Ep.196 – Prom Night of the Dead 3 of 4 - Why is EVERYONE Dying?!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:06.759
More bodies are piling up at Strickfield
High as it becomes clear someone or something

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:12.400
that's taking the lives of kids enrolled
in summer school. Could it be an

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:18.519
angry ghost seeking vengeance or a juvenile
delinquent who's gone too far? Find out

4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:27.079
in the third part of prom Night
of the Dead, what's that you want

5
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:39.719
to be scared? Come with me. You will experience tales over opera,

6
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:46.679
ghosts and death. It is not
recommended and for the weak at heart,

7
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:55.560
listen us in the dark. It's
more fun that way way. This is

8
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:07.120

9
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.959
that means. It's time for a
little spooky in your weekly. I'm your

10
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.239
host and narrator, Enrique Kuto,
and we have a very very exciting and

11
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:26.200
very chilling third part to our miniseries
prom Night of the Dead, all the

12
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.159
violence, intrigue and sex you've come
to expect from a good old Strickfield tale.

13
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.400
But before we get to that,
I just want to say thank you

14
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.519

program. Right now is what we call

15
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.400

when the diehards are listening, and that's

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.200
you. You love scary stories every
single week of the year, and not

17
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.200
just around Halloween or in the winter. No, no, no, your

18
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.000
thirst for the macabre simply cannot be
quenched. And I love that about you.

29
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.360
it's time for the third part of
this terrifying tome known as prom Night

30
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.800
of the Dead. Oh yes,
things are heating up at Strickfield High and

31
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.240
not just because the weather is warm, So get comfortable It's about time to

32
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.479
head to class, But first,
a very quick word from our lovely sponsors.

33
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:21.560
Previously, on prom Night of the
Dead months earlier, the prom at

34
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:27.039
Strickfield High School truly became a night
to remember when laure Lee Hardy murdered many

35
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.039
fellow students, including Lillian Johansson,
the front runner for the prom Queen Crown.

36
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.439
Two months later, several students are
taking summer school and things get stirred

37
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.360
up when Ronnie Brunswick arrives and creates
tension. She also lets it be known

38
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:46.800
that Lillian's body disappeared from the hospital
Morgue not long after her murder. At

39
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.360
the Feltler County Fair, Regal Fairline
meets up with her summer school teacher for

40
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.199
a forbidden love affair, and the
ghost of Lilian Johansson greets the lovers Regal

41
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.319
and Austin escape, only for Regal
to later find her dead lover as part

42
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.759
of a scene in the Haunted House. During Ronnie's time in summer school,

43
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.240
Principal Van Diste refuses to expel her. She reveals a knowledge of many dark

44
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.800
secrets involving her fellow students, dark
enough to have her possibly rack up a

45
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.720
body count Does she have a connection
to Lilian Johanson's ghost? After more victims,

46
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.480
Ronnie contacts Primrose Mirn. When Primrose
enters her home for safety, she

47
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.279
is seized by a mysterious assailant.
Did Ronnie finally come for Primrose looking to

48
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.879
show her the error of her ways? And now prom Night of the Dead

49
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:45.600
Part three by Rob Fields, Week
five, Friday Night. Primrose Mirren screamed

50
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.240
the top of her lungs as the
knife suddenly came down fast. Remembering that

51
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.360
Samuel Wormton was killed by Lilian Johansson's
ghost, she grabbed her assailant's wrist.

52
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.560
She groaned and fought back with fear
fueled stre and finally freed herself. When

53
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.279
Primrose got to her feet, her
attacker pursued her. Primrose screamed again as

54
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.360
she ran through her house. The
knife almost came down on her hand as

55
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.120
she used it to push off of
a lamp table. She saw there was

56
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.439
only one place she could run,
the locked, fancy French patio doors leading

57
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:26.079
out to the backyard. She knew
she had to save herself and it was

58
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.000
better to do what she had in
mind now and catch hell from her parents

59
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.399
later Primrose cried out for her life
as she crashed right through the doors.

