Just saw that one gif of the couple in a haunted house where the guy pushes the girl in front of the ākillerā and runs away, so said killer gives the girl his knife and she chases after her man. Could you write a similar scenario. Whether the killer hands reader their weapon, reader asks for it or just takes it, I just think itās kinda funny. Readerās boyfriend shoves her in front of the killer and books it so reader ends up with the slasherās weapon and goes after her boyfriend herself. Iād like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees please but if you wanna add anyone I certainly wonāt stop you.
Slashers' Reaction when they See the Reader being Offered as Bait by Her Own Boyfriend.
Summary: When your cowardly boyfriend shoves you into the path of infamous slashers to save himself, you donāt scream: you get even. Each killer watches you take their weapon and chase down your backstabbing boyfriend with rage, sarcasm and style. Turns out, the real horror isnāt the killer... itās dating a man with no spine.
Includes: Michael Myers, Jason Voorhes, Bo Sinclair, Charles Lee Ray, Billy Loomis & Stu Macher
A/N: I found this request very interesting, I certainly wouldn't let it go if it were me. Thank you for sending the request, I loved writing it and imagining the scene.
You shouldāve known something was off the second your boyfriend suggested the two of you āgo for a walk through Haddonfieldā at night.
āItās Halloween,ā you said.
āExactly,ā he replied, smug. āLetās live a little.ā
So you ended up strolling near Lampkin Lane, where the houses were quiet, the wind was sharp, and something was watching you. You turn the corner near the old, abandoned Myers house: the one thatās still cordoned off with faded āNo Trespassingā signs and urban legends as thick as fog. The porch creaks in the distance. Somewhere, a swing sways on rusted chains, though thereās no breeze.
Your boyfriend chuckles nervously beside you.
āThis is kinda spooky, huh?ā
āYeah,ā you mutter, eyeing the dark windows. āI told you this wasnāt a good idea.ā
Suddenly, something shifts in the shadows. A figure steps into the orange glow of a flickering streetlamp at the end of the block.
Tall. Silent. White mask. Mechanicās suit.
Michael. Myers.
Heās far away, but not far enough.
Then your boyfriend, in a move so quick and selfish it would impress Olympic sprinters, screams like a banshee and SHOVES you toward the street... toward HIM.
āOH MY GOD! TAKE HER!ā he shrieks. āTAKE HER, NOT ME!ā
You stumble into the road, landing on your hands and knees.
āAre you KIDDING ME?!ā you shout, spinning around to watch him full-on sprint in the opposite direction.
You canāt believe it. Your boyfriend just offered you to Michael freaking Myers like a sacrifice in sneakers.
Michael is still there. Watching. Still as a statue. His head tilts.
You meet his dark, unreadable eyes behind the mask.
āā¦Iām not with him anymore,ā you mutter.
He slowly approaches. No words. Just the rhythmic sound of his boots crunching on leaves. He stops in front of you, towering and ominous, the chefās knife in his gloved hand glinting under the moonlight.
Then⦠Michael raises the knife slowly and flips it.
He holds it out to you. Handle first.
You blink. āWait... are you⦠giving this to me?ā
The silence is deafening.
You glance over your shoulder. You can still hear your ex-boyfriend screaming in the distance, fumbling with a chain-link fence and tripping like heās in a bad horror movie.
You look back at Michael. His hand doesnāt waver.
āā¦Hell yes,ā you mutter, and take the knife.
You get up. Your shoulders square. Youāre no longer the girl who got shoved into danger.
āThanks, Mikey,ā you say, not expecting a response. But you swear, swear, his head tilts just a bit more. Like amusement. Then you take off, knife in hand, stalking your way through Haddonfield.
āHEY, JAMES!ā you yell into the night. āIāM GONNA CARVE OUT THE WORD āCOWARDā ON YOUR BACK!ā
From down the road, your ex screams. āWHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH THE KILLER?!ā
You shout, āBECAUSE THE KILLER HAS MORE INTEGRITY THAN YOU!ā
Michael watches from the shadows, the slightest movement betraying what might almost be a nod of approval.
For tonight, Haddonfieldās boogeyman takes a break.
Youāve got vengeance covered.
You werenāt thrilled about this trip to Camp Crystal Lake in the first place. Your boyfriend had sold it as a āfun, spooky weekend getawayā just you two, nature, and some ālight ghost huntingā for his vlog.
