October 31st, 8:08pm
Ian and Anthony sit on the couch, Anthony munching on all of the candy that they had bought together the day before.
"You gonna save some for me?" Ian laughs.
"No..." Anthony jokes, pulling the bowl that holds all of the candy towards himself.
Ian laughs. "Come on, let me have some.."
"Fine..." Anthony says, giving the bowl to Ian.
After about an hour of watching tv and eating almost all of the candy, Anthony decides he wants to go to bed.
"So soon? Dude, it's only 9..." Ian says.
"Yeah, I know, I'm just exhausted...and plus I feel kind of sick from all that candy I ate." Anthony says as he rubs his stomach.
"Alright, night man."
"Night" Anthony walks to his room and shuts the door.
Ian continues to watch tv, play on his 3ds, and munch on candy for the next two hours. All of a sudden, his phone starts to ring. He looks at his phone and doesn't recognize the number, so he doesn't answer.
11:37pm
His phone rings again 10 minutes later, it's the same unknown caller, but this time he picks up. "Hello?..." He waits for someone to reply, but all he can hear is silence. He rolls his eyes and hangs up.
11:45pm
His phone rings again. Ian answers, aggravated. "Yes?..." He waits for a few seconds, and right before he's about to hang up, someone answers on the other end. A raspy voice says, "Have you checked the entire house?..." Ian's heart starts pounding. "Who is this?" Ian asks. The voice just laughs and hangs up.
Ian knows it's just a prank call, but he looks in every room just to make sure everything is safe.
He contemplates whether he should take a peek in Anthony's room to, but after a minute he finally decides not to.
11:50pm
His phone rings once again. It's the same number. Ian answers, "Look, you call me one more time, I'll call the cops, got it??" Ian says and then hangs up.
11:52pm
His phone rings, and once again, it's the same number. "Hello?" Ian says angrily. All he can hear is laughing on the other end. "That's it. I'm calling the cops." Ian hangs up and dials 911.
"911 operator, what is your emergency?" A woman answers.
"Yes this man keeps calling and harassing me and I was wondering if there was anything you could do to stop it?..."
"Ok, has this man done anything besides call you?" the lady asks.
"No, but he keeps calling and it's starting to scare me a little bit..."
"Ok, well, don't worry. It's probably just a prank call. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about prank callers, but If you'd like I could trace the call if he calls again?..."
"Yeah, that'd be great, thank you." Ian says.
"Ok. I already have your number and everything so if he calls I will immediately know."
"Ok. Thank you, bye." Ian says and then hangs up.
11:58pm
Once again, Ian's phone rings, and once again, it's the same prank caller. Ian doesn't say anything this time, all he does is listen to see if he can hear anything, but he doesn't. Nothing but silence. He hangs up and just sits there. staring at his phone.
All of a sudden, his phone starts to ring again. This time, his heart starts pounding when he see's the number on the screen: '911'. He picks up. "Hello?"
"Ian Hecox?" It's the same woman from before.
"Yes?"
"Ok, Ian? I don't want to freak you out, but the calls that you have been getting are being traced from the same residence that you are at right now. I need you to leave immediately."
Ian doesn't say anything. His whole body goes numb, heart starts beating at a million times a minute, his body unable to move even an inch, he just sits there.
"Hello? Ian? Ian? Can you hear me? I need you to lea-" Ian drops the phone when he remembers Anthony. He runs into the hallway and walks slowly towards Anthony's room at the end of the hallway. He stops at the door, slowly turns the door knob, and opens the door. He can see a shape under the covers in Anthony's bed. He walks over slowly. His heart continuously pounding out of his chest.
He gets to the edge of his bed, and slowly pulls back the covers a tiny bit. His heart starts slowing down a little bit when he see's Anthony's face, sleeping. He is about to back away when he notices something. Anthony's face is paler than usual.
Ian looks closer, and notices a thick line of blood trickling down from Anthony's nose. Ian's heart starts pounding again. He pulls the covers down all the way, and see's blood soaked all over the sheets, the bottom half of Anthony's body completely gone.
Ian screams and falls to the floor. "Anthony..." Ian starts crying but stops when all of a sudden, he sees a man under the bed. A man covered in blood. Ian stares at the man in complete frightened disbelief. The man doesn't say or do anything...he just stares at Ian, and smiles.
