The Babysitter
It was nine o'clock in the evening. Everybody was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. There were Kendall, James, Logan, Carlos, baby Katie and Kelly, the babysitter. The telephone rang.
"Maybe it's Mrs. Knight," said Kelly. She picked up the phone. Before she could say a word, a man laughed hysterically and hung up.
"Who was it?" asked little James.
"Someone crazy," said Kelly. "What did I miss?"
At nine-thirty the telephone rang again. Kelly answered it. It was the man who had called before. "I'll be there soon," he said, and he laughed and hung up.
"Who was it?" the children asked simultaneously. Big innocent eyes looking at her curiously.
"Some kids messing around," she said as she burped Katie, who was in her arms.
About ten o'clock the phone rang again. Kendall got it first.
"Hewo?," he said, voice small and adorable.
It was the same man. "One more hour," he said, and he laughed and hung up.
"He said, 'One more hour.' What does he mean?" asked the little blonde, brushing his messy bangs out of his face.
"Don't worry," said Kelly. "It's somebody fooling around." she dismisses it again.
"I'm sceowd," says Carlos, clutching his blankie tighter and scooting closer to Logan, who throws an arm around the slightly smaller boy.
.
About ten-thirty the telephone rang once more. When Kelly picked it up, the man said, "Pretty soon now," and he laughed.
"Why are you doing this?" Kelly screamed, and he hung rubbed her temples.
"Was it that guy again?" asked Logan.
."Yes," said Kelly. "I'm going to call the operator and complain."
The operator told her to call back if it happened again, and she would try to trace the call. That was a huge help…she thinks sarcastically.
At eleven o'clock the telephone rang again. Kelly answered it. "Very soon now," the man said, and he laughed and hung up.
Kelly called the operator. Almost at once she called back. "That person is calling from a telephone upstairs," she said. "You'd better leave. I'll get the police."
Kelly gasped in horror. She quickly grabbed Katie from her pen and told the kids to get up. She ushered them to the front door. Heart beating a mile a minute.
Just then a door upstairs opened. A man they had never seen before started down the stairs towards them. She yelled for them to run. And run like hell they did. As she ran out the door, she glanced back, the man was standing at the stairs and he was smiling in a very strange and eerie way.
The little boys ran across the street to the neighbors house. Kelly behind them yelling at them not to stop or look back. She knocked heavily at the door, the little boys' fists pounding as well, yelling in fear. Kelly looked back at the Knight home, the door was wide open. Finally the neighbor opened the door and they ran in.
Kelly was panting.
"What happened?" asked the alarmed woman.
"Someone broke into the house…please call the police." she managed to say in between heavy breaths. Kelly stood by the little boys, who were holding each other. Carlos and Logan being the smallest and the most frightened, smashed in between James and Kendall, Kendall was trying to be the brave "man" and comfort his scared friends, but his little body was trembling as well.
A few minutes later the police arrived.
"There was no one there ma'am." one of the officers said. Of course Kelly thought.
"We will leave two policemen here for the night to watch out."
"Thank you…I better call Mrs. Knight." said Kelly.
That night Mrs. Knight, refused to go back inside the house in fear of something happening, and that was the last time Kelly babysat for Mrs. Knight. Because that was the last night she was ever seen…
wow how original, sounds just like "When A Stranger Calls" I know, I know. But it was not supposed to be like that. Anyways this is the first installment of the "Big Time Scary Stories" series. I hope you enjoy it,. hope it scares you. This was a bit tame, just as you know the first story, the next one, I hope will be a lot more scarier. If you guys have any scary experiences or scary stories...you think you could message them to me? that's only if you want me to turn your experience/story into a BTR version. Kbye!