60
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.519
She could feel the cuts on her
arms and legs as she reached the fence

61
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.600
on the other side of the in
ground swimming pool. She climbed the fence

62
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.560
and ran until she reached the main
gate, where she opened the side door

63
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:59.560
and escaped. Final week Monday morning
on Saturday morning, Primrose certainly did catch

64
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.920
hell from her parents for the damage
they saw in the house upon coming home.

65
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.759
After she explained what had happened,
they eased off her. They knew

66
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.759
their daughter well enough to know she
wouldn't lie to them about someone attacking her.

67
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.160
Her parents called the police, resulting
in Primrose answering several questions. When

68
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.120
she told the police what had happened
in the alley next to the Strickfield Centennial

69
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.800
Theater, omitting the details about Lillian
Johansson, they told her they would investigate

70
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.800
it. When the police left,
Primrose was taken to Strickfield General Hospital and

71
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:40.879
was treated for her injuries, mostly
scratches and minor cuts. After coming back

72
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.439
home, Primrose cleaned up and stayed
home for the rest of the weekend.

73
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.279
She hadn't gotten much sleep, which
showed when she returned to Strickfield High School

74
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.720
on Monday. As soon as Primrose
walked into Room twelve, she immediately caught

75
00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.600
the menacing look from Ronnie Brunswick.
Primrose gulped when she remembered her attacker was

76
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.199
definitely female, in spite of being
completely covered in all black. Now,

77
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.240
she wondered if it had been Ronnie. But Ronnie wouldn't have covered up like

78
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.720
that, would she. She was
always so direct and never back down from

79
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.680
anybody, especially Principal Vandiste. Primrose
took her seat and choked when she saw

80
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:29.600
Samuel Wormton's empty seat, knowing she
would never see him again except possibly at

81
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.279
his funeral. Okay, she was
paying him to write her papers. As

82
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.839
far as she was concerned. It
was her money to do with as she

83
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.480
liked, and she knew everybody else, including the principle himself, had done

84
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.279
something discreet in their time. Sure
she was guilty of cheating, She was

85
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.800
guilty of a lot of things,
but who wasn't This was going to be

86
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:03.000
a very, very long three hours. At the break, Primrose saw Ronnie

87
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.199
march right into the library and point
right at her. As she was looking

88
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:13.759
at the yearbook, Primrose became scared
and ran from the library. She didn't

89
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.160
get very far when Ronnie yanked on
her strawberry blonde hair and shoved her into

90
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.160
an empty classroom. Ronnie pulled the
door shut behind her, then pressed herself

91
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.759
up against her. Prey, you
afraid of me, little Primrose, You

92
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.639
should be, you fucking cheater.
Primrose tried to compose herself. Okay,

93
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.679
I'm a cheater, but you are
a drug dealer and a whore. Ronnie

94
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.200
smirked, And it was people like
you who put me there, funny thing,

95
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.159
It's also people like you who find
people like me when you need uppers

96
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:54.360
for ballet recitals. Then you needed
adderall to win Miss Strickfield at the County

97
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.440
Fair last year. Then you was
wanting Coke to win the election for student

98
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:05.159
council president next year. What do
you want, Primrose asked weekly. What

99
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.799
you owe for everything I hooked you
up with. I gave them to you

100
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.440
on credit because you're a mirn,
which means you were good for it.

101
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.200
But you've been avoiding me, rich
girl. What you can pay your nerdy

102
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.159
lover for doing your homework but you
can't pay me. They stared into each

103
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:28.960
other's eyes for a long moment.
Then Primrose nodded, yeah, I can

104
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.799
pay you. What do I owe
you? Ronnie smiled sweetly. Now ten

105
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.080
Primrose's eyes and mouth widened. Ten
grand for the drugs, three grand for

106
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.480
the drugs I gave you so far, and a grand for every week of

107
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:50.360
summer school for keeping my mouth shut
about you cheating, including this week.

