Candy Apples

“Trick or treat?” (all) “God, Parker why did you take us to such a creepy house, let’s get out of here” (Emily) “Oh calm down, houses like this always have the best candy” (Parker) “Oh who cares, a creepy place like this looks like fun anyway” (Cathryn) “Jeez Cathryn, you’re such a Halloween freak” (Joseph) “Shhh guys, the doors opening” (Sivi) “Oh, what are you all supposed to be?” (Rebecca) “I’m salt and Joseph is pepper” (Emily) “Of course the couple is matching, anyway I’m dressed as a banana.” (Parker) “I’m a lemon wedge” (Cathryn) “And I’m a cat” (Sivi) “Yeah, obviously someone didn’t get the memo” (Emily) “What memo?” (Sivi) “Lovely costumes, would you like to come in for some candy apples?” (Rebecca) “Sure! That’d be great” (Cathryn) “Great, come on in. Just lock the door behind you” (Rebecca) “No, it wouldn’t be great. Parker, why did you choose the creepiest house on the block to stop at first?” (Emily [aside]) “Wow… what a nice house…” (Joseph) “Thank you, let’s move into the living room” (Rebecca) “This house is super creepy, did you notice the skull on the mantle?” (Joseph [aside]) “May i ask why we are in some random woman’s house on Halloween? This isn’t sketchy at all!” (Emily) “Don’t worry babe, if anything happens I’ll protect you” (Joseph) “Emily, stop being so salty.” (Parker) “Was that supposed to be a pun, Parker?” (Joseph) “I’m leaving” (Emily) “Hold on a minute, i’ll go get the candy apples!” (Rebecca) “What the hell? Who just turned off the lights? Joseph are you screwing with us?” (Emily) “On my mother’s life, that wasn’t me.” (Joseph) “Then who did it?” (Sivi) “Maybe we should ask the lady.” (Cathryn) “The fuse must’ve blown, darlings! Sorry about that, i’ll be right back!” (Rebecca) “Where is this woman? I’m actually leaving now and if anyone wants to follow me, feel free. If not, have fun dying with that old hag and her candy apples.” (Emily) “You’re overreacting.” (Joseph) “I’m over this, bye.” (Emily) “I’m coming with you.” (Sivi) “Oh, come on guys! It’s probably just a Halloween prank.” (Parker) “Why would an elderly woman prank a bunch of teenagers?” (Emily) “Where the hell is Parker? He sounds so far away.” (Joseph) “He probably followed the old lady, he isn’t the brightest among all of us.” (Emily) (Parker screams) “Was that Parker?” (Sivi) “Let’s go find him!” (Cathryn) “Bye!” (Emily) “Ha! You’re not going anywhere, someone needs to protect me.” (Joseph) “Remember when you said I’m overreacting? Screw you.” (Emily) “Hello?! Let’s find Parker and get the fuck out of here.” (Cathryn) “Ugh! If you idiots just listened to me from the beginning we wouldn’t have lost Parker in the first place.” (Emily) “Parker! NO!” (Cathryn) “What happened? Cathryn where are you?!” (Joseph) “Follow my voice!” (Cathryn) “Ow! What did i just trip over?!” (Sivi) “Wanna know what you just tripped over? Parker’s dead body, that’s what!” (Cathryn) “Come on Joseph let’s go, we have to see if he’s okay” (Emily) “What! I don’t want to die. …. Oh my god the lights are back on, jeez I can’t see a thing. Fuck he’s dead, let’s get the hell out of here” (Joseph) “Hurry let’s go, AHHHHH” (Sivi) “OH MY FUCKING GOD!! DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!? I THINK SHE’S DEAD” (Cathryn) “Emily protect me, I’m going to die, AHHHH” (Joseph) “Is Joseph dead? I can’t hear him whining like a child anymore.” (Emily) “Emily hurry, there’s a door over there, we’re too tired to keep running let’s hide in there” (Cathryn) “Okay … Oh thank god we made it, it looks like a bathroom hurry lock the door. That was too fucking close (Emily) “I can’t believe their dead, and we’re next. What the hell are we supposed to do next” (Cathryn) “We can’t stay here forever, we need to run for it. Then we can get out of this fucking nightmare” (Emily) “You’re right, the killings seemed to be fast but we didn’t hear any gunshots, that old woman must be using a knife, we go fast then we can make it” (Cathryn) “Wait… how could the old woman be doing this, there’s no way a frail elderly woman could kill all these people without them fighting back. I know that bitch is behind this” (Emily) “Well who else could it be, we’re the only people who aren’t dead!” (Cathryn) “It must be someone from the outside, who snuck in” (Emily) “No that’s not possible, we locked the door of our way in” (Cathryn) “Oh I get it then, that’s why you said that woman did it. After all