Ao Oni

Chapter 4 The Haunted

*Chloe’s POV*

 

            I sat on my bed. I looked at my ceiling fan for a few moments. I then looked at my clock. 8:53 pm. I sighed and thought about texting Nicholas. I wanted him to be with me. I lifted my shirt sleeve to reveal my scars. I shakily sighed and rolled my sleeves back down. I have had way too many heartbreaks. I finally texted Nick. “Hey” I just sent. I turn Pandora on. I browsed my music and then I just stayed on The Neighbourhood radio. Evanescence was playing, it was my favorite song, “Hello” I danced around my room and sang along. I then twirl around and froze. I was looking out my window and only to see, Ao Oni staring back at me.

 

 

*Nicholas POV*

           

            I was listening to Panic! At the Disco when I got a text from Chloe. I picked up my phone as I lip synced to “Miss Jackson” I smiled at the message, even though all it said was ‘Hey’ I typed in “Hey” back. I smile. It’s funny how one little thing can really make you feel great. I decide to visit my little Chloe. I call her up just to make sure it’s okay to surprise her. It’s not a surprise I’m basically just telling her that I’m coming over. Chloe never declines a call no matter what. I call her but she didn’t pick up. I look at my phone with a concerned look. I then realized. Something is not right.

 

*Chloe’s POV*

           

            I look back at Ao Oni. I’m going to die.. I am going to die. I look at my phone. Nicholas is calling. I slowly approached my phone on my bed. Ao Oni slammed his hand on the window. I raised my hands above my head. Ao Oni has something in his hand, a bloody machete. My eyes shake as I looked at the blood slowly dripped down the weapon. His breath made fog on my window, he was breathing quite heavily. I look into his eyes. I just stared right into them. I didn’t have fear anymore. I just had curiosity mixed with wonder and concern. I approached my window, he began to bang his hand against the window, signaling me to stop. But I kept going. I got to my window and stared at the monster. His eyes were very shiny and unnaturally large. He had a big nose. His skin was purple. He dropped his machete and hid his face with his hands. He began to shake. I was confused but then I realized… He’s crying.

 

 

*Jessica’s POV*

 

            I was with my mom this week. I was walking to Chloe’s house with Jonathon. I look up at him and kissed his nose. I hear my phone ringing and to see Nicholas calling. I pick up my phone and answer.

 

“Bonjour mon ami” I purred into the phone then giggled.

 

“Jessica! Oh my god I tried to call Chloe and she didn’t pick up. She never declines a call!” Nicholas hyperventilate.

 

“Whoa whoa calm down calm down Nicholas. Respirer (breathe)” I said then put my phone on speaker to let Jon know whats going on.
