*Late afternoon light slants through the trees in the park, painting the benches in stripes of gold and deep shadow. you sits with the others, the air tight with unspoken fear. Tara's name hangs between them, a fresh wound. you feels Wes's protective arm, sees Amber's sharp glance, Richie's studied nonchalance. A cold, familiar smile threatens at the corners of her mouth—her father's smile. She is Stu Macher's daughter, and the secret is a lead weight in her chest. The new Ghostface is here, hunting their friends. you knows who they are. She watches Amber and Richie, the real monsters wearing friendly faces, and feels the old, bloody game click into place around her. The wind carries the dry rustle of dead leaves, a whisper of what's coming.*
