Sahia's Hide or Homocide

SHOH Chapter VII

  "You Can't Run Away from Me..."

      "Tyler, wh..why did you smash the mirror?" Nate had the audacity to ask Tyler.

     "Let me explain," Tyler paused, "my best friends and I went to play hide and seek on Lincoln Drive."

    "I've heard of Lincoln Drive, but I never saw you sneaking out of the house." Nate shook his head in denial.

   "It was prior to midnight. Alma ran away and now this happened. I was seeker and Sahia possessed me to find my friends."

     "Should we tell mom about this?" Nate suggests.

   "No." Tyler refuses.

    "Why not?" Nate raises the brow. "You sneaked out with bunch of your dullard friends and played hide and seek that's full of insanity. Now, you're going nuts." Nate made tsking noises.

    "If you tell them, I will snitch on you that I caught you getting into mother's savings accounts." Tyler said.

   "Fine!" Nate growls. "I won't tell!"

   "Good. Now, we're even!"

  

   

   
     "...'cause baby you're a firework!" Alma blared "Firework" by Katy Perry up through the entire house while doing her homework. Excitement and happiness bounce around in Alma's body because her homework is about done and one of her favorite songs.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon." Alma sang while finishing her essay.

     "Eeeeeeekkkk!" The radio let out a screech. Making Alma gasp and shutting it off. She was shaking. What the heck, she thought. Alma puts her homework back in her duffle bag. She was pretty starled of what happened seconds ago.

    "Hey there!" The radio squealed back on. Alma immediately turned around and stared directly at the radio.

     "Hey." Alma said creeped out. Weird. Radio was talking to her. Just creepy.

   "Do you wanna play?" The radio asked in a static girly tone.

   "Play what?" Alma asks.

    "Hide and seek!"

    "No thanks!" Alma backed away. She had an urge to run away with fear, but she was frozen in her place.

     "Too late." The radio squealed making Alma jumped. "She's already here!"

       Alma ran and unplugged the radio hoping that high pitch eerie voice wills away. She was panting and her heart thumping thought it was over.

   "You'll be the hider while I'll be the seeker." The radio squeals again. Then the voice turns dark and static. "The darkness already found you."

   The lights went out. The fear inside of Alma arise even more making her legs feel like jelly and can feel a lump forming inside of her throat.

   "I can smell your fear, girl." The chilling static voice growls from the radio. "You need to hide!"

    "Oh God!" Alma whimpered. I need to run!

   "Hahahaha!" The radio roared into laughter. "You can't run away from me this time! Hahahaha!"  Alma hold down her scream that's lodge into her throat.

    Alma started to hear footsteps in the hallway coming closer to the room. Alma knows she alone in the house. Now, this hostile being is messing around with her radio telling her to go hide and Alma thinking she might die if she was found. Alma dodged into the closet as quick as she could. She locked the closet door. She took out her phone from her side pocket. She slide downwards against the cramped closet wall. Dark and cold inside. She trembled in fear whilst hoping she wouldn't be found.

   She then texts Dustin: "I might die tonight!"

     The footsteps halts at Alma's bedroom door. Alma freeze and listened closely.

    Slam! The door slammed opened creating a loud bang making Alma jump. Her heart was pounding and she was gasping. Her brain kept screaming at her to run, but she fought back the urge.

     "I know you're here!" The radio sang in a high childish static voice once again. Footsteps dwelled around in the bedroom while Alma was listening from inside the closet.

    "Are you under the bed?" The radio asked before letting an evil chuckle.

     No, Alma rolled her eyes thinking the radio was dumb enough to ask that.

     Then her phone dinged.

     Shit!

     Alma didn't dare to look at the phone. The footsteps grew near and stopped right directly outside the closet door. Alma was paralyzed by fear and the only thing she can hear was her heart jumping into her throat.

    "I've..." The radio said in a monotonous voice.

    Oh no!

    "FOUND YOU!" The radio screech before shortening out and the closet door slammed opened. Alma let out a hurtling scream. She then stopped because she saw nothing was there not even a single person. The door slammed opened on its own. Alma stared looked into her empty bedroom for a minute. Alma's breathing began to calm and the adrenaline began to fade. She looked down at her phone to see Dustin text back: "Why?"

   She then texted back: "Something messed with my radio and I heard footsteps even though I am the only one in the house. It wanted to play hide and seek. I am still scared out of my wits although to reveal nothing was there! My damn closet door slammed opened on its own!"

     Dustin replied quickly: "Something happened to me early this morning while playing hide and seek with Penel. Something tells me that Sahia's game of hide and seek is haunting us."

     Thanks! I am not sleeping tonight!  Alma sighed while in thought still creeped out by all this chaos.
