Prologue:
"So, I thought about the sleepover now, how about let's have a theme; Halloween is still far, but, maybe we can name our theme Spooky Sleepover, huh, just for the chills?" Jane said to Tasha. We can make scary designs on your wall!" She fanned herself with both her hands, "My gosh! I'm gonna tell the others..." And just continued speaking.
Tasha just rolled her eyes as they stopped in front of her house. She and Jane were talking about the sleepover party they were having this weekend. However, Tasha stopped listening; Jane is such a blabbermouth and sometimes she just cannot stand it anymore.
She was looking at a letter that was in a black envelope, enclosed with a skull sticker with blood-red heart. It had no address but she guessed it was for her
'I guess it's from an admirer.' She thought and looked behind her. It somehow gave her the chills as if someone was watching her but she ignored the feeling. She looked at the letter again and put it inside her body bag, planning to open it later.
Then Jane stopped talking and looked at the letter too "Hey, are you still listening? You've been looking at that letter since we started talking, you know."
"No. So? I got this letter in our mailbox this morning." Tasha answered. Then smiling grimly at Jane, added, "So, do you still have any questions?"
Jane breathed in but Tasha held up her hand and said goodbye. Jane looked offended. She rolled her eyes, made a "Whatever, Loser!" sign and walked away.
"Alright, nice idea, just tell the other girls to come at the sleepover. " Tasha called out after her. She sighed and went inside her house.
Inside, her parents were upstairs but her little brother was there in the living room, watching TV. Good thing he was going at their aunt's house for the weekend before the sleepover party. He saw Tasha and made a face, "So your home. Took you a long time, I needed to go to Jeff's house tonight. He got—"
He stopped mid-sentence and just said, "Whatever, Mom just said I can't go until you come home." He jumped up from his seat, "And, well, you're here already, so, see yah!" He got his sweater and walked to the door. "Just tell Mom I've gone out and that she and Dad be careful on their business trip."
Tasha was not listening that much to her brother; she was busy looking at the TV. There was a flash report about a boy murdered at his own house; but the last thing that her little brother said was caught in her mind.
She chased after him, shouted his name and asked him, "What did you just said, about Mom and Dad going out?"
Her brother turned to look at her. "Today is their business trip, it's overnight. They told us last week, remember?" He said rudely, putting his hands inside his jacket pockets.
When Tasha did not reply, he sighed, "You don't remember, do you. Tasha, you're really not a good listener you know that? And of you don't change that attitude, it could get you into trouble and you'll be sorry, so you should stop and listen now, okay?" He turned his back on Tasha and started to walk away.
Tasha, insulted, "You don't tell me what to do!" She shouted at her little brother. "You're dead once you get home later..." She rolled her eyes and went back inside.
&&&&&&
"The heck? Is this a real TV?" Tasha muttered to herself as she was flipping on all the channels but cannot find anything good to watch. Her parents left an hour ago telling her instructions and some rules as she was going to be home alone. She turned the TV off and remembered the letter. She got her body bag, pulled out the letter, and started to open it then started to read.
After awhile, she threw the letter to the floor, annoyed.
"Aughh! What a stupid letter, and to think that I thought it was from an admirer, "Tasha turned on the TV again. It was on the news again and another murder story came up. While watching, Tasha felt the chills she felt last time, the time she was looking at the letter, but she just ignored it and became more annoyed at what she read in the letter.
Suddenly, there were loud footsteps from upstairs and a door shut closed. Tasha sat up, and her heart started beating faster.
'What's that?' She thought as she looked at the stairs. The footsteps came closer like it was coming downstairs. Tasha looked around for a weapon and found her little brother's baseball bat. She took it and stood up. The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Tasha was looking at the stairs and then at the door and then at the phone. 'If I could go outside, I can escape. It's too late to make a phone call...but...the door,' Tasha's heart was beating faster than ever and her head was spinning. She was very nervous as she started to walk towards the door slowly and holding the bat tightly in front of her.
Then the footsteps were near, Tasha felt like it was right in front of her. She looked at the door, her head spinning and she was so scared. Just as she was getting to the door, she saw a shadow.
She felt like she was about to cry, trembling with fear, she inched her way to the door and looked back at the living room. Her eyes fell at the letter on the floor. She remembered what was written inside.
The footsteps stopped. Tasha's heart stopped.
&&&&&&
That night, it rained hard and Tasha's little brother got stranded in Jeff's house until the next day.
He got to his house the next day, as he was approaching the front porch; he remembered what his sister said to him last night. "You're dead once you get home later..." Her sister's voice echoed in his mind. Somehow, he suddenly felt creepy and had goose bumps.
When he got inside, he suddenly knew why. He knew that his sister was wrong of what she said the last time, he was sure of it. As he stared at the bloody lifeless corpse of Tasha.
