Billy smiled as he sat back watching Annie as she sorted through her clothes in search for a costume for Stu's annual Halloween party. The Loomis boy was beyond happy that he almost wanted to cancel the nights true plans and just spend time with his girlfriend and boyfriend, no worries in the world but the three of them. But he knew that he had to finish the job, he needed to make Sidney pay and if that meant taking out Tatum and Joel with her, then he would. Especially Tatum who had been telling everyone about Annie dating both Billy and Stu leading to a lot of the blondes followers to call her a whore and torment her about it.

Annie didn't care about what everyone said about her, she was happy with her boyfriends and while it wasn't a traditional relationship, she wasn't going to let society tear her happiness from her. She didn't hesitate to assure both Billy and Stu that she was fine and the words meant nothing to her, they all could claim what they wanted about her but it was only jealousy 'cause she had the two hottest, funniest and protective guys in school for herself. Those words resulted in the boys peppering her with kisses, love bites and some light petting that made Annie crave more; however, due to her healing wound, she couldn't go any further nor would the boys do so.

"Sidney apparently got chased by two masked students today," Stu told the two as he walked into Annie's room, he had an amused smile on his face. "Really?" Annie asked before tilting her head, "Why were they at school? It's a Saturday." Billy stood up and approached her, "Memorial for the dead students." Annie hummed in acknowledgement before she sighed and turned to the two boys, "I have no idea which costume to wear... do I dress as Mrs Vorhees or... do I dress up as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction?" Stu and Billy shared a look before they both said, "Mia Wallace."

Annie laughed at the two before nodding, she reached for the black pants, black lace crop top and a white button-up shirt. Stu handed her some black heels while Billy moved to put Annie's clothes away. "It's a good thing I still have the wig then," Annie told them before she moved towards the bathroom, the two boys moved closer to each other. "What's the plan, Billy? We can't risk tearing her stitches," Stu told Billy with a frown. "Melinda and Randy have a plan for that. Randy's gonna play drunk, Melinda will ask Annie to drive them to his place and then we'll had a small amount of time to get it done," Billy told Stu quietly.

"Oh, boys," Annie called seductively, she was leaning against the wall in costume. The wig she wore matched the colour of her usual hair but was to her shoulders with bangs. Her make-up was natural aside from the blood red lipstick she wore, her white shirt was unbuttoned enough to reveal her black lace crop top and the pants she wore looked like tight jeans that stopped just above her ankles, black heels on her feet. She raised her hand to rest a fake cigarette on her lips, a smirk on her face that made both boys shiver in delight. "We could always stay here instead," Stu said as he looked his girlfriend up and down. "You're the host, Stuey~" Annie replied sweetly.

"Then we better get going before I pin you to that bed," Stu told her before turning and walking out of the room otherwise he was gonna make good on his words. Billy however, prowled towards Annie and trapped her against the wall, the predatory look in his eyes made Annie shiver. Billy placed his hands on her hips and pulled her against his body, he leaned down to her ear, "Do you know how difficult you make it to not just rip your clothes off and make you feel like the Goddess you are?" Annie moaned at his words before she grabbed his face and kissed him, Billy kissed her back and held back a groan as she pulled on his hair.

By seven o'clock, Stu's party was in full swing and Annie was sitting on the couch next to Randy who had Melinda on his lap and a beer in hand watching a horror movie with other students who were drinking. She looked over as Stu opened the door to let more people in, the trio she wished not to see had wandered into the home. Tatum looked over at Annie and glared before grabbing Sidney's arm and storming away while Joel and Stu shared a few words and a laugh before he followed after the two girls, his eyes watching Sidney's hips move as he did so. "So pathetic," Melinda said with an eye roll while Annie sipped on her drink.

"Ignore them, baby~" Randy cooed, kissing her neck before focusing back on the movie that was finishing up. "Next movie, Randy!" One of the students called out, Melinda moved from Randy's lap into the spot next to Annie. "How many for Evil Dead?" Randy asked, a small amount raising their hands in the air. "How many Hellraiser's?" Randy asked next, hands going in the air while Annie looked over at Stu wondering where Billy currently wad. The doorbell rang and Stu made his way towards it, stopping by Tatum first, "Tatum, get some more beers. They're in the fridge in the garage."

Tatum rolled her eyes, "What am I? The beer wench?" She made her towards the garage per Stu's request while Stu opened the door to reveal Gale and Dewey. "Hey, guess who's here! It's that chick from Inside Story!" Stu called out into the home, students rushed towards the woman with questions and flirty remarks. "This must be big news to be on Inside Story," Stu remarked as Annie made her way towards him, a slight glare on her face as she watched Gale's every move. "Huge," Gale replied to him with a smirk. "Wanna interview us?" A student asked her.

"We could be like two grief stricken students and we'll say really nice things about our good friends who were slaughtered senselessly," Randy commented with a slight mocking tone, Melinda smirking at her boyfriend's words. "I can cry on cue," Stu added with a fake pout as he wrapped his arm around Annie. Gale eyes the bookshelf above the television and Annie was quick to notice what she may be up to. "Maybe later?" Gale offered before she started to cough, "Could I trouble you for some water?" Stu smirked slightly, "How 'bout a beer? Randy -- get the lady a beer?"

