#scream!au

Everything was normal, he'd picked a target; one that was barely managing to walk out of Club 100 - the most popular club on the Kook's side of the Island.

Benjamin Gilbert. The son of the biggest pain-in-the-ass lawyer on Figure 8. His mother was the one who'd managed to score both JJ's father and cousin a sentence in jail. They'd been made to spend 4 years in that shitty Charleston prison, not to mention all the countless other Pogues and people from the Cut who had been convicted due to her hand.

Well, now it was time for revenge and it came in the form of JJ Maybank. He knew the moment he'd start targeting adults, the case on finding his identity would skyrocket, so how could he hurt this 57-year old woman? Easy, by going after her son.

Nothing would hurt a mother more, than seeing her child chopped up into little pieces all because of her actions.

JJ watched as Ben stumbled down an alley, muttering to himself. He was clearly under the influence, meaning this would be an easy kill, right? Wrong...

He stalked after him; mask covering his face; cloak covering his body; knife in hand. He made sure no one was following both him and Benjamin. Hiding behind the dumpsters, ignoring the smell leaking from each, he marked his prey with his eyes - a big, red target on the Kook's back.

When he saw Ben almost fall, before straightening back up, chuckling at himself as if he had just watched someone else do the same: JJ made his move.

He jumped out, Ben spinning around quickly, immediately sobering up and panicking. He stalked forward, raising his arm above his head, ready to strike the first blow. But Ben was too quick. In a rush of adrenaline, he pushed JJ, causing him to stumble backwards and trip over his cloak.

"Damn it." He growled, the voice modulator making him sound even angrier. JJ crashed backwards into the wall, not quite falling, but definitely losing his balance. The knife fell to the ground, making a sharp clinking sound, that cut through the air like a bullet.

"You- You're that- that killer, aren't you?" Ben stuttered, terrified. JJ smirked behind his mask, he loved the moment of realisation each of his victims would get. It made the kill that much sweeter.

"Well done. You figured it out. Now.. where were we?" JJ replied, his tone sarcastic even through the voice modulator. He went to pick up his knife, when Ben quickly stamped his foot onto JJ's hand, causing JJ to groan in pain and clutch his hand, standing back up.

Ben grabbed the knife, holding it in front of him - playing the brave victim, that believed they'd be able to survive. "Don't come any closer.." He said, his voice quivering, despite his attempts to sound brave. "Or I'll-"

But he was cut off by JJ's interruption. "Or what? You're gonna stab me?" JJ mocked, almost laughing. "Please, look at you, 'Mama's perfect little boy'. You don't have the guts-"

However, this time it was JJ who was cut off, by the sharp pain in his side. His flesh parted for the knife as Ben pushed it into JJ's body. Blood immediately started to pour from the wound, staining JJ's t-shirt beneath the cloak, as well as the cloak itself. It had seen many bloodstains, but never JJ's.

"Son of a bitch." JJ growled behind the mask, the modulator unable to hide the angry, animalistic growl he gave off.

Ben immediately froze after that, he couldn't believe it. He, Benjamin Gilbert, a boy who'd never done anything bad in his life, had just stabbed a man. And not just any man, the Ghostface Killer.

Unfortunately for Ben, his little freezing moment was gonna cost him. JJ reached beneath his cloak, taking out his 'just-in-case gun' and aiming it right at Ben's forehead. Ben almost screamed, but was cut off by the deafening sound of a gunshot.

As Ben's now limp body, fell to the floor, JJ tucked away his gun, groaning in pain, as he held his now punctured side. It was the only time JJ had never shown his face to his victims..

Back at the Chateau, JJ was struggling to close up his wound. He'd managed to stop the bleeding, using half of John B's toilet paper and 'clean' towels.

Everyone was supposed to be out at a kegger on the beach: JJ was supposed to be meeting the rest of the Pogues there, but that was looking less likely right about now.

He stepped out of the bathroom, looking both ways - making sure there was definitely no one here. When he had convinced himself he was alone, he ventured out to the kitchen. Still holding his side, with an icepack wrapped inside a towel, he searched the cupboards for the first aid kit.

He knew John B kept one in the Chateau somewhere, as he'd used it before when John B had to patch JJ up after a fight with his Dad. It wasn't in the bathroom, so hopefully it would be in the kitchen. "Damn it, where the fuck is it?" He growled, the pain in his side not having gone down, as well as the blood.

That's when he heard the porch door swing open, his eyes widened. John B wasn't supposed to be back so soon, it was only 11, surely he must be macking on some hot chick right now.

"JJ? You here?" You called out, once you stepped inside the shack known as the Chateau. JJ's shoulders visibly tensed. You were his best friend, meaning whatever shitty lies he usually told the other Pogues, weren't gonna work on you.

You continued to look around the Chateau for him, until you caught him in the kitchen, gripping the counter and holding the towel-icepack combo on his side. "JJ? What the fuck happened to you?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it." He replied, through gritted teeth, as he clutched the counter harder, his biceps tightening beneath his shirt.

While you weren't complaining about the view of his muscular back, you did want to see his pretty face. "Uh, uh, don't you even think about it. You can't bullshit me, JJ."

You stepped closer, turning him to face you, by pushing his shoulder. That's when you finally noticing the blood on his shirt and on the towel, which he held against his side. "Holy fuck-"

"I'm fine. Just fell and crashed my bike, no biggie. Besides, you know I ain't exactly careful on that shit." He replied, his tone annoyed and defensive, it was clearly he was being his usual stubborn self.

"Yeah, cause you look it." You rolled your eyes. Did he honestly think he could get away with lying TO YOU?? "That wound must be worse than it looks if you think you can lie to me."

"I'm good, princess, don't worry about it." You wanted to slap him, why does he have to be so stubborn all the time. You probably would have, if you couldn't tell how badly in pain he was.

"Sit down." You said, helping him to sit on the counter, as you turned to the cupboards and pulled out the first aid kit. JJ rolled his eyes, of course you found what he'd been looking for the past 5 minutes, in under 5 seconds.

"Princess, I told you, I'm fine." He repeated, as he watched you dig through the kit for bandages and wipes. He remained perched on the counter anyways, not making any effort to move off and stop you.

"Bullshit. Stop fucking lying to me. I'm not Kiara, I don't just look into those pretty blue eyes of yours and believe everything that comes from your lips."

That shut him up quickly. It also brought back a piece of the normal, usual him - the one you loved and much preferred. You walked over to him, gently moving the towel-icepack combo from his side and lifted up his shirt.

"What? Not gonna ask for a date first?" he couldn't resist, but you didn't mind. You were used to his flirty little comments, after all you'd grown up with them, they were a part of your friendship. "Then again, you were always straight to the point weren't you?"

You chuckled at his words, until your face fell. His smirk also faded, when he saw your parted lips and widened eyes. The wound was deep, surrounded in dried blood and a horrendous sight. It made you want to throw up.

"Holy fuck, JJ! How did this even- What the fuck were you doing?!" You exclaimed wanting nothing more than to find out how your best friend had earned a wound like that.

"I told you I crashed my bike."

"And I told you not to bullshit me. How did it happen?" You say, your tone more firm and frustrated now. You could swear it looked like a stab wound, but you didn't want to say anything.

JJ could tell he wasn't winning this fight, you had that look in your eyes. "Alright, fine, just- just don't be mad." He mumbled, unable to believe that he was actually admitting this to you. "I got into a fight.. with a Kook."

"You're such an idiot, you know that? What the fuck were you even doing on Figure 8?"

"I went to pick up some beer, the good stuff. You know, the one Kie brought that one time?"

"And instead of bringing back beer, you brought home a losing fight wound?"

"Hey! I didn't lose, practically killed the other guy."

"Yeah, right, JJ. I'll believe it when I see it." You rolled your eyes, at his exaggeration, not understanding that he was in fact telling the truth.

You immediately got to work on his wound, stitching him up and self-prescribing him some antibiotics for the pain. Afterwards, instead of returning to the party, you stayed at the Chateau with him, helping him tidy the bathroom and get rid of all the mess he'd made before John B returned home.

You'd even stayed the night with him. Both of you sleeping in the spare room, which had basically become his since he spend most his time here. He'd slept shirtless, his stomach and abs covered by the massive-arse bandage you'd wrapped around him. He watched you as you slept, peacefully, next to him, unaware of who he truly was.

"Jin - This isn't funny anymore." She said with a shaky voice. "Stop it or I'll break up with you and tell everyone you have a small dick."

There was silence for a few seconds until a glass broke in the hallway. Somi glanced in the direction and saw the dark ominous hallway.

"Jin.." She said softly. Her phone lit up once more.

Ghostface sent you a snap

Out of desperation, she opened it only to see a blank screen. With the text, 'I want to play a game. you win, you live. you lose…. you die.'

"I don't want to play your stupid game," Somi said as she backed up into the kitchen. She glanced around and grabbed the closest knife.

Ghostface sent you a snap

Somi didn't open it. She was not going to play any game. Somi had seen enough horror movies to know exactly what was going to happen.

Ring Ring!

Her phone rang causing her to jump at the loud sound. Jin's name lit the screen, without hesitation she answered.

"Jin! Something's wrong I -" She was interrupted by the sound of his laugh on the other end of the line.

"You fell for it." Jin snickered. Somi's terrified expression morphed into one of absolute disgust.

"You asshole." She said resting the knife down on the table.

"I'm so sorry babe." Jin answered, "Why don't you come on upstairs and I can make it up to you?"

Somi looked around the house. Her dog sitting calmly on the carpet and everything else seemed to be in order.

"Nice try but I have to clean up the glass you broke in the house," Somi said.

"Clean it up after, come up first," Jin said in a more seductive tone. Somi let out a sigh before her lips tugged into a half-smile.

"Fine." She ended the call and gripped her cellphone as she walked to the backdoor and locked it. Next, she made her way up the staircase and headed towards her bedroom. The door was slightly ajar. She mindlessly scrolled through her Instagram feed before stopping at the new picture Y/n posted with her boyfriend Johnny Seo.  The one boy in the university that Somi wanted but couldn’t get.  She gawked at her friend’s picture before locking her phone.  Somi unbuttoned her PJ shirt as she gripped the door handle and pushed it up.

Somi was met with a sharp pain in her stomach.  A gasp left her pink lips, dark eyes looking down at the wound, her toned stomach now pierced and dripping with blood. She was about to scream when a hand wrapped around her neck suffocating her.

She cried out in pain, frantically trying to move however, her 162cm stature was no match for the taller person donned in all black. Somi looked up at her killer, she couldn't see who it was because they had chosen to wear a mask. A fucked-up mask to hide behind. Somi felt the knife exit her body only to have in plunged back into her not once or twice by five times.  Tears fell from her eyes as she was helplessly violated by the masked intruder.

The killer wearing the same mask her boyfriend wore to the last Halloween costume party. 

Bang!

You jumped at the sudden noise and glanced at your window, you saw Johnny attempting to climb through the opening with his long body.

"You could have used the front door." You pushed your chair back and walked over to him, helping him in.

"I would but your roommate hates me," Johnny smirked as he looked down at you,

"She has a reason to." You joked before walking back to your bed and closing the notebook you were reading.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Johnny added as he pushed you down on the bed and crawled on top of you. Johnny simply smiled before leaning down and pressing his lips against yours. You melted into the kiss, a smile tugging at your lips as his hands wandered down the side of your body and rested on your hips.

knock! knock!

"I'm coming in," Yuri called out as she turned the doorknob.

You gasped and pushed Johnny off you and he rolled off the edge of the bed before landing on the floor.  

"Yeah?" You called out as you looked back at your roommate.

"Y/n, are you done with the humidifier? I need to use it." Yuri said.

"Yeah, hold on." You quickly pushed yourself off the bed and grabbed the pink humidifier, "Here you go." You handed it over to her. Yuri paused and looked around the room. You also did the same, trying to follow where her eyes went. If she only knew Johnny was in here then you both would be in big trouble.

"Something wrong?" You asked.  There was a cold breeze from your open window sending shivers down your spine.

"No..I just... " She let out a huff before stepping out of the room, "Just lock your window. Yuta told me another uni student's place got broken into today."

"Sure, goodnight Yuri." You said. She replied before heading back to her room.

You could tell she felt something. She always did get these vibes and would sense things that others couldn't. At times, you had to admit - it was pretty creepy. You locked your bedroom door and turned around. The room was completely still.

"Johnny... " You took a step forward. "Where are you?"  You whispered as you walked around to the other side of the bed but he was gone. Odd.

creak!

The sound of your closet door slightly opening caught you off guard. Your body spun around as you looked at the closet door. The dark setting caused hesitation. You took a step forward and the door didn't move.

"Johnny." You crossed your arms in front of you, "This is not - Fu!" You almost screamed as you felt Johnny's arms warp around your from behind.  He immediately covered your mouth and chuckled.

He held you in his arms before slowly loosening his grip.  You turned around and hit his chest as he laughed at your misfortune.

"Not funny."

"Just a little funny." He teased before walking to the window. "Anyway, I'll leave before Yuri comes running in."

You rolled your eyes.

"You're cute when you're scared." He added. You scoffed before he pressed a kiss to your cheek. "Sweet dreams princess."

"Goodnight dork." You added before watching him leave through the bedroom window.

"I swore I heard screaming last night," Yuri said as she walked with you to class. On the way, you couldn't help but notice that there seemed to be a bit more campus security around. Something just didn't feel too right about the situation. Things got even more suspicious as you entered the classroom. The room itself was packed with tension. Faint whispers were bouncing off the classroom walls, mixing in with the humming of the air conditioning unit.

"Something's wrong." Yuri nudged you as you both sat down in your usual seats.

“Did you call your girlfriend?” You asked.  Yuri shook her head although now you had her contemplating whether or not she should check up on her girlfriend. 

