neve Campbell come back to life."

Ricky turned to Tracy as he responded, "Are you crazy? Don’t you remember she and Jennifer Love Hewitt tried to kill us?"

"What?" Tracy said. "I thought Mrs. Black did it!"

"That would’ve made a lot more since..." Gary said as he rolled his eyes.

Dan said, "Well, at least I didn’t bring that bitch Sabrina back to life."

Later, after Ricky, Gary, Tracy, Scott and Dan reported to part of the faculty about Alice’s death and somebody sending threatening stuff to Meagan, the faculty sent them to a bus to go home. It wasn’t the usual type of bus. It was blue and there was a gate type of thing that separated the passengers and the driver.

"What the hell? This is like a prison bus!" Ricky said.

The bus driver turned, locked the gate type of thing, and said, "It’s for your own protection. You could be stalked by two maniacs, you know."

The driver started the bus and drove on the way to each person’s home. It started snowing. The roads were icy. The driver didn’t have enough coffee in the morning, so she had a real hard time staying awake. Then, out of nowhere, she saw a car parked in the middle of the road.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" she yelled as she tried swerving out of the way. The bus slid and rolled down a hill. In the passenger section, it was like hell if it were a bus. People were flying everywhere, getting hit by seats, etc.

Finally the bus stopped. The driver was knocked out.

Ricky got up first and looked out the window. "Holy shit," he said.

"W-What is it?" Tracy asked.

Ricky answered, "We’re like on top of a frozen lake. The ice is starting to crack. If the ice breaks before we get out we’ll all fucking freeze to death."

Dan opened the back emergency exit door and ran out, followed by Ricky and Scott. Gary was about to leave, but he saw Tracy wasn’t following.

Gary asked, "Tracy, what are you doing?"

Tracy glared back at him. "We can’t just leave that poor bus driver here!" She turned back to the driver, who was still knocked out. Tracy couldn’t get through the gate thingie. "Wake up!! Wake up!!" she yelled. "Wake up, dammit, or you’re going to freakin’ freeze to death!"

Gary looked out the door. He couldn’t see Ricky, Dan, and Scott anywhere. He turned again to Tracy. "It’s no use, Tracy, come on!"

Tracy yelled at the driver some more, to no avail. Gary looked outside the door again. The ice was unusually strong, but it would still break in a matter of seconds.

Then he heard Tracy gasp. He turned around to see the killer (not the fisherman, the Scream killer), who had walked in from the normal entrance. He stabbed the driver, took the keys, and unlocked the gate.

Gary and Tracy didn’t stick around to see what was going to happen next. They both ran out the emergency exit door. A couple of seconds later they heard the ice break and the sound of the bus sinking. It wasn’t until they cleared the ice that they looked back. They just saw the bus half-sunk, and the rest falling slowly into the freezing water.

Tracy asked, "D-Did the killer get out?"

Gary answered, "I don’t know... where are Ricky, Dan, and Scott?"

Tracy looked around, realizing they were gone. "I-I don’t know! Why would they leave us? Where are we, anyway? This place doesn’t look familiar to me!"

"Well, we’re going to have to find some place for shelter," Gary said. "We can’t just stay here forever, especially with two killers on the loose."

Nik walked into the courtroom. But it wasn’t a typical courtroom. This was the court of Judge Judy. If you don’t know who Judge Judy is, she’s this one really bitchy judge who broadcasts her lawsuits on syndicated national television. Anyway, Nik walked in and stood behind her podium labeled "Plaintiff". Two really nerdy looking guys were standing behind the podium labeled, "Defendant".

Then Judge Judy walked into the room and sat down on the judge’s chair.

Nik felt awkward with all these cameras everywhere.

Judge Judy began, "Before we begin, Ms. Von Eye, I’d like to ask you something. I’ve been checking files and I found that a Nichole Von Eye and a Nikki Von Eye were both murdered in this same area a couple years ago. I was just curious, are they any relation to you?"

"Uhh... no..." Nik answered.

Judge Judy stammered, "Speak up, madam!"

"No, they’re not," Nik said again with more volume.

"Thank you for clearing that up." Judge Judy continued, "Now let’s move onto business. Ms. Von Eye, why exactly are you suing these two men?"

Nik answered, "Your honor, these people have been making fake pictures of me nude and posting them on the internet. I’m suing because it’s an invasion of my privacy or something."

