Casey becker was at home getting ready to have a movie night with steve when the phone rang

She walked over to the phone, picked it up, and answered it

"Hello?"

"Hello," it was a deep man's voice, and Casey thought they had the wrong number

"Yes?"

"Who is this?"

"Who are you trying to reach?"

"What number is this?"

"What number are you trying to reach?"

" I don't know,"

"I think you have the wrong number."

"Do i?"

"It happens,take it easy," she told him before hanging up and putting the phone back down

Casey walked into the kicten when the phone rang again .With a sigh, she picked up the phone, answering again

"Hello,"

"I'm sorry,I guessed I dailed the wrong number,"

"So why you dial it again?"

"To apologize."

"You're forgiven now, bye now,"

"Wait, wait, don't hang up,"

"What?"

"I want to talk to you for a second."

"They got 900 other number's for that, seeya." Once again, Casey hanged up with a small grin on her face

Casey walked over to the stove and put some popcorn on. The phone rang again
Casey covers the popcorn with a lid before grabbing the phone and answering it

"Hello,"

"Why don't you want to talk to me?"

"Who is this?"

"You tell me your name. I'll tell you mine. "

Casey walks back over to the stove and shakes the popcorn. "I don't think so."

"What's that noise?"

"Popcorn"

"You're making popcorn?"

"Uh-huh."

"I only eat popcorn at the movies."

"I'm getting ready to watch a video."

"Really?what?"

"Just some scary movie,"

"Do you like scary movies?"

"Uh-huh."

"What's your favorite scary movie?"

"I don't know,"

"You have to have a favorite."

"Uh.. Halloweenyou know,the one with the guy with the white mask who sorta walks around and stalks babysitters. What's yours?"

"Guess"

" Uh..nightmare on Elm Street "

"Is that the one where the guy has knives for fingers?"

"Yeah..Freddy Kruger "

"Freddy, that's right. I liked that movie. It was scary."

"The first one. The rest sucked"

"So, you got a boyfriend?" Casey giggled a bit

"Why?you wanna ask me out?"

"Mabye. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"You never told me your name,"

"Why do you wanna know my name?"

"Because I want to know how I'm looking at." Casey stood up straighter

"What did you say?"

"I want to know who I'm talking to."

"That's not what you said,"

"What do you think I said?"

Casey jumped a bit when the popcorn popped

"I have to go now,"

"Wait.. I thought we were gonna go out."

"Nah, I don't think so."

"Don't hang up on me,"

"Gotta go,"

"Don't.." Casey hung up before he could finish his sentence,she walks back over to the stove, sliding the popcorn from the stove as the phone rang again

She picked up the phone again. "Yes?"

"I told you not to hang up on me,"

"What do you want?"

"To talk."

"Dial someone else,okay?"

"You getting scared?"

"No bored," she hung up again, and as she was gonna put the phone down, it rang again, and she picked it up

"Listen asshole-"

"No!you listen, you little bitch!if you hang up on me again!I'll gut you like a fish. Understand?"

"Is this some kind of joke?"

"More like a game,really."

"I'm two seconds from calling the police,"

"They'd never make it in time,"

"What do you want?"

"To see what you're insides look like," Casey faced, dropped in total fear. She quickly hung up and ran to the front door, but the doorbell ringed and Casey jumped back in fear

"Who's there?"She calls out moving a bit closer to the door."Who's there!?"she said a bit louder this time

Casey shook her head .She was gonna call the police ,she grabbed the phone again, and almost dropped it as it rang

She answered it, bringing up to her ear, but she didn't say anything ,just listening

"You should never say "who's there?". Don't you watch scary movies?it's a death wish."

"Look enough is enough. you had your fun ,now you better leave me alone or else "

"Or else what?"

"My boyfriend will be here any second now, and he'll be pissed when I'll tell him,"

"I thought you didn't have a boyfriend,"

"I lied. I do have a boyfriend, and he'll be here any second, and your ass better be gone. "

"Sure."

"I swear it! And he's big and plays football and will beat the shit out of you!"

"I'm getting scared,"

"I'm telling you the truth. I lied before "

"I believe you,"

"So you better leave,"

"His name wouldn't be steve, would it?"

"How do you know his name?"

"Go to the back porch and turn on the light."

Casey, even though she was scared,she moved and she turned on the lights from the back porch and she looked outside and she gasped seeing steve tied to a chair gagged

"Oh god!" She screamed, and she unlocked the door, but the voice stopped her

"I wouldn't do that if I were you,"

"Where are you?"

"Guess"

"Please don't hurt him,"

"That all depends on you,"

"Why are you doing this?"

"I wanna play a game."

"No."

"Then he dies right now,"

"Noo!"

"Which is it?"

"What kind of game?"

"Turn off the light." Casey turns off the light, ignoring the way steve Begs her not too

"Here's how we play. I ask a question, and if you get it right, then steve lives. "

"Please don't do this,"

"Come on,it'll be fun,"

"No...please"

"It's an easy category. Movie trivia "

"Please,"

"I'll give you a warm-up question."

"Don't do this. I can't.."

"Name the killer in Halloween."

"No.."

"Come on, it's your favorite scary movie, you remember?he had a white mask, and he stalked babysitters."

"I don't know,"

"Come on,yes, you do,"

"Please..stop."

"What's his name?"

"I can't think."

"Steve's counting on you"

"Michael.. Michael myers"

"Yes!"

"Now for the real question."

"Noo."

"But you're doing so well,"

"Please go away. Leave us alone!"

"Then answer the question, same category "

"Please..no."

"Name the killer on Friday the 13th."

"Jason!Jason!...jason!"

"I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer."

"No, it's not. It was jason. "

"Afraid not."

"It was jason. I saw that goddam movie twenty times. It was jason. "

"Then you should know Jason's mother, Mrs. Voorhees was the original killer. Jason didn't show up till the sequel "

"You tricked me,"

"Lucky for you, there's a bonus round but poor steve... I'm afraid... he's out,"
Casey ran and turned on the lights back on

Her eyes went wide as she saw steve with his stomach open and blood pooling underneath him and his insides laid by his feet

She screamed loudly and sobbed

"Final question. Are you ready?"

"Just leave me alone,"

"Answer the question, and I will."

"Which door am I at?"

"What?"

"There's two doors to your house. A front door and a back one. If you answer correctly-you live."

"Don't make me...I can't...I won't,"

"Your call"

Casey suddenly screams as the back door glasses shatter as a chair was thrown into them

Casey runs to the front door open and opens it ,only to see a mask figure. She screams and closes the door before running towards the back

She managed to get outside and creep past Steve's dead body .She almost made it to the front when she felt someone looking at her, and she turned her head and made eye contact with the mask figure

She ran, and she heard glass shattering behind her and loud footsteps behind her

She almost made it ,till a glove hand covered her mouth and stabbed her

Mr. Becker and Mrs. Becker arrived home and walked into the house hearing a smoke alarm going off

"Casey!?"they called out, and Mrs. Becker rushed into the kitchen, putting out the burning popcorn and putting in the sink

Mrs .Becker and Mr. Becker went over to the phone to call the police but when Mrs . Becker picked up the phone she only heard weird noises

Mr. Becker had told her to go to the neighbors and call the police from there, and she nodded and went outside only to let out a heart piercing wail

Casey becker was hanging on the tree gutted and dead.
