Epilogue: Ten Years Later

The woman smiled as she wrapped her arms around him, her lips lightly pressing a kiss underneath his ear. "I love you, Henry." She whispered.
"I love you more, Hallie." He teased back before listening to the silence knowing that it would be ruined soon by the sound of their second child's cry for milk.

Hayley and Harrison had both died the minute the two drove out of their old town after blowing out Lily's brains. They were happy with what the result had been and together they were going to live happily. Instead of fearing that Hayley and Harrison were the number one suspects, their parents feared that the killer had got them and hidden their bodies. Which they were happy with.

Moving to a new town, they eloped in Gretna before starting their own little family and there wasn't a single day that he regretted. He loved every minute that he was with her. Their love didn't get old and boring. Every day was ignited with more passion than the one before.

Sighing at the sound of their second child crying, he kissed her cheek. "I wished we'd lived a little first."

"We did." She whisperd before kissing him. "And we're living a lot more than they all did." He whispered as he reached up and took her into his arms as she moved, kissing her shoulder.

"Now that I agree with." Smiling, she just turned to leave.

Moving into the nursery, she leant over the crib and sighed. "What's bothering you, Lily?"

The Last Goodbye

Everyone had died now and Lily was going never going to regret what had happened between her and Hayley. Together they had made something so beautiful happen. Something so beautiful that she would never forget, she would still remember it tomorrow as if it was yesterday. The best thing was she knew she had destroyed Hayley's life through getting Harrison involved in the horror that was their life.

Lying down on the couch, she flicked through the channels on the television before sighing as she heard a knock on the front door. No one would come calling at this hour of night because everyone knew her parents would be out and due to all her friends being previously disposed, this night was a free night for her.

Opening the door, her jaw dropped. "I thought you was leaving so you both wouldn't get in trouble..." She taunted before noticing what they were doing. "Hayley..." She started to plead but she was immediatly silenced with a small pop.

A bullet tore through her forehead, no sound made because of the silencer they'd attached. Her body slumped to the fall in a single instant. The woman bit back the urge to vomit due to the help of her boyfriends hand covering her mouth so that she wouldn't scream. Tears fell down her cheeks as she realised that this was it for them.

They'd made a big mistake.

Departure?

The guy loaded their bags into the back of the car and closed the boot before turning round to look at her, resting back on the boot. He could see the fear in her eyes. He could see that she didn't really want to leave but it was all he knew. He held out his arms, a silent request for her to move into them so he could comfort her.


She did so.

He kissed the top of her head, his hand rubbing up and down her back. "I promise to look after you." He whispered holding her close, knowing that he never wanted to let her go. She really was everything to him now.
"I know and I feel so lucky to have you." Harrison smiled at her comment as he knew that she shouldn't feel that way at all. He sighed as he kissed the top of her head again. This caused her to move away and look up at him. "What's wrong?"
"You deserve so much..."

Hayley silenced him by taking hold of his lips, her hands cupping his cheeks as she pulled away, her head shaking. "Don't ever think that. It's you who deserves better." She whispered before smiling. "Let's go."

The car started and Hayley stared out the window, her jaw clenched at the idea that she was leaving. Anger raced through her and she knew it needed to end. All of it.

"Stop."

Harrison

She stood outside his house, tears falling as she thought of what Lily had just told her. She'd always believed that he didn't know what she'd been doing but now she knew otherwise.

Moving inside, she headed up to his bedroom slowly and quietly. All this needed to end before it got any worse.

Opening his door, she slowly moved towards his bed and stroked his cheek gently before kissing him. He woke up, taking hold of her wrist before pulling her down on the bed.

"I've missed you."
"Harrison, we need to talk..."
"What about?" He whispered still kissing her.
"I know you know..." She whispered pushing him away from her, her hands on the vee of his top. "Why didn't you ever talk to me about it?"
"Because I didn't want to believe it, okay?"

She moved away from the bed, her hands running through her hair as she started to pace his room. She suddenly stopped near his chest of drawers and ran her hand along the top.

"I didn't want you to get involved."
"Well I am." He whispered moving up behind her and taking her in his arms. "Hayley..."
"Run away with me..."
"What?"
"Lets just leave this place. Now. And not come back. Ever!"
"I don't know what to say."
"Just say yes..." She whispered kissing him gently, her hands running through his hair when she turned to look at him. "Please because I don't want to lose you."
"Okay."

Manipulation Is An Easy Game

The two women sat next to each other in the dark as they stared ahead. "I think we should leave town, Lily."
"Why?" The girl asked rubbing her hands together, the sound annoying the crap out of Hayley but she'd never say because that would just start an unnecessary bicker between them.
"Because we're main suspects now, they'll be onto us."
"There is no us, Hayley. Do you not see that?" Lily laughed as she shook her head. "Due to you being in prison when the last murder happened there is no one else they can pin it all on."
"But I did do all the other murders!" Hayley whispered fearing that someone could hear her, fearing that talking too loud would get her caught and thrown into jail for the rest of her years.
"I know."
"So you murdered Carrie?"

Lily laughed as she looked over at the girl with her dark adjusted eyes. How sweet and naive Hayley really was. As if Lily had got her own hands dirty with doing such a deed. "I had the power over someone else to do it."
"Who?"
"I'd just like to say he really does love you, by the way."

Hayley's heartbeat raced as she clumsily rose to her feet, running out of the old barn/house thing and emptying her stomach down the old drain. Her fingers clutching against the uneven brick as she thought of what she'd manipulated Harrison into doing.

Lily had always been the mastermind behind the murders. She'd cooked them up and Hayley had been the one brave enough to actually carry them out. The only one stupid enough. Until now.