108
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.360
You pay up, your secret stays
safe and if not. Ronnie took out

109
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.879
her smartphone and showed Primrose the footage
she captured of her and Samuel making their

110
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.840
exchange in the alley next to the
Centennial Theater from that fateful night. And

111
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.120
I got a few more of these
just like it. Primrose started to cry

112
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.120
a little now, then she nodded, okay. When Primrose opened her purse

113
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.679
and pulled out her money, Ronnie
snatched it and counted it out. Wow,

114
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.679
four grand. I'm surprised you carry
that kind of money on you.

115
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.879
Then she smiled, I'll call this
an installment. Always a pleasure doing business

116
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.799
with you, little Primrose. So
I just owe you another five grand.

117
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.279
Then Primrose inquired, Ronnie laughed,
Nah, you still owe me six due

118
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:50.200
on Friday. Primrose gasped, what's
the extra thousand four. Ronnie quickly placed

119
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.399
a pharmaceutical container in her hand for
these. You really look like shit.

120
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.200
She held Primrose's hand tightly. You
don't pay me the final sixth grand,

121
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.720
She showed Primrose her switchblade. I'll
cut a slash on your arm for every

122
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.879
day you miss a payment as a
reminder you get real delinquent. I'll just

123
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.679
cut your fucking heart out, and
then I'll post every video I got of

124
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.519
you on social media. You hearing
me, rich girl? She retracted the

125
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.360
blade. Now get the fuck out
of my face. Ronnie stepped aside and

126
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.120
let Primrose leave. She knew she
had time to get a few lines of

127
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.559
cocaine in before going back to class. She didn't really need it, but

128
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.879
she was feeling really sweet at the
moment. With all that cash in her

129
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.879
pocket and knowing much more was coming, she could certainly treat herself today.

130
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.639
When the next break came, Ronnie
targeted Regal fair Lane and followed her to

131
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.159
see her going into an empty classroom. As Regal pulled the door shut,

132
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.279
Ronnie suddenly came into the room with
her. What's the matter, Preppy,

133
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.480
still missing your sexy? Teach your
boy friend? Ronnie asked, pulling the

134
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.879
door shut behind her. What Regal
choked out, Ronnie smiled, yeah,

135
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.480
I know all about you, fucking
mister Zachary. In fact, Ronnie had

136
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.639
her smartphone and showed Regal the footage
she captured of them meeting at the Strickfield

137
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.159
County Fair the night Austin was killed. Regal became dizzy when she saw some

138
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.320
of the rather NSFW content from inside
the haunted house. Ronnie knew everything.

139
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.840
She stopped the video. He wasn't
fucking him for grades, so what's up

140
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.799
with you? Regal groaned, No, it wasn't for grades. I like

141
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.960
older men. I'm not going into
my sex life with you. Ronnie sighed

142
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.559
romantically. Nice. You got a
fetish, we all got him, But

143
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.879
that ain't all I want to talk
to you about. Preppy. You owe

144
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.440
me green for those quality caffeine pills
you wanted around mid terms in finals week

145
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.360
during the regular school year. I
let you pay me with a night of

146
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.000
hot sex after midterms because we were
both in the mood, so I ain't

147
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.480
counting that, but you still owe
me for finals week? How much?

148
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.960
Regal asked five hundred for the pills. Ronnie smirked her evil smirk, and

149
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.279
a thousand for each of these six
weeks of summer school that I didn't post

150
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.799
this video to social media, So
you owe me sixty five hundred altogether.

