Chapter VII

Ghostface, the killer, stood there, waiting, it seemed, just for me to walk in. He slowly walked towards me, like a hungry wolf stalking a small deer. I didn't move, I didn't want it to look like I was running away, although it seemed like a good idea.

By the time he reached me, I was shaking terribly. I have never been so scared in my life, but I tried to keep composure, holding the knife by my side. I was right infront of the door, just incase I needed to bolt.

The killer stopped right infront of me and lifted his hand up. He reached past me to close the door and lock it. After that, he brought his hand up to my face. I breathed out shakily when his gloved hand touched my skin.

He caressed my cheek softly. He held out his other hand, holding out something for me to take. I slowly took out whatever was in his hands. When I found the courage to look at whatever it was, I shook even more.

It was pictures of me, all the way back to when I was fifteen. The first picture was... that night when I was on the phone with Billy. I reluctantly continued to look through the pictures, mostly of me with my friends. The killer waited as I flipped through a few more pictures.

I stopped when I saw a particular picture. I gasped and a few tears left my eyes. I had just gotten out of the shower, going through my closet for something to wear. It was a perfect chance to a nude picture and the killer took that chance with all importancy.

After looking through some other disturbing pictures, I couldn't take it anymore. I handed the pictures backed to the twisted pervert. I could tell he was smirking under that mask.

" Look, I-I don't k-know what you want, but please, I'm begging y-you, don't hurt anyone else. " I was on my knees, crying, at this point, literally begging. I was truly afraid. I knew it wasn't easy to catch a killer, but I thought that this would be what I could do for those who this ass already killed.

I felt a hand on my head, petting me slowly and softly. I looked up at the masked man, tears falling freely about of my eyes. He kneeled down to my level, and looked at me with an unknown expression.

" What do you want from me? " Again, I could tell there was a smile behind the permanent screaming face. I let out a choked sob and tried to stand up, but the killer had a firm grip on my arms.

He pointed at me with his gloved finger. Oh, my Lord. I had this all wrong. This was about me. Honestly, I thought this was Sidney, it could still be, but some part of this bloody story is because of me. I mean I should have figured that out earlier. Why else would he kill my mother and not me? " You... you want me? "

The man spoke no words, just nodded his head. This time, I ripped away from the man and unlocked the door as fast as I could. I rushed out the door and as soon as I was on the other side of the door, Dewey was there with Sidney and Billy.

I embraced Dewey. I started sobbing harder than earlier, just realizing what really happened. After the embrace, Dewey went in the bathroom and Billy wrapped his his arms around me. " Baby, are you okay? Tell me what happened. "

I shook my head frantically, like Sidney earlier. I knew what it felt like now, for a killer to come after me. " Y/N, did you kill him? " Sidney asked, still obviously frightened from her most recent encounter. I shook my head again and welcomed Billy's embracing arms.

" It's okay, we're here. You're safe. " Billy said comfortingly, but it didn't make me feel any better. I felt worse, because I knew if I stayed anywhere near my friends, the killer would gut them like a fish.

Dewey came out after another five minutes. " He's fast, not in there. Are you okay, Y/N? " I nodded slowly, wondering if I really was or not. He nodded and looked at Sidney. " You? " She nodded.

Billy had his arms around my shoulder, guiding me towards, what I was guessing, our third class. That means I've been in there at least an hour and a half to two hours. I stopped before we entered.

" Baby, are you sure you're okay? " I stayed still with no expression. " Hey. Y/N, please, talk to me. " I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. Nothing. Finally, when I could move I took Billy's hand and led him to an empty hallway.

" Babe, what did that fucker do to you? He didn't rape you, did he?! " I shook my head. " N-no he didn't. Billy, do you promise you'll be there at the party? " He looked kind of confused, like there was no answer to my question. " Of course! I wouldn't lie to you, Y/N. You've trusted me this long, what made you question me now? "

I gave a weak laugh. " I don't Billy. I trust you with my life, my everything. But... I don't know if it's a smart idea to go to the party. What if the killer is one of the students? I know Sidney claimed it was Cotton. I heard it from some kid somewhere. It's not Cotton, Billy and I'm scared... I'm scared to lose anyone else. "

Shit, I should have told him. I couldn't though. The killer already knows, but if I told Billy, he might hurt, or even kill him. I was embraced by warm, comforting arms. " You're not going to lose anyone, Y/N. Even if others die, I will protect you, I promise. "

I gave him a small smile. I knew he really ment what he said, after all, we trusted each other. Especially about our mothers secrets. Before Mrs. Loomis left Billy's father, she would verbally abuse Billy, treating him like a slave, but when I said anything, he'd defend her.

Never mean about it though, on either sides. One thing is for sure, Billy was the only one, besides Randy, that I trusted and I wasn't having either one of them dead. " Thanks, Billy. I still need to talk to you, but this helped. "

He smiled at me, a genuine smile, which was pretty rare for him. He took my hand in his and led me back to the classroom. Right outside the entrance, Billy stopped. " I have a plan, baby girl. Don't worry and thank... thank you for trusting me. " I smiled big. " Of course, Billy. I have no reason not to. And even... even if you did kill those people, I wouldn't care. You've been there though the shit my mother put me through and everything else. This is definitely hard on me, but I trusted you before and I trust you now more than ever. "

A/N: Ta-da! This chapter I was kind of reluctant about it, but i think you guys will like it. Listen to the song Kill For You above by Skylar Grey and Eminem. It's kind of how it's going to work between you and Billy and how you feel towards him. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Love you!