You hadnāt signed up to get eaten alive by mosquitoes, much less the thought of possibly running into Jason freaking Voorhees. Still, you tried to enjoy it. The lake was beautiful in that eerie, mist-covered way. You even held his hand while walking the trails after sundown, lantern swinging in your grip, nerves humming with unease.
Thatās when you heard it, a twig snapping, somewhere off the trail.
Your boyfriend froze, eyes wide. āD-did you hear that?ā
You sighed, half-annoyed. āItās probably a deer or...ā
Another step. Heavy. Deliberate. Slow.
Towering. Silent. Mask glinting pale in the moonlight. A blood-stained machete gripped in his hand like an extension of his soul. You took a shocked step back. You werenāt even sure if you screamed. But your boyfriend?
He screamed louder than youāve ever heard a grown man scream. Full panic mode. Then, without warning...
āTAKE HER!ā he shrieks, dead serious, and takes off running like a cartoon character on fast-forward.
You stumble, barely catching yourself before hitting the forest floor. Heart racing, hands trembling, you look up expecting death.
You look back in the direction your boyfriend fled, the underbrush still shaking from his cowardice.
Then you turn back to Jason. And it clicks.
ā...Did he seriously throw me to you like Iām a Scooby-Doo extra?ā
Jason doesnāt answer. Of course he doesnāt. But somehow, you know he gets it. The way his mask tilts slightly, just enough to read like confusion and maybe even a little pity, itās almost comical.
You wipe some dirt off your pants. āYou know what? Screw it. Youāre not the scariest guy out here tonight.ā
Jason just stands there. Then, slowly, he flips the machete in his hand and holds it out to you.
Handle first. No sound. No words. Just⦠an offer.
āOh... Oh, youāre my new best friend.ā
You take it. Itās heavy, really heavy, but youāre running on pure adrenaline and RAGE now.
āThank you, Mr. Voorhees,ā you say, sincerely. āIāll bring it back with blood on it.ā
You spin around and stalk into the woods, machete dragging across the dirt, screaming your boyfriendās name into the trees:
āYOU THREW ME TO JASON VORHEES, YOU SPINELESS TOAD?! YOUāD BETTER HOPE HE KILLS YOU FIRST!ā
Somewhere in the distance, you hear a terrified voice yell, āOH GOD SHE HAS A MACHETE JASON, STOP HER!ā
Jason doesnāt move. He watches you vanish into the trees, his massive shoulders rising and falling once with what might, might have been the ghost of a laugh.
He doesnāt need to lift a finger tonight.
Ambrose wasnāt even supposed to be on the way. Youād both taken the detour after your boyfriend swore up and down it would be a "fun, spooky, abandoned town Instagram thing." Classic him. Anything for the views, right?
Youāre standing in the middle of Main Street, surrounded by wax figures, everything dead silent and youāre glaring at your boyfriend, whoās just realized the garage isnāt as empty as it looks.
Bo Sinclair steps out of the shadows, wiping his hands with a rag, eyes landing on you both like a lion sighting fresh meat.
"Well, well," he says, slow Southern drawl curling around his smirk. "Yāall lost or just dumb?"
You donāt even get a chance to answer.
Your boyfriend screams, like, actual scream and grabs you by the shoulders.
āTAKE HER!ā he shouts, shoving you toward Bo with both hands. You stumble, trip, and land at Boās feet.
Then the bastard runs. Full sprint. Down the road. No looking back.
You lie there for a second, stunned, blinking up at the sky.
Bo just blinks down at you, his expression blank for a beat.
Then he bursts out laughing.
āOh, goddamn," he wheezes, clutching his stomach. "You see that? He tossed you like a sack o' potatoes!ā
āYeah,ā you mutter, standing up and brushing off your clothes. āBelieve me, I felt it.ā
Bo whistles, still grinning. āGirl, he didnāt just throw you under the bus, he started the engine and reversed over you twice.ā
Youāre still glaring after your fleeing boyfriendās back. The rage is setting in. Humiliation burning behind your eyes.
āUnbelievable,ā you mutter. āHe really left me to die.ā
Bo wipes his eyes, watching you with interest now. āSo whatāre you gonna do, sweetheart? Scream? Cry? Run after āim?ā
You inhale sharply, glance over at the tool bench behind Bo⦠and then look at the wrench in his hand. Your eyes narrow. Bo watches you eye it. Then, with the ease of someone offering a gift, he flips it around and holds it out handle-first.
āTell ya what," he says with a grin. "You wanna clock him one? I wonāt stop ya. Hell, Iāll even give you a five-minute head start before I come collect whatās left.ā
It's heavy. Cold. Satisfying.
