*Ring….Ring….Ring*
"Hello." Casey Becker said answering the phone
"Hello?" A strange male voice replied
"Yes?"
"Who is this?"
"Well who are you trying to reach?" She asked back
"What number is this?" The voice asked
"What number are you trying to reach?" Casey asked again
"I don't know."
"Well I think you have the wrong number." Casey told him
"Do I?"
"It happens, take it easy." Casey said then hung up then turned to walk away when the phone rang again. She walked back over and picked up the phone again
"Hello." She said
"I'm sorry I guess I dialed the wrong number." It was the same man from before
"So why did you dial it again?" Casey asked getting frustrated
"To apologize."
"You're forgiven bye now." Casey said then started to hang up
"Wait, wait don't hang up." The voice said
"What?"
"Want to talk to you for a second."
"They got 900 numbers for that, see ya." She said then hung up. She brushed off the phone call thinking it was just some creep who was board and continued what she was doing. She walked into her kitchen and put some popcorn on the stove, when the phone rang again.
"Ugh." She said then grabbed the cordless
"Hello."
"Why don't you want to talk to me?" It was the same guy
"Who is this?" She asked
"You tell me your name and I'll tell you mine." He replied, making Casey roll her eyes
"I don't think so." She said while shaking up the packet of popcorn
"What's that noise?"
"Popcorn."
"You're making popcorn?" He asked
"Uh-huh."
"I only eat popcorn at movies."
"Well I'm getting ready to watch a video."
"Really? What?" He asked
"Just some scary movie." Casey said
"You like scary movies?"
"Uh-huh." Casey said
"What's your favorite scary movie?"
"Um I don't know." Casey said leaning on the kitchen counter
"Come on you have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?" He pushed
"Um Halloween! You know the one with the guy in the white mask that's stalks babysitters." Casey said
"Yeah."
"What's yours?" She asked
"Guess."
"Um…..Nightmare on Elm Street!"
"Is that the one where the guy had knives for fingers?" He asked
"Yeah Freddy Krueger."
"Freddy that's right, I like that movie it was scary."
"Well the first one was the rest sucked." Casey said into phone as she walked around
"So you got a boyfriend?" He asked
"Why? You want to ask me out on a date?" Casey said flirtatiously
"Maybe….. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No." She lied
"You never told me your name."
"Why do you want to know my name?"
"Because I want to know who I'm looking at." He said making Casey freeze
"What did you just say?"
"I wanna know who I'm talking to."
"That's not what you said." Casey said looking around. She turned on the patio lights and didn't see anyone in the backyard
"What do you think I said?" The guy asked
"What? Hello?" The guy said
"Look I got to go." Casey said
"Wait I thought we were gonna go out?"
"I don't think so." Casey said locking the patio door
"Don't hang up on me!" He said angrily as Casey hung up. Then she went back into the kitchen to check on the popcorn when the phone rang again.
"Shit." She said to herself then answered the phone
"Yes!" She snapped into the phone
"I told you not to hang up on me." The man snapped
"What do you want?" Casey asked on the verge of freaking out
"To talk." He said simply
"Well dial someone else." Casey said then hung up again. Then she continued into the kitchen, she was about to take the popcorn off the stove when the phone rang again.
"LISTEN ASSHOLE-"
"NO YOU LISTEN YOU LITTLE BITCH! YOU HANG UP ON ME AGAIN AND I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH UNDERSTAND?" He yelled into the phone
"Is this some kind of joke?" Casey asked trying to stay calm
"More of a game really…can you handle that? Blondie." He said then Casey ran around the house locking all of the doors. Once the front door was locked she looked outside through the little windows in the door but she didn't see anything or anyone
"Can you see me?" He asked
"Listen I am two seconds away from calling the police." Casey said while trying not to cry.
"They'd never make it in time, we're in the middle of nowhere."
"What do you want?" Casey cried
"To see what your insides look like." He said and she started to cry and hung up the phone. Just then the doorbell rang making her jump as she let out a scream.
"Who's there? Who's there? I'm calling the police." She cried and grabbed the phone just as it rang again. She jumped and screamed again knowing it was him calling again but she still answered
"You should never say 'who's there' don't you watch scary movies it's a death wish. You might as well just come here to investigate a strange noise or something." He said as Casey cried harder
"Look you've had your fun now, you should just leave or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else my boyfriend will be here any second and he'll be pissed when he finds out."
"Thought you didn't have a boyfriend?" He said
"I lied! I do have a boyfriend and he'll be here any second so your ass better be gone."
"Sure, sure." He teased
"I swear! HE'S BIG AND HE PLAYS FOOTBALL AND HE'LL KICK THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!" Casey screamed into the phone and at the door.
"I'm getting scared I'm shaking in my boots."
"So you better just leave." Casey cried
"And his name wouldn't be Steve would it?" He said and Casey froze
"How do you know his name?"
"Turn on the patio lights…again." He said, Casey did as she was told. Once the lights were on her heart stopped at the sight of Steve duck taped to a chair
"OH GOD!" She screamed as she unlocked the door prepared to go out and help him
"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" He snapped and she froze
"Where are you?" She asked
"Guess."
