Bloodlust ⋆ Scream [1]

"I don't know, mom, I'll be home at around seven. Yeah, I stopped by the store, they didn't have anything we need. Okay, love you, bye." I hung up the phone as I continued walking back home.

I had left school at six PM because I was studying at the library, meaning it was dark out now. I walked past a few houses, but stopped my moving when I heard someone walking.

I quickly hid behind the nearest thing, which was a tree, I peeked behind it and saw a figure walking out of the house. They must live there.

When they were walking closer, I saw that they were holding a knife that had blood on it, then they wiped it off with their glove.

What the hell?

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion before seeing them take off their ghostlike mask, revealing the face behind it. Billy Loomis?!

He looked around before continuing to walk forward, walking quicker this time as he put his knife away.

I had no time to process him walking right by the tree as I was stuck in my thoughts until he saw me. "Oh... hi?" I spoke, crouching down and pretending to look for something in the dirt.

"Sorry, I dropped my contact lens." I mumbled as an excuse, even though I didn't. He just glared down at me before scoffing in response, "You do realize I saw you, right? You weren't exactly being stealthy."

"What are you talking about?" I said as I got up. Shit, think of an excuse!

"I don't really care if you saw the knife, because I can just.." he paused as he brought out the knife again as he pointed it toward my chest.

"..kill you right here." his voice was deep and threatening, my eyes widened as I noticed how this whole situation would go down.

"No! Don't, please! What do you want me to do for you not to kill me?!" I rushed my sentence out, he let out a laugh before putting his knife back.

"I want two things. One, for you not to tell anyone, I know you go to the same school I do. Two, act like none of this ever happened." he replied, a slight smirk appearing at the corner of his lips, "Or... I'll spill your guts on the floor. Got it?"

"Y-Yes. But why aren't you just gonna kill me?" I blurted out. Jeez, why did I have to say that? Don't give him ideas!

"I don't have anything against you. And mainly because I don't feel like killing two people in one day, maybe tomorrow." he winked before walking off away from me.

I froze there for around a minute or two before I began running back home, once I arrived, I hurried the keys into the door of the house before rushing in and locking the door after.

My mom came over to me soon after, "Hey, how was school? I didn't wanna ask you on the phone." she smiled.

"Oh, um... school was fine." I returned the smile before it fell back down to a small frown as I practically ran upstairs and into my room.

I sat in my chair and put my head in my hands. How was I able to keep a huge secret to everyone? Billy Loomis is a murderer, he killed someone, and yet he wants me to keep it a secret?!

He is pretty hot though- That's not an excuse. Why would I even think of that?

I got off my chair and sat on my bed, playing on my phone for a few hours before going to bed.
