Summary
Some nights, Tara swears she sees Amber. At the foot of the bed, in the corner of her eye, and even in the mirror she avoids.
It’s easier to believe a ghost is real than to accept she's alone.
And if love was the only thing keeping her here, then she wonders what happens when even that begins to fade.

Summary
Tara Carpenter is just trying to get through her first year of college unnoticed. But a brief, awkward encounter with a stranger at a local café quickly turns into something more than she expects. The girl—sharp-eyed, aloof, and clearly not interested in being friendly—doesn’t make the best first impression. Tara figures it's a one-off, but fate seems to have other plans.
As their paths continue to cross in unexpected ways, Tara starts to wonder if there’s more to the cold, indifferent stranger than meets the eye. She’s not the type to get caught up in petty drama, but something about their interactions keeps pulling her in. Is it just coincidence, or is there something beneath the surface?

Tara just doesn't give two shits about her social life and meets her polar opposite, amber freeman

Summary
She walks, takes out her burner phone, and calls Tara’s landline. It rings, and rings, and rings, and goes to voicemail. As expected. Not according to plan, however, is Tara ignoring her texts. It’s like she’s fallen off the planet. She had been heading down to the kitchen to make dinner, and now she was gone. It wasn’t like her.
Amber hesitates for a moment before calling her cell as herself, voice modifier off. There’s some strange feeling in her gut now. Something is not right. Tara always texts her back. She even has a stupid little Siri command for when she’s riding her bike for it to send: “Sorry, driving rn!!! Will get back to you soon!!!!”
Tara doesn’t answer. Her voicemail says: “Hi! This is Tara’s phone, and Tara can’t answer your call right now! I think texting her would be better, but, if you insist, leave a message at the—” It beeps, and Amber hangs up. Calls again. “Hi! This is Tara’s phone, and Tara can’t answer your call right now! I think texting her would be better, but, if you insist, leave a message at the—”

Summary
Tara Carpenter was devastated after her sister died.
Her mother could hardly stand to look at Tara when she returned. That was when she knew - she had to go. As soon as Tara was healthy, she left and changed everything about herself. Through travels, she changed herself - she dyed her hair black, refused to wear any colorful clothes (they could make an easy target), and familiarized herself with weapons. Tara also became cold, not wanting to make friends if the outcome would be more Ghostfaces chasing after her.
As she reached New Jersey, she began looking for a more permanent place to stay. So, she marched up to one of the nearby houses, and knocked.
Long story short, the family living there was the Addams family. When Tara vaguely explained her situation to them, they welcomed her, treating her as their own. They even helped her come up with an alibi.
Wednesday Addams.
OR: A Scream and Wednesday crossover AU, where Tara ultimately ends up as Wednesday. The plot is mostly similar to the Netflix series, the only difference is that instead of Tyler being a Hyde with Thornhill as his master, the two are both Ghostfaces, with Thornhill being the “lead” and Tyler as an accomplice.

Summary
Tara could count the ceiling tiles and bright fluorescent lights again, but she felt her sister's hand on her shoulder before she could.
"Chad will be fine, it's all over. And we should probably head home."
Tara looked back down at Chad and she felt herself stiffly nod. "Sorry." She doesn’t dive deeper into why she wanted to stay, as they both knew. When she stands up, the chair makes a screeeeeeech when it slides against the tile floor. She doesn't look away from Chad as she goes to leave. He seemed peaceful in his sleep, even with all the cords and beeping happening in the hospital room.
"Breaking news!" The TV in the top corner of the room sputters to life, completely changing from the romcoms it happened to be playing. "After the violent murders being put to rest in New York, two bodies have been identified as the Ghostface killers. Detective Wayne Bailey and his daughter Quinn Bailey-"
The TV seems to become a dull ringing in Tara's ears as her mind only focuses on one thing...
