Blood rushed to my head. It felt like the walls were closing in on me. The phone was pressed up against my ear as the words reached my brain.

"You really think you and your family would get away with it? Well think again. Because as long as I'm here. You're fucking dead. And so is your family."

They hung up. The line breaking fogged my head up with regret. What were they talking about? What did we do? My mind wasn't exactly clear but I knew I had to get out. It wasn't safe.

I picked up my backpack and darted out the door. Not looking back. My pulse beating a million times a second. Every bit of my body was numb. I don't know what they meant. What were they talking about. We hadn't done anything. Well I mean we must of done something. No one threatens death unless we'd done something. Except how could I have done something without knowing it.

There was no more time to think. Just leave. But it was a long walk home. 30 minutes. That gave me a long time to think. Maybe this was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe it's a test? I grit my teeth. Swiftly making my way past the half way line back home. Who was this person? Why were they doing this? Everything was a blur. The world felt like it was spinning around me. My saliva tasted like blood and my feet numbed into my school shoes. I couldn't change what happened so I had to calm down. My eyes got caught by the sight of BEST ONE. Every day I went to that shop after school. Bought a dairy milk or a Yazoo.

My feet their way towards it. I opened the door with DING and walked inside

The shop was cold and unwelcoming. A lot different to how it normally is. I browsed around the shelves. Pondering over what chocolate I wanted. Finally I made up my mind and chose a Dairy Milk and chewing gum and went to pay. To my surprise there was no one there. I looked around the shop only to see no one. What the hell. What was going on. Where is everyone? My eyes darted around me. An uneasy feeling engulfed and I didn't know what to do.

My mind blanked. Was it them? What was going on? Everyone was missing. The message. The phone call. And now I'm here. By myself. With a random fucking stranger threatening to kill me.

What the actual fuck?
