Nate heard the dial tone start. He put down the receiver and stared at the phone in disbelief.

"What was that?" Jason asked, looking up at Nate.

"I don't know," Nate answered, still staring down at the phone. "There was this weird noise and then she just….hung up."

Jason threw his legs around and jumped up to stand beside Nate.

"I'm calling her back," Nate said, picking up the phone again.

"Ok," Jason said cheerfully, sitting down again.

The phone kept ringing, and Nate was about to give up when Linda came on.

"Hello?" she said feebly.

"Linda?" Nate asked, worried now.

"Nate, I thought I told you…"

"I know. But, you got me worried. Please. I don't know what's wrong, but maybe I can help."

"No," Linda said, and Nate thought she sounded like she was crying. "Nate. No. That's just the problem. It's me. Just…just forget me. Please."

"What?" Nate said, eyes widening. "No. Linda, no. I can't. Why are you saying that?"

"Nate, please. Just…do it. But, Nate?"

"Yes?" Nate said.

"I…I can't do it," Linda said. Nate was confused and could hear Linda sobbing. Suddenly, Linda's voice broke out.

"No, please, please don't make me! No!! I can't!!"

Then, Nate heard a scream and a large crash and then the line went dead.

Nate threw the phone down and ran to the front door and threw on his coat.

"What the heck? What happened, Nate?" Jason asked, running up behind him.

"Jason?" Nate said, voice shaking.

"What is it?"

"Jason, I want you to call the police."

Jason stared at Nate for a second before finally responding.

"Wh-why?"

Nate looked up at Jason painfully.

"Jason, I heard Linda screaming on the other end and….I don't know what's wrong with her. I'm going to go over there and find out, though. And, I want you to call the police. Please. Just do it."

"Of course," Jason said, sobering and running over to the phone.

"Tell them to go to Linda's house," Nate called out, and then shouted the location before flinging open the door and running to his car.

Ten minutes later, he pulled into Linda's driveway. Her car was there, but the house had an empty, strange look to it that Nate found un-nerving. He jumped out of the car and hurried over to the door, making a quick wrap on the heavy wood. There was no answer. Nate knocked again. Again, no sound came from within. Nate tried the handle of the door. It was unlocked, so she hurried in.

"Linda? Linda!?" he called out, rushing into the living room. His eyes opened wide. The room was a complete wreck. Furniture was overturned, objects had been flung about, there was broken glass on the dark wooden floor, and the phone was lying, off the hook on the floor by the large glass door across the room. Nate started shaking and fell to the floor, tears starting to flow down his cheeks.

Alright. Sorry that it has taken this long for the next chapter to come. I have been extremely busy these past few days. I hope you guys like this last chapter and it's not too boring. I'm sorry if it's not as good as some of the other ones and I know it's kinda short…..I was kinda in a rush to just put out a new chapter. Anyway, REVIEWS!! I would like at least 7 or 8 if possible before I put out a new chapter. Thanks!!
