"I'm going to quickly head into the kitchen and just add some more honey into this," she softly strolled her way towards the kitchen since she loves her chamomile tea to be a little more sweet than usual as it's just always better for her.

She opened the cabinet that easily held the honey and just grabbing it as she had opened the lid and began squeezing some more of the honey into the mug until she felt that it was enough, and instantly closing the lid. Quietly humming to herself as she stirred the tea, and attempting to forget about the incident in the bathroom and her bloody palm when she had dug her nails into her skin.

She about softly lifted her tea and easily drinking it, the warmth of the liquid was just hitting the back of her throat until she had then easily seen something that she frankly wasn't even liking one bit, so she had quickly placed her mug on the kitchen counter and heading to the sofa to where her boyfriend was casually just sitting at and moving the person out of her way as she instantly slid into the sofa, and her legs instantly being placed on his lap.

"What the hell, Davina?" Tara grumbled in annoyance, and crossing her arms. She didn't even understand why Davina was always like this at times.

Davina had given her an apologetic smile, though Tara seen right past it and knew that Davina didn't feel bad, "Sorry, Tara. There's an empty seat over there." She pointed her finger towards the solo chair, and attempting to just suppress her smile at watching the girl sitting alone.

Ignoring the very tingly feeling in her very own heart as she had noticed Chad caressing her thigh, it had just given her quite the major butterflies. She just secretly adores when he touches her, it's almost as if touch is their love language.

Anika had easily given her cousin a stern look, and spoken, "That wasn't nice, Vina. . ." She shook her head, all while Davina offered her puppy eyes before Anika had easily then gasped at the television, "Oh, shit. Someone go and get, Sam." She blurted out.

Chad tapped his girlfriends thigh that had instantly made her move her legs away from his own lap as he automatically stood up, and placed a kiss on Davina's forehead that made her cheeks instantly reddened as he had then made his way out in search of Sam, shouting of her name was called out as he instantly entered back into the apartment and just sitting beside his girlfriend, his hands swiftly putting her legs back on his lap, caressing her thighs for a sense of comfort and reality.

   Davina recognized his behavior, especially when he does this. He was just getting major anxiety and flashbacks of last year, so she had placed her hand over his in a sense of comfort and quietly speaking to him, "It's okay, you're okay." Reassuring him that he's okay because that's all she wants for him to be okay.

   A loud voice booming that had instantly captured all of their attention as all eyes went onto Sam, "What's going on?" Her arms were just separated with confusion laced in her tone and expression until she seen everyone's finger pointed at the television screen.

   It seemed no one noticed the unfamiliar neighbor of the Carpenter sisters until Quinn had spoken, "Cute boy." Davina practically scoffed at Quinn and on how she easily makes inappropriate remarks on situations like this, but her attention was just easily directed back towards the television once the reporter began to speak.

   ". . .I'm standing in front of the apartment building of the mutilated bodies of two college students."

   Davina's eyes practically widened, body stiffening. Death just terrified her, especially ever since her mom had committed suicide. She can't bare to lose anyone else, especially Anika. She can't lose her, she's all that she just really has.

   Her thoughts had immediately then drifted away once the reporter began to give out very much familiar names, "Have just been released by police. Jason Carvey and Grey Bush. . ." All had blinked their eyes rapidly only to jump as Mindy had an immediate outburst.

   Mindy's eyes had easily drifted towards everyone as she spoken, "Holy shit, that's that chode from our film class. . ." She easily called out before continuing, "The one obsessed with Argento, and the other who kept asking Vina out like only a million times." She given them a quick reminder, all while Davina groaned just remembering that.

   "It's a good thing that he's dead, fucking freak." She easily breathed out. Greg was just always pestering her and just always up on her damn business, it was getting weird.

   "Got that right," Chad agreed with her, he always found it unsettling with the way Greg or Jason would stare at his fake girlfriend.

   Ethan including Quinn had remained silent, both knew why their father had killed the two little wannabes. Davina alongside Sam cannot be harmed by any means. Both girls are needed for the grand finale, especially Davina Kayoko.

   Their attention was just easily then focused back onto the screen, "Also, found at the scene were various Ghostface costumes, a character popularized by the Stab movie franchise." The reporter announced, that was all it had taken for Sam to immediately shut the television off as a moment of silence set into the group.

   Sam had came back to her senses, eyes directly glancing at her sister, "Pack a bag. We leave in ten." Sam called out, walking out of the living room and was quickly just entering the kitchen with Tara who immediately followed her sister in extreme panic.

