Chapter 3: Who's There

CHAPTER 3: WHO'S THERE

A couple days later

It was night. Towards the outskirts of town. Casey was making popcorn and getting ready for a movie night. She was wearing tight clothes as she was getting ready for some fun tonight. She wanted to look as attractive as she could for her new boyfriend. As she was making popcorn and waiting for her boyfriend Steve. She started to receive phone calls from a mysterious person.

She would hang up and the person would just call back. They started to talk about scary movies and other things. She was slightly weirded out but it's just someone over the phone how dangerous could it be. Part way through she decided to just mess around and have fun with whoever was on the other side.

The person in the phone eventually said, "I want to know who I'm looking at."

Casey started to shake a bit as she paused looking around quickly "What did you say?"

The person behind the phone said, "I want to know who I'm talking to."

Casey shook her head "That's not what you said!"

She hung up, but the phone started to ring again, and she answered. The voice immediately said, "Hang up on me again you bitch, and I will rip open your insides!" She let out a muffled scream as her hand covered her mouth.

The voice started to laugh on the other side of the call, and Casey said "You better back off my boyfriend is on his way, and he is on the football team. He will kick your ass!"

The voice stopped laughing "Is your boyfriend Steve?"

Casey was shocked as she started to tremble again "How did you know that?"

The voice let out a low chuckle that creepily turned saying "Turn on your back porch light."

She did as he said, only for her to scream as she turned on the back porch light to see Steve tied up with duct tape near her pool. She immediately tried to head outside. Quickly turning the doorknob, as soon as she took a step out, she was stopped by the voice again, "I wouldn't do that."

She quickly closed it. The voice then said "Let's play a game. If you win you guys live."

She shook her head "No, no, no please no."

The voice not caring said "Come on it will be an easy game you want to live, don't you? Turn off the light."

Steve looked at her with wide eyes as he rapidly shook his head rapidly as she slowly inched closer to the light switch. She slowly turned off the light as she backed herself into a corner. The voice continued "Good. Don't worry it will be some easy trivia."

Casey was freaking out shaking her head "No, please stop no."

The voice chuckled "Don't worry I will give you a practice question. Who was the killer in Halloween?"

Casey kept shaking and begging for the voice over the phone to stop but the voice said "Come on you know it. You said it's your favorite."

She screamed "Michael Myers!! Michael Myers!"

The voice creepily chuckled "Good, Good. Now for the real question. Who is the killer in Friday the 13th?"

Casey eyes widened as she remembered Jack talking about the movie a couple days prior. There was a small thought that let her think Jack was the voice but right now she needed to answer the question to try and save her life.

Casey yelled "Mrs. Vorhees!!"

The voice over the phone stopped chuckling, he had expected her to freak out and get it wrong. He started to chuckle again however "That is correct sadly we were looking for the main villain throughout the series. You lose. Don't worry you'll get another chance sadly Steve won't."

Casey screamed "No fair! No fair! I answered it correctly."

The voice laughed louder "Sorry those are the rules."

Casey got up fast and turned on the back porch light to see Steve with his guts hanging outside his body. His entrails were hanging loosely around his ankles as the life in his eyes slowly faded.

She screamed as she stumbled back to the corner terrified. The voice then said "Final question. What door am I at? The front or the back?"

She shook her head in hysteria "I don't want to play anymore."

The voice slowly chuckled and venomously said "Your choice."

A chair was thrown through the glass back door, completely breaking it. Casey screamed and ran towards the kitchen. She quickly gets behind the counter and grabs the largest knife she can with the phone still gripped in her hand. Smoke slowly filled the house as she had left her popcorn burning on the stove.

She watched as a black figure came running through the broken door in the back. She started to slowly back up as the black figure was looking around the house unaware of where she was. She was able to reach another side door that leads to her backyard.

She started to freak out as she looked around but is able to see some headlights heading towards her house. She knew it was her parents, so she started to crawl her way around the house.

She peeked back up to look inside her house to see Ghost Face staring right at her. She screamed as his fist breaks through the window and grabs her as he tries to cut her. She was able to get away, seemingly dropping the knife but holding onto the phone.

She starts to run but pauses when she sees her dead boyfriend with his guts spilled out on the floor. She starts to run again but since she slowed down Ghost Face was able to jump on her and tackle her to the ground. She kicks him back as she gets back up and it becomes a chase.

Casey tries to run as fast as she could, but Ghost Face catches up to her and is able to stab her in the chest seemingly above her heart as she tries to crawl away.

However, Ghost Face gets on top of her and slams his knife into her throat. However, it is only able to hit her vocal cords as she kicks him and tries to crawl away as her mother and father make it to the front door but don't see her to the side.

Ghost Face gets on top of her again as she tries to call out for her mother, but her vocal cords are torn apart and destroyed. She struggles as she puts her hands up trying to take off the mask of Ghost Face her eyes widen as she sees Stu with a devious smile on his face. She then watched as the knife gets driven into her heart finally killing her.

Her Father and Mother had started to freak out because of all the damage inside the home. The mother steps out and screams across the street from their front yard. They see their daughter Casey hung by neck from a tree with her guts falling out of her onto the floor.

The next day

Jack pulled up with his motorcycle to see a ton of news station vans and cameras at his school. Jack started to get surrounded as he parked his motorcycle.

A reporter he was very familiar with, Gale Weathers, stormed her way in front of him.

Gale put the microphone in front of her face "Excuse me are you a student here?"

Jack nodded "Yeah?"

Gale nodded "What do you think about the recent attack?"

Jack acted confused "What attack?"

Gale got serious "The murder of Casey Becker and her boyfriend."

Jack got annoyed he never liked her in the first movie at least. In his eyes she was just a greedy bitch with no tact. Who would just talk to high school students with friends that just died with no regard. "Well bitch. The boyfriend's name was Steve Orth and how dare you ask a bunch of grieving students about their friends that were just murdered last night. Fucking disgusting."

Jack then left all the reporters in shock as he ran into Tatum and Sidney. "Pretty wild huh?"

They both nodded Tatum then said "This is worse thing to happen since….. well, it's just really bad."

Tatum quickly covered it up as she almost mentioned how last year Sidney's mother was r**ed and murdered.

Sidney shook her head "I can't believe what happened. I sit next to her in English."

Jack sighed "Not anymore."

Everyone started to head to their classes, but Jack pulled Tatum off to the side. "Hey, make sure you call me before anyone else if that killer comes after you."

Tatum nodded seriously "I should call the police after you?"

Jack nodded "Yeah unless you think they could either come faster than me or if you trust your brother in a fight more than me."

Tatum leaned in and started to hug Jack "I'll make sure to call you first, so you better be able to save me if the killer comes after me."

Jack hugged her back "Yeah of course I got you."

Tatum leaned up and kissed him on the cheek "Let's get to class."

He was shocked that Tatum outright kissed him on the cheek, so he lagged behind for a second not too sure how to feel about it. He wanted her to wait a bit but as he thought about it more 'Fuck Stu.'