“I’m sure she’s fine,” Yuri responded as she looked down at her lock screen.  It was a picture of Yuri and her girlfriend, Kelly.  A cute African-American girl with pretty brown eyes - a perfect match for the Japanese girl.   

"Hey … oh fuck."  

You glanced up and saw Sonia, she was picking up her notebook from the floor and piling them onto the table.  You chuckled at her clumsiness but then leaned down to help her pick up the last page that slipped out.

"Did you hear the news?" She asked.

"What news?" You quirked an eyebrow.

"Somi .. " Sonia paused, she sat in her seat directly in front of you, hesitation setting in briefly before adding the last part, "was murdered last night, and her boyfriend, Jin.. he's missing."

The words seemed to hit you like a truck. You glanced at Yuri whose mouth was agape. She covered her face quickly and mumbled.

"I fucking knew it." Yuri let out a breath, "I knew something was wrong."  

You couldn't deny that she was right about her feelings.  

"What happened?" You asked. Somi shared most of your classes, in fact, she would sit right behind you.  There was no denying that she was a mean person but she didn't deserve to be murdered.

"No one wants to tell me but I think Yuta would know," Sonia said. "I .. I heard Somi was gutted out like a pig. Her intestines just oozing out."

You cringed at the image that appeared. Her pretty face, lifeless as her insides spilt out. Fuck. It was gross. You tilted your head down slightly and winced.

"How could someone do that?" Yuri asked. The same question running through your mind. Only a sick person would find pleasure in something of that sort. "Ugh speaking of a sick person- Boyfriend alert." Yuri's words made you look up.

Johnny Seo strolled into the classroom with his dark blue hoodie and a pair of glasses. A smile on his face as he joked about something with his best friends Jaehyun and Yuta. They looked exactly like what you'd expect a frat boy line to resemble. To make matters worse, the trio usually acted in that way as well.  However, they weren't just pretty faces. They were rather clever to some degree. Johnny glanced in your direction and smiled. He strode towards you and leaned down to press a kiss against the side of your forehead.

"Can my girlfriend get any prettier?" He flirted as he sat next to you. Yuri rolled her eyes.

"You're late." You teased changing the subject.

"I know, Jaehyun tipped in the parking lot -"

"I was pushed," Jaehyun interjected as he slipped behind Sonia and took a seat next to her. Yuta sat on the other end of Sonia and glanced at you.

"Anyway, did you hear about Somi?" Yuta asked as he opened up his laptop and adjusted his glasses.

"I heard enough," Yuri said as she crossed her arms and glared at her brother. Yuta waved her comment off and opened up his laptop.  You looked at Yuta, he was a business major yet he wanted to be a reporter. His parents wouldn't let him do anything of that sort so he was essentially forced into this university. Worst yet his sister Yuri was a top student who had a passion for Mathematics so one could only imagine the pressure he was under.

You glanced over at Jaehyun, he was nice. However, he had a passive-aggressive part to him which bared its ugly face from time to time. You - unfortunately, were on the receiving end of it the first time Johnny introduced you to him. As time progressed you assumed he took a liking to you since his sarcastic comments subdued.

Sonia was sitting between both guys, you bumped into her on the first week of school. Literally. She was running late and you both collided resulting in her chai being spilt all over you both. She apologized to you for a week and even bought you a new shirt. Sonia was sweet no doubt but she did carry some peculiar interests, particularly in one of the professors, Mr Shigaraki.

"Good morning." The sound of your vice principal caught you off guard. You looked up and saw the older man as he walked into the classroom followed by two policemen. "I am sure you all are aware of the events that occurred last night."

Whispers flooded the room.

"Students, please." Vice Principal Park said in an attempt to gain their attention. "As for today, everyone who shared classes with the two students will be called in for questioning and grief counselling."

"Are they serious?" Johnny asked as he leaned closer to you.

"I guess, didn't you and Somi have all the same classes?" You asked your boyfriend.

"We did?" Johnny didn't seem to know that. "Well I guess I'm gonna have to be interrogated," he added a chuckle to his statement. It was peculiar how Johnny could make serious situations into a joke. At times this was needed however, there were other times when it could get inappropriate. You looked back at the Vice Principal.

"Thank you for your cooperation." He said before leaving the room with the police and the first five students.

"Remember Johnny don't joke around too much or they might think you actually killed Somi," Yuta said as he turned in his seat to face you both.

"They wouldn't be able to convict me anyway." Johnny rebuts, "I have an alibi." Johnny moved his arm and placed it around your shoulder pulling you closer to his much bigger frame.  He turned to you and placed a chaste kiss on your cheek.

"Who?" Yuta and Yuri asked in unison. Ah shit, Johnny sold himself out.

"Johnny was with me last night." You said softly. You knew Yuri had something against him but you weren't sure what it was.

"You snuck in?" Yuri asked as she pointed to Johnny, "Aish if our manager only knew he would have us pay extra." Yuri complained.

"Yah, calm down," Yuta said to his younger sister. You watched as the two argued with each other for a good few minutes. All this time you noticed that Jaehyun was trying to talk to Sonia only to be interrupted by the voice of the teacher.

"Good morning." You looked up and saw your professor enter the room. The chatter died down as he placed his notebook on the table and looked back at the class.  His name was Mr Shigaraki, his most defining feature had to be his jet black, shoulder-length hair which he usually kept tied back. He was only thirty-one years old, the youngest of all the professors and to say he was attractive was an understatement.

"Even though we have suffered a loss - we must continue our lives, but always keep them in mind." Mr Shigaraki said monotonously. You followed his gaze as he looked at his student. He had everyone's attention, however, you noticed that Sonia wouldn't even look up from whatever she was doing.

"Mr Shigaraki," You saw Johnny raised his hand. "Does this mean classes might get cancelled if a couple more people .. die?"  Little chuckles came from the class.

"Yes, but let's hope that no more people end up dead." Your professor said. "Now let's get back to work. Did anyone complete the research from last class?" He asked.

You flipped open your notebook and smiled as you saw your notes written down - it wasn't your neatest handwriting but you were just happy that it was done. Mr Shigaraki was known for his stern nature and brutal consequences if you didn't do his research.

"Well let's start - Ms Y/n why don't you tell us what you gathered from this assignment." He said as he sat back in his chair and leaned back. He cocked his head to the side as he waited for your reply. Speaking in his class was always a nerve-racking thing and for some odd reason, he always showed a liking to your group of friends. Always picking on the six of you - well eight when Somi and Jin were still here.

The thought of Somi caused you to stutter as you leaned forward in your seat and began to speak up. Thankfully you were able to answer - and a rather good one too since you received a compliment from the professor himself. You smiled before leaning back in your seat.

You glanced at Yuri who smirked at you and wiggled her eyebrows. You had a boyfriend, but one time you got super stoned with Yuri and Sonia and ended up confessing to the fact that you would 100% be the first to fuck Mr Shigaraki to get extra credit. So far that secret was kept between you and your two best friends.

About an hour into the lesson another group of students came back to class and it was finally your turn to go in for questioning. You grabbed your bag as your professor called your name along with four other people. It was a short walk towards the room which was a good thing because you were still tired from staying up late last night.

"Ms Y/l/n." The officer's voice called out. You waved your hand as you approached the door. He allowed you to entered the room which had two more persons. One was Detective Choi and the other was an officer you didn't know.

"Ms Y/n." Detective Choi smiled. He was an older man, tall and wise with age yet you only saw his gentle nature he showed to you when you were younger.  He was a rookie detective the first time you both met and now with his experience and abilities, he made it as one of the top detectives in the area.  He was the one who worked with you when you were a kid and witnessed the break-in at your house.

"Detective Choi!" You smiled and took a seat across from him.

"How have you been?" Detective Choi asked.

"Up until today, things have been okay." You said, "Are you allowed to tell me about what happened to Somi?"

Detective Choi let out a huff before leaning back in the chair. You could tell he didn't want to share the details of the event but you had to know. She was your friend - not a very good one but she was still a person.

"She died around 11 pm last night and her boyfriend, Seokjin Lee is missing. We're questioning people about his whereabouts but nothing came up yet." The detective said. You nodded, your lips pressed in a thin line as you looked away.

"Do you think it was school-related?" You asked.

"I'm not sure, but hopefully we can get things figured out before anything else happens. " There was a pause, "We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened before."

You glanced at him immediately. He was referring to what happened when you were five years old. The so call massacre that shocked everyone in the town.

"Should I sign you up for grief counselling?" He asked. You shook your head. "Well that's all, stay safe Y/n." The older man said with a forced smile. "You still have my number so call if anything happens."

"Will do," You answered as you left the room. Another student entered the room as you walked down the hallway. Your mind wandered, this entire situation didn't feel real at all - it felt like some dream that you would wake up from any second. 

buzz buzz

Your phone buzzed in your pocket. You stopped right before the door to your classroom and took out your cellular. It was still ringing - however, an unknown number lit up the screen.

"Hi." You said as you held the phone to your ear. A soothing voice replied. It was deep but not grungy at all - in fact, it was very pleasant.

"Hello Y/n."

"Who is this?" You asked as you leaned against the wall.

"You'll find out soon enough." The person said, "Now the real fun is about to begin. Let's see who gets gutted next."  With that, the call ended. You moved the phone from your ear before looking down at the screen. What the fuck was that?

The next day you were walking to class with Yuri, she shared all your classes since you were both doing the same major.  

"How'd you sleep last night?" You asked her. The Japanese female shrugged and adjusted her belt.

"Fine, I guess, I still miss Kelly." She glanced at you, "You know, when I was talking to the detective yesterday he said that this could be related to the thing that happened when we were five years."

"The Kwon Hyuck massacre." You stated. Yuri nodded.

"If that's the case, we're in some deep shit," Yuri said.

"Why is that?"  You questioned. That's when it hit you.

"Because they never caught the killer - if the killer is returning they might come for us first because …" Yuri paused, she stopped walking and turned to face you, "Me and you and Somi, were the only ones who survived that night."

Your heart started to race at the thought of someone coming to kill you. Being a survivor feels great until you realise that you could be the next main target if the killer isn't caught. You let out a breath and pushed your hair back. You recalled the conversation you had yesterday with the mysterious person, not taking it to heart until … now.

"Guys!" You turned around and saw Sonia skipping up to you. She looked happy today.

"Hey Sunny, looking sunny today." You teased as you pinched her cheek. She blushed and playfully pushed your hands away.

"Feeling sunny!" She replied.

"Even with the murders?" Yuri asked.

"Right - I almost forgot that really happened." You saw Sonia's smile fade.

"You must have had good dick last night." Yuri teased. “Or pussy.”

"Yuri's right - you didn't answer your phone. At all." You added. You tried calling her twice last night but she didn't answer the calls. That was very unlike her. "So who is the lucky guy? Or is it a girl?"

"Oh.. uh I .." Sonia stuttered.

"Y/n." Again you were interrupted by a male voice.

"Johnny!" You said as he rushed behind you and grabbed around your waist, lifting you off the ground and squeezing you in a hug. You smiled at him before squirming and asking him to put you down. You turned to face him as your two other friends spoke to each other. "Where were you last night?" You asked.

"I was with Jaehyun why?" He replied.

"No reason, I was just calling you but I didn't get an answer." You said. It’s like no one had their phones last night. The fact that after class yesterday you and Johnny hadn't spoken wasn't too odd since it's good to have space in a relationship but he always answered his phone if you called. Especially if he was with Jaehyun, just so he could rub it in that he had a girlfriend when Jaehyun didn't.

"How about, I make it up to you tonight?" Johnny asked. "I'll get you anything you want to eat."

"Even if you don't like it?" You teased. Johnny smiled and nodded.

"Even if I don’t like it," he repeated.  You smiled as Johnny took your hand in his and began to walk with you to your first class with Sonia and Yuri laughing about God knows what in front of you. Again you had Mr Shigaraki so this ought to be a good class.

You took a seat next to Johnny and Yuri before looking back at Sonia who was turned to face you from the seat in front.

"Did you remember to finish the assignment from last class?" Sonia asked. "Mr Shigaraki said he wouldn't check it today right?" You saw a nervous look set in as she glanced at Yuri.

"Oh babe, he is checking it today." You replied as you checked your notebook and saw the first check date. A sigh left her lips as she covered her face.

"It's okay Sonia." You heard Johnny say, "Well you're already wearing a plaid skirt so why don't you just unbutton your top a little more and lean closer to Mr Shigaraki when he's talking to you about it?"

You scoffed at his comment. "Is that something you did to get extra credit in school?" You teased.

"Well if I was a girl and had nice tits - I would," Johnny said in a cocky tone. You laughed at his thinking before shaking your head.

"Just tell him you left your flashdrive home or that you'll email it." You offered her much better advice than your boyfriend.  You looked up as the door opened and saw Yuta and Jaehyun walking in together. Yuta smiled at you and took his seat.

"Good morning." You heard the sleepy voice of your Lecturer as he entered the classroom. He looked quite tired today. His dark hair tied back messily while the dark circles under his eyes were a bit more prominent. However, he didn't seem sad or angry, he seemed quite cheery.

"Today I'll just be checking your progress in the project so far." He added.

"I feel like I came to class for nothing." You heard Jaehyun groan as he leaned back in his seat. You glanced at Johnny and shrugged. Yuta then raised his hand.

"Mr Shigaraki, you look tired." He said, "Is that why we aren't doing anything?"

"Sure let's leave it at that." Mr Shigaraki said as he stood by his desk sorting through his papers.

"He probably got laid last night," Johnny said with a chuckle. Unfortunately, you were all seated close enough to the front of his class and your lovely professor heard it all.

"Mr Seo, I am this close to throwing you out of my class." Mr Shigaraki said without even bothering to look up. It was an empty threat because if that was the case, your boyfriend would have been thrown out of this course a long time ago.

"Shit." You heard your teacher mutter before looking back at the students. "Get your projects ready, I'll be right back." He said before picking up his cellphone and hurrying out of the classroom. There was some chatter in the room as he closed the door.