151
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.519
I don't have that kind of money. Regal shrieked. I can pay you

152
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.559
for the pills, but the rest
that's extortion. She put her hands to

153
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.240
her head in frustration. Why,
Ronnie, what the hell did I ever

154
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.559
do to you? Ronnie smirked again. How about when you stole Daddy's money

155
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.279
to buy ecstasy from me when you
wanted to fuck on it with your teacher

156
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.080
back on your birthday. Yeah,
lookye here, I got that one on

157
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.120
my phone too, extra steamy.
And when Daddy cornered you about the missing

158
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.759
green, you told him I broke
in and lifted it, didn't you?

159
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.960
The popo couldn't hang it on me? But I knew you fucked me,

160
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:13.759
only fair I fucked you back.
Ronnie showed Regal her switchblade and gave her

161
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.159
the same threats she made to Primrose
Mirror in one break earlier. Then she

162
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.000
finished by asking Regal, now you
got the green to give me today.

163
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.399
Regal felt sick to her stomach from
seeing Ronnie's videos of her and Austin,

164
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.639
but she immediately paid Ronnie the money
for the drugs. After that, Ronnie

165
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.240
opened the door for Regal and let
her walk out. From there, the

166
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:50.519
two girls walked back to class final
week Tuesday. After school, Primrose met

167
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.879
up with Regal in the old abandoned
rail yard on the outskirts of the village.

168
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.679
Primrose had seen Regal and Ronnie walking
back into the classroom together the day

169
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.480
before or having a pretty good idea
of what had transpired between them, she

170
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.879
contacted Regal and arranged a meeting.
The girls confided in each other about why

171
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.480
they were in trouble with Ronnie.
I can't afford to pay six thousand dollars,

172
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.879
Regal told Primrose. Now I'll have
to stay out in the open so

173
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.720
Ronnie won't catch me alone somewhere.
I can't even go into a restroom anywhere,

174
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.559
knowing Ronnie will corner me for her
blackmail money. I know what you

175
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.519
mean, Primrose replied, I can
pay her for sure, but I'm not

176
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.679
going to the money for the drugs
was enough. I won't pay for blackmail.

177
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.919
At least you didn't have to pay
her with sex. Regal muttered,

178
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.120
I'm not into girls, especially skanky
ones like Ronnie Brunswick. You could have

179
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.159
fooled me. Regal. You know
damn well you loved it. A familiar

180
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.320
voice interrupted. You even wanted some
hot morning sects. Regal and Primrose gasped

181
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.360
when they saw Ronnie approaching them.
She still had her eyes locked on Regal.

182
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.039
Okay, I ain't no good girl, but I take great care of

183
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.639
my body. Men pay big money
for a hot piece of ass like me.

184
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.399
Ronnie brought out two switchblades and sprang
them to life. You two ain't

185
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.960
paying up, That's fine. Like
I said, I'm taking both your fucking

186
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.120
hearts. She opened her eyes wide. Hey, I can be the new

187
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:33.960
Queen of Heart's killer right here in
Strickfield. Run Regal, Primrose screamed.

188
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:38.279
The two girls turned and ran.
They heard Ronnie laughing maniacally behind them.

189
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.759
Ronnie hadn't done any cocaine today,
but she sure could act like she had.

190
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.440
Contrary to what people thought, Ronnie
knew her limits on drugs and never

191
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.320
overindulged. In fact, she only
ever did cocaine as her drug of choice,

192
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.559
okay, maybe also some pot.
She never did any of the other

193
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.000
drugs she sold. She got off
on fear more than anything else, and

194
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.920
these girls were just priceless. Regal
and Primrose were quite surprised at how fast

195
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.279
Ronnie could run and keep up with
them, even in her stiletto heels.

196
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:17.079
Ronnie managed to chase her targets on
to Indian Hollow Road. At one point,

197
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:22.640
both girls split up. Ronnie continued
pursuing Regal. After several minutes,

198
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.880
Regal reached a wooden fence and climbed
over it into a field. Regal ran

199
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.039
onto the soft, freshly plowed soil
and found it harder and harder to run.