One of the defendants said, "Your honor, if I could speak, those pictures were not fake."

Nik yelled, "What do you mean they’re not fake?! Do you think I have tits like that, you pervert?!"

Judge Judy interrupted, "Hey, hey, hey!!! Do not interrupt the court, Ms. Von Eye."

Nik replied, "Sorry, your honor, but I was just pointing out that none of those pictures could’ve been real. I mean, the skin color isn’t even right!"

"Ms. Von Eye," Judge Judy said. "Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining."

Nik was confused. "What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Don’t mock me, you little bitch!" Judge Judy yelled hysterically. "Do you want me to throw you in contempt?! Why are you even suing these guys? They’re providing a service to the community!"

Nik was so shocked. "A service?!" she responded. "You call porn a service?!?!?!?!?"

Judge Judy was furious. "Look, you whore, I’m not going to tolerate this. You’re being thrown in contempt and I’m ruling in favor of the defendant!! Bailiff!"

The bailiff took Nik away to jail while she was kicking and screaming.



Meagan was with Karlen in the costume dance-thingie. She had begun to regret coming. There were like at least five different people dressed in Scream and fisherman suits.

Karlen said, "Meagan, we should leave."

Meagan replied, "No! These stupid stalkers are trying to stop me from having fun, but I’ll show them. I can go on doing normal things even with them around. This is like a test."

Karlen responded, "I don’t think it’s worth getting murdered over."

All of a sudden a bunch of really loud music started playing, and all these costumed kids were dancing everywhere.

Meagan said, "I gotta go to the bathroom."

Karlen said, "Let me come."

Meagan snapped, "No! I’m not some little baby who needs protection! Just stay here!"

Meagan walked out of the gym, across the hall, into the ladies’ room, and in one of the stalls. For some reason she was really tired. She heard someone else walk in. From under the stall door, she saw some blood stained boots. Meagan gasped.

She lifted her feet just in case it was the killer or the fisherman, so he couldn’t see if she was in there. She was so scared that she passed out.

Karlen was in the middle of, it seemed like, thousands of costumed kids just dancing everywhere. They were crowding her and she couldn’t find a way out. The music was so loud and the lights were turned down a little. Most of the people she saw in the stalkers’ costumes were just dancing around, not paying any attention to her.

Karlen stopped. She spotted a kid in a Scream killer costume staring at her. Then some kid dancing like a maniac got in the way, and when he got out of her sight, the killer was nowhere to be found.

Karlen turned and she saw the fisherman behind all the dancing kids. He was just standing there, and he took out his hook, which was bloodstained. Another stupid dancing costumed kid went by her sight, and the fisherman disappeared.

Karlen turned and THE KILLER WAS RIGHT THERE! His knife sliced her neck. The killer got lost into the crowd.

Blood stained her shirt. She couldn’t breathe. No one seemed to notice, they just kept on doing their stupid break dancing all over the place.

She turned again and THE FISHERMAN WAS RIGHT THERE!! His hook also sliced another part of her neck, and he too got lost and disappeared into the crowd.

Karlen couldn’t scream. She wanted to kill everyone of these dancing bastards. Finally someone noticed her, but he just said, "Hey, look at Karlen’s costume! She’s trying to look like a dead body!"

You stupid bitch, Karlen thought. She collapsed to the floor, and finally people realized she was dead.

After a moment of silence, the whole cried panicked and everybody fled out the door, some people running over Karlen’s corpse.

Mrs. Black woke up. She had been sleeping for hours. She was in her office, and Constance was still there, talking about her experiences as a child. What time is it? she thought.

Mrs. Black interrupted her. "Um, thanks for sharing your problems with me, and I wish I could stay for a while longer, but we really got to go! I think the dance is going on right now."

"OK," Constance said as she opened the door. She froze and gasped as she saw that on the other end of the door was Tyler’s bloody body hanging on it.

"Oh," Constance said as she turned to Mrs. Black. "Pleeeeeaaaase tell me this is just a hallucination brought on by post traumatic stress."

Mrs. Black answered, "Nope, that’s real."

They both ran out of the office screaming their lungs out.

Meagan came to. She was still in the bathroom. Her head hurt.

She couldn’t hear the music or any of the kids anymore. She opened the stall and walked across the hall into the gym. Nobody was there.

"What time is it?" she asked herself.

She was about to turn and walk away when ALL OF A SUDDEN the door opened and she screamed. She sighed when she saw it was just Tracy and Gary.