Buzz!

You felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. Turns out everyone's phone had gone off around the same time. You checked it and saw that it was a message from an unknown number containing a video. You looked back at Yuri and saw that she too was opening up a message.

You tapped the video and your screen went black. You could hear a bit of static before it showed a person sitting on the ground with a Ghostface mask on. It looked as if the video was shot in the night.

"What the fu.." You gasped as the camera shifted upwards and showed a body dangling from the branch of a tree. You saw the light brown hair and recognized the skirt that you bought for Somi on her birthday. The video then shifted to the ground of the driveway and you read the words out 'you're next.' softly under your breath.

You quickly came out of the video and placed your phone on the table. All the students had received the message. You heard their murmurs, the gasps of horror and the panic that the message caused. You looked at Johnny who was staring at the video playing on his phone.

"What the fuck is this?" Johnny asked. "Y/n, don't rewatch it." He said as he grabbed your phone and was about to delete the video.

"No, you can't delete," Yuri said. "This is evidence. If the police can trace these messages then we can find the killer."  

"Your video was different from ours," Sonia said. She turned off her phone and looked at you. 

"What do you mean?" You raised an eyebrow and moved closer to Johnny out of instinct.

"I mean, you put down your phone a couple of seconds after my video ended. " Sonia paused and faced you, "Then you said 'you're next.'"

"Babe, did you see something different in your video?" Johnny asked.

"I.. I don't know." You picked up your phone and got the video back before handing it to Johnny. You raised your hand to your mouth - unconsciously biting down on your nails. You saw Yuta stood up and leaned across to watch the video with Johnny.

A few seconds later Johnny placed your phone down.

"Now we know who the target is." Yuta joked only to receive a rough nudge from Johnny. You had to show this to the police.

"Ms Y/n." Detective Choi said as he placed your phone down on the table. "Looks like danger follows you."

"I guess so." You responded to his attempt to lighten up the mood. "Are you going to take my phone?" You asked. The older man shook his head.

"We had Officer Jeon forward the message and we'll take a look at it - however if you receive any more messages like this you have to notify us right away."

"I will." You reached forward and took your phone before putting it in your back pocket. "Does this mean I'm a target? Should I be scared?"

You saw the stressed expression on his dark eyes, he glanced back at Officer Jeon before looking at you.

"Yes. It is specific but- "

The words struck you hard. The trauma from your previous encounters with criminals haunting your memory. Flashbacks and the echoes of the screaming returning at that moment.

"Y/n." You heard his voice and snapped out of your head. "We will have an officer around you until the person is caught."  

"Thank you." You replied. "Is that all?"

"That's all we can do for now - we still have to interrogate more students before the day is over." Detective Choi said. He rubbed his temples before standing up.  You stood to your feet and headed towards the door.

"Detective Choi." You stopped and turned to face the taller man, "Do you think this is linked to what happened with Jimin?"

He let out a huff.

"I'm not sure, but the killer didn't just come at you so I assume it's not." Detective Choi held the door open for you, "Officer Kang would escort you home today so just wait for him in the parking lot."

"Oh okay." You thanked him for his time and left the room.  As you exited the doorway another student went into the room next. You turned to the side and saw Johnny sitting with some other classmates.

"Is everything alright?" He asked. You nodded and then proceeded in the direction of the classroom to rejoin your friends and finish up the lesson. However, you were doubtful of the fact that you could continue concentrating after what had happened.

There was some element of fear wedged into your body now, but it was subtle yet. No one had actively tried to hurt you so there wasn't any paranoia plus you were surrounded by people and police officers. There was no need to be afraid yet… right?

You walked down the hallway and stopped right before the doorway with Johnny. You gazed up at your handsome boyfriend, he flashed you a sweet smile before leaning down and kissing your forehead.

"I promise I'll protect you." He said softly. "Whoever is doing this won't get away with it."

"How are you so sure?" You questioned.

"Because now you have me." Johnny was always a confident guy, he knew his strengths and seized every opportunity to show them, especially when he was around you. "I'm all you need."  With that, you wrapped your arms around his waist and hugged him. That was until the door swung open and Yuri came out.

"Y/n." She said.

"Oh, Yuri." You said as you stepped back from Johnny and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear.

"Get a room."  She teased before nudging you and heading towards the bathroom.

Johnny's arms were wrapped around you as you sat comfortably on his lap. He rests his head on your shoulder as you eyed Yuri. She sat next to Jaehyun on the bench as Yuta sat with Sonia on the soft green grass. The air was nice and cool, perfect weather for a picnic and Yuri didn't want to pass up the opportunity. But to her dismay, the rest of the guys wanted to join you.

"How do you even gut someone?" You questioned. It was an out-of-the-blue statement but it had been haunting your mind for the longest while. There were a few seconds of silence. You exchanged awkward glances with each other before Yuta finally spoke up,

"You take a knife.." He paused, "And you slit the person open from groin to the sternum. Then you -"

A groan left your lips, regret consuming you as you gestured for him to stop. It was such a bad idea to ask this right after you had finished your lunch.

"You psycho," Yuri said as she raised her leg and attempted to push her brother back. Yuta dodged it and laughed.

"She asked." He glanced at you with his award-winning smile and winked. Almost immediately you felt Johnny's grip on your tighten. "Aww is someone jealous?"

"You don't even have a chance with someone like Y/n," Johnny said as he rubbed your thighs. You felt a blush rush to your cheek with his comment.

"You don't even deserve her," Yuri mumbled under her breath. It was just loud enough for you to hear, thankfully Johnny didn't.

"Are you still coming over to study by me tonight?" Sonia asked changing the topic. You nodded.

"Wait. You girls are having a study date?" Jaehyun asked as he glanced at Sonia, "Why didn't you invite me? I'd love to help you study." he moved his entire body, leaning closer to the younger girl.  You saw how flustered that suggestive comment made her and couldn't help but giggle.

"Would you leave her alone?" You said before leaning forward. "This is a girls-only event."

"Which is why we should be there," Johnny said as he gripped your hips pulling you back on his lap.  He gently massaged your hips, enjoying the feel of you on top of him.  

"Nice try but no." You replied. "Even Yuta said he was going to stay out." Your hands resting lightly over his.

"Come on - what if there is another break-in? Or worst yet, what if the same person who sent the message really comes for Y/n this time?" Jaehyun added.

"Why would you even bring this up?" Yuta questioned - looking up from his box of Thai food with his mouth half full. You swallowed hard and leaned back into Johnny's embrace, once with him you felt safe. You always had and there was nothing that could change that.

"Please, you've said worse while eating," Jaehyun argued back. He turned to look at you before continuing, "Besides, you of all people should know the police never arrives on time."

You gripped on to Johnny's jeans, your nails digging into the material as Jaehyun spoke. His passive-aggressive side leaking through and starting to agitate the shit out of you. He always did this when he couldn't get his way.

"The fuck Jae?" Johnny said as he shot a glare at the younger man.  However, Jaehyun seemed unbothered. You pushed yourself up from Johnny's lap and simply chose to walk away. "Wait," Johnny called out, he glanced at Jaehyun once more before chasing after you.  

You pushed open the door and entered the side of the building.

"Y/n!" His voice made your steps slower. Johnny reached out and took hold of your hand. "I'm sorry for what he said."

You let out a sigh, "I regret ever telling him." This was all you had to say. The fact that he brought this up now meant that nothing was off-limits for him.

The statement had an entire story behind it. When you were younger, there was a break-in at your home, you had a 15-year-old girl babysitting you, her name was Jimin and she was the best babysitter you had. However, when the break-in occurred and she barely managed to lock you safely in the closet in the bedroom where you were able to call the police.  You waited, hoping that they would arrive soon but they didn't. It wouldn't have bothered you if the thief had stolen some items and left. But the universe wasn't that kind. Turns out the thief wasn't just a thief. He was Kwon Hyuck, a young man who was part in cult initiation practice. That night Hyuck had murdered more than a dozen innocent people including Jimin.

By the time the police arrived, your babysitter was dead. You had witnessed the entire thing while in the closet. The way Kwon Hyuck grabbed her by the hair and stabbed her more times than you could count. While you were close to suffocation in the locked closet. You were told that Kwon Hyuck was caught but it was just a lie that they told the media.  You still get flashbacks of the sound of their screams and cries. Knowing that you could do nothing was the worst part.  

"I'll talk to him," Johnny replied. "You know how Jaehyun can be." His slender finger reaching up to touch the side of your face. How could someone so tough have a touch so gentle?  

"Maybe I did overreact." You admitted.

"No no no." Johnny cooed as he leaned closer to you, "You didn't. Come on, we can ditch them and get out of here."

"I have an afternoon class." Your features fell as you spoke. "And then we have to study at Sunny's."  There was no way you could miss the study session since Johnny had caused you to miss a couple of classes before.

"Well let me at least walk you to class." Johnny finally said. You agreed since it was a reasonable compromise.

"So there really is an officer parked on the sidewalk ?" Yuri asked. Currently, you both were at Sonia's apartment.  Her roommate left a while back so she was still looking for one. You nodded as both of you stared out the living room window and down at the car below. "He's there to protect you then?"

"Yeah, after that video earlier today.." You sighed before closing the curtains and walking back to the couch. "I feel a lot safer with him here honestly."

"I would too - I can't believe someone is sending stuff like this to students from our class," Yuri said. "Makes you wonder what the fuck is going on."

"I know right - and it brings back these bad memories from when I was little." You said. Only a few people knew this story. It didn't bother you until earlier today when Jaehyun used it against you.

"Sunny did you remember to order the Indian food?" Yuri shouted from the living room. You saw Sonia frown and walk into the living room before sitting on the floor by the low coffee table.

"Why must we eat Indian food? I've been eating authentic Indian food all my life." Sonia said. "I don't make you eat Sushi every time we come over by your place." You laughed at her comment, your fingers turning the page of your notebook as you sat on the couch.

"Can you two stop bickering for like two minutes?" You looked at your two best friends, at least they can still make you laugh even at a time like this. "We can try something new tonight."

"Like?" Yuri glanced at you and fixed her glasses, "I think we've ordered almost everything nearby."

"Why don't we just make something?" You suggested. There was a moment of silence, all three of you exchanging glances.

"That's not a bad idea," Yuri responded. "Providing we don't burn the apartment down like last time."

Flashbacks of the one time you three decided to make breakfast and the curtains by the kitchen window caught on fire. Luckily, you were able to put it out before things got worse.

"That's fine with me," Sonia added. And so you and your friends followed through with the plan and ended up making dinner - however, none of you was Ace Chefs so things ended up pretty messy. It was about 7:45 pm when you finally through with your iron chef project and had a nice smelling meal prepared.

"Ugh, now I have to shower - again," Sonia said as she looked down at her outfit which was covered in flour and spicy Thai sauce. "How is it that neither of you got your clothes dirty?" She asked.

"I don't even know." You commented before washing up your hands. "Go shower and we'll eat when you're done."

"Nah don't wait up, you guys must be starving," Sonia responded as she waved you off and headed for the shower in her apartment.

You and Yuri were just about to eat when you heard a noise coming from the front door. It sounded like someone was scratching at the door. Nails dragging against the material and the sound was very much unpleasant. It was as if someone was craving something on the door. You looked at Yuri who shook her head.

"No no no no no." Yuri rambled, "I am not going to answer the door and I am not going to die." She stated as she continued to eat.  You frowned and looked at the door, the noise stopped.  

"Thank Go.." You were interrupted mid-sentence by the sound of something falling down the hallway. But that's impossible - Sonia said all the windows were locked and she was in the shower. "Sunny!" You called out. "Are you okay?"

There was no response. But then again, how could she hear you if the shower was on and she was probably pulling the high note to some Lana Del Rey song.

"Make sure the door is locked," Yuri said as she walked towards the window by the kitchen. She peered out and then closed it before turning to you. You were already by the front door locking the chain.  That's when you heard a glass being broken in Sonia's bedroom.

"Not today Satan," Yuri said as she took out her phone and dialled Yuta's number. You did the same - except this time you were calling Johnny.

Neither of them answered.

"We should go get Sunny." You said.

"But what if … someone's there?" Yuri asked.

"We can't let her die." You stated. Before either of you could make a move your phone beeped. You took it out, thinking it was Johnny and saw that you had a Snapchat message from 'Ghostface'. But you didn't remember adding this person.  You looked at Yuri and gestured for her to come over. She clutched a kitchen knife and stood next to you as you opened up the message.

It was a picture taken inside a bathroom with the text 'S for Sunny? More like S for Slut '. But not just any bathroom, you could recognize the tubes of mehndi dye next to the sink.

"Sunny." You gasped. Yuri's grip on the knife tightened as she looked at the picture. "It can't be."

Ghostface sent you a snap!

You looked back at Yuri - part of you didn't want to open it, and so she did instead. A picture of Sonia's silhouette in the bathroom appeared on your screen with the text, 'I wonder who she's fucking'.

"Sunny!" Yuri screamed and without hesitation, she dashed to the bathroom. You hot on her trail. Yuri gripped the bathroom door and tried to open it but it was locked. "Sonia!" You both banged against the bathroom door.

Slowly the door was pulled open to reveal a startled Sonia in her short, pink bathrobe.

"What's wr -" You stopped and looked at Sonia, she froze, her mouth slightly opened as her dark brown eyes widened. You glanced behind you and saw a figure in Sonia's room, the person was tall and donned in a black outfit with a Ghostface mask. In one hand was a knife and the other had a cellphone. There was a second gap before you felt Sonia pull both of you in the shower and closed the door. She locked it and stepped back.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The person violently rammed something against the door.   With each loud noise, your heart pounded equally loud. You stumbled back until your back hit the cold tiled wall.  

"This can't be happening." You mumbled as you fished out your phone and dialled officer Kang's number while Yuri and Sonia were trying to push a shelf in front of the door.