She needed to find him.

Before anyone else did...

Could This Be The End?

There was a hint of hesitancy in the woman's steps as she moved towards the old warehouse, a smile forming on her lips as she thought of what had happened there so long ago.

Three drunk friends promising to kill their best friends, get the revenge that they secretly desired. How wrong everything was now.

There was two of them left. Lily and Hayley. Two who made the original murder plot, the original drunken dream was plotted in their two ticking minds.

Pulling open the door, the ginger woman took a deep breath as she stepped inside and looked around. "Lily!" She called looking around, her eyes trying to adjust to the dark.

Why had Lily wanted to meet here?

That question was soon answered as a match was struck, gently accentuating a small area of the woman's face.

"Hello, Hayley."

Auf Weidersen, Carrie

She'd always been afraid of them. She didn't like their long legs, the little hairs that made them more real. The way they quickly crept across the floor, the way they hid in corners. They were always there but she'd never really thought about them, it only feared her when she saw them.

That's why now, in a dark corner of the town, she was afraid to cross over the bridge because there was a spider there. They'd arranged to meet here. It was their favourite meeting place and everyone knew it was. It was like their den, their treehouse, their clubhouse.

She felt her heart racing, the overwhelming nausea biting at her stomach as she stared hollowly at the creature. It wasn't going to be moving anytime soon.

What she hadn't realised that it wasn't real. It was plastic. Simply bought from a joke shop. It had been put there for a reason...

From behind she was jumped, a hand covering her mouth to stop her from screaming. "Boo..." The voice whispered in her ear, warm breath teasing her ear, flesh tickling her flesh. "It's time to say goodnight, Carrie."

***

The girl struggled against the binds. The makeshift coffin was just the right size for her. It was almost as if it had been made for her and that's when she realised it had been, her death had been planned.

A shadow covered her and she looked up, her eyes widening in horror as she tried to scream. Her voice being muffled by the gag that had been forced into her small mouth. A smile crept across the shadows face. "Yours is the best, Carrie. Be proud. It'll be known forever..." The voice drawled.

A plastic box was revealed and Carrie could see them scuttling around. She knew what they were and could feel her heart racing as she shook her head, her eyes pleaing for freedom... For them not to be put in her coffin.

The shadow just laughed before opening the box, tipping them out on her chest. "Sweet dreams, Carrie. You'll need them."

A large board was put over her, cutting out the light. The sound of drilling. She'd been locked in.

She could feel her pulse racing, her heart soaring. Blood pumped in her ears. She could feel them crawling over her, minding their own business but she was still scared.

Tears squeezed free from her eyes, a warm sensation rushed between her legs and she knew that too much of this torture was going to kill her.

***

It took fifteen hours before the struggling stopped, her muffled cries to calm down. They knew she was gone. Lack of oxygen, fear.

Spiders were the murderer technically here.

Short && Sweet

The lack of light hid the two people in shadows as they stood and discussed the next step of their plans. There was only a few of them left then the whole group would be wiped off the face of the earth.

"Who next?"
"Lily."
"No, save her 'til later."
"Carrie then." The partner drawled rolling their eyes before taking hold of the other's hand. "Are you sure this is how you want it to go down?"
"I want it to go down the way it goes down. I don't fucking care anymore."
"Excellent." The voice said, a smile present in the tone. He obviously had something planned for Carrie.

Friendship Lost

The girl sighed as she ran into the police station. Learning about Hayley's arrest had made her rather distressed and she knew she'd never be able to settle unless she knew she was alright.

Hayley was being released that moment, her whole body froze as she saw her stood there. She quickly caught up with her actions and turned to look at the officer, her handcuffed hands moving up with a hint of indignation in her face. She'd hated being treated like a criminal.

"I needed to come make sure you was okay!" Carrie explained before Hayley had even thought about asking her a question.
"Well now you have, you can totter off home." She said in a bored tone of voice, signing her release forms before smiling smugly at Carrie. "You've checked that I'm fine. Pretended to be a friend, you can go back to your good old life."
"Hayley, you know i have no life without you."
"Well then, you're screwed." Hayley spat angrily as she pushed open the doors, smiling as she felt the cold wind bite at her bare skin.

His car screeched into the car park and she ran over to him as he stepped out of the car, her arms being thrown around his neck as she started to kiss him. He kissed her back with that same desperation, that same sense of loss. For being an online relationship, they definitley were working a lot better then they wanted.

"Hayley, understand this. I just want you to be okay."
"I am okay, Carrie."
"Do you know who is murdering our friends?" Hayley moved towards Carrie, her smile almost evil.
"I'd watch out Carrie, you might get unlucky next time." She whispered to her before moving away. "You never know how scared people get."

As the car drove away, Carrie found herself crying. She'd lost her best friend.

Fill In

Looking down at the matted mess that used to be the girl's blonde hair, he sighed as he felt his stomach turn. He'd been wasting time with Hayley... They'd been so convinced that it was her that they'd not even considered the options of it being anyone else.

The ambulance sirens droned away as he rubbed his sweating hands down his trouser legs, his eyes tired as he realised this case was probably going to be his last. He was going to retire peacefully with the memories that he'd lost a girl her life with his stupidity, his neglect that there could have been more... He stopped thinking. There was no point mellowing now. Ellie Harris was dead. That meant Hayley, Carrie or Lily could be next...

He was going to protect them three. If it was the last thing he did...

She sat cross legged on the hard bunkbed they expected her to sleep on. Her eyes were cold and calculating as she stared at the little door letter thing where they put the odd drink for her. She hadn't drank one yet because there was no way she was going to pee on that toilet...

A small smile pressed against her lips as she realised she had him good...
