Full Chapter
INT. LAKEHART HIGH SCHOOL - ENGLISH CLASS - DAY

McCoy puts a pile of papers down on the lectern, indicating that the class has just finished the subjects relating to the papers.

MCCOY: So now we will talk about the school's paper for the upcoming week. Any volunteers?

Chris quickly raises his hand.

MCCOY: Mr. Snyder.

CHRIS: We should write about Ghostface and the story about Greg Montana in honor of what happened last night.

MCCOY: Really, Chris? School appropriate, please.

CHRIS: Everything that Jyle Venedict has done effects everyone in this school. So Ghostface's actions effect us, too. So we should talk about it.

KRIS: He's right. It's the first positive major thing to happen to us. We should open up about it.

DANIEL: I feel that we shouldn't avoid discussing it. Venedict would win if we try to avoid it.

MCCOY: Fine. You can do an article on Greg Montana. I assume that you're going to want to write this yourself, Chris?

CHRIS: I will.

KRIS: Can I help?

CHRIS: Sure.

DANIEL: I would like to contribute.

Daniel turns to Destiny.

DANIEL: How about you, Destiny?

DESTINY: I can help out I suppose. I don't know too much about it. But I can help.

AMANDA: I think we all should put in our two cents in this story.

MCCOY: Okay. All of you can join together to write this story. But no theories or speculations about the new Ghostface.

CHRIS: Off the record then, who do you think is the new Ghostface, Mr. McCoy?

Everyone turns to their teacher, wondering the same about his thoughts. McCoy stops to think about it for a moment. But he's drawing a blank.

MCCOY: I have no clue. I don't know if we ever will find out.

BELL RINGS

CUT TO:

INT. LAKEHART HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY

Destiny and Daniel are walking together.

DESTINY: Don't worry, babe. You don't have to come all the way to my house to walk me to Chris's house. You live close by to his house. I don't want you to come all the way to my house just to go back in the direction. I will be okay.

DANIEL: Are you sure?

DESTINY: I'll be fine. I'm taking the bus.

DANIEL: If you run into any problems on the way, you just give me a call and I'll come get you right away.

DESTINY: Thanks, Daniel.

Destiny sees Jeff standing by his car through the door panel window.

DESTINY: Jeff is waiting. I'll see you later.

Destiny and Daniel kiss each other goodbye before she departs from her boyfriend.

EXT. FAULKNER RESIDENCE - DAY/EVENING

The front door opens and Destiny walks out with Jeff standing inside behind her.

JEFF: I wish you would let me give you a ride. I don't know if it's safe.

DESTINY: Don't worry, Jeff. I'm taking the bus and Chris's part of Lakehart hardly gets activity there. I'll be fine.

JEFF: You got your tazer?

DESTINY: (showing him the tazer) I got it.

JEFF: Be careful.

DESTINY: I will.

Destiny leaves, closing the door behind her. She walks through her quiet and peaceful looking neighborhood. But it's too quiet and peaceful looking, indicating that it's deceptive.

We DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD/CLUBHOUSE - EVENING

A city bus stops at a bus stop outside a neighborhood which has a large clubhouse and park that the residence would first see coming home. Destiny steps out of the bus and walks through the side of the clubhouse, heading for the back.

EXT. CLUBHOUSE - EVENING

As Destiny gets closer to the back, she suddenly hears FOOTSTEPS not far from her. This makes her nervous. But she, nevertheless, continues walking. But then she sees a DARK SHADOW in the distance. It appears to be coming towards her.

Terrified by this, Destiny proceeds to run away from this, pulling out her tazer. As she runs off, she's facing back to keep an eye on the shadow. So she doesn't see what is in front of her. Suddenly - Destiny bumps into a man, CLAY (30s). This causes her to drop her tazer and it's accidentally kicked away.

CLAY: Whoa, there young lady.

DESTINY: Sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you.

Destiny attempts to walk away. But...

CLAY: Whoa, what's a young girl like you doing walking around here alone?

DESTINY: Just going to see some friends.

CLAY: (smiling creepily) I think that you should make friends with us. (looking behind Destiny) Isn't that right, fellas?

MALE VOICES: (off screen) You sure are, Clay.

Destiny turns around to find three more men; DAY, RAY, and KAY (all in their 20s and 30s). They all give her the eye, which horrifies Destiny.

DESTINY: Please, let me go.

CLAY: But we want to have some fun with you. Make friends, right?

Destiny attempts run. But Clay grabs her and slams her against the brick wall. The four men surround her. They proceed to unzip their pants. Destiny proceeds to cry in fear.

DESTINY: Please, don't!

CLAY: Just relax, baby, and enjoy the fun.

Clay goes to pull down her pants when -- DAY IS TACKLED OFF SCREEN, SCREAMING. The other guys turn to see what happened. But immediately, Ghostface appears and beats Ray down. Kay pulls out his gun. But Ghostface slashes his wrist with his knife, causing him to drop his gun. Kay screams in pain as Ghostface grabs him and slams his head against the brick wall, knocking him unconscious.

Horrified that his men have all been taken down by this killer, Clay abandons his plans for Destiny and starts running. Ghostface throws his knife, which gets Clay in the leg. He screams out and falls to the ground.

Ghostface approaches the injured Clay and turns him on his back.

GHOSTFACE: You're members of Venedict's gang, right?

Fearing for his life, Clay nods his head with confirmation.

GHOSTFACE: (placing his knife at his throat) Then you will tell me where Kila and Rydell are.

With Ghostface distracted with grilling Clay for information, Destiny takes this moment to run.

Clay whimpers in horror. But before he can speak, we CUT TO:

INT. CHRIS'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - EVENING

Chris, Kris, Amanda, Jason, and Brett are hanging out.

JASON: Should we get started?

AMANDA: Shouldn't we wait for Destiny and Daniel?

CHRIS: They'll be along soon.

A moment later -- A DARK FIGURE appears at the sliding glass door, scaring everyone. Chris turns on the light and it's revealed to be -- DANIEL.

DANIEL: Hey, guys. I'm here.

Chris opens the sliding glass door, allowing Daniel in.

CHRIS: Hey, Daniel.

DANIEL: Where's Destiny? Has she arrived yet?

Everyone looks at each other.

AMANDA: Didn't she come with you?

DANIEL: No. She wanted to come by herself.

Suddenly -- Destiny barges in through the front door. Out of breath. Still horrified.

DANIEL: Hey, babe. There you are.

Everyone notices Destiny's facial expression and realizes that something is wrong.

DANIEL: Baby, what's wrong?

Deaths
It's Unknown rather or not Ghostface actually killed Clay's gang.
