• Chapter Five •

Maxis' eyes widened, having collided with someone else. After she (and the other person) went crashing down to the ground, she was ready to swing a fist, as she assumed that it was Ghostface.

However, her fist was caught mid flight, and not too long after, a Male's voice spoke.

"What the fuck?! You trying out for the college football team or something?"

Maxis finally came to her senses and saw her brother, Kyle, on the ground across from her and holding her clenched fist that she swung. She also saw Shannon and Evan standing nearby. Before she could say anything to respond, she noticed Kyle's expression changing.

"Your arm is bleeding! Are you okay?!"

Having let go of her fist, Kyle began to gently examine her cut, while Maxis would explain what happened. Soon after, Kyle got up and motioned for Evan to follow him.

"Shannon, stay with Maxis for a few seconds..." He spoke as he walked away, Evan following him as they neared the house.

Maxis tried to stop them, just in case Ghostface was still inside. However, it was no use, plus Shannon wouldn't let her get up, just in case she get hurt again.

It didn't take long for Kyle and Evan to come back though, as their search resulted in nothing. However, Kyle did come back with a rag for Maxis' cut.

"Let's get her to the hospital, so they can stitch it up, no?" Kyle asked.

Maxis sighed and nodded. She already knew that the cut was pretty deep and wouldn't stop bleeding on it's own. So, with that being said, all four of them piled into Evan's car and they drove off to the nearest hospital.

***

Arriving at the hospital, they were guided into the Emergency Room, which is where they would take Maxis back to stitch her wound up. As that happened, Kyle would sit in the waiting room, along with Evan and Shannon.

Not too long after getting there, the gang of three were greeted by some familiar faces. It was some of their friends that attended the party, meaning that it was Luke, Jonathan and Bryce. It also meant that Joey (DeadSquirrel) and Lance weren't there.

"What are you guys doing here?" Shannon asked.

"Evan told us what happened, so we figured we'd come to see how she was doing." Jonathan explained before turning to Kyle, "So, how is she?" He asked.

Kyle shrugged, "I mean, she got a pretty nasty cut but she's still alive." He managed to pull off a weak smile.

Although he wouldn't outright admit it, he was both pissed off and worried. Pissed because someone attacked his sister and worried for the same reason.

"Well, that's good..." Bryce replied, "Does she know who did it?" He added.

Kyle shook his head, "The only things she said were that it was someone using Shannon's phone/number and they were in one of those Ghostface costumes, like the one Jaren and John wore..."

"How'd they get her phone?" Bryce questioned while pointing towards Shannon.

Evan spoke up, "They could have either stolen it from the party and used it, or they could have somehow cloned it."

Luke furrowed his brows, "oh yeah? How would you know?" He asked, almost in an accusatory manner.

Catching on quickly, Evan growled, "Fuck you man, you know I was still at the party with Kyle and Shannon."

Before it got any further, Kyle let out a sigh and started to rub his forehead. He wasn't in the mood to hear people pointing fingers at each other and accusing one another.

Shannon must've understood, because she got up. She called for Luke and Evan to follow her, so they could get some drinks for everyone. That left Kyle back with Jonathan sitting in the chair beside him and Bryce standing near them.

It took a few moments but Kyle finally said something else, "You guys ever hear the phrase, history repeats itself?"

Both Bryce and Jonathan nodded. It seemed like they knew where he was going to go with this, so Bryce chimed in.

"I don't know if I'd say that's what's hapenning..." The blonde haired male replied.

"I don't know..." Kyle replied and continued, "It just seems like it, you know?"

Bryce shrugged, "I mean, it honestly just could've been a horrible prank?"

That statement alone caused both Kyle and Jonathan to glare at Bryce.

Doubling down on his theory, Bryce continued, "What? You remember those clown sightings years ago, so it might've been something similar with this Ghostface thing..."

Kyle sighed and threw his head back. As he looked up at the ceiling, he mouthed the words "what a dumbass" in frustration. At the same time, Jonathan must've shooed Bryce away because by the time Kyle sat back up, the blonde haired male was gone. He'd let out another, somewhat frustrated sigh and run his hand through his hair.

Having heard him, Jonathan would pat his friend on the back and started talking, "I'm sorry about Bryce and Luke..." he stopped for a moment to look at his friend before continuing, "I know that some of us didn't go through what you, Maxis and the others did, but we're all here for you guys."

Kyle nodded, "I know..."

"I'm serious!" Jonathan replied, "If that Ghostface clown tries anything again, just call one of us and we'll be there to beat that fucker up!"

After saying that, Jonathan swung at the air as if proving his point. Kyle would let out a chuckle after seeing that and smiled with a nod, as if saying thanks.

A few minutes later, Kyle and Jonathan were being greeted by Maxis, who had her arm stitched and bandaged. She was  released from the hospital. A police officer had also escorted her out to the waiting room. They were there because they had come to take statements from everyone involved. And soon after they did that, Maxis and her brother were ready to go home.