You grin wickedly. āIām not gonna kill him.ā
Bo lifts a brow. āNo?ā
āJust gonna remind him that if heās gonna throw me to the wolves, he better hope theyāre hungrier than I am.ā
Bo gives a low whistle, clearly impressed. āDamn, girl.ā
You start marching in the direction your boyfriend ran, full murder in your stride.
As you pass a wax figure of a man mid-scream, you mutter, āBetter start running faster, Jason. Iāve got a wrench and no sense of mercy right now.ā
Bo watches you go, still smiling, his arms folded.
āGotta admit,ā he says under his breath, āI kinda wanna see how that turns out.ā
āBabe, this is not funny anymore,ā you hiss, clutching your coat tighter against the biting wind. āWe were supposed to be in Little Italy. Where the hell are we?ā
Your boyfriend glances over his shoulder, jumping at every shadow. āItās fine, itās fine,ā he mutters. āLetās just keep walking. Thereās gotta be a main street nearby.ā
Then comes the sound of tiny footsteps⦠fast. Too fast.
A doll. A little red-haired Good Guy doll. Just standing at the end of the alley.
āWhat the f-ā you begin.
And then it moves. Fast, like a blur, and suddenly that high-pitched, gravelly voice cuts through the silence.
āHi, Iām Chucky. Wanna die?ā
The doll leaps toward you both.
Your boyfriend screams like a child at Chuck E. Cheese and, without a momentās hesitation, grabs you by the arm and throws you in front of him like a ragdoll.
āTAKE HER!ā he yells, already bolting down the alley like his soulās on fire.
You land hard on your hip, scraping your palm against the concrete. āYou son of a...!ā
Chucky skids to a stop, blinking down at you as you sit there on the ground, stunned and seething.
āā¦Damn,ā Chucky mutters, cocking his plastic head. āThat guy really tossed you like yesterdayās trash. Thatās cold.ā
You slowly push yourself up, wiping blood off your palm. āYou think?ā
Chucky shrugs, then straightens up, switching the bloody knife in his tiny hand to a reverse grip. āNormally, this is the part where I stab you and laugh about it, butā¦ā
He glances down the alley, where your boyfriendās distant scream echoes into the night. āI think I just found someone Iād rather gut.ā
You raise an eyebrow. āYou donāt say.ā
Thereās a pause. Then you step forward.
āā¦Let me see that.ā
Chucky eyes you. āYou wanna borrow my knife?ā
He grins wide, teeth sharp behind the plastic sheen of his face. āYouāve got style, sweetheart.ā
He hands it over, hilt first. You feel the weight of it, smaller than you expected, but razor sharp and warm. You give it a test twirl, then glance down the alley where your dear boyfriend disappeared.
You take a deep breath, grit your teeth, and start walking.
āYOU CHOSE ME TO DIE, YOU LITTLE COWARD?ā you bellow into the dark. āYOU USED ME AS A HUMAN SHIELD FOR A DOLL?!ā
You break into a sprint, blade gleaming.
Behind you, Chucky watches with absolute delight.
āYāknow,ā he says to no one in particular, lighting a cigarette, āI think Iām in love.ā
Then he casually strolls after you, whistling.
The old Macher house had been abandoned since Stu's party. Of course it had, the murders, the blood, the urban legends whispered through Woodsboroās halls made sure of that. But your boyfriend had dared you to break in with him anyway.
"Itās just an old house," he said. "Nothingās gonna happen."
You shouldāve known something was off the moment the door creaked open by itself.
You wandered the trashed kitchen, cobwebs stringing across cabinets like decaying tinsel. Somewhere down the hallway, something thumped. You froze. He grabbed your arm.
Not a cell phone.
A landline.
On the counter. Plugged into nothing.
You blinked. Your boyfriend picked it up, smirking like a frat boy on Halloween.
Then a voice, low, amused, just slightly familiar.
āDo you like scary movies?ā
His face went white. āWh-What? Who is this?ā
āNope,ā he said, slamming the receiver down. āNope nope nope nopeā
But it was too late. From the hallway, Ghostface stepped out.
Not a replica. Not a costume.
He held the knife low, that signature gliding gait stalking slowly forward.
Your boyfriendās survival instincts kicked in and unfortunately for you, those instincts said sacrifice your girlfriend.
āTAKE HER!ā he shrieked, physically shoving you forward into Ghostfaceās path, then booking it full-speed out the back door, limbs flailing like a Scooby-Doo reject.
