《Tainted Love | scream series ¹ ✓》[25]

Stu looked over to see Kat getting up to answer the door before pulling Tatum up and into the Kitchen. He knew he had to get rid of her now and quickly before Kat gets suspicious.
Sure he wasn't exactly telling the truth to Kat, but she'd never find out that her wanting to be with him meant that Tatum was added to the list of victims, not that she was safe from it before.
"Stu, what are you doing" Tatum droned in his ear; he rolled his eyes, thinking how her voice was like nails on a chalkboard instead of that sweet moaning he'd been pulling from Kat a few hours earlier.
Smiling at his soon to be ex-girlfriend, he shrugged. "I'm getting us a beer," he told her and pulled open the fridge to reveal a refrigerator full of beer. He quickly closed the door before she could see.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Stu heard Kat shout and knew it was the perfect opportunity.
"Babe, will you go down and get us a beer while I go see what's wrong out there," He asked in his nicest voice to the blonde girl.
Tatum rolled her eyes, scoffing, "what am I, the beer wench."
He laughed before putting on his puppy eyes as she just flipped him off and walked away into the garage "Goodbye, Tatum," He said, grinning, knowing Billy would have been watching and now waiting for her.
Locking the door to the garage, he quickly turned the music up louder as he turned back to the party, ready to claim Kat as his girlfriend and to forget about Tatum Riley; she had tricked him about Kat's feelings after all, and now he was just repaying her.

Tatum walks into the cold garage wishing that Kat hadn't caused a scene, so she didn't have to come down into the creepy garage to get the beer, but here she was in the freezing cold grabbing a beer for her boyfriend while he goes and checks on the one girl she's actually threatened by.

Stu had told her that she was the one he wanted to be with and not Kat, but lately, he hasn't been present in their relationship. If she was honest with herself, she's always known about the torch he's carried from the younger Prescott twin, but she'd hoped he would drop it.
Any time Stu would talk about Kat, which was a lot, Tatum couldn't help but feel jealous; even as friends, Kat was his entire world, and she knew Sidney felt the same way she did. She couldn't understand why Billy was so protective of Kat.
But that was just them, the three musketeers, they had been the best of friends since the first day of high school, and nothing had changed. They'd never argued; whenever one was in trouble, they were all in trouble.
They had each other's backs no matter what.
This is why Tatum wasn't surprised when both Stu and Kat fought so hard for Billy's innocence. She didn't think Billy had killed anyone, but he was bad news, and Tatum was determined to keep him away from Sid.
Sighing heavily, she starts to get beer from the fridge when a shovel and other garden tools fall over, and a cat runs away. She jumps, putting a hand on her chest, laughing when she sees there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Jesus! Tatum, it's okay," She tells herself with a sigh of relief as she walks to the door only to discover the door is locked. "Shit," she whispers, trying to get the door open and juggle the beer bottles at the same time.
"Hey Shitheads!" she shouts to her friends in the house, but the music is too loud for anyone to hear her. "Is this some kind of prank?" she calls out again, wondering who would lock her out here.
"When I get back in there, I'm totally setting Kat on you guys," Tatum threatens lightly, knowing the brunette wouldn't do that for her, but people seemed to listen to the Prescott twin in fear of being ruined.

Having taken on Kat herself, she knew the other girl's threats could definitely be backed up. The yellow bruises underneath her makeup were evidence left behind that you shouldn't mess with Katherine Prescott no matter what.
Tatum tries to turn the lights on, but they don't work, so she flicks the other switch, and the garage door opens "yes," she cheered to herself, moving forward to walk up to the garage door but stops.
When it starts to close turning, she sees the costumed ghost face standing behind her silently. How had he gotten there so quietly?
"Hello? Shit, Piss. Is that you, Randy?" The Ghostface shakes his head no as Tatum laughs, walking up to the Ghostface confidently. "Cute, what movie is this from? I spit on your garage?" the mask just stares at her.
"Lose the costume. If Sidney sees it, she'll flip, and Kat won't be too happy either" The killer shakes his head again" Oh, you wanna play psycho killer?" Tatum mocks as the silent killer nods his head, "Can I be the helpless victim?" The killer shakes his head affirmative once again.
"Okay, let's see, On no Mr. Ghostface don't kill me I want to be in the sequel. Cut Casper, that's a wrap" Tatum tries to push past whoever was in the costume only to have them grab her arm tightly.
"Randy, what the hell are you doing?" Tatum asks, starting to struggle against the tight grip; she never knew Randy could be so strong. The Ghostface pulls out a very real looking knife.
Bringing it down onto her arm, he drags it across her skin, cutting it. "Ahhh! Stop!" Tatum grabs her arm as the red liquid pours out of before she freezes and looks at the killer scared, it's really him.
Determined not to be the Woodsboro's serial killer's next victim, Tatum walks backward only to fall down onto a chair. The killer runs at her as she gets up and darts past the fridge.
Thinking quick, she opens the small freezer door, which slams into its face. Dazed, the killer falls to the ground letting Tatum runs away, picking up some beer bottles, and throws them at the killer. "Fucker!".
Trying to make her escape, Tatum runs over to the doggy door and tries to get through. Surely she would be able to get through that small door; she hadn't eaten any carbs in months.
The killer calmly walks over to the door and flicks the switch, which opens the garage door, and Tatum is lifted into the air like she weighed nothing at all. Letting out a shocked gasp, she tried to get back out of the doggy door before realizing she was stuck.
Not able to push herself through or pull herself out, she looks up and screams, terrified when she realizes what's about to happen, shuffling about; she tries desperately to free herself but to no luck.
"Ahhh! No! No!" Tatum shrieks out in one final attempt to save herself before her neck is squashed between the ceiling and the door. The motor of the garage door sparks and shorts out as Tatum Riley is being strangled to death.
The garage door finally stops shuddering as she dangles lifelessly. The killer looks at her casually before he opens the now unlocked door and enters the house, ready to find their next victim, and in a place full of drunken teens, they won't have to look very far.

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