Meagan asked, "What are you doing here? What’s going on?"

Tracy answered, "I don’t know! All we know is that two serial killers are on the loose. Oh, yeah, that AND the fact that Nik’s in jail."

Meagan was in disbelief, "Really? She’s in jail? What for?"

Before Tracy or Gary could answer, they heard a phone ringing. They looked around and they saw that near the bleacher was a cellular phone.

Gary answered the phone. "Hello?"

The killer answered back, "Hi there, Gary. Couldn’t help but noticed that you and Tracy escaped my attack on you in the bus. Also heard you talking about Nik being in jail. Jail is a very bad place to be stalked. You can’t escape very easily you know... OK, I’ll get to the point. I’m going after Nik, and probably so is the fisherman. So, if you want to save her, then you’ll have to make it there before I do. Bye..."

Just then the battery went out.

"Who was it?" Meagan asked. "Was it the killer?"

Gary answered, "Yeah, it was. He said he’s going to try to kill Nik while she’s in jail."

Tracy said, "Well, we have to stop him! Come on, we’ll steal somebody’s car."

They all ran out of the school.

Nik was so bored in jail. There wasn’t any cellmates. There was only one stupid guard there, and he was a stupid piece of crap. He didn’t even let her use a phone call!

She looked out the window. It had been night time for quite a while now.

Nik turned back to the guard, who was standing outside the cell bars.

"When are you going to fucking get me out of here?" she asked.

The guard answered, "As soon as someone comes in and bails you out."

Nik was furious, "But that could take forever if you don’t let me use the phone!!"

"Shut up, kid."

Nik hesitated, and then changed the subject. "Where are all the other officers?"

"Boy, kid, you sure are curious," the guard replied. "They’re on their way down to the school. Apparently someone got murdered there during a school dance."

Nik was in shock. "WHAT?! Oh, my God, it’s happening again!!"

"Look," the guard said. "You better just get used to your cell, because you’re going to be in there for a long time..."

SUDDENLY someone holding a chair came in the room and hit the guard and knocked him out with the chair.

But it was just Tracy. Gary walked in the room.

Nik was relieved. "Tracy! Gary! Am I glad to see you guys. Get me out of here!"

Tracy took the key from the knocked-out guard. Gary told Nik, "We have to hurry. A bunch of killers are after us again."

"I know," Nik responded.

Tracy got the cell door open just as the fisherman came in through the door.

Tracy screamed as she and Gary ran inside the cell. Tracy locked it just in time.

"Ha! See? Now you can’t get us," Tracy mocked the fisherman.

The fisherman reached through the bars, almost getting Tracy. She screamed and dropped the keys. She tried picking them up, but the fisherman was faster than she was, and he reached through the bars again and got the key before she could.

"NOOOOOOO!!" Tracy screamed. She, Nik, and Gary all backed up against the cell wall. The fisherman was about to open the cell when he heard Meagan walk into the building.

Nik yelled, "MEAGAN, DON’T COME IN HERE!! GET AWAY NOW!!"

Meagan walked in the door while saying, "Why? What’s going on in here- SHIT!!"

The fisherman grabbed Meagan and threw her against the cell door.

Meagan turned to Nik, "Why didn’t you tell me not to come in here?" she asked. Meagan turned back to the fisherman. "So you’re the bastard who’s killing everybody. Who are you?"

The fisherman was about to take off his costume. Meagan gasped in anticipation. Who could it possibly be? Last time it was Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Who could it be?

Everybody gasped when the fisherman revealed...

...Dan.

Meagan’s eyes grew wide. "THAT’S IT?! THE KILLER’S JUST YOU?!"

Dan ordered, "Shut up, you bitch. So maybe I’m not famous or anything. Who cares? Hey, at least you all were scared."

The door opened, and a Scream killer came in and so did another fisherman. They removed their costumes to reveal Scott and Rick.

"You see," Dan started. "I got all this from that magic book I had. It tells you all kinds of stuff. First I brought Scott back to life, and I hypnotized both of them to help me kill all of you."

Gary leaned closer to the cell door. "But why did you do this?"

"Why?" Dan replied. "I did it because I really hate all of you. You’re all a bunch of bitches!!"

Meagan shook her head. "This is all disappointing. It’s usually something big and surprising, but the killers are just you."