"Please don't hurt him." She cried
"That's all up to you." He said
"Why are you doing this?" She asked
"I wanna play a game."
"No." She cried
"Then your boyfriend dies right now!"
"NO! NO! PLEASE!"
"Yes or no which is it?"
"Which is it?" He asked again
"What kind of game?" Casey asked feeling trapped
"Turn off the light and you'll see what kind of game…just do it!" He snapped when she hesitated. She felt so much guilt when she saw the panic on Steve's face before she shut off the lights and she could hear his muffled screams. She turned off the lights and crouched down in between the T.V and the bookcase
"Alright here how that game goes, I ask a question if you get it right Steve lives."
"Please don't do this."
"Come on it'll be fun and it's an easy category movie trivia, I'll even give you a warm up question."
"Don't do this I can't." Casey begged but he just ignored her
"Name the killer in Halloween. Come on it's your favorite scary movie remember, he had a white mask, stalked the babysitters."
"I don't know. I just can't."
"Oh come on yes you do. What his name? Come on Steve's counting on you."
"Michael. Michael Meyers."
"Yes! Now for the real question."
"NO!" She screamed
"But you're doing so great, we can't stop now."
"Please leave us alone."
"Then answer the question." He said in a serious tone
"Now same category." He continued
"Please stop." Casey cried
"Name the killer in Friday the 13th." He said and Casey jumped up before he even finished
"JASON! IT'S JASON! JASON!" She shouted
"I'm sorry that the wrong answer."
"No it's not it was Jason!"
"I'm afraid not. No way."
"LISTEN IT WAS JASON I SAW THAT MOVIE TWENTY GODDAMN TIMES!" Casey scream into the phone
"THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW JASON'S MOTHER MRS. VOORHEES WAS THE ORGINAL KILLER! JASON DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL THE SEQUAL!" He shouted back at her
"Now I'm afraid that was a wrong answer." He said in a calm tone
"You tricked me." She cried
"Lucky for you there a bonus round, but poor Steve I'm afraid he's out." He said
Then Casey heard Steve scream through the tape. She quickly turned on the lights again to see Steve dead, his stomach my cut open and his intestines where hanging out. Casey became hysterical and fell to the ground then she heard a laugh come through the phone. She quickly crawled back to her hiding spot. Then the voice spoke again
"Hey we're not done yet….Final question. Are you ready?"
"Please, please, please just leave me alone." Casey cried
"Answer the question and I will….What door am I at?"
"What?"
"There are two main doors to your house the front door and the patio doors. If you answer correctly you may live, it's very simple." He said and Casey reached up and grabbed a letter opener
"Don't do this I can't, I won't."
"Your call." He said
Then a chair was thrown through the patio doors, Casey got up and ran into the kitchen. She stood so her back was to the counters and she could see the house. She glanced to the left and saw a black cape moving though out her house. She grabbed a knife from the block then she crept backwards toward one of the backdoors. She looked and saw the black figure moving, she quietly opened the door and stepped out onto the patio. She hid against the wall, still clutching the phone and the knife. She was trying to stay quiet between her crying and shaking, she looked in the window and saw the black figure moving around the house looking for her. She bent down and began slowly moving under the windows, she peaked up in on the windows to find the figure standing there. She was about to run when he turned and face her. Casey began screaming when he broke the glass and grabbed her arm holding the knife he broke the rest of the glass as he reached for her. Casey raised her other arm and hit him in the face with a phone. He let her go and stumble back giving Casey a chance to make a run for it, she ran down the patio and came face to face with Steve's body again. She froze in place for a second then kept running she ran around the corner to see her parents pulling into the driveway. She let out a breath of relief thinking she was safe, when she was tackled from behind by the killer. Casey pushed him off and tried to make a run for it but he grabbed her from behind, he put a hand over her mouth and using his other arm he stabbed her in the chest. Then she fell to the ground he raised the knife again but she knocked it away. He wrapped his arms around her throat choking her. Casey was struggling to get away, she mustered up her last bit of strength and kneed him in the groin. He fell over in pain, and Casey struggled to get on her feet. Once she was standing up she stumbled to the front of her house where she saw her parents walking to the front door.
"Mom!" She tried to scream but her voice was gone and they just walked into the house. The killer came up behind her and knocked her to the ground. She stared up at the ghost face mask that was looking down at her, she had to know who it was. She raised her hand and pulled the mask off and he just let her. She couldn't believe it! She never thought in a million years he would ever hurt her. Yes they weren't on the best terms but this sweet, funny, and caring guy couldn't hurt a fly….or so she thought.
He saw the hurt look cross her face and he knew he had to end this now before he couldn't. He raised the knife but the look on her face made him hesitate, his hand began to shake then he brought the knife down stabbing her again and then again. Then he grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her across the lawn to the tree in front. He tied her up so she was hanging then cut her down in middle so her intestines were dangling. Then he made a run for it, he was a little farther down the road when he heard the screams.
