Chapter fourteen,

you were the killer all along?

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

    HER HEAD was softly placed on her boyfriends lap who was playing around with her hair, she had simply sniffled her nose, as she felt guilty because Gale was attacked.

   If only she knew — She would've given the older woman a heads up, or she should've told her what her fathers been forcing to do, she felt clumsy. Perhaps, Gale could've helped her long before.

   Jumping when she heard the sound of the revolving doors moving, and a panicked man's voice laced with concern, "Hey. Hey. I got here as fast as I could." He assured his girlfriend, all while Sam glanced at him.

   Tara simply eyed her sisters boyfriend in suspicious, "Did you?" She harshly snapped, she was jumpy from this entire masked killer, and couldn't trust anyone.

   Mindy was completely shaken up, "I'm scared, you guys. I really don't want to get hurt, again." She cautiously rambled, and glancing around her friend group." Worrisome was just written all over her face.

   Chad had gently answered his sisters response, "Neither do I." His arm wrapped around Naomi's shoulder, and gently pulling her closer to him, as she placed her legs on his lap, and finding comfort in his arms.

   Mindy worriedly glanced at her brother, "I don't want you getting hurt again, either." She had sternly told her brother before glancing at Naomi, reassuring her as well, "And, we can't lose you either, Chad can't lose you." She gently told Naomi.

   Mindy was full-blown aware that Naomi meant a lot to his brother, and Naomi doesn't deserve to be in the middle of a massacre with a masked killer out on the loose, and she can't witness her brother endure another heartbreak from losing a girlfriend.

   Naomi had gently whispered back, "You won't lose me, and I won't lose either one of you." She had offered a sad smile, a part of her was so scared of losing either one of them.

   Ethan bit his inside cheek, he was already aware of the endgame. Despite, blaming Sam for all the crimes in Woodsboro, and avenging Richie Kirsch, the other portion of the blaming would also fall towards Naomi. Especially, with her behavior recently, a suicide note admitting on murdering their mother ( even though, it was their dad who murdered her, and hiding her body under the water, as they had placed bricks on her legs and arms, so she can sink and not resurface.) It had made perfect sense, two unstable women who committed all these crimes in New York, and mission complete to avenge Richie Kirsch.

Samantha Carpenter ends up arrested for crimes she had never made, and their unstable sister ends up dead by their father who makes it seem like suicide.

His head snapped towards the group, especially when Chad spoken up, "So, what do we do now?" He questioned them, eyes more so glancing at Samantha.

Sam sighed, "Maybe he gets to win this time. . ." She sadly mumbled out, capturing all of their attention, "He wants to punish me. I'm not letting him punish you for my mistakes, so maybe I'll let him punish me by giving myself up. If that is what I have to do, to keep you all safe, it's worth it." She sniffled out, sadly.

Naomi felt her heart clench, especially watching Samantha Carpenter who assumes that she needs to be punished, especially when she did absolutely nothing wrong, as in her own eyes, she's met with a girl who murdered her monster, and feels a sense of happiness that she could hug the girl forever, and never let go.

   Naomi didn't fucking care that Ethan was here, so she had cautiously spoken up by being a bit vague, "You don't need to be punished for anything, Sam. You did nothing wrong, and no matter what anyone attempts to ramble about are all delusional, you are innocent because I believe you." Perhaps, this made her look a bit questionable, but she had to release all of this to her.

   She just hopes that Samantha Carpenter will someday understand what she means, because a part of her believes that she won't make this scheme out of alive, and thats despite calling in for help. Everything that she was saying for on this point is her twisted way of saying goodbye to her boyfriend and friends.

   Everything good must come to an end.

   Tara had nodded her own head at the reassuring words her friend was giving her sister, "Exactly what Naomi means, Sam." She had declared as her arms were crossed, and continuing her own speech, "You went back to Woodsboro to protect, me. Every single day, you make the decision to protect me. None of us would be alive if it weren't for you." She had gestured all of their friends, "You have to let us protect you this time." She argued back, eyes getting glossy.

   Sam who argued, "No. . ."

   Tara who argued again, "We're a team remember?" She raised her eyebrow at her sister.

   Sam exhaled her breath, nodding her head.

   Mindy stood up from her chair, "Actually, we're a family." She smiled, all while Chad had dramatically stood up from his chair, "Let's go forever five." He had stretched his entire arm out, Mindy placing her hand over her brothers with the Carpenter sisters following in pursuit.

