"now you know damn well i don't have any plans for halloween." you told jen.
"i already told you that you could come with me and lyn if you wanted too."
you held the phone up to your ear and walked over to the stove to check on your popcorn. "and third wheel? hell nah."
jen clicked her teeth and sighed "i wouldn't make you feel left out."
you took the popcorn off the stove and sat it to the side, your concentration was taken off the phone for a second when you looked out the kitchen window and saw a black figure standing in the middle of your background. you squinted a bit to make sure you weren't seeing things. "look, jen i'll call you back, okay?"
"is everything okay?" jen asked worryingly.
"yeah, i'm just about to watch a movie." you walked over to the back door and locked it, having someone break in wasn't on your agenda for the night.
"okay babes, bye! be sure to call me if you need anything."
"i will, bye" and with that you hung up the phone and sat it down next to the popcorn on the counter.
you walked back over to the kitchen window and peered out, there was no one there. for a moment everything was silent, it felt normal again.
*RIIIIINNNGGG RIIIINNNGGG*
you jumped and turned your head to the phone, who could be calling this late at night?
you slowly walked over to the phone, slowly picking it up you gave a deep breath and answered. "hello?"
"hey sweetie." it was your mom.
you sighed in relief, "hey ma"
"you okay? you sound a bit frightened."
"i'm okay, im just a bit paranoid is all." you walked away from the kitchen with your popcorn and settled down on the couch, preparing yourself for halloween with a scary movie and a dark ambience to pair with it.
"alright now, you call me if you need anything okay love?"
"i will, goodnight." you hung the phone up and sat it down next to you.
you scrolled through prime video to see if anything new came out. you kept scrolling, passing by movies like "Halloween", and "Nightmare of Elm Street". you stopped when you saw that a new Scream had came out.
"they put that on here already?" you clicked it and decided that you mineswell watch it before it gets spoiled for ya.
*Time Skip*
"that corny ass movie what the fuck..." you rolled your eyes at the screen. you were appalled by how bad they fucked up the movie.
you got up with your popcorn bowl and headed back into the kitchen, "that must've been a parody or sumn." you laughed at your comment.
you set the bowl in the sink and caught yourself looking out the window again. your eyes widened, the figure was there again. standing behind a tree in the backyard.
panic set in and you ran to the back door to make sure it was still locked. when you saw that the lock was untouched you ran back over the phone to call 911, but someone beat you to it.