200
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.480
Seeing this, Ronnie took her time
climbing over the fence. Then she

201
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.680
seemingly just walked until she caught up
to her prey. Regal cried out when

202
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.920
Ronnie shoved her and made her fall
onto her back. Then Ronnie sat on

203
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.680
her and smirked, Now, preppy, I want another look at that sizzling

204
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.160
body of yours before I cut your
heart out, Ronnie purred, cutting off

205
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.480
the top button on Regal's blouse.
That's what you get for trying to fuck

206
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:07.400
me over. Regal began to cry, now, please no stop, A

207
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.400
voice called out. Ronnie looked up
and saw the guy running towards them.

208
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:18.480
When he got close enough, Ronnie
recognized him immediately. You Ronnie never fought

209
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.640
Derek masters when he cautiously took her
switchblades, she even let him help her

210
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.720
get off of Regal and back onto
her feet. Then he took Regal's hand

211
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:32.359
and helped her up to Oh,
thank god, thank you so much,

212
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.079
Derek, Regal cried, please help
me. Derek nodded, I got this,

213
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.920
go on home, Regal. Regal
nodded quickly and made her way back

214
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:48.480
to the fence. After climbing back
over it, she soon disappeared. Derek

215
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.599
turned to his girlfriend, Why are
you like this, Ronnie? What happened

216
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:59.759
to you? As always, he
was so unbelievably calm. Ronnie had never

217
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.359
felt so vulnerable in her entire life. She really didn't know how to fight

218
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:08.200
Derek, and she had brawled with
many guys in her life. Somehow,

219
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.759
this guy she had met day one
in summer school had stolen her heart.

220
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.839
He truly cared about her in spite
of the fact that she was trouble.

221
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.400
Now he had made her see how
dark her soul truly was, and she

222
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:27.079
began to cry. Derek and Ronnie
held each other long enough for her to

223
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.960
cry out her pent up rage from
the years of hell. She endured to

224
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:37.240
harden her the way she was,
and then Derek lifted her teary eyes to

225
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:44.279
his and kissed her tenderly. Ronnie
completely submitted to him and kissed him back.

226
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.359
When they finished, Derec took her
hand and walked her to the farmhouse

227
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.039
where he lived with his family.
As many times as Derec had been to

228
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.559
Ronnie's apartment at Strickfield Cove, she
hadn't been able to seduce him to her

229
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.160
bed, and she took care of
her apart the same way she took care

230
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.799
of her body. But now she
had the feeling they would finally be going

231
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:14.799
to bed real soon. Primrose kept
running until she came back to Strickfield High

232
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.240
School. She hoped she could get
inside the building and lose Ronnie. She

233
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.680
had never been so scared of any
one individual in all her life. Okay

234
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.839
too, she still remembered Lillian Johansson's
ghost from in the alley next to the

235
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.359
Strickfield Centennial Theater four days earlier.
Primrose found one of the back doors open

236
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.200
and went into the school. It
was the middle of the afternoon, so

237
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.440
only a select few faculty members would
likely be inside, or maybe a custodian.

238
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.519
She came out into the hallway and
thought about running into the gymnasium to

239
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.880
hide from Ronnie. There she pulled
on both sets of doors to find they

240
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.400
were quite locked. Can I help
you, dear, a voice called out.

241
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.200
Primrose looked and saw the drama instructor
Devin Decker approaching her. I'm sorry,

242
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.400
the gymnasiums closed until the end of
the week. Someone's chasing me.

243
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.759
Primrose quickly told her. Who's chasing
you? Devon asked suspiciously. She's going

244
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.960
to kill me. Devin eased Primrose
into her arms. Nobody's going to kill

245
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.640
you here, dear. Primrose quickly
tore away from Devon. How can you

246
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.480
say that? Then she laughed and
spun around with her arms outstretched. People

247
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:33.799
died here at the prom from hell. Devin sighed, Come with me.