   Naomi remained silent, "I— No, I don't deserve to be on your team, or whatever it's called. . ." She felt her phone buzzing, and had immediately stood up, "I need fresh air, I'll be back." She mumbled out, walking away from the friend group who found her behavior quite odd.

Tara had mumbled out and attempting to defend her friends actions, "Hey, relax. She's never endured this before, so she's probably really scared. . ." She had calmly reassured the remaining friend group, "Let's go and call her dad for help, he'd most likely want to help since this asshole killed Quinn, and I think that their maybe a way that we can ultimately lure this fucking asshole." She retorted, raising her eyebrows at her friends.

Chad felt that their was something else missing with his girlfriend, so he had ignored the entire statement Tara made, "I'm going to go, and follow her." He had ignored everyone's protests, stepping outside of Gale Weathers apartment complex, and had quietly followed his girlfriend.

──────────────────

NAOMI PULLED EVERYTHING out of her pink back, the cloak and mask was thrown onto her table, she had pulled the chair, so she can sit down and also process everything that was going to unleash tonight.

She was also waiting for Mark Kincaid who will arrive to her apartment in ten minutes, so they can quickly begin to plan out on how all of this will work, and she can give him evidence of all her clothing that she wore when her brother would get too touchy-touchy amongst papers that always made her cry.

She had jumped when she heard a familiar voice, that made her entire world drop. He was supposed to find out like this, she already felt her eyes getting glossy, especially when she had stood up, and meeting his eyes.

His voice broke, "I— You were the killer all along?" She had attempted to approach him only for him to step back from her, and that felt like a stab in the heart.

Naomi had began to break apart, especially when his jaw had clenched and holding in his tears, "No, Chad. You have to listen to me. . ." Her lips were trembling from the fear of him finding out, and what she'll reveal to him it was just all too much for her, "Please, sit down and listen to me." Her voice cracked.

His voice raised, "Listen to what, Naomi!? How you went around killing people, though you must have an accomplice who had killed my sisters girlfriend, so who's your fucking accomplice." He had harshly snapped at her.

Naomi flinched at his tone, the yelling was reminding her of Richie, or when her dad yells at her. She was getting so many flashbacks.

Naomi harshly spoke to him, "I never killed anyone, why can't you let me speak, so you can know. Please, just listen to me." She attempted to approach him only for him to keep walking away from her.

Chad turned away from her, "Mindy was right. . ." That had made her heart crush into a million pieces at his confession, "Never trust the love interest, and I really do pick the wrong girlfriends." Tears ran down her eyes at what he said to her.

Though, she didn't see the tears that ran down his eyes at what he told her, the instant regret that flushed his entire body for what he told her.

Naomi wiped her tears, walking in front of him and had purposely bumped shoulders with him, "Get out of my apartment, Chad. I don't ever want to see you, but with how tonight will end for me, you won't ever have to worry about me." She had harshly spat at him, that instantly made him flinch at her sudden tone, especially feeling his heartbreaking at what she had told him, as a part of him was confused on what she had meant.

Guilt rushed all over his entire body, perhaps he should've listened to her before going to yell at her, "Nao—" He had gently began only to be rudely interrupted with the sound of someone knocking.

Naomi felt relief at the sound of someone knocking, opening the door as she was then met with an older man an a woman who she has presumed to be Sydney Prescott.

"Naomi?" Mark Kincaid had questioned hoping that he had the right apartment, as she gently offered a smile.

   "That's me. Come in. . ." She left the door open and allowing Mark beside Sydney enter, the woman must've remembered the teenage boy, "Martha's kid, right?" She kindly smiled at the boy.

   "Yeah." Chad had quietly responded, he wanted to apologize to his girlfriend for yelling at her, as he was also confused on his girlfriend got in contact with Sydney Prescott, and what is she up to.

   Naomi gently closed her apartment door, eying her boyfriend , "Please, get out of my apartment, Chad. I don't want you here, also considering you didn't give me a chance to go and explain. Leave." She mumbled out, hands on her hips.

   Mark alongside Sydney both realized that something must've occurred in the apartment before they arrived here.

   Chad had shook his own head not budging his own actions, "No. I'm not leaving you, I'm mad at you, but I'm not leaving you alone." He declared.
