I got chills down my spine. Forgetting my mom's order to not leave the house, I called Lucas. Our conversation went a little like this:

Me:Hey Lucas...

Lucas: Hey Ari! You sound...scared,
what's wrong?

Me:oh it's nothing don't worry...

Lucas: Somethings wrong. I hear breathing in the background...

Me: Wha-what??? Uh it's uhhhh probably just my um...Internet connection! Ye-yeah... Internet...(at that moment I knew it probably wasn't a prank)

Lucas: (confused) uhh... ok then...

Me: Uh do you mind if Emily and I hang at your place today?... my parents are out and I need some company...

Lucas: yeah...sure...

Me: Thanks, Lucas! *hangs up*

At that moment Emily started to cry. Just a coincidence? I think not.I ran up the stairs to her bedroom and saw she was covered in bruises. On the floor scrawled in blood were the words "DONT LEAVE."

'EMMY!' I shouted. 'Emmy, what happened?! Wh-where did THIS come from?!' I asked pointing to the words on the floor. 'Do-don't leave the house...'

she stuttered. 'Cmon Emily, we're going to stay with Lucas. It's not safe here.'

Emily started to cry and pointed up at the air conditioner. 'No!' She screamed. 'N-no! G-get away!' She cried. I was confused. I picked her up and put her in the car. Emily started screaming. She begged me to not leave the house. I obviously didn't listen to her. Being the idiot that I am.

We drove to Lucas's house, Emily pointing out the window and screaming 'G-Go back!!!! Monster! Monster!!!' The entire ride. Maybe my sister was hallucinating.