248
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:38.279
You need to get yourself together.
Devin escorted Primrose to the little theater and

249
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.960
had her sit in one of the
seats. After she had finished crying,

250
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.839
she looked up at her savior.
Thank you, Miss Decker, Primrose whispered,

251
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.079
It's quite all right. Dear,
Devin replied. Then Primrose recognized Devin

252
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.599
a little more. I do know
you. You were close to Lily and

253
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:04.680
Johnson. I'm close to a lot
of people, Devin replied. Primrose shook

254
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.160
her head. I've seen you with
Lilian lots of times when she was alive.

255
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.599
I walked by your house and saw
you getting her ready for prom.

256
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.759
It was Lilian's first prom. She
trusted me to make her look as beautiful

257
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.480
and lovely as possible. I'm quite
certain she was her class's choice to win

258
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.000
the junior crown. Had she won
it, she would have automatically been nominated

259
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:33.599
for the senior class crown at next
year's prom. She sighed, it's still

260
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.799
upsetting what Laura Lee Hardy had done
on Prom night. Because of her,

261
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.799
no prom queens were ever crowned.
I'm so sorry, Primrose said, sadly,

262
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:52.319
me too. Devin patted Primrose's shoulder. Come on, dear, I'll

263
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.680
take you home. Primrose brightened up. Really don't you have work to do

264
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:04.759
here? But tomorrow's another day and
I'm nearly finished. Anyway. From there,

265
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:15.240
Miss Decker and Primrose left the little
theater. Derek held Ronnie after they

266
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:21.000
finished making love. Ronnie still found
herself crying at times. She confided in

267
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.000
Derek about how her parents had abandoned
her when they felt she was old enough

268
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.799
to get on by herself at the
age of ten. From there, she

269
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.279
had to become street smart to be
able to live. My parents are both

270
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:38.279
from money, Derek, Ronnie finished. They abandoned me because they ain't.

271
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.200
Never wanted no kid. That's why
I say rich people put me where I

272
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:48.359
am. She sighed, I fucking
hate my life. Derek caressed the side

273
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.599
of her face. Maybe I can
help. Why don't you come and work

274
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:59.440
here? Ronnie looked up at him. What My Dad's always looking for people

275
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.960
to come work on the farm here, Derek explained. That's why I'm still

276
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.559
here. Dad'll give you room and
board and you'll be paid good. You

277
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.079
can even learn about farming while you're
out there. It'll be kind of like

278
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:17.799
go into college. Ronnie pondered it. I don't know. He looked her

279
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.480
in the face. Then ask yourself
if you want to keep doing what you're

280
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.039
doing for the rest of your life. Ronnie quickly turned her back to him.

281
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.319
I've killed people, Derek. I
ain't cold blooded, but I've killed

282
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.359
people if it was either me or
the motherfucker wanting to kill me in a

283
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.240
fight for my life, I choose
me. She started crying again. Just

284
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.279
go call the fucking popo to come
get me. I ain't running. Derek

285
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.880
turned her back to him and held
her again. Look me in the eyes

286
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.880
and tell me you never murdered anyone
because you wanted to. Ronnie quickly pulled

287
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.039
away. Never. Yeah, I
told people I'd kill them if they didn't

288
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.160
pay what they owed, but that
always scares him enough to make them pay.

289
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:08.759
I would have never really hurt Primrose
or Regal, she sighed. I

290
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.400
did lots of things. I ain't
proud of, Derek. You're really thinking

291
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.240
I can just change. Come work
with you on your dad's farm, Stay

292
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.000
here with you, loving you,
be in your honey, He caressed the

293
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.599
side of her face. You can
change if you want to. It's really

294
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:33.480
that easy. Derek knew he had
his answer when she lowered herself and kissed

295
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:40.720
him. Then they made love again. Primrose left her house, thinking whoever

296
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.160
attacked her there before might come for
her again, possibly Ronnie. She didn't

297
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.400
want to involve her parents any further
than they already were. She left the

298
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:55.640
gated community and went into downtown Strickfield. She knew she'd be okay with people

299
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.880
and lights. She decided she would
go to Roth's Rings, four hour donut

300
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.599
shop and video game arcade. She
knew she would be safe there for sure.

