Full Chapter
EXT. LAKEHART - DAY

Lakehart has cleaned up and looks pretty. The sun shines above the city like the dawn of a new day. Everyone around Lakehart looks happy and at peace for the first time in a long time.

DESTINY: (narrating) The remaining members of Venedict's gang had either went into hiding, surrendered, or left town forever. With Venedict and his gang dead, Lakehart went back to being a peaceful normal city. We don't have to be afraid to walk out in the streets anymore.

EXT. CEMETERY - DAY

Everyone in town, including Destiny, Daniel, Chris, Kris, Amanda, Jason, Brett, Jeff, and Alexis, have all come together to attend the funeral of Lee McCoy.

DESTINY: (narrating) It is all thanks to our fallen English teacher Lee McCoy.

Destiny and Daniel hold hands.

EXT. SKY - NIGHT

We see the same foggy sky that we saw in the opening chapter as Destiny continues to narrate.

DESTINY: (narrating) The police did find evidence to confirm what we already knew...that Lee McCoy was the Ghostface killer who killed Schuyler, Luther, Rydell, and Portman.

Intense music begins as we learn...

DESTINY: However, there is one problem. Everyone in town saw Kila being burned to death LIVE by Ghostface.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

The entire town sees the horrifying footage of Kila being burned to death.

INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

Lee McCoy is watching this with other teachers on a TV at the restaurant.

DESTINY: (narrating) Mr. McCoy was with a group of teachers at the time this took place. Evidence does show that the video was actually live when it happened. Which means - Lee McCoy -- the Ghostface Killer, was NOT the one who killed Kila. So if Mr. McCoy didn't kill Kila...then who did?

CUT TO:

INT. DESTINY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Destiny and a shirtless Daniel are lying on her bed. Possibly preparing to or in the aftermath of having sex.

DANIEL: I'll be back.

DESTINY: Okay.

Daniel gets up. Destiny sees something on Daniel's back, which she has never noticed before.

DESTINY: How did you get that on your back?

Daniel smiles, knowing exactly what she's talking about.

DANIEL: I'll tell you someday.

Daniel leaves her bedroom.

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

Daniel approaches the mirror and looks at himself. He sighs. He feels so much relief like the weight of the world has dropped from him shoulders. But why?

As Daniel stares at himself, we PAN OVER TO - His back, which reveals to have a BULLET WOUND SCAR.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT

Kila forces Sarah's little brother on his knees. She steps back a few feet before shooting him in the back.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT (LATER)

A police officer is prepared to cover the Little Brother's body with a white sheet when -- THE LITTLE BROTHER MOVES.

POLICE OFFICER: Oh, my God!

The Little Brother proceeds to breathe and groan in pain from being shot.

POLICE OFFICER: (shouting) WE GOT ALIVE ONE HERE!!!

The Little Brother finally turns his head, revealing to be -- YOUNG DANIEL CORDILLO.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT

Ghostface drops the lighter onto a trail of gasoline, which results in Kila being set on fire.

As Kila is burning to death, Ghostface steps away from the web camera so that he cannot be seen by the viewers of Lakehart watching this LIVE. Upon being out of view, Ghostface removes his mask to reveal himself as -- DANIEL CORDILLO.

Daniel watches this with a satisfied smirk on his face as he watches the woman who shot him in the back burn to death.

BACK TO PRESENT

Daniel has the same smirk on his face as he stares at himself in the mirror. His secret still kept from the world.

THE END.

Deaths
None

Trivia

 * It's revealed at the end that Daniel Cordillo (Destiny's boyfriend) is Sarah's Little Brother who survived being shot by Kila. He is the second Ghostface killer who kidnapped and killed Kila as revenge. This explains why the revealed Ghostface Lee McCoy was able to be out in open public to be seen at the same time that Ghostface was murdering Kila LIVE for everyone to see.