You hit the ground with a grunt. Time froze. The killer stared down at you. His knife gleamed. But thenāhe tilted his head, like you were more interesting than expected.
Billy Loomis smirked down at you, all smugness and shadowed cheekbones.
You scrambled to your feet. āAre you KIDDING ME?!ā
He nodded toward the door your boyfriend had just sprinted through like the coward he was.
āHe really just did that,ā Billy mused. āDidnāt even hesitate. Just⦠āhere, kill my girlfriend, I gotta run.āā He mimicked your boyfriendās scream with a chuckle. āClassic.ā
You glared, chest heaving. āIām going to kill him.ā
Billy raised a brow. āYou sure you need me to do it?ā
There was a pause. A tense, burning one.
Then you lifted your hand, palm open.
āā¦Can I borrow the knife?ā
Billy looked down at the weapon in his hand. Then at you. Then back to the hallway.
āYou know what?ā he said, almost tenderly. āYouāve earned this.ā
He flipped the knife and offered it to you, handle-first. Your fingers curled around it. It was still warm from his grip.
āThanks,ā you growled, eyes blazing. āIāll bring it back with blood.ā
āYou better,ā he replied, stepping back and watching like a proud director. āMake it messy.ā
You threw open the back door and stormed into the night, yelling after your now-regretful boyfriend:
āYOU LEFT ME TO DIE, YOU CHEAP-SHOE-WEARING, NO-LOYALTY-HAVING DOLLAR STORE SCREAM QUEEN!ā
Somewhere in the trees, your boyfriend screamed again.
Billy leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms as he watched the carnage unfold in the distance.
He gave a small, satisfied smile.
āDamn,ā he murmured. āI think Iām in love.ā
It was supposed to be a fun night.
The local horror maze downtown had been canceled last minute, so your boyfriend had the brilliant idea to ābreak into the old abandoned farmhouse on the edge of Woodsboro,ā which in hindsight was like asking to die in the first ten minutes of a horror movie.
āCāmon, babe,ā heād said, āItās totally safe. Weāll be in and out. No psycho killers, promise.ā
Youād rolled your eyes but agreed, because hey, what could go wrong?
The house creaked like it wanted to collapse on you. Dust curled off the stairs. Every door groaned like a warning. You were maybe two steps inside when a TV flickered to life in the corner of the room, showing a grainy VHS of old horror movie clips, then cut suddenly to live footage of you two standing right there in the house.
āWhat the hell...ā you whispered.
That's when you heard it. The low, distorted voice from behind:
You turned just in time to see Ghostface: tall, lanky, and looming, emerge from the hallway with a gleaming knife in hand.
Your loving, caring, chivalrous boyfriend?
He screamed at a pitch only dogs could hear, shoved you toward the killer like a sandbag, and ran.
Not a glance back. Not a ārun!ā
Just: āYOUāRE ON YOUR OWN, BABE!ā
You hit the floor hard, wind knocked out of you, staring after him.
Ghostface froze. There was a pause⦠and then a very familiar wheezy laugh behind the mask.
āOh my god,ā the killer wheezed, pulling the mask off with a flourish. āDid that dude just yeet you at me?!ā
āSup!ā he said, waving with the knife still in hand. āDidnāt know it was you, swear. Thought I was doing the old āboo and stabā tonight. But wow, your man just offered you up like a Happy Meal.ā
You sat up, groaning. āHe shoved me so hard I almost blacked out.ā
Stu held his stomach, doubled over in laughter. āI canāt... I canāt breathe, he was like āTAKE HER, OH MIGHTY KNIFE DEMON, SHEāS THE SACRIFICE.āā
You rubbed your temple. āI should stab him.ā
He froze, then lit up. āWait. Wait. You should! Here...ā he spun the knife in his hand and offered it, handle-first. āGo get him, tiger.ā
Stu leaned in, grinning. āYou know you want to.ā
āā¦You know what? Screw it.ā
You snatched the knife, stood, and dusted yourself off.
āIām gonna murder him. With my words. Maybe the knife. TBD.ā
Stu made an exaggerated swoon motion. āOh my god. Youāre so hot right now.ā
You stormed out the front door with purpose, knife in hand. āI SEE YOU HIDING BEHIND THE TRASHCAN, JEREMY! DONāT THINK I WONāT DUMP YOU WITH A KNIFE IN MY HAND!ā
From behind, Stu followed casually with the Ghostface mask hanging off one hand and a big grin on his face.
āIf you stab him, Iām definitely taking you to prom.ā
