• Chapter Seven •

The deep, robotic voice gave Evan the chills. Although he had never received a call from Ghostface during the first attacks, he imagined that this was what they sounded like. Plus, Maxis had described it to him, in the past.

"What the fuck did you do to Bryce?" Evan growled into the phone, threateningly.

Ghostface chuckled, "Why don't you come to the bathroom and find out~"

"You motherfucker..." Evan replied with another growl, only to be met with the sound of the call being ended.

Evan quickly rushed out of the library. Now, he had no idea as to what bathroom Bryce had gone to, but he'd start with the closest one because that made sense.

***

Reaching the first bathroom, Evan approached the door. He hesitated opening it though, because it really wasn't a smart thing to do, especially if Ghostface was still in there. He probably should've called the police, but he didn't think about it because he was worried about his friend.

Taking a deep breath, Evan quickly pulled the door open and stepped inside. At first, he didn't notice anything. That all changed when he walked towards the urinals, which were hidden behind the stalls.

"Holy shit!" Evan shouted and gasped, taking a few steps back.

Bryce's lifeless body was sat in the corner, like a display. His body was mutilated with deep stab wounds, it would be hard to find an area that wasn't stabbed to hell. To make it even worse, the body was also sitting in a pool of it's own blood.

As Evan stood there horrified, he heard one of the stall doors unlock. Slowly turning towards the stalls, one of the doors opened and Ghostface popped out from behind it.

"You son of a bitch!" Evan growled.

Ghostface lunged and swung their knife, while at the same time, Evan went to push them away.

That resulted in Ghostface stumbling back and falling, but it also resulted in Evan getting cut because the knife connected with his skin, more specifically his arm.

"Shit!" Evan hissed and clutched his wounded arm. He headed for the door to leave, wanting to get to the parking lot and in his car.

***

As Evan neared the parking lot, he stopped for a moment to catch his breath and to check on his cut. He also looked behind him, not seeing Ghostface anywhere.

After spending a few moments at a standstill, Evan would head into the parking lot. However, he was brought to a screeching halt because he had come across a second body.

Stopping to quickly examine it, Evan's eyes widened because it was the missing librarian, with their throat slit. Ghostface must've killed them first while he and Bryce were inside.

Hearing footsteps approaching from behind, Evan whipped his head around, only to see the cloaked and masked killer standing a few feet away from him. Muttering something, Evan took off sprinting again and was getting closer to his car.

As he reached his car, Evan got his keys out and fumbled with them to unlock the doors. He would quickly dive into the driver seat and lock all of it's doors. Once that was done, Evan would start his car and drive off. Ghostface made one, final attempt to stop Evan, by taking a lunge towards the moving car. That plan failed and only sent the killer tumbling to the ground because Evan quickly accelerated, having seen them leap a few seconds prior.

***

Evan decided to drive himself to the hospital, believing that if he stopped, Ghostface would find him. After reaching the hospital, he rushed inside and went to the Emergency room to be treated.

Once he was tended to, Evan would call the police and report the situation. Then, he would text all of his friends and tell them about what happened.

***

About an hour had passed since Evan was attacked by Ghostface and treated for his stab wound. He had given a statement to the officers and was currently being visited by his friends.

Luke and Jonathan were the first ones to show up. Afterwards, both Lance and Joey, also showed. It was the first time anyone had seen or heard from Lance, since Keith's death. Finally, Kyle, Maxis and Shannon were the last ones to show up.

At the current moment, Luke and Jonathan were inside Evan's room, while of the others were out in the waiting area either talking or getting drinks, since the hospital wouldn't let everyone go back all at once.

***

Surprisingly, or maybe not, Evan was released from the hospital that same night. The whole group was currently walking out to the parking garage.

Luke, Joey and Lance were in the front of the group. Luke would occasionally look back towards the other, being suspicious about everything.

"I still don't understand, how did this Ghostface person know you guys would be at the library?" He spoke.

Evan shrugged, "Maybe someone overheard Bryce and I talking about it? I mean, the only person I directly told was Kyle..."

Although Evan had said that, he didn't mean it in an accusatory way, as he knew that Kyle wouldn't have done this. However, that's not how some of the others saw it.

"Oh really now?" Luke asked, stopping as he would look back towards Kyle.

And soon enough, everyone else's eyes were also on Kyle. The male stood there, completely shocked by what was just said.

"Oh, hell no." Kyle quickly responded, "I know you aren't trying to accuse me of this shit." He added, already knowing where Luke was going with this.

"I mean, it did take you a while to get to the hospital..." Lance interjected.

"Oh, eat shit, Lance." Kyle replied with a middle finger to the other, before turning to Luke, "in case you forgot, the four of us lived through this shit before..." he motioned towards Shannon, Evan, Maxis and himself.

Luke interrupted him, "Which makes, at least, one of you four a prime suspect. Especially you, Kyle because of what Evan said."

Kyle groaned and sighed in annoyance, "Did something in your head get knocked loose from the time we left the hospital to the time we walked into the parking garage?"

Luke threw his hands up, "Look, all I'm saying is that it's a little suspicious, don't you think?"

"Take your suspicion and shove it up your ass." Kyle replied in annoyance.

Maxis chimed in, "You know, Luke, accusing others isn't always the best strategy..."

Luke interrupted with a scoff, "Well, excuse me Nancy Drew."

The group's discussion was becoming more and more heated by the minute. That was until Jonathan and Evan got in between everyone.

"Guys, this is not what Bryce would want, and this is not what Keith would want. This is not what anyone wants. So, everyone, just shuch up, get in your cars, go home and rest for the night..." Jonathan replied, almost demandingly. It appeared that he, much like everyone else, had grown tired of the bickering.

Surprisingly, everyone else followed those "orders" from Jonathan. Everyone had gotten into their cars and drove home for the night.

....

A/N: Well shit, Evan was attacked! Luckily, he managed to survive (much to the dismay of Ghostface). Also, it seems like the deaths are starting to get to the group, as they were arguing back and forth. I, also, wonder who Ghostface is? Anyway, I guess we shall find out as the story progresses! See you in the next chapter, stay safe and peace out!