"You get it," Randy replied to him with a slight glare. As the two looked at each other, Gale slipped her camera from her bag -- hits the ON switch and holds it behind her waiting for the right moment to hide it in place. However, Annie had been watching her every move, she spotted the camera and rolled her eyes knowing the woman was looking for a story but she wouldn't be getting one, that's one thing that Annie knew for certain. "I'm getting another drink," Annie told her boyfriend before making her way towards the kitchen, she spotted Sidney talking to Dewey before she grabbed a drink -- sharing a look with Joel.

Meanwhile, Tatum made her way into garage and searched for the light switch, she finds the button and hits it causing the electric garage door to rise. "Wrong switch," Tatum muttered to herself before hitting it again, the garage door closing. She searches for another switch, finding it and switching it on spurring the small lightbulb above to life. The light barely lit up the large two car garage, leaving pockets of shadows along the wall. Tatum spots the refrigerator against the far wall and heads for it, not seeing the kitchen door -- quietly -- slowly closing behind her, sealing her from the rest of the house. Tatum stumbles to the refrigerator and throws it open, the light casting a glow across her face.

CRASH! Tatum jumps, spinning around just in time to see Stu's cat escape through a large pet door that was built into the garage door. She smiles at her jumpiness and shakes her head at herself. Tatum loads up with as many beers as her hands will carry and heads back to the kitchen. At the kitchen door, she juggles the beer hoping not to drop them as she reaches for the doorknob only to find it locked. "Shit!" Tatum exclaimed with an annoyed sigh, she kicks the door with her foot several times, "Hey, Shitheads!" But no one could hear her over the party happening inside.

Tatum leans over and with her elbow, she hits the garage door switch to open it however, as she moves towards the rising door -- beers in hand -- the garage resets, reversing direction and moves down to close instead. "What the..." Tatum breathed out before turning around to see Ghostface silhouetted in the dark, next to the kitchen door with his hand on the switch. Tatum gasps in surprise, taken aback before relaxing with the belief it was someone fucking around with her. "Is that you, Randy? Cute," Tatum mocks with an eye roll but the figure stares direction at her with no words.

"And what movie is this from? I spit on your garage," Tatum asked with a smirk, she takes a step forward towars the figure, "Lose the mask. If Sidney sees it, she'll flip. Annie might too and as amusing as that sight may be, I'd rather not deal with her boyfriends being all protective over the whore." The figure shakes his head slowly side to side, his hands now clenched into tight fists. "Oh, you wanna play psycho killer?" Tatum asked mockingly, the figure nods slowly. "Can I be the helpless victim?" Tatum pouted playing along causing the figure to nod again at her words.

"Okay, let's see," Tatum began, "No, please don't kill me, Mr Ghostface! I want to be in the sequel." Tatum takes a step to move around the figure but he steps in front of her, blocking her path. "Cut, Casper. That's a wrap," Tatum told the figure. She moves again, sidestepping the figure but he's faster and cuts her off. Tatum moves the beer against her chest with one hand and with the other, she pushes the figure hard, knocking him aside. "Randy--will you stop?" Tatum asked, the figure intercepts, lunging forward and grabbing her wrist hard, Tatum stumbles causing the beer cans to hit the floor. "You little shit..." Tatum growled.

Tatum yanks hard, releasing his hold when a flash of silver catches her eye, she looks down glimpsing a long sharp blade as it darts forward, cutting into her forearm. Tatum pulls back horrified realising the situation was real and completely serious, the killer advances on her -- knife out and ready. She staggers backwards, holding her bloody arm, backing into the refrigerator, screaming. "Who are you?" Tatum asked and the killer lashes out with the knife. Tatum dodges it leaping back against the fridge, the killer advances again.

Instinctively, she rips the top freezer top open, bashing the killer in the face, sending him backwards, reeling. Tatum bolts to the closed garage door, in a panic she beats and pulls on it in an attempt to open it. She eyes the killer who is recovering from the hit before turning to the large pet door, dropping to the floor, diving for it. She wedges her upper body through -- her head, shoulders and torso -- just as the killer pounces, grabbing a hold of her feet. Tatum goes crazy screaming and kicking trying to get through until he lets go, she's left confused when the garage buzzes to life.

"Noooooo!" Tatum screams as the garage door lifts, taking her with it. Tatum's arms and legs flail about violently as she tries to free herself from the door, but it moves too fast, carrying her up. She looks above to see where the foor rolls back into the garage rafters just as her neck hits the first beam, snapping it instantly. The killer stands by the switch staring at the sight for a moment before he slips away from the scene. Tatum's body left there hidden until someone unlucky stumbles upon it, the party goers nor her brother, Dewey having any idea about the dead girl hanging from the garage door.

Rosemary Speaks

I'd like to formally apologise to the Tatum lovers -- myself included -- for killing her off. But I had too, the scene has some pretty iconic one-liners and Tatum was being a bitch to my girl Annie so of course she'd pay for it.

What did you think of this chapter?

How do you think Annie will react to Tatum's death? At least she got to fuck her once, right?

Imma be honest, only a few chapters left of the book. I will not be writing the second movie for reasons you'll learn once this book is completed.

See you in the next chapter!
