As I walked through the abandoned town I noticed a house, door wide open. As a curious teen I wandered in, peering around to the dimly lit house. I walked slowly, cautiously, fearing I might disturb something I didn't want to. My right foot hit the floor as a loud creek let out.

"Shit" I mumbled. When I looked up, I felt eyes tearing away at my body. Looking around frantically, I turned to walk out. It was late anyway and I wasn't allowed out after 9 o'clock on weekends. I got out and turned on my feet towards my house and began jogging. Just as I reached the gate guarding off the eerie town, I turned around one last time to look. That's when I saw a tall black figure walking in my direction. I shut the gate and ran til I reached my steps, not looking back once.

I stepped in my house, clock just striking 9 as I slammed the door, back pressed against it. What the hell was that? I think to myself as my mother peaked around the corner from the kitchen.

"Honey! I thought you were staying at Chelsea's tonight?" Her gaze dropped to my feet and shaking hands. "Why are your shoes so..."

"Uh yeah! I am, just forgot to grab my toothbrush!" Cutting her off from asking about the mud all over me, I darted up the stairs, reaching my room, I closed and locked the door behind me. I was supposed to stay at Chelsea's, but after that I'm not to sure I want to. I let out a long sigh as I threw my hair up and sat on my bed. I took my phone out and saw 3 missed calls and 23 texts from Chelsea. Most asking where I was.

- To: Chelsea
Hey sorry, I went to town. I'll be over in 10! XXX

Just as soon as I sat my phone down, it was ringing again. But this time a random number. I grabbed my phone, sliding the answer button.

"Hello?" I asked calmly, thinking it was just another stupid prank call. I sat in silence before I heard a sigh and a man's voice.

"You shouldn't have came sweetheart." Just as the man said that, the line went dead. I stared at my phone as 2 new texts from Chelsea came through.

- From: Chelsea
Kay, well hurry! I wanna hear more about it!

I giggled at her curiosity and stood up from my bed, throwing my phone to the side. I grabbed a bag and packed it quickly.

I kissed my mom goodbye, and headed out of the house. Walking in the dead silence freaked me out, luckily she was just a few houses down. As I neared her house, I felt the same eyes watching my every move. I didn't want to look. I moved faster, walking up her grass and grabbing her doorknob. I pushed her door open and shut it quickly.

"Liv's here!" I heard Katy cheer. Chelsea and my best friend Katy had finally been able to have a sleepover, which was critical for us. A girls night sounded perfect, also the need to tell my secrets ran rapid through my brain.

"There you are! C'mon! Let's go upstairs ladies!" Chelsea lead us through the familiar house, taking us to her room. As we walked in Katy shut the door.

"Spill! I gotta know everything!" Chelsea jumped on her bed. I sat my stuff down and followed her lead. I laughed and brought my journal out, so I could write it down as I told it.

"Well! There was a door open to the old green house, not much left inside but it's a mess! Almost like they left in a hurry." I exclaimed

"Just like the bank!" Katy rang in.

"Right." I said, writing in my journal. "Then I felt like someone was burning my skin with their eyes." I said not looking up.

"What?" Chelsea monotonously said. Her foot starting to move a lot.

"You okay Chels?" I said looking up, her eyes fixed on the floor, I waved in front of her but still didn't get an answer. Until she broke out of her stare almost abruptly.

"I didn't tell you guys everything that happened when I went on Wednesday." He looked at Katy then me. "Maybe I should have." I watching as her fingers start moving. Almost as if she was nervous.

"What happened?" I asked impatiently.

"When I walked into the green house, I wanted to know more. Then a man came up behind me. Saying if I ever came back he'd kill me. That he knows who I am." She gulped. "He knows who all of us are." My heart dropped. Was that the man who called me?

"Maybe That was who called me" I said calmly. Katy turned white and Chelsea immediately questioned.

"What did he say?" She sat up, scared out of her mind.

"That I shouldn't have came there tonight." I looked down at my phone.

"Maybe we shouldn't go ba..." Katy started.

"We have to Katy. We have to know what happened." I said. Then I looked at them, an idea popping in my head. "We go tomorrow."

"Are you crazy?!" Chelsea yelled. In fact, I think that makes sense.

"She's right." Katy said.

"We need a plan." I said. Shutting my journal.