301
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:11.680
As she started to pass an alley, she saw someone leaning oddly against

302
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:18.039
the wall. The shape looked feminine. Hey, are you all right,

303
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.519
Primrose called out. When the girl
suddenly fell onto her back, Primrose ran

304
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:29.000
into the alley to help. Upon
reaching the girl, her hands went to

305
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:34.680
her mouth as she screamed. Upon
seeing the dead body of Regal fair Lane,

306
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:41.039
there were two empty syringes right next
to her. Oh God, you

307
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.920
fucking crazy bitch, Ronnie, she
yelled. Primrose turned and ran further into

308
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:52.160
the alley when she suddenly found she
didn't have her smartphone. She could get

309
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.039
to the police station in minutes and
be safe, so she soon turned down

310
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.599
the connecting alley leading to the Strickfield
Centennial Theater. Then she stopped when she

311
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:07.319
remembered it was there that Samuel Wormton
died. She sank to her knees and

312
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:12.960
began to cry, Primrose. A
haunting, familiar voice sang, Primrose.

313
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.839
Primrose, looked up and saw the
glowing ghost of Lilian Johansson walking towards her.

314
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.279
No, Primrose wailed as the ghost
laughed horribly. She wanted to get

315
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:32.039
up and run, but she was
too exhausted with grief and weariness and petrified

316
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.720
with fear as she held herself.
Now, the ghost was soon right in

317
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.920
front of her. Didn't anyone ever
teach you that it's wrong to do drugs,

318
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.799
Primrose, the ghost taunted her.
Regal just learned that lesson. Now

319
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.480
it's time for you to learn too. The ghost produced a large filled syringe

320
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:56.440
in each hand. Say no to
drugs. Primrose's final scream was cut off

321
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.640
when the ghost lowered herself and jammed
the needles right into her neck. The

322
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:08.160
last thing Primrose Mirror would ever feel
were the lethal drugs squirting into her system.

323
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.680
Primrose was dead before the syringes were
even empty. The ghost finished emptying

324
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:22.559
them before pulling them out and dropping
them beside Primrose's corpse. Lily and Johansson

325
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:30.240
laughed coldly and looked down at her
body. Death doesn't end here for you

326
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:36.160
or Regal. Dear, you two
still have one final event you must attend

327
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:48.160
before you can go to your graves. Well, I know I'm certainly dying

328
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.519
pardon the phrasing, to find out
what happens, what's really going on at

329
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:59.079
Strickfield High during the summer vacation.
Is the killer truly the specter of a

330
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:04.759
prim queen hopeful out for revenge,
or is something more human and more diabolical

331
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.200
going on. You'll have to come
back next week to find out, as

332
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:14.200
we have the thrilling conclusion of prom
Night of the Dead. But for now

333
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.200
you'll have to have a week of
suspense, and I know that's truly truly

334
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.000
terrifying. I do want to remind
you. Next Monday is Monthly Spooky,

335
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.559
our two hour talk show all about
the spookier side of life, so make

336
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.240
sure you check it out. This
Monday, myself and Michelle will be talking

337
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.559
all about some topics I have a
feeling you'll truly enjoy. I have to

338
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.160
be honest, as I'm recording this, I have been sick with a stomach

339
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.200
flu for almost five days, so
it's a miracle I got this show out.

340
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.799
But I'm glad I could because there's
very little in life I love as

341
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.079
much as doing the show, and
that is not just some bs. I

342
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.480
already have a job some people call
a dream job. Well this this is

343
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.599
a very much bonus to that.
And speaking of I want to say an