Dan ignored her. "Even if you guys do somehow manage to escape and kill me, I’ve already cast a spell on myself, too, that’ll bring me back to life about a year from now. But, OK, I’ll tell you some other stuff of my plan. After I kill you, I’ll just say that it was Ricky and Scott who were killing everybody, and it’s kind of true! So I’ve come up with the perfect plan!"

Meagan continued her whining. "Sabrina gets to be killed by a movie star, and I have to be murdered by YOU?"

Dan was in a furious rage. "YOU BITCH!" he yelled. "THAT’S IT! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!!!"

Dan swung his hook at Meagan’s neck, but SUDDENLY a gunshot echoed throughout the room and Dan was hit.

With his last breath he said, "...you...bitch..."

He collapsed. And died.

Meagan and everybody else turned to see Constance and Mrs. Black. Constance was holding her pistol and Mrs. Black carried the cop’s gun.

Meagan sighed a breath of relief. "Thank God you saved us."

Constance walked over to the mesmerized Scott and Ricky and snapped her fingers twice. They woke up from their hypnotic trance.

Mrs. Black, Constance, Meagan, and Ricky took the key and unlocked the cell door. Scott was waiting from the other end of the room. Constance and Mrs. Black had left their guns on a table.

ALL OF A SUDDEN another Scream killer popped out of nowhere behind Scott, and almost got him, only he darted out of the room. In panic, the rest of the gang locked themselves in the cell so the killer wouldn’t get them.

"What the FUCK?!" Ricky said. "Another killer?"

The killer glanced at them and then ran after Scott.

Scott ran through the big maze of hallways, which was unusual since it looked so small from the outside. The place’s lights were off and he ran toward the door. He got to it and opened it, but it only opened a tiny bit- it turns out that a huge pile of snow was blocking the way. He gave up on the door and ran around to find another one. He ducked behind a desk just as the killer walked in, looking for him.

Scott stayed there for what seemed like hours. He didn’t dare get up and look around. Finally, he peaked past the desk.

The killer was gone.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief. He got up and started walking toward the door that leads into a hallway. He just about made it through the door, BUT THEN the killer appeared out of nowhere and almost got him. Looking back, Scott saw that the killer’s knife got stuck in the door while trying to stab him. This gave Scott enough time to shut the door and lock it this time. The knife was still stuck in the door, the killer trying desperately to get it out.

Scott ran toward the desk again and opened a drawer. Nothing was in there besides a bunch of dumb files. He opened another drawer. Nothing. Scott opened the last drawer. To his relief, there was a gun in it. He picked it up.

He could still see the end of the killer’s knife stuck on the door. It was moving a little bit, so Scott knew the killer was still pulling on it. Scott advanced to the door, ready to open it and blow the killer’s head off.

The knife got out of the door.

Scott paused. Was the killer still there?

After hesitating, he opened the door. No sign of the killer. Scott started walking some more, pointing the gun forward.

"Looking for me?" the Scream voice said behind him.

Scott turned around upon hearing this and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.

The killer was right behind him.

"Who are you?" Scott asked.

The killer slowly dropped the voice box and took off his mask.

The fourth killer was....

....Judge Judy!!

"You never thought it was me, did you? Especially since you were one of the killers and you didn’t know there was another one. Actually, you were hypnotized, so I’m not even sure if you remember killing anybody, but who gives a crap? I’m going to kill you all because your whole generation is scum. Most of the people who I punish in court are of your age and stuff. I’m here to bring justice! Even more justice than I have in court!"

Scott checked the gun. No bullets. out of pure frustration, he threw the gun straight into Judge Judy’s forehead, knocking her out.

Just then Nik, Meagan, Ricky, Gary, Constance, and Mrs. Black walked in the room. Nik was startled and took the gun and shot Judge Judy’s unconscious body straight in the head.

Scott said, "Nik, how did you know she was the killer?"

Nik answered, "Oh, she was the killer? I didn’t know that! I just shot her because she sent me to jail."

"Well," Constance started. "I guess that’s everything. All the major killers are dead, the hypnotized ones are free, and..."

There were sirens coming closer to the station.

"...the police are here!" Constance finished.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, Danielle, that walking dead body, busted through a wall, grabbed Scott and dragged him away, leaving no trace.

"Shouldn’t we go after them?" Tracy asked.

Meagan answered, "Naaah, she’s just going to try to kill us."

They all walked toward the cops and told them what happened.