"We need to find a way out." You said as you held the phone to your ear.  Sonia nodded and pointed up to the window. It was sealed shut and not too big but it was the only way out of the bathroom. You finally connected with him, "Someone is trying to kill us and I - "

Just then the power completely cut off. You were left in darkness, nothing could be heard except the sound of each other's heavy breathing. You moved the phone from your ear and saw that the call was still going - yet you couldn't hear the other person on the line.

"Stay still, just tell him to get his ass up here before we die," Yuri whispered to you. You did as she suggested but before you could get a full sentence in the line cut.

The call dropped.

There was silence in the apartment. You could barely see Yuri and Sonia but you knew they were in the bathroom with you. Thankfully, the small window allowed light to come through.

"Break the window." You said as you looked around the bathroom with the other two, in an attempt to find something solid. You paused once your phone lit up.

Ghostface is typing!

You looked down at your phone and showed it to your friends.

'Read it.' Yuri mouthed. Hesitation took over as you slowly touched the screen and was transported to the conversation. It was a voice message, you turned on the volume and pressed play.

"Aw Y/n, do you really think you can escape?" there was a sinister chuckle, "Let's see how long it take before the police get here - you of all people should know they never make it in time."  Your eyes widened as you covered your mouth. The same suffocating feeling returning from when you were little. Your eyes widened as you back up against the wall. You needed to get out.

Bang! Bang!

Just then there was another bang on the door and the lights came back on. Your heart skipped a beat as you looked back at Sonia. Sonia picked up the cover of the toilet and gestured for you to step back. She wasn't the strongest but you were shocked at her spontaneous actions. She rammed the ceramic cover through the window breaking the glass in the process. The sound of the glass shattering caused you to panic as you grabbed one of her towels stored up and cleared away the shards of broken glass.

Bang! Bang!

"Quick, climb out," Sonia said as she nudged you both to go first.  

You grabbed Yuri and allowed her to climb out first. She was the fastest one and would be able to get down from the fourth floor and get help the quickest.

"Go down, " You called out to her. You looked down as Yuri gripped the steel ladder and carefully climbed down when she was a good distance down you turned back to Sonia, "Your turn."

"No, you go," Sonia said.

Bang! Bang!

"Go .. the killer wants you," Sonia said as she pushed against the shelf blocking the door. "Go first please."

You were reluctant as you saw the smaller girl trying her best to save you.

"Go!" Sonia yelled.

You nodded and climbed out of the window as fast as you could. Yuri was almost halfway down already so you started to climb down. With each movement, you heard a creak coming from the already old ladder. It didn't seem like a strong escape ladder at all. At any moment it could break and you were right. Five rusted metal wrungs down, you moved your leg down only to have the ladder wrung break from right under you.

You gasped, your grip on the ladder tightened as you tried not to look down. Your heart almost jumping out of your mouth.

"Y/n!" You heard Yuri's voice calling out to you. "Are you okay?"

"It broke." You cried back. Your arms ached as you held onto the ladder, you were unsure if your body weight would be supported on it now.

"Y/n." You looked up and saw Sonia looking out the window. "Hurry down." She cried out, "he's com -"

Those were the last words you heard from her before she was grabbed by someone.

"Sunny!" You screamed. You recalled the sequence of events that occurred the night Jimin was with you and how you were helpless - you couldn't save her but now… now you had the chance to do something about it. You had the opportunity to redeem yourself and be the hero. Even if it meant giving up something.

You were closer to her apartment than to the ground. At that moment your heart took over and without wasting a second you climbed back up and made it just in time to see Sonia struggling against the masked person. She was pinned to the floor, the masked man straddled her as he held the knife and grazed the skin. You heard her crying out in pain as her skin was cut open. You assumed the worst, this pervert taking advantage of your friend - not when you could do something about it.

"Leave her alone!" You yelled. A rush of adrenaline pulsing through your veins as you grabbed the picture on the wall and smashed it against the back of the masked man. He stopped, his grip on Sonia loosened as he slowly turned to face you. You had no weapons but he had a knife.

He lunged forward and grabbed you by your t-shirt. You pushed back at him but received a gnash to your forearm. The cut stung like hell. You winced at the pain and tried to dodge him but he grabbed you by the hair and violently pushed you down. You tripped by the shower and landed on the hard floor. The masked man cocked his head to the side as he stalked towards you. Your heart raced as you tried to come up with a plan - but nothing.. nothing was coming to mind.

"Why are you doing this?" You cried.

Just then the man stopped. You glanced to the side and saw Sonia had just hit the man with something. At that moment, your saving grace came. You heard the sounds of sirens. The police had finally come.

"Looks like you're out of time." You managed to say. The masked figure turned to you and then Sonia before dashing out of the room. Sonia immediately fell to the floor next to you.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she took a look at your arm. It was sliced and the warm blood was pooling out from it. You couldn’t even look at it.  "Uh.. hold on." You shut your eyes tightly as Sonia tried to clean the cut neglecting her wounds.

Bang!

The door was kicked open scaring the shit out of you both.

"Y/n!" Yuri called out as she rushed inside the bathroom. "Sunny!"

You looked up as officer Kang and Yuri came in the room. He looked around before spotting you two. He leaned closer to his walkie-talkie and spoke,

"Officer Kang here, requesting for medical assistance."  He stepped closer to you and added, "Don't worry you're safe now."

"Did you catch him?" You spoke up.

"The person's still here?" Officer Kang asked.

"He just ... " Before you could finish you saw him rush out of the room. You glanced back at Sonia and her arm - curious as to what the person had done.

"SLUT." The word was carved onto her tan skin and red with blood still. "Why the hell would the person write this on your arm?" Yuri asked as she took hold of Sonia's arm. Sonia winced in pain as also looked down at it.  

"I.. I don't know," Sonia said in a soft voice. She always did that when she was lying. You glanced back at her before looking at Yuri. Sonia never dated before, she trusted you and Yuri with that secret.

"Sunny, if something is going on - you need to tell us." You said. There was a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach - you knew something unorthodox was occurring but the pieces were still missing. Unfortunately, you didn't have much time to talk since you received another message on your phone. With the hand that wasn’t hurt you fished it out clumsily.

Ghostface sent you a snap!

"You have to open it." Yuri said, "Whatever it is - screenshot it."  You handed her the phone since she would be better able to do it. When the message had been opened an image filled up the screen.

"What is it?" Sonia asked as she leaned forward. Yuri gasped and turned the phone to you, it was a picture taken of Jaehyun with the words, 'next?'.

"What was on the Snapchat message?"  Detective Choi asked.   You shuffled in the cold steel chair.  The light was just a little too bright for your liking and the room below a reasonable temperature.  "Just tell us what you could remember."

"It was pictures of Sunny's bathroom."  You began,  your eyes diverting from the older man. "Something relating to her being a slut."  

You heard the stressed movements of the detective.  

"But she's not."  You defended her, "She hasn't even dated before."  

"How are you so sure about that?" Detective Choi questioned.  Your lips parted but no words came out.  "Trust."  The detective said, "Be careful of the people you trust."  

His words instilled a certain amount of fear into you.  You never considered yourself as naïve but now you were tasting a bit of doubt.  

"You told me earlier that you thought the person sending you these messages were Mr Jung  Jaehyun. Why is that?"  The detective asked.  

"Because the killer said the same thing that Jaehyun told me earlier today."  Your words were short and simple.  You didn't have the energy to explain further.  

"But now he's the next target?"  He asked.  You nodded.  

Ten more minutes were spent in the room as you spoke to the detective before you were finally able to leave.  You walked out of the room, hand bandaged up from the slashes and bruises scattered on your face. Further in the hallway Yuri sat with a blanket clutched in her fingers. Sonia shifted uncomfortably pulling at the bathrobe she was still in.    

“Are you both okay?”  You asked.  Yuri’s watery eyes looked up at you before shaking her head. 

“Are you?” Sonia asked.  

“I have no idea.”  You blurted out before flopping down between your best friends.  “I.. “ You couldn’t form words so you remained silent.  The low hum of the vents echoed in your head as the other officers paced around.  It was 9pm. You were tired, hungry and nervous. 

“Yuri!” Yuta’s voice broke the silence between you all.  Yuri pushed herself off the chair and ran into her older brother’s arms.  

“Onii-chan.” Yuri’s voice cracked as she held on to her brother’s shirt.  Yuta hugged her tightly in his arms. 

“ごめんなさい.” [I’m sorry]  Yuta kept mumbling.  You could only imagine how he was feeling after not answering his sister’s phone calls. 

“Y/n.”  You turned around and saw Johnny running towards you. “Are you okay?”  He stopped mere centimetres away from you, his hand cupping your fac before pulling you into a hug. 

“I think so.”  You said as you melted into his embrace.  

“You got hurt?  God, you’re so brave.” Johnny said as he stroked your hair gently.  Your arms around his waist feeling his warmth.  Finally, you felt safe. There were a few seconds of silence before Johnny spoke up again, “I think you should stay with me from now.”

“It’s okay, I have the officers..” You began.

“Because the officer was so helpful this time,” Johnny replied sarcastically. “Just let me take care of you.” He paused as you pulled away slowly from your boyfriend. “I’ll protect you.”

You looked up at him, it was not uncommon for you to stay at his place, and right now having someone as strong as Johnny would be ideal.  This was too good an offer to turn down.  

“Are you sure Jaehyun wouldn’t mind?”  You teased.  

“Nah, you’ll be sleeping in my room,”  Johnny said with a sly grin. 

You glanced away from Johnny and saw Jaehyun walking towards you all. His eyes had dark circles under it and his body seemed tired and weaker. 

“Is he okay?”  You asked Johnny.  

“I’m fine, just realised I'm on the hit list.”  He said nonchalantly.  His gaze went over to Yuri, Yuta and lingered on Sonia.  

“Where are you all going to stay tonight?”  Jaehyun asked. 

“Yuri’s staying with me,” Yuta said. 

“I’m staying with Johnny.”  You added before looking back at Sonia. 

“Uh I have to leave,  my friend is here.”  She spoke quickly before getting off her seat. She gave you and Yuri quick hugs, ignoring Jaehyun’s open arms and ducking away. “Sorry. I’ll call you guys tomorrow.”  

“Sunny?”  You eyed her as she dashed out of the building in her bathrobe.  Through the window, you saw Sonia stop by the sidewalk as a car pulled up.  It was a black car and you didn’t recognize it.  However, you noticed how hesitantly she got into the vehicle and left. 

You awoke the next morning in the arms of Johnny which made it difficult to move. But you were safe so that didn't matter right?

The sunlight shone through the windows and everything was silent.  At that moment you completely forgot about the sequence of events that unfolded last night.   But then your phone vibrated and it all came flooding back.  You sat up quickly and looked around the room.  Only Johnny was there laying with his eyes closed and chest bare.  You reached over for your cellphone and checked it. There was a message from Yuri.

'hey, hope you're okay.  I'm getting breakfast at genie café so if you're free just meet me there at 8.'

You looked back at the time and was surprised to see that it was in fact only 6:30am.  How on earth you managed to wake up this time was a mystery but you were lucky since you now had enough time to get dressed.  

You slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom where you cleaned up and got dressed.  Once you were finished you stepped out of Johnny's room and headed towards the kitchen area.  There you saw Jaehyun sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand.

"Morning."  You said.

"Morning." He mumbled without even looking at you.  "Is Johnny awake?"  

"Not yet."  You replied before walking towards the window and looking out.  The police car was parked right outside and you knew that two officers were still in there.  You glanced behind you and saw Jaehyun walking right inside Johnny's room before closing the door.  That's odd.

There was the muffled sound of both male voices before the door swung open and Jaehyun came out he glanced at you before walking towards the door.

"An entire night passed and I'm still alive."  he said with a smirk, "looks like I'm not on the killer's hit list huh?"  He winked at you before leaving the apartment.  A sigh left your lips.  Something didn't sit right with you.  The entire night was a little too peaceful and serene.  Maybe you were wrong?  

"Babe."  Johnny's voice made you look up.  You saw him leaning against the doorframe with his PJ pants hanging low on his hips.  A faint blush crept up on your face as you looked away. "Where are you going?"  he asked.

"Yuri - I'm going to meet Yuri for breakfast."  You said. "Are you coming?"  

"Sure give me five minutes."  He said before heading back to get dressed.

Surely enough, Johnny had finished getting dressed and you both were off to the café.  When you arrived you saw Yuri sitting with Sonia and Yuta in one of the tables closer to the back.  You made your way over to them with Johnny right behind you.

"Hi." You said with a smile before sitting next to Yuri.  

"Hey, anything happened last night?"  Yuri asked.  

"Nope, I slept well and everything was oddly quiet."  You said before looking down at the menu. Everything on it looked so good to eat but you had to narrow it down.  You glanced up at Sonia, "By the way, where did you go last night?"  

"Me?"  Sonia asked.

"Yeah you."' You teased, "Yuri stayed with Yuta and me, Johnny and Jae stayed at their apartment."  Sonia shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

"Just with someone."  She said softly.  As if that wasn't suspicious at all.  You quirked an eyebrow at her before looking back at a table not too far from you. There was officer Kang and Officer Jeon sitting having breakfast nearby.  

"Are you going to tell us who you were with?”  You asked.  

“Well...  I..”  Sonia didn’t even have time to explain herself when you received an email from the university. Well, all of you did.  You took a couple seconds to skim through the email, turns out the classes were cancelled for the rest of the week.  The cause was unknown but simply put as a grievance.  You glanced at the two officers nearby.  One of them on their cell phone with a grave expression plaster on their face. 

“Something’s not right,” Yuri said. A sudden wave of anxiety crashed over you as you stood up only to have your phone buzz.

Ghostface sent you a Snap. 

