The late night killings
Chapter one
"Why is it that when the clock strikes 10 o'clock these horrid advertisements come on!?!" Rachael quickly picked up the remote and changed the channel avoiding the disgusting ads that came on late at night. She surfed the channels looking for something decent to watch, nothing was on. Disappointed, Rachael got up and reluctantly walked to her bedroom.
Then a better idea popped up into her head. She stopped in her tracks and walked back into the lounge room and turned off the television. Then she trod over to the computer desk and turned on her laptop.
"Hmm? What is there to do?" Rachael often talked to her self when there was no one around. She thought for a moment then decided there was nothing better to do then to check her emails. She skimmed through the Diva alerts and vouchers and came to a stop at a message that said URGENT!
"Huh? Wow what is this?" For a moment she felt a little disorientated, wondering what this was, where it came from and why it was in her inbox.
Cautiously Rachael opened the email wondering if this was actually ment for her eyes to see? Why so URGENT?
She red over the message slowly, taking everything in bit by bit.
Rachael Ashfern. You have been made an offer to Stay Alive or to ignore this message and DIE. I have chosen you and specifically you for a job. You must dial 95824761 and persuade them to give you their email address. Do this any way you like just be sure to do it! There are consequences if you choose to ignore this. Do not take this as a joke. Do this and you shall live disobey me and I will kill you just as I did to your father.
Do this before 11pm and you are fine.
As she red this shivers ran down her back uncontrollably.
"WHAT! Who is this!!! How do they know me???"
Rachael thought about calling her mum but was indecisive. Leaving Rachael home alone was never a good idea but it was important as her grandma was in the hospital. She thought for a moment wondering whether this was a prank or not. Unconsciously she looked at the clock. It was 10.24 and Rachael's heart probably missed a beat as she stared at the clock. Then she checked who sent this disturbing email to her. To her surprise there was no address.
"What? How could Yahoo do this to me!!!"
Rachael suddenly started to panic. She didn't dare move from her seat. Paranoia suddenly washed over her. The beat of her heartbeat sped up and thoughts of murderers filled her head. She thought of her dad and the car accident that her mother explained to her many times before… Rachael didn't understand what was happening. She tried to carm herself down but she just could stop thinking of that message. She thought of playing solitaire to relax her. And slowly she started to thin rationally, well so she thought.
