A/N: This chapter has been re-edited/reworked and has been updated on 12/12/22 (it's a bit more brutal/"Gorey" so please be aware of that!!)

++++

Maxis tensed up and her eyes slightly widened upon hearing the robotic voice of Ghostface speaking to her. However, she regained her composure quickly.

"What do you want, Ghostbitch?"

Ghostface chuckled at her witty remark, "I'm calling to turn myself in... isn't that what someone should do after killing two innocent people?"

Maxis rolled her eyes, "Bullshit."

"I'm dead serious detective... I just have a couple more things to check off my bucket list before I come to turn myself in~" Ghostface replied.

"Does one of them involve me kicking your ass? Because I'm already 2-0 against you Ghostface bitches." Maxis smirked behind the phone, remembering how she's (mostly) kept her ground against previous Ghostfaces.

Another chuckle came from Ghostface, "Only because you had others to save you then~ This time you won't be so lucky~"

"And what makes you so sure?" Maxis rolled her eyes again as she was starting to get bored of the conversation.

"This~" Ghostface replied.

There was a few moments of silence before Maxis heard the sound of a doorbell. It confused her and now she wasn't understanding where they were going with this.

Just as she was about to say something, the call was ended and a few seconds later, the (presumably) same unknown number was sending her pictures. Those pictures were of the outside of her/her brother's house.

Finally realizing what they meant, Maxis muttered a quick "no..." under her breath.

Quickly cranking her key to start the car, Maxis sped out of the gas station parking lot, heading back in the direction she had just come from minutes ago.

As she drove, she tried to call Kyle, muttering a new curse word every time he didn't pick up.

***

Meanwhile, at Kyle and Shannon's house, Kyle was busy showering as he waited for Shannon to come back from her mother's house. As he showered, he heard the doorbell ringing.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me." He mumbled as he stood under the water in the shower.

Kyle debated on getting out to answer the door, but he decided to finish his shower as whoever was at the door could wait, or maybe they'd go away, if he was lucky enough.

***

After about five more minutes, Kyle was dried off and had a new set of clothes on. He made his way to the front door, looking out of the side windows, not seeing anyone, so he just shrugged it off and started to walk away.

While walking away, the doorbell rang again. Stopping in his tracks, Kyle sighed and turned around to head back to the door. Once again, he looked out of the side window and saw nobody.

Letting out another sigh, Kyle turned back around and began to walk away, again. He began to think that maybe this was one of those moments that he should probably call his sister and tell her about the door bell. That's what he was going to do, at least until he realized his phone was in his bedroom. Heaving an annoyed huff, Kyle headed towards the stairs, so that way he could get to his room for his phone.

As he walked past the front door and towards the stairs, the doorbell rang again, again and again. Whoever it was, was now being a nuisance.

"Alright motherfucker..." Kyle grumbled as he headed back to the door.

In a fit of blind frustration, Kyle walked straight to the door and unlocked it, gripping the doorknob. He opened the door and his eyes widened. There stood Ghostface, on the front porch. Kyle didn't have enough time to react, as Ghostface quickly swung their knife, plunging it into his gut.

"You fucking prick..." Kyle groaned in pain.

Much like his first ever run in with Ghostface, years ago, he shoved them away. The knife was ripped out from his gut and Ghostface staggered back, however there wasn't enough room for Kyle to get around them, so that meant he'd have to either fight them or make a break for it towards the back door.

Taking just moments to think, Kyle took off towards the back door. Within seconds, he managed to get to the other door, but just as he got it open, a gloved hand covered his mouth and there was a sharp, stabbing pain in his back. Yelping into the gloved hand, Kyle tried to pull away from Ghostface. It didn't work as Ghostface slammed their knife into his back for a second and third time.

Ghostface would then shove Kyle outside, causing the other to stumble and fall to the ground, hitting his head with a groan. Stepping outside, Ghostface would roll Kyle over onto his back and get down to his level, making sure to put all of their weight on his legs, so he couldn't kick them or get up.

Bringing their knife up with both hands, Ghostface was about to plunge it into the injured male, however Kyle managed to grab a hold of their wrists and temporarily stop them. It soon became a battle of the strongest, as Ghostface continued to inch their knife towards the other.

Due to his already injured body, Kyle could feel his grip straining and starting to weaken as the tip of the killer's knife continued to creep closer and closer to his throat. Just as the blade's tip was poking the skin of Kyle's neck, Ghostface managed to weaken Kyle's grip enough, so that they could quickly ram their knife through Kyle's neck and make part of the blade come out from the back side.

Ghostface would viciously rip their blade out of his neck, watching as Kyle coughed and sputtered up blood from his mouth and as the blood seeped out of his wounds. At the same time, Ghostface would take the time to stab Kyle's chest a few times, just for good measure as Kyle couldn't fight back.

Once Kyle went limp, Ghostface slowly stood up while wiping their blade clean. Then, they'd roll Kyle's body back over onto his stomach and flee the scene.

....

A/N: Uh... So yes, I did rework the death/attack in this chapter, and yes I may have borrowed an idea or two from a Scream movie for this attack, only because I felt like it was a better death/attack for Kyle? So yeah, stay safe and peace out!!!

P.S.: The next chapter is also up, too!