You opened up the Snap and gasped at the image that appeared on the screen. It was a picture of Jaehyun. There was a rope tied around his neck while his hands tied behind his back.  The tip of his feet brushing against a stool, barely able to support his weight.  One bad move and the stool could topple over allowing him to hang himself. You noticed the blood staining his shirt and the temple of his head.

You quickly screenshotted the picture.  You were about to show it when you got another message. 

‘don’t tell the cops princess. better come alone or the pretty boy dies.’

“Y/n what’s wrong?” ‘ You looked up and saw all your friends looking at you intently. “It’s him ..isn’t it?”  Johnny said. “He’s been sending you messages too.”  

“You mean Ghostface?”  Sonia asked. Her tan face going almost pale. 

You nodded.  Was Johnny getting the same messages as you? Were all your friends receiving these messages? 

“We’ve all been getting them?”  Yuta asked. “He’s been sending us pictures and messages and videos.”  

“Why didn’t no one mention this before?” You asked in a panic. 

“Why didn’t you say anything?”  Yuri asked.  

“It’s only been happening for two days - I..”  You stopped speaking before glancing back at your phone, “We need to get out of here and find Jaehyun.” 

“What happened to him?” Johnny asked. You went back to the screenshot of the picture and showed it to him. 

“If the police come with us he dies.” You blurted out.

“That means we’re going to have to distract them while someone goes to find him,”  Sonia said.  You nodded. 

“I’ll do it,” Yuri said. “Go save him.”

“I’ll stay with her,” Yuta replied.  

It was a solid enough plan in the spur of the moment and with your friend’s help you Johnny and Sonia were able to sneak out. Sonia examined the picture she looked back at you. 

“Its at school.” Sonia said, “This is in the utility room in the basement.”  

“How’d you know?”  Johnny asked as he gripped the steering wheel and sped up. You saw a light blush on her face. 

“I had to help carry some stuff back in there once,” Sonia said.  

She was hiding something. You knew it. There wasn’t much time to question her because you’d already arrived at the back entrance of the school. Without wasting a second you bolted out of the car followed by Johnny and Sonia.  The back entrance to the basement was locked - yet Sonia knew where the keys were. That was unusual.  

You were about to step into the building when your phone buzzed.  You slipped it out of your pocket and saw another message from Ghostface. It was a video of Jaehyun dangling from the ceiling, his panicked scream ringing through the speaker in your phone. 

‘You brought some company and broke a rule? such a pity you won’t be able to save him in time.’ 

Your eyes widened at the message. Your hand reaching forward to grip Johnny’s shirt. 

“Johnny.”  You showed him the message before turning to Sonia, “we have to get there now Sunny.”  

She nodded and raced down the steep staircase.  As she stopped at the last step she flicked on the lights and pointed to a door. 

“In there is where the video was taken.”  She said. “What if he’s in there.” 

“We have to save Jae.”  You said before grabbing an old piece of pipe from nearby. Johnny looked around and did the same before walking towards the door.  He gripped the doorknob and slowly turned it. The door creaked as it opened slowly. Johnny looked inside first before quickly pulling the door close and blocking the way.  

“Johnny we have to..”  You stopped speaking when you looked up and saw his eyes. You gasped and tried to push Johnny away. 

“Y/n no,”  Johnny said as he grabbed your wrists and pulled you into him. “Don’t look. Don’t look inside.”   He pulled you away, holding your body back as you fought against him.  

“We could still try to save him.”  You cried out, your gaze blurred by the tears you didn’t even realise you were crying. “Sunny, please tell me we can save him.”  You looked on as Sunny carefully opened the door.  She gazed at the person in the room before covering her mouth.  

“We can’t.”  She said.  Her body giving up on her as she stooped to the ground and covered her face. You had to see what was in the room but Johnny wouldn’t let you.  He held you close as you tried to pull away. 

“Let me go.”  You cried out.  “I need to save ..”

“No Y/n you can’t - he’s dead.” Sonia cried out. “You can’t fucking save everyone.” With that Sonia got up from the ground and raced back up the staircase.  With Johnny momentarily distracted you seized the opportunity to pull yourself out of his grasp and raced to the door.  You yanked it open to see Jaehyun’s lifeless corpse hanging from the ceiling. His clothes all bloodied up and ripped from puncture wounds. You covered your mouth and shut the door.  

“Ahh!”  A scream brought you out of your thoughts.  It was Sonia.  Johnny took you by your arm and pulled you with him up the staircase.  As you came to the door you saw Sonia leaning against the wall and Mr Shigaraki speaking with her.  

“Sunny?”  You called out as you rubbed your reddened eyes. 

“Sorry for screaming, Sou - Mr Shigaraki just startled me.” She said.

“I heard you found a dead body.”  He said, his eyes dark as ever and almost expressionless. 

“Yeah, it's downstairs in the utility room,”  Johnny said. Mr Shigaraki didn’t seem to believe the story so Johnny went back down with him, leaving you and Sonia.  

What the hell was your teacher doing here? Why did Sonia really scream?  How did she know about this place? Was she somehow responsible for all of this?

You were curled up in Johnny’s bed,  your phone hidden in a drawer - you couldn’t even look at it.  All that was running through your mind was Jaehyun’s dead body. The way it hung limply from the rope. It happened a day ago but that wasn’t the only body the police found.  Apparently earlier that day, they found Vice-Principal Park’s body stabbed seven times in his office. Yet the murder weapon was missing. 

Knock! Knock!

“It’s me, Yuri.”  Your friend’s soft voice caused you to lookup.  She entered the room holding a warm cup of tea. “How are you feeling?” She asked.

You glanced at her and shook your head.

“It has been a while and you still  haven’t left the room.” Yuri sat beside you and placed the teacup on the counter. 

“Have the messages stopped?”  You asked bluntly. 

“For me? Yes.”  Yuri said. “No one has mentioned anything else either.”   You wanted to feel at ease but something didn’t sit right with you. For the past few days, you left your phone in the drawer.  After Jaehyun died the apartment felt empty yet you stayed with Johnny because with him - you didn’t feel so alone. 

“Go out with me tonight.” Yuri suddenly said. “Don’t let this horrible person keep you from living your life.”  

“It's not that easy Yuri.”  You said, “What if someone else dies tonight?”

“No one has died for the past few days,  maybe the killer is done?” Yuri mused. “You can’t live this way Y/n.”

“I can and I will.”  That wasn’t what you want to say to her. 

“I was just trying to help,”  Yuri said.  She leaned forward and gave you a small hug before pulling away.  “You’re my best friend, I love you but you can’t stay inside forever.”

“I know.” You said softly, “But maybe just for two more days?”  

Yuri cracked a smile, her pretty eyes lighting up before speaking,

“Two more days.”  Yuri stood up from the bed and stretched, “I’m going over by Kelly’s house with Sonia and Yuta. Call me if anything happens.” 

“I will.”  You replied.  Yuri straightened her jacket before leaving the room. Once again you were left in silence.  Johnny was probably outside on the couch watching some lame 80s movie while you stayed inside. 

Almost three hours had passed when Johnny came inside the room with his phone to his ear.

“Yuri’s on the phone for you.” He said before handing you his cell phone.  Reluctantly you reached up and answered the call.

“Hello Y/n.” A male voice spoke up.  Your eyes widened as you looked at Johnny. He raised an eyebrow and you quickly put the phone on speaker. 

“Who is this?”  You asked.  Your tone laced with fear. 

“Who do you think Princess?”  He let out a soft chuckle.  The smooth, deep voice of the man almost arousing if you knew who the hell it was. “Do you wanna play a game?”  

“No, now stop this right now before I call the police.” You threat merely bounced off the male as he spoke.

“Wrong answer.”  He said. Johnny was about to grab the phone when you held out your hand to stop him.

“What the hell do you want?” You asked through gritted teeth.  

“The question is who do you want?”  He paused, “Who do you want to be left alive that is. You have to pick.”

“What do you mean?” Your voice cracking a bit as you stood up and began to pace back and forth. 

“I mean, would you prefer I stab pretty, little, lesbian Yuri twelve times or gut Sonia like the dirty whore she is?”

You gasped at his statement.     

“Chose carefully. Because the blood on your hands just seems to be increasing.” The person said, “Can you handle all that red?” 

“Listen Asshole - “ The line cut just as you were about to speak. You let out a frustrated groan before grabbing your pillow and hitting it against your side of the bed repeatedly.  Anger, pain, confusion all bubbling up within you and you felt hopeless - as if you couldn’t do anything at all.  

“Y/n stop,” Johnny said as he grabbed you by the waist. He pulled you closer to him, enveloping you in a hug so that you wouldn’t hurt yourself. “Shhh.”  He cooed in an attempt to stop you from crying. 

“I don’t want to do this anymore.”  You admitted. 

“I know princess.” Johnny said as he held you, “But we have to do something.” 

Johnny was right.  You couldn’t just not play this psycho’s sick game. If you don’t do as he said then people will die. You have seen it happen. With Jaehyun, Ghostface told you to come alone - yet you brought Johnny and Sonia. That resulted in Jaehyun dying.  If only you had listened.  The guilt that came from this experience brought about so much discomfort. 

Buzz! Buzz!

It was your phone.  You sat on the bed as Johnny picked up the phone from the drawer and gave it to you.

Ghostface sent you a message!

You tapped the notification and saw two pictures in the chatbox. One was with Yuri and her girlfriend while the other was with Sonia on her phone.

Ghostface is typing ...

‘Choose who dies.’

You covered your mouth before typing back.

‘Don’t fucking hurt either of them.’ 

“Johnny we need to go now.”  You said showing him the conversation.  Johnny didn’t hold you back. Instead, he nodded and followed you out.

You arrived at the party, heart racing as you pushed through the crowd. The entire place smelled like sweat and alcohol. Considering the fact you hadn’t eaten - this made you feel sick. 

“Go find Sunny, I’ll look for Yuri.”  You told your boyfriend.  Johnny nodded and split from you.  Your body trembling as you looked around the living room where people were dancing.  She wasn’t there.  You ran up the staircase and coincidentally into Kelly.  

“Where’s Yuri?”  You asked.

“I left her in the last room - she had a phone call so I - “ 

“Thank you.”  You said before quickly running past her and heading straight towards the door. Your phone buzzed again with a new message from Ghostface.

‘Have you chosen yet? if not I’ll choose for you.’

‘Please don’t hurt them.’  You texted back.  Your hand gripped the door that separated you from Yuri and pulled it open.  

“Stop!” You screamed.  A clothed figure wearing the Ghostface mask gripped Yuri - knife pointed to her neck.  “No!”

“Y/n Run!” Yuri yelled. 

“I can’t leave you.” You cried. “Please don’t hurt her.”  

The person didn’t speak instead they lowered the knife and pointed it at you. 

“Please let her go.”  Your voice was weak and barely audible over the sound of the music downstairs.  

“I love y-” Before Yuri could finish speaking the clothed figure pressed the knife against her throat and sliced it. Your jaw dropped as you saw the crimson blood dripping down her pale skin.  

“You fucker! You !” You screamed as you fell to the ground.  Your best friend was killed right in front of you.  Murdered by some psycho.  Ghostface dropped Yuri’s body on the ground and then charged towards you.  You attempted to move but he pushed you away and ran.   

You raced towards Yuri with tears in your eyes. 

“I’m sorry.” You cried. “I love you too.”  You sobbed.  

“Y/n!” Sonia’s exclaimed.  You glanced at her before looking back at Yuri’s dead body. She came just as Ghostface left. 

“Yuri’s gone.” 

“It’s your fault.”  You said out of a mix of negative emotions. It was 9pm the next night and you had met with Sonia to talk about Yuri’s death. It came as a shock and neither of you could speak to each other.  You had tried to mend things but so far it wasn’t going well. 

"Why would you think it's me?"  Sonia asked.  You saw her features fell as you accused her of being the killer.

"When we got attacked at your apartment,  instead of running out and getting help you pulled us in the bathroom and locked it."

"It was a spur of the moment idea - I was flustered."  She backed herself up.

"What about after?  Why didn't the killer get you?  The killer didn't rip your body open - they just cut you lightly. What was that about?" You questioned.

"I.. I don't know- you're the one who came back in time."  She was at a loss for words.  You saw her try and string words together to attempt to throw the blame off herself but it was useless. The signs pointed to her. She was the bad guy and you had the evidence to prove it.

"You allowed Yuri to go to a party that night - you know how reckless she can be and now Jaehyun and Yuri are dead."  You fumed.  You stood up as anger bubbled up inside you.  "If Yuri didn't come here - I'm sure they would have been alive."  

"That's not my fault - they could have stayed home."  Sonia almost yelled back at you.  It was the first time you had ever seen her get violent or angry in an argument.  "Why do you think it's me? None of what you said is proof." She added.

"Then where were you when Somi died?  How did you know where Jaehyun died?"  You asked.  Tears pooling at your eyes as you yelled at your best friend.  Days of pent up frustration and anxiety finally finding an outlet.   Your entire body shook with adrenaline as you spoke.

"I can't tell you!" Sonia yelled.  Her voice echoed in the room  It was only you and her standing there in the car park- a couple of cars in the distance.  Johnny should have been here by now to pick you up.  But he wasn't.

You stepped back from your once best friend, "Yuri's dead but you were left alive."  You added. That was the first blow.  "Maybe your serial killer obsessed mind snapped, but I don't feel safe around you anymore."  You picked up your bag and stepped back.

"But I didn’t do it - I have nothing to do with anything that's going on,"  Sonia said, her eyes tearing up. "You have to believe me."

"How can I?" You argued back.

"I'm your best friend … I mean I am, right?" Sonia asked. There were a few seconds of silence before she spoke again. "How am I so sure you aren’t the killer?"  

You gasped, all of this was happening to you. You were the target. "Why on earth would I target myself?"  You spat. "It should've been you instead."  That was the second blow. The words flew out your mouth without a single thought - you couldn't believe you told her something like this.

