CHAPTER 16: The Phone Call
"Oh shit." Shane cursed.
"Maybe the power just went out. Maybe it's a coincidence." Matt reasoned.
"So the power just went out, no storm, nothing. Is there a magical ghost around?" Shane shot back.
"Guys chill, we just need some flashlights." Amy told them.
"There in the kitchen right, Jeff?" Shannon questioned.
"Yeah." Came Jeff's reply.
"I'll go." Matt offered.
"I'll come too." Amy said, following closely behind.
"How about we all go in the kitchen?" Shannon suggested.
"Yeah." Shane said, as they slowly walked.
"Come on, Nic." Jeff said, reaching for Nicole. He found her hand and realized how cold it was. "Babygirl you okay?" He asked.
"I'm scared." She whispered. Jeff pulled her to him and hugged her tightly.
"It's gonna be okay, nothing will happen. I promise." Jeff kissed her on the cheek and slowly walked her to the kitchen.
When they got into the kitchen, they found that Amy and Matt had found three flashlights.
"Ok, me and Matt will take one." Amy stated. "Shan and Shane take one and Nic and Jeff take the other one."
They nodded and each took one. "I'm gonna go look upstairs, just to make sure everythings cool." Shane said. Shannon nodded and followed him.
"I'm gonna go look outside." Matt told them.
"I'll go too." Amy agreed.
"No, Ames stay in here. I'll go." Jeff told her. "Nic, Amy's gonna stay with you, ok?" Nicole nodded and let go of Jeff's hand. Amy sat next to her and hugged her.
"It'll be okay Nic. The guys won't let anyone hurt you." Amy promised.
Nicole looked at Amy. "Yeah but he hurt me last time and no one could stop it."
Amy realized that Nicole was right, but she wanted to make her feel better. "I promise that he won't hurt you again." Amy said, hugging her again.
"Ok Amy." Nicole quietly responded. They walked to the living room and sat on the couch. They sat quietly waiting for the guys until the phone rang. Amy and Nicole jumped.
Nicole grabbed it and went to pick it up. "Don't get it." Amy warned.
"It's okay." Nicole assured her. She picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Nikki." The person answered.
"What do you want?" Nicole asked.
"I told you before. I want you." He responded.
"You can't have me." She replied. "I have Jeff and I love him."
"I know, that's why I have to get rid of Jeff first."
"What?" Nicole asked, feeling more afraid.
"Open the door." The man instructed.
"Amy open the door." Nicole told her. Amy gave her a confused look and went to the door.
"Oh my god!" She yelled seconds later. Nicole dropped the phone, hearing the man laughing and ran to the door.
When she got there, she realized that Shane and Shannon were already there, their mouths wide in shock.
Nicole looked down and found Matt, lying on the ground, holding his stomach. She felt tears spring to her eyes as she looked around and realized that Jeff was nowhere to be seen.
