-"Happy Halloween!!" Molly yelled, dancing around in her witch costume. Jack, Carey, and Clu were dessed like evil demon zombie things and were sneaking the trick-or-treat candy into pillow cases. Annie sat on the stairs, costumeless, watching them. She couldn't help but smile when she saw the happy family that she had longed so greatly to be a part of. Ned was a clown and Irene was a vampire, everyone was dressed up exceped Annie. Afterall, she couldn't dress up, she couldn't watch TV because the scary shows, let alone dress up and go out. Annie sighed and went into the TV room and put in "BRING IT ON" and curled up on the couch with a blanket.
-"Annie, where going out." Molly shouted from the other room. "Don't burn the house down!"
-"And no girls!" Clu added cruely. But Annie never seemed to defend herself. She cared for them too much, she just took the criticizem and hid her pain.
-"I won't, Molly!" Annie called back, deliberatly igloring Clu's extra comment.
-"I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot-" Annie recited along with the movie. She was bored out of her mind, but at least she got to pick the TV show. But not really, she couldn't watch any Halloween specials for fear of being afraid so she watched "BRING IT ON" over and over and over.
Just when Annie got up to make popcorn, the phon rang. Annie walked over to the grey phone hanging on the kitchen wall wondering who would call on Halloween night.
-"Hello?"
-"Annie, what are you most afraid of?" Annie couldn't recognize the voice on the other line.
-"Who is this?!" She began to panic.
-"Somone who knows you top to bottem, I watch your every move, Annie Thaelen." Annie, completely horified on her first reflex, hung up the phone and sat down on the floor, scared out of her right mind. Any normal person would know that it was most likely just a prank caller, but nothing like this had ever happened to her before and she didn't know how to handle it. In a matter of seconds the phone rang again, only this time, Annie didn't answer. So the mystery caller left a message:
-"You can't avoid me, Annie Thaelen. I know what you're most afraid of and I know that you're alone-" then came the dial tone. Annie was now shaking so hard that she couldn't even hold her glass of water without spilling it all over herself.
The threatening calls went on for hours on end and Annie had thrown up atleast four times by the time the caller called for the tenth time. And this time, Annie couldn't handel it. She ran outside screaming, but her yells for help were cut off by the sight of somthing moving in the bushes. She stood there, whatching it and she could tell that it was watching her. And at the moment she least expected it, whatever it was jumped out at her black robes and a knife and that was the last thing Annie remembered before waking up in the hospital and 12:47 P.M.
