Exhausted after the long day, Ellen returned to her bed after taking a bath and listening to her favorite music before she gradually drifted to sleep.
Just as the clock struck two in the morning, she heard her phone ringing in her sleep again. She opened her eyes and saw that someone was calling her again, and the number was the same one that had called her before.
After looking at the time and seeing that it was two o’clock on the dot, she was filled with anger. Knowing that someone was trying to prank her again, she took a deep breath and decided to give them a warning.
She picked up and turned on the speaker, threatening, “I don’t care who you are or where you come from, but if you keep harassing me, I’ll call the cops.”
A voice continued to sound from the other end as if it were cursing her. “Ellen, I won’t let you off easily. You’ve been surrounded by evil spirits, and the Grim Reaper will take your life soon. You’ll die a horrible, horrible death.”
Soon after, a demonic wail sounded, sending chills down her spine. The curses kept pouring in from the other end of the phone, and she hung up while gasping for air.
She thought she would be less scared if she thought of the caller as a prankster, but when she heard those voices in the middle of the night, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of terror radiating from her surroundings.
Just then, a frightened bird suddenly fluttered. out of the darkness outside the window, causing her heart to skip a beat in fear. Immediately after, her phone began to flood with text messages once again, and she knew what was being sent to her without having to look. As she closed her eyes, the pictures she saw last night involuntarily emerged in her mind.
At that moment, her phone rang again. However, she chose to turn it off instead of looking at it, but she was unable to fall asleep again. Hence, she stayed up until dawn, and it was only after she saw the morning sun that she dared to close her eyes and fall asleep. peacefully.
When the clock hit half past seven, Jared was already outside her door, but he still did not see her waking up. Deciding not to disturb her sleep, he headed to the gym instead.
After Jared left for the company in the afternoon, Ellen sat next to Milkshake on the couch when her phone suddenly rang. After casting it a glance and noticing that it was an unregistered number, albeit a different one, she hesitated before turning on the speaker and answering the call.
“Ellen… Ellen…” A ghastly cry suddenly sounded from the other end, only calling out her name.
Ellen hurriedly hung up the call, tensing in fear, but she soon heard her phone chiming with a chain of notifications again. She looked at her phone. Although she chose not to be afraid, she couldn’t help but wonder to herself.
Who exactly is pranking me? Whose bad side did I get on? Even after thinking about it carefully, she could only recall the issue with Connor, but she felt that he would not try to scare her with these tactics. In that case, was it Selena or Olivia?
Ellen bit her lip, realizing that this was certainly something they would do. Outside the window, the sun was about to set. Ellen normally enjoyed this sight as she loved when the sky was getting dark, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat in fear.
