Nya: Hey! Heheh, new name and ( hopefully ) new and improved writing ( yeah, right… ) Anyhow, I was surprised when this story kept getting reviews, so I figured "what the heck?" and decided to update! Unfortunately, I forget most of the movie…so I'm just gonna make it up from here –laughs nervously-
Syrus plopped onto the large sofa. Where was Chazz? Was he OK? Or was this some kind of practical joke that even Jaden was in on? But Jaden wouldn't do that to him…would he? Of course, Jaden rarely passed up a good practical joke…
The loud ring of the telephone made Syrus jump. Chazz's familiar number flashed on the screen. Syrus held his breath. Should he answer or just let in ring? He stared, frightened and anxious, at the device until the noise stopped. He let out a loud breath.
The phone rang again, with the same number. Syrus let it ring two more times, and then picked up.
"What?" He growled angrily, but his voice had a non-intimidating tremble. "Who are you? Where are you?"
"…I can see you."
"W-What…?" Syrus voice shook, "W-what do you mean? W-where are you? T-tell me!"
"I can see you very well," the voice continued, "You're in the living room, with the kitchen phone. You're sitting on the couch. You left the stick of your popsicle on the table."
Syrus' heart skipped a beat. He almost couldn't breath. Spinning around, he realized the curtains for the rather large window in the room were wide open. He ran to close them.
"That won't last long," The voice chuckled. A dark, gruff chuckle that sent chills up Syrus' spine. There was a click! and the call was over.
Syrus dropped the phone. It hit the rug with a muffled sort of clunk. His mind was racing. He felt like he was going to puke. Something in his gut told him that this was no joke. His eyes went side when he realized he hadn't checked on the kids.
Bolting up the stairs, Syrus nearly ran straight into the children's door. It was covered with your average children's drawings; rainbows, puppy dogs, kitty cats, smiling suns, and happy families. He held his breath and turned the knob. The two girls were wrapped up their blankets, fast asleep. One of them held a fluorescent green stuffed animal ( Syrus guessed it was a dog, but he couldn't be sure ) He exhaled, and went back down stairs.
He passed by the kitchen and a paper fluttering on the refrigerator caught his eye. He slapped his forehead. Duh! Call the parents! How could he have not thought of that before?
Snatching the paper off the fridge, he ran back into the living room to get the discarded phone. He dialed the cell phone numbers first. He got answering machines for both. He tried the restaurant.
"Um, yeah, I was wondering if a Mrs. and Mr. Halters have arrived yet?" He asked a girl on the other end of the line.
"Ah…lemme check, sir." Syrus could hear her chewing her gum. He wondered if she would get in trouble, at such a fancy restaurant. He realized he really didn't care. "Ah, sorry sir, ya just missed 'em." Syrus sighed.
"Alright, thank you." He hung up before she could say anything else. Probably out to see a movie, he though, so they can't answer their cell phone anyway. Damn.
Nya: uh...Well, that's it for this chapter. Guess my writting didn't really inprove at all, huh? HAHA!