you can’t admit that it was really you” (Emily) “WHAT! You’ve got to be kidding me! How could I have done this” (Cathryn) “Don’t lie to me you bitch! I know it was you, you killed Joseph and the rest of them didn’t you! And know you’re going to try and kill me but I won’t let you, I’m running for it” (Emily) “NO! Emily wait you’re going to get killed out there!” (Cathryn) “Ah! FUCK! No way how could you do this … (Emily) “DON’T WORRY EMILY I’M COMING TO HELP … NO NOT YOU TOO” (Cathryn) “Cathryn over there … hide in that room … don’t let his tricks fool you … I’m sorry I doubted you...” (Emily) “It’s okay Emily, thank you. I promise I’ll figure this out … Huff … huff, I think I’m safe now” (Cathryn) “I wouldn’t be so sure” (Rebecca) “There you are, I was wondering when you would show up. Not think you can scare me just like that, after all I have nothing to fear from you” (Cathryn) “Why would you say that? Don’t you know I killed all your friends” (Rebecca) “Give it up with your tricks, I know how the real murderer is” (Cathryn) “But how can you say it’s not me” (Rebecca) “I assume it’s obvious an old woman like you couldn’t commit murder, but if you want further prove I have Emily’s last words, she said to not let’s “his” tricks fool you, of course that’s not referring to you” (Cathryn) “But if it’s not me then, it must be someone from the outside right” (Rebecca) “You especially should know that’s impossible” (Cathryn) “So then who did it? You wouldn’t possibly accuse one of your own friends” (Rebecca) “Wrong again, I don’t like it myself, but it’s the truth the true killer in this case is … Parker! “Mhmm interesting, but unfortunately impossible how could you claim a dead person is the culprit, don’t be absurd” (Rebecca) “Then of course the only logical conclusion is that he wasn’t dead, and is in fact still alive” (Cathryn) “And how do you think he accomplished that, he saw his own dead body” “Wrong. We felt it. Siviyani felt on the body but it was still dark all Parker would have to do is lay still and we would have believed he was dead” (Cathryn) “What about Joseph, he saw the body with the lights on “ (Rebecca) “He only got a quick glimpse at the body, and the lights had just come back on, his eyes would have still been adjusting. Not to mention Parker’s costume which would have concealed his body. All Joseph saw was a banana covered in blood on the floor” (Cathryn) “An interesting theory, but you’ve yet to prove anything, an outside party could have just picked the lock or broken the door down. How can you prove that Parker faked it all” (Rebecca) “It all comes down to the blood, or should I even call it that. If Parker is truly alive then something must have been used to fake the blood, and what was that exactly … candy apple coating. When I was running here I caught a glimpse of Sivayini’s body, she was stabbed in the chest but she was on her back so there wasn’t much bleeding, except for her legs. Her legs were covered in a hard red substance” (Cathryn) “That could have simply been Parker’s blood, he’s been dead for a while the blood could have hardened” (Rebecca) “Now you’re just stretching, everyone knows blood doesn’t harden that fast, but candy apple coating does. That’s why Sivayini was killed first if she was alive when the sauce hardened she would have known the blood was fake. The same goes for Joseph next, he was killed because he was the only one who actually saw the body. Emily was killed next because Parker was worried she would notice that Parker’s body had moved. I can only assume I would be next but lucky for me there’s a window right there and you’re to frail to stop me. Though I must admit it was a good plan with these you could kill as many of us as possible and still be safe if any of us escaped” (Cathryn) “Well done, I never thought someone could unravel our intricate mystery. Unfortunately for you, you made one grave miscalculation.” (Rebecca) “Oh really and what would that be” (Cathryn) “You assumed I wouldn’t get my hands dirty for the sake of my grandson” (Rebecca) “AHHH!! Dammit your tricks really did work I never thought that you would have a gun after Parker stabbed all those people … fuck … I’m sorry … all of you” (Cathryn) “Excellent work Grams, you led her right into our trap, what do you suppose we do now” (Parker) “I guess it’s time for us to make some candy apples with our new friends here” (Rebecca) The End
