Chapter 2

The person began to speak, but not a normal voice, in a monster voice, "I'm ten blocks away and coming to get you!" they quickly hung up and Lizzie was left with a dial tone.

Lizzie sat the phone down on the counter and began to bite her nails.

"Who was that?" Matt asked worried.

"I-I don't know." Lizzie replied.

"Well, what did they say?" Matt asked still worried.

"They just said, I'm ten blocks away and coming to get you." Lizzie replied as she began biting her nails even harder.

"I'm getting freaked out now." Matt said as he shook his head in a freaked out motion.

For the next ten minutes Lizzie and Matt stood silently until the phone rang again and made them jump.

Lizzie was scared to pick it up, so she just handed the phone to her brother.

"No, I'm not answering it." Matt refused as he folded his arms.

Lizzie just growled at him and picked up the phone and asked, "Hello?"

The person began to speak in a monster voice, "It's me! And this time I'm nine blocks away and coming to get you!" they gave an evil laugh and then hung up and again Lizzie was left with another dial tone.

"Now this is the time to freak out!" Lizzie yelled panicky.

"Yeah it is." Matt said. "Aaaahhhh!" he yelled too.

They ran around freaking out for the past five minutes. Then Matt went to the window to close it and he saw…

            "Lizzie, why is Miranda out in our yard at night?" he asked. "I thought your friend only comes out of their home in daylight." He said.

            "What?" Lizzie said as she got up off the couch and walked over to her brother. "Why is Miranda here?" she thought out-loud to herself.

            "I asked you first. You should know. She's your friend." Matt said.

            "I do not know why she's here. In fact I didn't even know she was coming over." Lizzie replied.

            Lizzie walked to the door and opened it, then shouted, "Hey Miranda, what are you doing here?"

            Behind a pink rose bush she yelled, "Who said that?"

            "Me. Lizzie. Silly." She laughed.

            Came out behind the bush, Miranda asked confused, "Lizzie?"

            "Yeah." Lizzie said as she shook her head up and down slowly. "So, did you come over to my house or just taking a short cut?" she asked.

            "Um… um…" Miranda paused. "Just taking a short cut to the Dairy Bar to get a ice cream." She answered quickly.

            "Okay. Why didn't you ask your parents if they could've took you?" Lizzie asked confused.

            "Um, I asked them but for some reason they said no. I just think they're still mad at the company that own that place. So I just snuck out." Miranda explained.

            "Oh." Lizzie answered as she scratched her head like she was confused.

            "W-well gotta go before I got caught." Miranda took off running.

            "Okay, that was weird." Lizzie thought out-loud.

            "Yeah, tell me about it? I think all of your friends are weird. Especially Gordo. He's one weirdo." Matt said. "And Lizzie please shut the door, because that caller that said that they were on their way will probably try to come in if we leave it open." He added.

            "Okay, okay I'm closing it." Lizzie said as she closed the door.

            A few minutes later the phone rang again. It made Lizzie and Matt jump up in their seats. They hoped it was their parents. Lizzie picked it up and asked, "Hello?"

            "Hello McGuire. Are you glad to hear my voice again?" the unknown person asked in a monster voice. "I'm…" they started.

            "Wait, how did you know my last name?" Lizzie asked scared.

            "Um… it's in the phone book. And I'm eight blocks away and coming to get you!" they answered in the monster voice again and then hung up. Lizzie was left once again with a dial tone.

            Lizzie took the phone away from her ear and started screaming and crying. Matt came over to her and hugged her and said, "I'm freaked out too. That person will probably come to our house, but we should set up a trap for them if they do come. Don't you think so?" he asked.

            Lizzie lifted up off her brother, smiled and said, "Yeah! That person or creature will be toast and they will never know what hit them."

The end of chapter 2!
