BASED OFF SCREAM:

CHAPTER 10:

Stu groaned and pulled himself up. Putting his hand to his head he cursed viciously and looked around. Why was he in a basement?

Then he remembered. The killer.

He glanced around making sure no one was in there with him then tried to open the door back out to the garden. He pushed as hard as he could against it but nothing. It was locked.

Stu kicked the door and cursed again. What the hell was he supposed to do now?

He sat on the floor and rubbed his head. There'd definitely be a bruise there in the morning.

He listened out for any sound, maybe the party was still on? But after a little while of listening he decided the party was finished and as far as he could tell the house was either empty or Paul had gone to sleep.

Stu was becoming more and more frustrated, where the hell was Billy?

:Billy and Stu's room:

The journey back had been silent except for Dewey occasionally asking Billy stuff like how he'd been and how was collage.

Dewey dropped Billy off outside the collage building and drove off. Billy hurried up to the room and opened it expecting to see Stu.

To his surprise the room was empty. With a sigh Billy sat on the couch and grabbed the phone. He tried to call Stu but as usual Stu had left his phone in his room.

"Damn it Stu." He muttered getting up.

Billy yanked open a cupboard and a load of junk fell out onto him. He growled slightly and began to stuff it all back into the cupboard. He suddenly noticed a Panasonic camera.

He picked it up and turned it on. To his amazement it started playing the conversation himself and Stu had had just before they killed Melinda.

Billy stopped the camera and bit his lip. Who did he know that had a Panasonic camera. It definitely wasn't Stu who could barely afford a decent phone let alone a video camera.

It probably wasn't Dewey. He wasn't smart enough to have been able to plant it in the cupboard.

The phone started ringing and Billy answered it, having a good idea who it probably was. "Hello?"

"Hello Billy." Yup he was right. It was the killer.

"Hey, I uh, found your little camera." Billy said in a friendly manor.

"Did you? I was wondering when you'd finally open that cupboard." The killer replied in the same friendly manor.

"What do you wan?" Billy asked turning serious.

The killer gave a small laugh, "I've got your friend by the way and if your not back at Paul's house in an hour, I'll kill him."

Billy cocked an eyebrow, "Why do you think I'd risk my life to save Stu?"

The killer didn't answer at first then said, "Well don't you wanna know who I am? I was planning on revealing myself tonight but if your too scared…."

"I'll be there." Billy said as he hung up.

He knew he was probably insane going to a place where a killer probably had a plan but Billy was feeling pretty confident. He'd survived an umbrella to the chest and multiple stab wounds. He could probably survive this.