   Tara instantly shouting, "Sam, Wait!"

   The very simple argument of the sisters immediately captured the apartment boy who had easily spoken in confusion, "Wait, what?" His eyebrows furrowed.

   Chad instantly and gently tapped his girlfriends thighs so he can stand up, and was just casually making his own way towards the apartment boy, his hands being placed on his both of his shoulders, "Thank you, very much suspicious new guy. But, I think we've got it from here —" Chad was easily just pushing the man backwards and out of the apartment with a very sarcastic smile plastered on his very own lips, "Have a goodnight, stay safe. Go, go, go." He had practically shooed him away, the door instantly slamming on the apartment boys face as Chad locked the doors.

   He had strolled his way back towards his girlfriend and sitting beside her and pulling her legs back towards his lap, as he instantly had then felt her lips brushing against his left ear and whispering something only for his ears to hear, "You're so hot when you're like this." Her warm breath tickled his ear, all while he then felt goosebumps as he swiftly turned his head towards her, both eyes were directly gazing at one another.

   It had took everything in him to suppress every single dirty thought, or attempting to kiss her. He desperately wants to kiss her. But, He also just wants to be in an actual relationship with her.

   Their moment had immediately been cut short once the sisters entered back the living room and the shouting just continuing, "It's a big city. It's Halloween everybody's wearing a mask." She stretched her arms out, irritation was laced in her voice.

   Sam had given her a stern look, "Tara this isn't a coincidence. . ." She argued before she had continued on, "You knew him."

   Tara rolled her eyes, "Barely."

   Sam practically scoffed before her eyes wandered towards the twins, speaking directly to the two, "Chad and Mindy back me up here." She called out.

   Chad has awkwardly spoken, "I mean it is a little bit. . ." His voice drifted away and had just began to sooth his girlfriends thigh for a sense of comfort as his sister had easily finished the sentence, "Close to home." She given her friend a pity look, shoulders shrugging.

   Tara felt ganged up only to then quickly glance at her roommate, "Quinn? Your dads a cop, right? Can you go and call him, and see what's going on?" She easily spoken and had just directed a glare towards her sister as she had them continued speaking in anger, "Before you make the unilateral decision abandon my college education, and flee the fucking state." She breathed out.

   Quinn nodded her head immediately standing up from the sofa, "Calling him now." She placed the phone towards her ear, and was just walking away.

   Tara who sighed in relief, "Thank you."

   A moment of silence cruised amongst the friend group until the sound of a phone ringing captured their attentions, all were flinching at the sound including Davina. The very sound of ringing phone's terrified her now, it reminded her of all those calls. Though, the very sound of Sam who scoffed and declined the call it was a sign of relief that it wasn't anything unusual.

   Ethan who butted in, "Why did everyone suddenly freak out when her phone rang?" His hands were closed together, eyebrows screwed in confusion.

   Anika who adjusted herself in her chair, tilting her head, "You gotta keep up my dude." She deadpanned.

   "For a nerd you're actually stupid," Davina scoffed in annoyance. She wasn't a huge fan of her boyfriends roommate, but she just tolerates him at times.

   Ethan's jaw clenched.

Quinn's sudden appearance captured their attention, especially when she had handed the oldest Carpenter her phone, " — My dad wants to speak to you. . ." Sam nodded her head and had just placed the phone into her ear, though it must've been something very important since Sam's eyes were practically widened as she had then handed Quinn her phone back and walked towards the door, "I'll be back, I have to go the station." She called out as the door had then slammed shut behind her.

The friend group went silent afterwards, though immediately averted their eyes towards Tara who went in pursuit of her sister, "I'll be back, I'm going with her." She had walked out of the apartment with the door slamming shut.

The room had then fallen deadly silent afterwards until Davina yawned, eyes glancing at her boyfriend, "You tired? Wanna spend the night in my dorm room?" She shyly asked him as she removed her legs from his lap and just standing up, all while just stretching her body.

"Boys aren't even allowed to enter the girls dorm rooms," Ethan had mumbled out only for Anika and Mindy to chuckle.

"Oh, please. She's always out here sneaking Chad into her very own dorm room. Come one, us four can take a taxi together." Anika smiled at her cousin, both of their hands intertwining as the four of them began to make their exit out of the apartment and leaving the reaming two in the apartment to hear what Davina had just shyly mumbled out.

"It makes me feel really safe with him there, it's just sometimes I feel someone watching me in my sleep, and —" Her voice drifted farther away from them and they hadn't been able to even so capture anything else that she could've possibly been saying.
