"Ghostface hasn't killed anyone in weeks, let alone make any signs they're still here, what if they got scared and decided to stop?".  Corey let out a heavy breath at Sidney's words as he leaned back into the chair he was sitting on.

"I doubt it, they could just be waiting... for whatever reason, or just tormenting us for fun". He looked miserable, and it wasn't hard to pick up on.

Hallie was the first person to notice the changes in his behavior, he was more cold and distant. The bags under his eyes proved what she suspected, he wasn't sleeping. Ever since his big fight with Mickey at the Halloween party, he's been forced to attend anger management classes so he doesn't get jail time.

Mickey of course said he wasn't mad at the boy and they were just drunk, Corey hasn't seen the boy in five days and he was losing it. He was waiting for something and Corey didn't know what.

Sidney sighed "it's been snowing all day, I can barely walk across campus without slipping on a patch of ice" she took a bite out of her sandwich as Corey looked past her. Mickey with all his glory trailed into the lunch hall with a bright smile.

His face for the most part was healed aside from a few scratches and bumps. Corey's face was blank as he looked down at his tray of food, he didn't touch anything on it. Not even the apple Hallie hand picked for him herself, he hadn't eaten anything in days.

He couldn't tell if he was going insane or not, his mind was spinning like crazy as Mickey sat across from him. The boy was laughing as he made some lame joke but Corey didn't pick up on it.

His eyes were dazed as he kept his gaze on his apple, he felt Hallie shift beside him as she looked at him slightly. He didn't acknowledge her when she made a comment about him eating something.

Corey didn't think he could get depressed but he imagined it was creeping into his skin as the days passed. He needed Mickey to just do something already, this game of cat and mouse was going to make him snap at any second.

Corey smacked his hands down on the table when Mickey made a comment about Casey. "Shut up! Just shut the fuck up Mickey!" he had never felt such rage before, it fueled his very being.

His hand twitched and he felt the hot knife that was always hidden behind his boot start to melt into his ankle. It happened in a blink of an eye, one second Mickey was rolling his eyes and saying Corey was being dramatic and then next Corey felt the blood. 

He wasn't sure how he even managed to grab the knife out of his boot but he did, and he saw the way Mickey's eyes shifted towards him. He had the knife so deep into Mickey's thigh that he felt it twist.

Mickey didn't flinch, he looked amused if anything because his little cat and mouse game was working. Corey was slowly turning into a monster, he grabbed his bag off the seat beside him and stormed off.

He didn't care if Mickey dropped dead or went after him, he was going to watch that boy burn and he'd be sure he was the one holding the match.

      Corey paced back and forth between his bed and Mickeys, he kept his hands behind his head as he let out soft whispers of pleads. He needed this darkness to fade away before he snapped at someone.

The door opened but Corey didn't look at it in fact he had hoped it was Mickey. "That little stunt you pulled at the lunch hall, I'll give you points for getting away with it, but you had the perfect opportunity to aim for the throat. Then again can't have sweet little Hallie seeing just how much of a monster you are".

Corey turned and sneered angrily "why are you fucking with me!" he walked toward Mickey as he looked down at the boy. "Huh? You think by making me feel miserable it'll help you feel less shitty about you losing me? We both know you're pissed I ditched your ass for Hallie, so just say it already!".

Mickey huffed "you think everything is about you! For once it's not even about you, I don't care that you screwed Hallie and got her pregnant. None of this is about you Corey, my movie was going to be so beautiful and then you just ruined it all".

Corey couldn't help but laugh "movie! What world are you living in Mickey? No one gives a fuck about movies right now, you die in the end of your so called perfect sequel, how's that even going to be good?".

Mickey pushed Corey back "you don't get it! You never saw the big picture like I did, I should've killed you the second you found my notebook, I would already be at act five by now but I'm stuck on act three and it's all because of you".

Corey sighed deeply "you're mental, and I can't believe I thought we could've had something together, I would've dealt with all the things you do if it meant we could've been normal after all do this, if anyone's ruined your so called movie it's you. You stopped being this cool guy and turned into an asshole behind a mask, you just wanna kill people".

Corey didn't flinch when Mickey pushed him into the wall "oh yeah! If you think I'm so fucking perfect why don't you try being in my shoes, I didn't ask to feel this way, to be this way, but I'm here and I'm not stopping just because you fell in love with me. I can easily be ghostface alone, I don't need a partner, I'll be just like Billy Loomis, get rid of loose ends".

Corey gripped Mickey's wrist when the boy pulled a knife out of his pocket. "Yeah well Billy Loomis died, I killed that asshole and I'll do the same with you, I don't understand your obsession with ghostface, it's not even fun anymore it's a mess".

Mickey tightened his hold on Corey "I like messes it means I'm doing something right for once, if putting on that mask means I'll go down in history as a legend then so be it. I don't care if I die, the whole purpose of this was me dying in the end. We could've gone together Corey, you and me could be unstoppable".

Corey inhaled sharply "I'm not on a suicide mission like you, I only did this to cure the demons I have, and they're only getting worst. Maybe it's time I take the torch and just be ghostface alone... I don't need you and your plan is stupid, Debbie was using you to get at Sidney, I gutted that bitch and I'll do the same to you when Sidney sees your ghostface".

Mickey went to speak but gasped when Corey stabbed a needle into his neck "it's a shame you went and killed all those people Mic, even Sidney's boyfriend too who you used as bait to get her alone. She'll be so shocked to see you pull off the ghostface mask, at least you'll get your perfect movie ending, I just won't be in it with you because I'm you now. I'm ghostface and you're disposable, I don't need a partner, I need victims who will only fear me".

Mickey fell towards the ground and Corey stepped over him as he pulled open the closet door. "You never should've picked me to be your roommate Mickey, I figured you did it on purpose in hopes of killing me, but in the end I'm the one killing you".

He laughed as he walked towards Mickey and put the ghostface mask over his head "all evidence points to you Mic, every single victim you killed, I guess you just cracked under the pressure and ended it early".

Mickey groaned as his eyes began to close "sweet dreams handsome, you'll need all the energy you can get when you wake up. You'll be really surprised".

Corey grabbed the knife off the floor and put it in Mickey's pocket, he kicked the boy's side to see if he was fully asleep. Mickey didn't move a single inch and that made Corey smirk as he dragged his body out of the room towards the theater.

Setting up Derek's body was easy, but putting Mickey in place was hard. The mask kept falling off but after five failures Corey finally did it. He inhaled sharply as he grabbed the knife from Mickey's pocket.

"Here's goes nothing" he groaned when he stabbed himself in the arm. He ignored the sting of it as he slid the knife across his cheek to make him look rough. When he heard the distant sound of footsteps he set the knife down in Mickey's hand.

"You got what you wanted after all Mickey" he kneeled down and watched as the boy began to wake up. He smirked  "welcome to act five baby".