"You wished I was killed instead of Yuri."  Her voice broke as she grabbed her bag and ran. You had just delivered the final blow.

"Sunny!" You called out. But it was too late, if she was the killer, you were dead meat.  But if there was a small chance that she wasn't the killer then you had just made a big mistake. You felt pain in the pit of your stomach, your body had been on overdrive for the past few days and it felt as if only sorrow followed.

You were about to chase after her when you heard a car pull up.

"Y/n."  Johnny's voice called out. "What's going on?"  He pushed open the car door and came out to meet you.  You pressed your palms flat against your face, confusion ripping you apart as you let out a frustrated groan.  

'beep beep.'

You phone buzzed. You didn't want to talk to anyone, especially not to whoever the fuck was taunting you.  This Ghostface person needed to stop.

'beep beep.'

Your phone went off again. Reluctantly you took out your phone and saw a text message from Ghostface.  

'you already lost one friend y/n. are you sure you're ready to lose another?'

You gripped your phone tighter.  Not allowing Johnny to see the message.

"We need to find Sunny now."  You stated.  

"What? Why?" Johnny asked. "We can just tell Officer Kang."

"Because they handled the situations so well."  You replied sarcastically.  You saw Johnny scoff before getting in the car.  You followed him and slammed the car door.

Meanwhile

Sonia ran from the parking lot and headed straight to the university library. While nearing the corner she was grabbed by someone a lot bigger.  Hands wrapping around her petite frame as they yanked her behind the building. A gasp escaped her lips right before a hand came around and covered her mouth.  her dark brown eyes widened as she struggled against the person's grip.

"Shhh."  The voice was a familiar one, "Sunshine,  it's me."   His grip on the younger girl loosened as he turned her around to face him.

"Mr Shigaraki,"  Sonia said as she pushed his hand away from her.  "What are you doing? I told you we need to stop this."

"Shh...  it's okay."  Mr Shigaraki said as he gently stroked the side of her face.  "No one would find out about this my darling."  He took a step closer to her causing her to back up against the wall. "We've been doing this for almost a year now and still no one has a clue."

"Mr Shigaraki - I can't.. too much is going on, someone carved 'slut' on my body and Y/n thinks I'm the killer…" Sonia rambled off before she was cut off by her professor.

"But you're not, you were with me the night it happened." Mr Shigaraki stated. His hand gently stroking her soft black hair. She pushed it away before crossing her arms over her chest.  

"But we can't tell anyone that - and the time of death for the murders..  we weren't even together for all of them,"  Sonia replied. "I'm going home."  

"Why don't you stay with me tonight?"  Mr Shigaraki reached out and grabbed her wrists pulling her back to him. "I'll keep you safe from this killer."

Sonia stopped and looked back at him,  his dark hair pulled up and tied neatly. His slight stubble accentuating his jaw while he wore a black shirt.  Truly he was a sight to behold, something about him just drove her crazy. Maybe it was his maturity, maybe his charm,  maybe the danger behind it all.  Either way, he was the cat and she was the mouse.

"I... "

"Come on sunshine, just one more night."  Mr Shigaraki said as he leaned down and pressed a kiss against her forehead. "Or do you want all the other students to know about the dirty things you do for me?"

"Is this a threat?"  Sonia asked as she pushed him back. But her size was nothing compared to his and he quickly grabbed her arms, holding them down.

"Not a threat, just a …  though you should consider it."  The professor teased.  

You kept calling Sonia but there was no answer.  This was the third time as you sat in the car with Johnny.

"Let's just drive around, I'm sure we'll fin…"

"Y/n," Johnny said as he pointed to the corner. You looked up and saw Sonia she was being pulled by someone but you couldn't quite see who it was until Johnny spoke up, "That's Mr Shigaraki."  

"What the fuck?" You said as you saw the scene unfold,  was this why your friend was going missing and never calling you? Was this why she didn't want to tell you about?

"She's fucking him,"  Johnny said bluntly. That's when it clicked - why she would stay back in class a little longer. Why she would never answer her phone at times.  Why 'slut' was carved on her skin.  Why you would always have to call before coming over to her place.  

"If the killer is going to target her next then don't you think she'd be safer with someone like Mr Shigaraki?"  Johnny said.  You nodded and looked at the scene unfold - only to come to a pause and glance back at your boyfriend.  You didn't remember saying anything about Sonia being the next target.

"How'd you know the killer was going to target her next?"  You said. Johnny cleared his throat before looking back at you.

"You told me before we got in the car."  He stated. That was a lie -  you never mentioned it. All you said was that you needed to find Sonia. You shifted in your seat and eyed Johnny once more.  You never suspected him, because he was your boyfriend- he was supposed to be there to love and protect you and that's what he did.

"Oh..  well I think we should tell the police or something."  You said as you took out your phone and called the detective. Johnny remained quiet in his seat as he kept watch over whatever Sonia and Mr Shigaraki was doing.  

"Detective Choi, Sonia's next." You said.

"How do you know?  Where is she?" Detective Choi shot a relay of questions.

"I got the text, but she won't answer the phone and I think she's leaving with Mr Shigaraki …"

"Your lecturer?" Detective Choi asked.

"Y..yeah."  You replied softly.

"Do you know where they are headed?"  He asked.

"Maybe to her place or his?"  You said unsure.

"Alright, stay put we'll get on this right away."  The Detective said, “Mr Shigaraki has been one of our suspects from the beginning.” 

“He has?” You asked as you looked back at Johnny. 

“Mr Shigaraki was accused of being in a relationship with a minor before he started to work at the university so he has a record.”  Detective Choi paused, “We just got the results back from the DNA sample on Jaehyun and the Vice Principal - it was a match to him.” 

“He’s the killer?”  You asked. It would all make sense, at the beginning the messages would only come when Mr Shigaraki wasn’t in class. He was also there at school when you found Jaehyun’s body.  Not to mention the fact that you swore you saw him at the party yesterday. This could explain why Sonia was never killed either. 

“We’re not sure but we’re going to search his apartment now.” With that, the Detective ended the call. You were scared for your friend but also relieved that the cops were on the case.

"Now the cops would take care of this and we don't have to,"  Johnny said as he lowered the handbrakes.

"We're going to follow them."  You insisted. "I lost Yuri and I'm not going to lose her."  Johnny was about to oppose to you but as he turned to you - you shot a glare his way and he didn't bother.  

Following your teacher wasn’t easy. He drove fast and recklessly - not even Johnny could keep up with him. You kept calling Sonia but she wouldn’t answer your calls. At the back of your mind, you assumed she had her phone off. 

Your leg bounced with anticipation as Johnny caught up with the driver. You didn’t recognize the area you were in but that was the least of your concerns. Mr Shigaraki pulled into the driveway and parked by the apartment complex. Johnny slowly pulled up and parked a couple spaces behind them.  You unbuckled the seatbelt and leaned forward.  

“Did you know about this?” Johnny asked you. He pointed to Mr Shigaraki who was pulling Sonia’s arm in the direction of the entrance. 

“No - she never told me anything.” You said softly. Everything was falling into place now...  This is why Sonia never looked at Shigaraki in class. Why she blew you off without reasons and left with her ‘friend’ at times.  

“Are we going to follow them?” Johnny asked. You nodded and got out of the car.  

Keeping your distance you managed to get into the building and on the floor where he lived - unfortunately, you both lost him and didn’t know which room he was on.  You wandered down the hallway slowly hoping to hear Sonia’s voice or anything that would help. 

That’s when you heard it.  The loud sound of your teacher’s voice - it sounded like he was yelling at someone. 

“That’s him.”  You said.  Your heart pounding as you sped to the door where the voice came from. Leaving Johnny to trying to catch up to you.

“Sunny!” You called out as you banged on the door. The door opened and you saw Sonia sitting on the ground with her shirt ripped while Mr Shigaraki stood trying to block your view. 

“Let her go.”  You said as you tried to push the door open. 

“This doesn’t involve you.”  Mr Shigaraki said.  

“She’s my friend so it does.”  You said before pushing the door open causing your professor to stumble back.  You ran in and grabbed Sonia off the floor. The tiny South Asian girl freely going with you. However, Mr Shigaraki had closed the door and blocked your path. 

“Just let us go,” Sonia said as she stepped in front of you defensively. 

Mr Shigaraki tsked, “You made a deal with me Princess.” He paused and coked his head to the side. “I kept up my end up -” 

“I’ll do my part tomorrow, just please let Y/n leave,”  Sonia said.  

“I can’t do that -- she knows too much.”  Mr Shigaraki said. But before he could do anything you heard the sound of heavy steps in the hallway.  The door swung open and Detective Choi was right there with his gun.  He wasted no time in arresting the older man. Leaving you with Sonia. 

There was no dramatic fight scene, no one was hurt nothing. Just the police arriving on time and saving you both.  It almost seemed too easy.

You were brought into the Police Station and held for questioning.  Apparently, the police had found three new phones and the murder weapon - along with Jaehyun’s wallet in his house. You weren’t allowed to speak with him even though you wanted to know the truth.   

Yet you were relieved that you were able to make it out alive. But part of you ached for the ones you lost. 

You stared off in the distance as the sound of sirens echoed in your head. Sonia sat next to you with a heavy heart. You both apologized to each other seven times. Yet it was so awkward. 

Three days later you sat with Johnny on the couch as the TV screen finally lit up.  Sonia had picked a horror movie to look at and you were cursing at her choice.  It was some French horror called 'Martyrs'  so you knew for a fact it would be gory since that was her favourite type.  

A soft sigh left your lips - everything was over. They had arrested Mr Shigaraki, and you were still alive. Half of your friends were gone and it hurt so much but you had to try and focus on the ones that were still here. 

You smiled as you saw Yuta and Sonia laughing about some lame joke.  It felt nice to hear their voices so happy again.  But the person who seemed to be the happiest was Johnny.

"How does that even turn you on?"  You whispered to  Johnny. You looked down and saw the light teal blanket which was draped over his lap.  His hands were under the blanket and you knew exactly why.  This was something you never understood about Johnny - how horror movies turned him on.  The worst part was the more gory ones worked the quickest.  

Johnny Seo clenched his fists as he stared at the TV screen.  You leaned closer to him and casually draped a leg over his thigh. You saw his body tense up as he reached to place his hand on your bare leg, the pretty black skirt you wore riding up even more.  

"I'm gonna get another drink." Johnny finally said - not being able to take it anymore.  You looked at Johnny, his dark brown eyes piercing into yours, his full lips caught between his teeth, "Do you want more?"  The words left his lips and you knew exactly what he meant.  

And just like that, you were like a dumbstruck puppy following after Johnny.  You stood up from your seated position and followed him out of the living-room.   Johnny walked past the kitchen and disappeared down the hallway.  You slowly wandered down the dim-lit corridor before stopping by a door that was left ajar.  

"Very funny Johnny." You said nonchalantly, "I'm not in the mood to be playing these games."  

There was no answer.  The sound of the movie echoed in the distance - the voices muffled yet somewhat audible.  You let out a soft huff before pushing the door open, only to see an empty room. It was a neat looking bedroom with one single window and a decent-sized bed.  Your footsteps were light as you entered the bedroom, part of you was still on high alert for some odd reason even though it was said that the killer was captured.  

As you stepped further into the room you heard the door slam shut behind you. There was a tinge in your heart as you spun around only to Johnny standing there.  He reached to the door handle and locked the door before stalking towards you.  His gait filled with hunger like a wolf ready to destroy an innocent lamb.   "A..are you okay?"   You stuttered as you stepped back.  

"I am now,"  Johnny replied as he took a step closer.  "Are you afraid?"  He asked.  

Part of you was afraid.  There was no denying that at all, especially after the chain of events that occurred over the past few days.  

"N..no."  You answered. The back of your legs hitting the edge of the bed causing you to come to a halt.

"Pity."  That was the only word that left his mouth before he pushed you down on the bed. You quickly shifted and propped yourself up with your elbows and looked up at him.  Johnny smirked.  He pushed his soft, black hair back before shrugging off his jet black leather jacket. He threw it on the floor and then proceeded to undo his belt.  

His dark gaze lingered on you causing your body to react and squeeze your thighs together.  

"I wanna try something tonight."  He finally said as he reached behind his back and pulled something from his back pocket.  

"What is it?"  You asked.  

He didn't answer, instead, he raised a pocket knife from behind him and flipped it open.  The sharp silver blade reflected light as he held it tightly in his grip. Your eyes widened as you realised where this was going.  You reacted as fast as you could and tried to inch yourself away from him.  However, it was to no avail. Johnny reached forward and grabbed your ankle dragging you lower down on the bed as he chuckled.  

"Aww come on - you know I wouldn't really hurt you right?"  Johnny cooed as he crawled on top of you.  The taller boy pinned you down, his leg going between your thighs while both his hands held on to your wrists, you struggled against his grip not really wanting to do this. "You're just so cute when you're afraid."  He leaned down and forced his lips against yours.  His lips tasted like flavoured beer. You wiggled under him but he simply smiled into the kiss before pulling away. "You know how much I love you right?"

Johnny then shifted his hands,  holding both your wrists with one hand while the other had the knife.  He traced the sharp blade down the valley of your covered breasts, stopping right by the waistband of your skirt.  

"Maybe we should get rid of all this."  Johnny's lips ghosted against your skin sending chills down your spine.  As much as you hated to admit it - you loved his deep voice, you loved the way he controlled your body and you loved the way he gets your heart racing.

Johnny placed the handle of the knife between his teeth as he sat up and pulled your skirt off. He tossed it to the side before admiring your pretty body.  He reached for the knife once more and placed it by the buttons of your shirt easily cutting each one open.  You gripped the sheets as the cold, steel blade touched your bare skin a couple of times.  

