Soft breaths left the cracks of his lips as blood stained dripped down his arm. He could hear the loudness of glass breaking making him jump as he pushed himself backwards. His back collided with the wooden wall of the cabinet.

"Zachy! Where are you!" Jill's voice slammed into his eardrums making him whimper as he pressed his fingers over his mouth. His body shock with such fright as the cabinet doors burst open.

"Gotcha! You little shit!" Jill grabbed his arm roughly and he screamed as he was pulled out. His body slammed into the ground harshly making him hiss out in discomfort.

"You're running my plan! You weren't suppose to be here Zach! Now you gotta fucking die!". He cried as he pushed himself into the fridge and Jill rolled her eyes as she grabbed a knife out of her pocket.

"You could've been a survivor, had a normal life Zach.. but you just had to wake up! You ruined everything!". He felt something inside of him snap when he saw Kirby pushing herself into the wall behind Jill. Her hand pressing against her stomach as blood poured out of her like water.

His body stopped shaking and the tears stopping falling out of his eyes. He felt such rage slipping into his veins he didn't even know how he tackled Jill. She hit the floor so hard she cried out.

"Zachy!" he stabbed her once, and the feeling made his eyes widen as he did it again. Blood mended into his flesh as he stabbed again.

Her screams didn't phase him as he stabbed away the monster that ruined his life. She had taken everything he ever cared about and he wanted her to feel just how much it hurt him.

He lost count of how many stabs he did, his lips quivered and he saw Kirby looking at him.
"Drop the knife kid! Drop it!" he smiled.

—

Zachary's body jolted awake his screaming entering the room as his hands pressed themselves into his chest. He let out a heavy breath as he pushed his hair back and looked across from him.

Kirby's bed was empty, she must've slipped out for food or work. He turned and found Ethan was gone his eyes looked at a piece of paper that was on the desk beside him. He grabbed it quickly.

Went down to get food real quick-E

He stood up off the bed walking towards the door and pulling the curtain back. It was dark out and he could see the vending machines, no one was there.

His phone ringed making him sigh deeply as he grabbed it out of his pocket. The same contact stared back at him and he hit ignore.

He didn't have the energy to even think about ghostface right now. He sat back down on the bed putting his phone face down on the desk.

The door opened and Kirby walked inside holding onto boxes. "Hey I saw your little friend driving off, said he was getting food". Zach stood up "what's with the boxes?" she placed them down on the bed "evidence and files, I thought I'd just look at everything and get some answers".

He opened the box grabbing the mask "Jill's mask" he looked at it with such disgust. "I thought you'd be asleep, I didn't want you seeing anything".

He put the mask back in the box "all this ghostface drama is making my dreams come back. I haven't had those in years, it's weird".

Kirby sat down patting the bed "talk to me, tell me what you saw that was different". He sat down beside her sighing "you were there this time, you saw me kill Jill, you weren't even there that night".

She shock her head "I was in the basement, tell me what else you saw in the dream". He looked at the box across from him "that's the only thing that was different, you being there and seeing me".

Ethan stood outside the door pausing when he heard talking. "I killed her Kirby and I liked it, I remember liking it, the same thing happened with Richie when I shot him, I like it".

"That doesn't make you a bad person Zach, you killed to survive, you're not a monster for it". He stood up off the bed sighing "I should be, I mean I killed them, isn't that what monsters do?".

He looked at the mask "I can't escape it Kirby, that stupid mask is haunting me. Maybe I should've stayed with Sidney and Mark, I'm scared this time we won't survive".

The door open and Ethan walked inside "I got food" Zach smiled weakly "you didn't have to do that Ethan, I would've got something".

Ethan sat down "I needed some air it's fine" his eyes looked at the box "what's in the box?". Zach pushed it shut "Kirby's detective work, it's boring and honestly ruining the vibes".

Kirby huffed "it's not boring, if anything's boring it's that lame film you made when you were ten". Zach laughed "I was ten! And it wasn't lame, the end part was good, but that's it".

Ethan handed Zach a burger "you made a film when you were ten? I gotta see it now". Kirby smiled "it's in the attic somewhere, he spent an entire month working on it. I swear I had to drag him away from his camera whenever dinner was ready".

Ethan laughed "now I definitely gotta see it, what's it about? Something cheesy? Scary?".

Zach bit into his burger his mind going blank as he thought back to that moment in his life. "I honestly don't remember, that was so long again, I'm sure once we find it, I'll remember. I just know the ending was the best part and it was epic".

Kirby pushed the box under her bed and sat down grabbing a burger out of the bag. "Now you two are gonna stay here for the rest of the night, no more running off. It's not safe".

"Don't worry Kirb, me and Ethan don't have anywhere to be until the morning. We're meeting with Mindy and the others. I'll text of course".

Kirby sighed "you better bring your taser and pepper-spray, anyone of your little friends could be trying to kill you, we're not taking chances this time, not after last time".

He smiled sadly "you sound like Wes, he was always going on about tasers and pepper spray". Zachary looked at the taser on the table beside him, and he smiled... Wes's taser.