Next, he pulled open the shirt to reveal your bra.  He tsked, "This won't do."  He added before cutting the straps off swiftly. You were surprised at how skilled he was with the blade.  The cool air met your bare skin causing your nipples to perk up.  Johnny traced the tip of the knife around your areola slightly scrapping the skin, the burning feeling causing you to whine.  

"Johnny."  Your voice was a bit higher now as you shifted under him.  "Please."

"Please what?"  Johnny asked as he leaned down, he licked a stride up to your breast before sucking on the soft skin.  You bit down on your lip trying to hold in the sounds. He swirled his tongue around your soft bud before slowly pulling away. A trail of spit connecting his lips to your chest.   "Ah, you're so sensitive."  He taunted you as his finger came to pinch at your other nipple.  Now he was playing with your body.  Touching it how he deemed fit and going painfully slow just for his entertainment.

His finger slid down to your panties, he rubbed them against the pretty light coloured material and chuckled as he felt your wetness pooling down there.  

"Aww, I haven't even started and you're already wet for me."  Johnny teased, "I guess horror movies don't just turn me on."  

"N..no it's not like that."  You said quickly as you tried to defend yourself.

"Mmmm.."  Johnny hummed as he pointed the knife at you causing you to stop your movements and lay back on the bed.  

"Good girl," Johnny said in a stern voice as he pushed your underwear to the side and slipped a finger in, running it against your heat. You let out a soft moan as he flicked his finger against your clit.  He pushed another finger inside your pretty cunt.  Slowly he curled them as he admired the expression on your face.  You were so adorable to him.  He loved everything from your eyes to your nose and especially your pretty mouth.  

He moved his fingers - pumping them into your soft cunt.  The feeling of you clenching around him was enough to make him let out a soft moan. He kept moving until he noticed the way your body fidgeted. You were close- but he wasn’t going to let you finish like that. Johnny pulled his fingers out of you. Emptiness flooding you as you glanced at him.  Now he was really going to get down to business. He undid his pants and pulled it down.

Johnny pressed his cock against your tight entrance.  You squirmed at his actions but he only chuckled as he placed the blade of the knife against your neck and leaned down.

"You're going to be a good, little girl and take all of me right?"  His tone was deep and desperate. He leaned forward and pushed inside of you, a sinful moan dripping from his lips as he stretched you out.  Your mouth fell open as you tilted your head back taking in the rush of pain that came with it.  Inch by inch he sank deeper into your sopping heat.  

"Take it like a good girl."  He grunted as he marvelled in the feeling of your warm heat around him. Without a single warning, his hips snapped mercilessly into yours.  Your soft whimpers and cries now magnified as his pace changed. From his parted lips, low groans of pleasure slipped as he heard your sweet sounds.  Johnny dropped the knife, his free hand moving down to your clit as he added to the pleasure you were experiencing.  A gasp left your mouth as he brushed against it, his fingers rubbing harder and harder with each thrust.  It wasn't long before he was about to hit his climax.   You could feel it in the way his breathing changed.  His thrusts became sloppier and desperate as he fucked into you over and over again.  Your body weakened by his hard grips and bruises.  

"F..fuck."  Johnny moaned as you involuntarily clenched around his length.  There was a strong feeling in the pit of your stomach as you hit your high. Your breaths became shorter as you tugged on his soft hair.  Your body arching up against his bare chest as you felt your seed spill out.  Johnny kept going - fucking you through the orgasm until he finally hit his.  You felt his warm cum fill you up, his hips slowly fucking the cum back into you.  

After he was satisfied he flopped down on the bed next to you.  His toned chest rose and fell as he stared up at the ceiling.

"You're so fucking amazing." He mumbled.  Johnny turned to you and pulled you closer, pressing closed mouth kisses to your flushed face.

You stretched as you heard a knock on the door. Quickly you scrambled to pull on your pants when the door swung open.

"Johnny!" You screamed as you pointed behind him.  The older man raised an eyebrow and turned around only to be knocked out with a punch.  The clothed figure grabbed Johnny and attempted to overpower him, piling punches on your boyfriend.  

"Run Y/n!"  Johnny yelled as he tried to defend himself.

"Stop!" You yelled.  The masked man paused and looked up at you only to push Johnny down on the floor.  You saw him raised the silver knife only to jab it into Johnny.  Each stab you heard your boyfriend cry out in pain.  But you could barely see him, the bed blocked the view since he was on the other side.  You were grateful because you don't think you could have handled seeing it.  Blood splattered on the walls and bedsheets staining - tainting.  You gasped, your hands covering your face as you saw the entire thing go down right in front of you.  

"How could you?" You cried out as the masked man pulled the knife from Johnny's body.  He used his gloved hand to wipe the blood away before looking back at you.  He tilted his head to the side before lunging forward.  You used what was left in you and quickly jumped on the bed and ran across to the other side.  You hesitated for a second, glancing back at your boyfriend who was now lying lifeless on the ground in a pool of his own blood.

Tears pooling at your eyes as you covered your mouth.  Part of you wanted to run towards the bastard and kill him while the other part of you was scarred as shit.  Everyone around you was dying one by one and this person was simply torturing you with each passing second.   The masked figure stalked your movements,  every step you took he followed.  

"Who the fuck are you?!" You screamed at him. "What the fuck do you want?" You gripped your shirt and eyed him.  The person didn't respond.  Instead they gripped the knife tighter in their hand before pointing it towards you. Your eyes momentarily going to Johnny, his figure slumped on the floor as his hand weakly covered the multiple stab wounds he received on his stomach. Crimson blood staining his shirt and dripped down his hand.  Johnny's eyes closed - his body lifeless.  The man who swore to protect you was dead.  

You looked back at the killer, he walked towards you faster this time and you had no choice but to run.  You dashed out of the room and ran down the staircase of the house.

"Help!" You screamed looking around for someone, anyone.  "Officer Kang!" You pushed everything in your voice hoping that someone would hear you. But it was to no avail.  Once your feet touched the last step you glanced up and saw Ghostface chasing after you.

Without much thought you ran to the front door and pushed it open.  The night was ominous and darker than usual.  But then again it was almost 3am and the rest of the world was peacefully asleep while you were running for your life.  You stumbled out of the horror house and ran straight for the police car which was parked nearby.  Officer Kang was supposed to be in it still.

You stole glances at the person behind you and saw that they were, in fact, catching up.  You pushed your body a bit further as you were centimetres from the car.  You banged on the car door and attempted to open the door. You yanked it open only to find the corpse of Officer Kang tumbling out.  

"Ahh!" You let out an ear-piercing scream as you stepped back and saw his head slide off his body and onto the ground right by your feet.  This was a nightmare.  You stumbled back and landed right in the arms of someone.  You let out another scream as you turned around.

"Ahh!" Yuta screamed in response as he looked at you.   It was just Yuta.  

"J.. J…Johnny's dead."  You rambled, "Ghostface killed him." You cried as Yuta embraced you.  He held your tightly in his arms as you sobbed, unable to pull yourself together. Sonia was missing, Jaehyun's dead. Yuri's dead, Officer Kang's dead, Jin and Somi were both dead and now Johnny.  This was a massacre. You thought the real killer was taken care off but you were wrong. They arrested the wrong person and this was now evident.

"We need to get out of here," Yuta said as he looked around anxiously.

That's when it hit you - where was the killer?  He had followed you out of the house but now he was nowhere to be found. He disappeared the same time Yuta showed up.  

You pulled away from Yuta before looking around once more.  "Where's Sunny?"  You asked.  

"I don't know - we were watching the movie and then she left to go outside around the same time you and Johnny left,"  Yuta said as he eyed you.  You checked for your phone only to realise that you had left it inside the house.  

"Do you hav-"  You didn't have time to finish speaking since a scream interrupted.  "Sunny!" It had to be her voice.  

"No Y/n we can't go back there,"  Yuta said as he grabbed your wrists, holding you back from running into inevitable trouble.

"We have to, she's the only one left."  You cried out.  "This fucker took everyone from me,  I can't let him take her."  You paused, "You either come with me or get lost."  You tugged your hand from his grip and took a deep breath. You went back to Officer Kang's dead, headless body and took the gun out from his pocket.  He had taught you before how to use one and now was your chance.  You had to end it once and for all.  

"You're one crazy bitch,"  Yuta said. "But if I can't stop you then I can at least go with you."   He went back to the police car and took the other gun before nodding.  You trusted him.  

Yuta lead you back to the house, the front door wide open and the grand place empty.  It felt as if the dead roamed freely now.  Chills ran down your spine as you gripped the gun tighter.   You stepped lightly into the house with Yuta, he looked both ways before walking carefully into the living room where just a few hours ago everyone was happily enjoying a movie.   The tv was still playing but the place was empty.  Popcorn spilt on the couch and an array of alcohol bottled lined on the small coffee table.  You walked down the hallway right behind Yuta but stopped as you passed a closet.  

"Wait."  You reached out and touched Yuta's shoulder before pointing to the door.  There was a faint sound coming from the closet.  Yuta acted immediately and pulled the door open aiming his gun directly to it only to find Mr Shingaraki tied up.  His mouth was covered with tape and his body was secured with rope.  

"What the fuck?"  Yuta said as he glanced to you.  "How the hell did you escape?"  he asked, his gun aiming to his teacher.   Yuta carefully reached down and ripped the table from his mouth.

"Thank God." He said, "You need to trust me."  Mr Shigaraki stated. "Someone killed all the guards at the station and unlocked the cell so I came here to find Sonia and see if she was okay."  

"Fucking pervert."  You spat to the older man. "Where is Sunny." You directed the gun to him and pulled off the safety.  

"I don't know.  She wouldn't talk to me, she ran off and before I could chase her someone knocked me out and finally I wake up to be trapped here."  Mr Shigaraki said as he struggled in his confines. "You need to let me out."  

You looked at Yuta before looking back at your teacher. He has been lying to all his students and was even convicted of murder.  You didn't have much time to think before you heard footsteps running down the stairs. Yuta pushed the teacher back in the closet and closed the door.  They got louder as the person neared the ground floor and turned the corner only to run smack! into you.  You stumbled back and Sonia fell next to you on the floor.  

She was out of breath - which was never good for someone with asthma.  

"Sunny, I'm here." You said as you helped her up. "It's okay, let's leav-"

"Y/n he's coming." Sonia panicked as she stood to her feet.  "He's right behind me -" She stopped talking once she heard the heavy steps right behind her.  You looked up and saw the same murderer, he was dressed in black with the same mask hiding his face.  

Sonia took your hand and faced the man.   You glanced behind but gasped as you saw that Yuta was now knocked out on the floor,  blood pooling at his temple while another person wearing the same outfit stood blocking the way. You both were trapped in the hallway with no way to go.  

"Show your fucking face, you cowards!" You yelled.  If this was how you were going to die you needed to know exactly who was doing this and why.  Not that you were planning on doing it.  

"You killed Johnny, Yuri and Jaehyun."  You said, your movements were swift as you pointed the gun to one and then to the other while backing up against the wall with Sonia.  "Why?"

Neither one of them moved. A few seconds passed, your body shaking like crazy.  This was anxiety-inducing.  Until finally one of them raised their hand to the mask and pulled it off.  

You and Sonia gasped in unison as you saw the pretty face behind the mask.  

"Jaehyun."  Your voice came out more like a mumble.

"What's wrong princess? You look like you've seen a ghost."  The other voice caused you to turn to the side only to see your boyfriend standing there with the mask in his hands.  He dropped it on the floor and stalked towards you.  You were about to run when Jaehyun grabbed Sonia and Johnny blocked your path.   You looked back at your friend,  Jaehyun had his arm around her and the knife pressed to her neck.

"What - what’s going on?"  You asked as you pointed the gun to your once lover. "You were dead - I saw it, all the blood."  He chuckled the sharp butcher's knife in his hands.

"Oh, I'm very much alive - as for the blood… Corn starch and colouring."  Johnny teased. He walked towards Yuta who laid helpless on the floor and pressed the knife against his neck. "Drop the gun, or I will kill him,"  Johnny said.  You were hesitant. "Do it now babygirl, the longer you take the deeper the first cut will be."  He added as he punctured Yuta's skin.  You could see the dark red pooling to the surface of his skin.  You were distraught.

"Just do it,"  Sonia whispered in your ear as she stayed close to you.  If she hadn't said the words you wouldn't have complied.  

The gun hit the floor with a thud before Johnny reached over and grabbed it.  He opened it out and emptied the bullets to the floor before tossing it to the side.  

"Why are you doing this?"  Sonia asked, still in Jaehyun's grip.  

"Oh Johnny, I think she wants a motive,"  Jaehyun said sarcastically as he leaned closer to Sonia.

"Well - I could say it's because I wanted revenge,"  Johnny stated. "What about you Jae?"

"Hmm, maybe I just wanted the girl. " Jaehyun replied.  He pressed the knife harder against Sonia's skin.  

"Fuck you!" You called out.

"No no baby, we already did that..  you lost remember?"  Johnny teased as he inched closer to you.  He caged you against the wall and dragged the knife down the front of the t-shirt you wore.   A sick smile gracing his pretty lips as he leaned closer. "Remember the Kwon Hyuck massacre?" he asked.  You nodded slowly.  "Good girl. Your babysitter - Jimin was actually my older sister. She risked her life for you and ended up dead."  Johnny growled as he pressed the knife harder against your chest.  

You felt the tip stabbing into your skin and winced at the pain.  

"She was everything to me, and you took her away,"  Johnny stated. "Jimin was the only one in my family who understood me, who loved me."  He paused, "Do you know the shit I went through? My father wasn't the good type - you always wanted to know how I got the scar by my chest?"  Johnny chuckled and pushed the knife in deeper. "He did it to me, and he would have done worst if Jimin wasn't there to stop him."  

There was a moment of silence.  Judging from that you assumed that not even Jaehyun knew about this.  

"She saved you but ended up fucked up and dead. And I ended up in that abusive household for years until my father passed- mysteriously."  Johnny bit his bottom lip and leaned in closer to you.  His thigh wedged between your legs as you felt the blood drip down from your chest. "I killed him."  He whispered to you as he moved the knife. The tip was covered in blood and he traced it down your cheek.

Your eyes widened.

"How's that for a motive?"  Johnny stated. "But hey, you were my girlfriend, and you have the tightest, prettiest cunt so why don't we have another game?"  

"The police are going to be here any minute."  You lied as you squirmed under his grip. "You're dead meat."  You spat.  

"Feisty."  Jaehyun teased.

"Please, even if they come on time, you'll be dead.  Sunny will be dead -"

"After I fuck her."  Jaehyun cut in.  You heard Sonia gasp as she frantically tried to get out of his grip on for Jaehyun to hold on to her tighter.  His strong arm around her waist.  

"Please noo."  Sonia cried.  Your heart ached as you heard her soft voice begging.  Fear was piling in once more.  

"Shhh," Jaehyun said as he pressed the knife to her stomach.  Johnny simply laughed before turning back to you.

"And your lovely pervert of a teacher would be left to take the fall for all of this.   After all he was the killer right?  After learning that other students knew about his affair with his student who broke his heart so violently… he couldn't take it anymore so he went and massacred everyone who knew before killing himself."  Johnny paused,  before walking over to the closet and opening it. He pulled Mr Shigaraki out of the closet and pushed him on the floor. He tried to move and fight back but it was useless.  Without wasting a second Johnny shot the older man to the side of his head.  

"Done!" He said with a smile before walking back to you, his thigh pushing up against your core rubbing it gently as he eyed your features. "However, only two were left alive and that was me and Jae."  

"Brilliant plan right?" Johnny asked before leaning closer to you.  You were at a loss for words as the events unfolded in front of you.  This couldn't be the end, you wouldn't have it.  Johnny's lips crashed against yours.  He smiled before plunging the knife into your stomach area.  Your lips parted but the sound was swallowed by Johnny as he kissed you.  Taking in the pain your eyes watered.  Tears dripped down your cheek as the pain shot through your body.   Johnny twisted the knife adding to the agony you felt.  

"Y/n! No." Sonia shouted, "Please leave her alone." she cried.

Finally, he pulled away - just about when you felt like you were going to pass out.  He gripped your hair and pulled you up from the wall before pushing you down on the floor. You fell right next to Yuta's body, vermilion blood staining your t-shirt and pooling on the floor underneath you.  The room felt hazy and your body was feeling colder and colder.  

"Now's your turn."  You heard Jaehyun's voice as he pulled Sonia to the couch.  You heard her cry out for you placed your hand on the floor to steady yourself and that's when you felt it.  Yuta's hand pushing something to you.   It was the gun.

He also took a gun - you check the safety in it before looking up at Johnny was facing Jaehyun.

"There's one flaw in your plan."  You coughed up.

"What's that?"  Johnny asked with a cocky grin as he looked down at you.

"You sold yourself out before killing me."  You answered before raising the gun and pulling the trigger twice.  The sound of the bullets leaving the gun echoed in the empty room as each shot hit Johnny's body.  He stumbled back, a groan of pain left his lips as Jaehyun quickly ran to see what had happened.   Johnny was bleeding out on the floor.  

"Fuck you, bitch!" Johnny yelled. You mustered up all the strength you had and stood up before running down the hallway and towards the back of the house. "Go get her!" Johnny pointed to Jaehyun.  You heard his steps heavy right behind you.  You turned the corner and ran up the staircase. Your body weakening with each step you took. Finally, you made it up and headed straight for the bedroom. You locked the door before looking around - your face lit up as you saw your cellphone right where you had left it.

You grabbed it and dialled for the police.  

Bang! Bang!

Jaehyun pounded on the door.  

"Come on, we just want to talk."  Jaehyun said as he fiddled with the doorknob.  You had no choice - you looked around and the only place you could hide in was the closet. You took the gun and phone and went in the closet before shutting the door.  

Once someone picked up on the other end you repeated the address to the house twice.  However, at that moment Jaehyun had entered the room.  You stopped talking and covered your mouth.  Your hand feeling around for anything you could use in case the gun stopped working.  You felt an umbrella. The bigger ones with the sharp tip.  You heard Jaehyun's steps as he entered the room and walked around.

"Y/n." Jaehyun called out. "You know - if you weren't Johnny's girl, I'd actually take a chance with you."  Jaehyun taunted you. "You're really pretty, you know, and Johnny says you're such a subby baby."  He chuckled, "Doing what you're told - so why not do what you're told and come out of the closet?"  You saw through the bottom of the closet door the shadow of his feet.  He had stopped right in front of it.  Your heart pounded.  You swore he could hear it from outside. 

Jung Jaehyun reached forward and pulled open the doors. You immediately aimed the gun to him and fired it once hitting him directly in the chest.  He stepped back.

"Bitch!" He yelled before lunging forwards.  He grabbed you by your throat and squeezed tightly.  You felt the oxygen escaping your lungs as you tried to fight back.  The gun slowly slipping from your grip. Your nails dug into his flesh before you raised your foot and stamped down hard on his foot.   He yelped in pain.  You ignored the pain in your stomach and raised your leg to kick him in the groin.  Jaehyun fell back on the bed, he cried out in agony as his hands covered his aching groin.

"Don't fucking touch my friend again."  You said before aiming the gun to his forehead.  

"You're gonna die either way."  Jaehyun managed to say. "You're gonna rot -"

Bang!

The gun went off and the bullet went straight through his forehead. You just killed a man.

No - You just killed a pervert and a murderer.

You cried out in pain as your free hand went down to clutch at the open wound in your stomach.  More blood dripped from it.  But you still had one more person to take care of.  

It was hard but you pulled your body down the staircase, gun in one hand and Jaehyun's knife in your hand and the gun in your back pocket.  Once down you heard grunts and low groans.  You were prepared for the worst when you turned the corner only to see Sonia struggling against Johnny's grip.  He had her pinned down on the floor but she was kicking up at him.  Her arms sliced from his knife and bruises on her face.  

"Leave her alone."  You said aiming the knife to him.  Johnny looked up and smirked.  

"You killed Jae?"  He scoffed, "Didn't need him anyway. Being the sole survivor is a much better story."

You didn't speak, instead you eyed him as he punched Sonia once more- knocking her out, he stood up weakly.  His tall, brooding figure now only filled with half the intimidation.  He was hurt badly. You looked at the carnage.  Yuta's lifeless body lying on the floor right next to the unconscious teacher's. Jaehyun's corpse upstairs and Sonia half alive on the floor. There was blood - the doors open and glass broken.  Everything was one big mess and you wanted it to end now.

"Just stop please."  You cried out as your hand holding the knife shook.  "You lost someone you loved, but so did others."  

Johnny took a step towards you, ignoring Sonia who laid on the floor.  You saw her hand twitch but quickly focused back to Johnny.

"I underestimated the amount of fight you had in you."  He stated.  "If I wasn't trying to kill you right now, I'd fuck you right here."  He teased.  He didn't think you'd put up such a fight and truth be told he found you looked even hotter like this.  All fucked out and bruised or bleeding.  

"Just confess and tell the truth."  You said pointing the knife to him. Johnny had his own knife in his hand as he stepped closer.

"I don't think I would."  Johnny said, "You know too much, now you have to die."  Johnny said, "That's the rules."

"Johnny no!" You cried out as he rushed towards you knife in his hand as he raised it.  You heard a loud gunshot and flinched as Johnny's body fell on top of yours knocking you down to the floor.  A shock of pain ran through your body as you felt the weight on the side where you had your stab wound.  You struggled to push him off and looked up to see Sonia pushing herself upholding the gun Johnny had emptied earlier.  Yuta finally opening his eyes as Sonia crawled towards you and helped you up before leaning against the wall.  

"It's over."  You cried as you looked at her.

"I don't kn-"

Johnny reached out and grabbed your ankle at the same time.  You screamed and pulled the gun from your back pocket before shooting him in the forehead. His head fell back on the floor and blood poured out.  

You couldn't contain yourself and immediately started to cry in Sonia's arms.  She hugged you tightly as she too cried.   You placed an arm around her as she held supported you, dragging you out of the house and to the front step. Yuta followed behind holding the two guns.  You sat down on the step with her next to you and Yuta on the other side.  The cold breeze easing the heat you went through and the dark sky slowly lighting up with the light from the sun.  

You leaned your head on Sonia's shoulder as Yuta held your hand.  You looked out to the road where two police cars and an ambulance were speeding coming. 

You made it.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who finally snapped when the Kooks picked on Pope, whilst he was just doing his job of delivering groceries to houses on Figure 8. He'd stayed behind on the boat, waiting for his best friend to return, but when he saw the state Pope was left in, all hell broke loose...

GHOSTFACE JJ.. whose first victim was none over than Topper Thornton, himself. He'd managed to get Pope to tell him who it was that roughed him up and the first two he said: 'Topper Thornton and Rafe Cameron.' And so, he snuck into Topper's house, in the dead of night, and slashed open his throat with his knife.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who didn't even blink as he cut open Topper's throat, no, he revelled in it. He felt more happiness and justice in that moment than ever before. The sick bastard smirked behind his Halloween mask, which he'd stolen from the Halloween costume store.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who played innocent in front of his friends. When they saw the news about Topper on the TV in The Wreck, they were all shocked, and JJ played his part to perfection. He acted as he usually did, leaving the rest of the Pogues to suspect nothing.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who the very next night went after the 'King Kook' himself - Rafe Cameron. He decided to spice things up this night, so after he'd snuck through Rafe's open window in his ensuite bathroom, he woke the Kook up. Rafe woke with a jolt, his eyes immediately widening as he saw the dressed up, masked figure above his bed.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who then raised his knife - tightly held in his fists - before stabbing Rafe, right in his heart. Blood immediately shot up, staining JJ's mask in blood. And just as Rafe clung onto the last remaining speck of life he had, JJ raised his mask, showing Rafe exactly who it was that killed him. JJ Maybank, a Pogue.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who quickly became a serial killer, as well as the biggest mystery and danger the Outer Banks islands had ever faced. He had killed around 13 of the Kooks on the island, in one month, all because of how they treated him and his friends, as well as everyone on The Cut.

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who laughed when the Kildare County Sheriff Station claimed they had no suspects as of late, but were going to do everything they could to defend themselves from this danger..

GHOSTFACE JJ.. who kinda liked the name the scared people of the Outer Banks had given him. He thought the name 'The Ghostface Killer' matched everything perfectly. He moved like a ghost, only showing his face to his victims, just moments before their deaths.

“You got nothin’ to worry about,” Billy puffs up his chest, “I’ll protect you.”

“Thanks, Billy.” You gave him a feeble smile. Though your expression was strained, he still gave you a wink before moving to check the latch on your bedroom window.

Recently the town had been plagued by a series of murders. First, Barbara Holland and Nancy Wheeler, then Carol Perkins and her boyfriend Tommy Hagan, and, most recently, Jason Carver. Everybody was panicked, the cops couldn’t get a lead on the serial killer (whom they’d named ‘Ghostface’ due to witnesses reports about the figure’s mask), and your classmates were getting antsy with the assigned curfew.

After overhearing you talking to your friends about your parents leaving town for the weekend, Billy offered to come over to your house tonight to “protect you.” He insisted even after you declined, walking away with an “I’ll be over at 8!” before you could get another word out.

He had taken an interest in you almost immediately after moving to Hawkins and kept trying to get you to go out with him. It’s as if the word ‘no’ didn’t exist in his vocabulary. Now, he was going over all the windows in your living room, making sure they were locked while boasting about how he thought the panic over the serial killer was stupid. You followed him throughout the house, smiling and nodding, hoping he would stop talking, finish quickly, and leave.

A sudden BANG! broke your train of thought.

“What was that?” Billy asked, turning away from the window to look at you, eyes wide.

“I don’t know..” You replied, confusedly. “Sounds like it came from outside.”

He stood still for a moment, listening for any other odd sounds before turning back to the window. You looked at your watch, blocking out his rant about “all the good players on the basketball team ending up dead” when another sound grabbed your attention.

“What the hell.” Billy muttered under his breath as he creeped towards the doorframe that led out to the hallway. “That was not outside.”

“What do you think it is?” You asked him slowly. “Do you think it’s the killer?”

“No,” he scoffed. Still, he hesitated before stepping out into the hallway, head frantically swinging back and forth.

You followed him as he walked slowly through the house, examining each room. Once the kitchen was deemed clear, he turned to you, cocky smirk back on his face.

“Nothing here.” He said smugly. “Guess I scared-”BANG He yelped, spinning around, now face to face with Ghostface. You let out a gasp, watching with wide eyes as Ghostface slashed his knife towards Billy. He managed to dodge the attack, roughly shoving the killer away before turning towards you.

He grabbed your arm, forcefully pulling you through the house to the front door. You stumbled in the darkness of the hallway as you tried to keep up with his speed. Your heart felt as if it was about to burst and your hands were shaking from adrenaline. As the both of you rounded the corner, you could see the glow of the streetlight through the windowpanes of the door. Like moths to a flame you raced toward it, safety a mere ten steps away.

Just as you reached the entry way, the masked figure appeared. Billy flinched back, only to crash into you, your chest hitting his back from his abrupt stop. That moment was all Ghostface needed to swing his knife into Billy’s chest. Billy fell to the floor and Ghostface followed.

You squealed as he brought the knife down again, and again, and again until Billy’s blood was splattered all over you and the walls, and his wailing pleas finally stopped.

Ghostface stood from his kneeled position over the body. He wiped the bloody knife against his sleeve before reaching towards his mask. As the white mask was pulled off of his face, his hood fell and you were met with Steve Harrington’s grinning face.

You burst out a laugh, matching his grin.

“Holy shit!" you giggled, "That was a good one!”
