"Hello? Is this Amara? I'm Mandy." After the call was connected, Mandy immediately walked a few steps to the coffee table and lowered her head to ask.
"...Oh, hi, Mandy." Amara's voice rang on the phone. She was a little confused, as if she had just woken up from drunkenness, and her words had a slurred stutter.
"Are you home? Phew, you're fine." Mandy finally relaxed after hearing Amala's voice, and gently sat on the coffee table, placing her right hand on the tabletop to keep it cold, "I heard Lily say before that you were I was picked up at the party...it scared me a lot, but luckily you're okay."
"Oh... I'm fine. I'm a transfer student. He brought me back." In addition to Amara's voice, there was also the sound of the bed being rubbed on the other end of the phone. "I'm in bed now... half asleep." How many hours? Or how long... I can’t figure it out, and my head hurts.”
"They drank a lot of wine from you?" Mandy said with a wry smile, "You're not a good drinker and you still go to parties like this...be careful not to be taken advantage of by the frat guys."
"Hey...what's going on, aren't you here? You will help me even if you are not at the party, right sister Mandy?" Amara said with a lazy smile.
"If something happens to you so far away today, I probably won't be able to help you! Be careful in the future." Mandy sighed and said.
"That's not because, Sister Mandy, you won't accompany us to the party." Amara muttered, "If you were here, they wouldn't dare to indulge me like that. I guess I could have fun longer!"
"I'm too lazy to tell you, I'm going to take a shower." Mandy shook her head and prepared to hang up the phone after making sure Amara was fine.
"Um...Sister Mandy, are you at my house now?" On the other end of the phone, Amala suddenly paused and asked, "Then...are you ready to go home now? Why don't you come in and sit for a while? ?”
"What? What are you talking about?" Mandy asked casually, not understanding what Amala meant. "I'm at home...I mean I'm at my own home."
"Then...I feel a little confused. Who is that...person...in the yard outside my window?"
Mandy was startled for a moment. She originally wanted to stand up, but sat back on the sofa again. For some reason, she subconsciously turned her head and looked outside her window. The yard was silent, there was no wind and no shadows on the lawn, only a faint light shining on the shrubs.
"who?"
"There's someone... walking around in my yard... Sister Mandy, isn't that you?" Amara's voice was still a little confused, "I was getting up to take a drink of water... I just saw him."
"I called you at home, and it was definitely not me... Are you sure there is someone in your yard? Is it your family?" Mandy asked softly.
"No...my family won't be back today, so I secretly went to the party..."
"Human? Are you sure it's a human? Didn't you see it wrong? It's already night now... Do you have lights in your yard?" Mandy turned and glanced outside her French window. There was no one in the yard.
"It's not on, and the lights in the living room aren't on either... There's only the light from the street lights in the yard... Oh my God, my head hurts..."
"That man... seemed drunk... maybe sick? It felt like he was walking a little... staggering... I heard his footsteps and noticed... his?" Marla whispered.
"Him? He's a man?"
"No...I don't know...It's too dark. He's probably...seven or eight meters away from my window? It's a bit weird, it's a little dark and I can't see clearly...Hey! Who's in the yard? "
There was silence on the phone for ten seconds.
"Who's in the yard!"
The phone remained silent.
"He...didn't promise me...Mandy, is there something wrong..."
"You are at home, right? I remember you live at No. 2329 Queen's Road? I will come right away. Don't go near the windows and lock all the doors and windows."
For some reason, Mandy suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart. She suddenly felt a little tight in her chest and felt uncomfortable all over, and she stood up immediately.
Something bad was going to happen... She didn't know why, but she had a very, very bad feeling, as if she was standing in front of a door that she knew was pitch black behind, but she had to Open it and walk inside into chaos.
"...is...a bad person?" Amala on the other end of the phone seemed to wake up a little because of Mandy's nervous tone, and her tone became more normal, as if she had realized that she might have encountered someone. whats the matter.
"I...my front door is locked. I'm going to check the back door."
"I'll be right away, wait for me, I'll drive over." Mandy ran to her house to find her car keys.
But when she found the key and walked into the living room again, she found that the phone was completely silent, so quiet that it made her uneasy.
"Amara, talk, talk to me, what's going on over there now?"
"I...my back door is locked, but he..." Amara spoke, but her voice was a little soft, mixed with incomprehensible curses, "WTF..."
"..."
"He...he's upside down...?"
"Upside down...?" Mandy stopped. The expression on her face couldn't tell whether it was ugly or weird. For some reason, a picture echoed in her mind. It was very blurry, just a shadow, but it was scary enough to make her I felt uncomfortable all over.
"Don't hang up the phone...Amara, don't hang up the phone."
"He...he's upside down now...I guess?" Amara said, her voice full of confusion and confusion.
"He was motionless in the corner of the lawn...just staring at me...laughing? He was holding the lawn with his hands...smiling at me? And he was motionless!"
"He's...standing on his head?"
"I...I don't...I don't know what he is doing. He is at the corner of the yard, facing me, standing upside down...WTF?" Amara's voice began to vibrate.
The inability to understand finally began to fill her with water-like fear, filling her brain that was still dazed by alcohol. Coldness and trembling slowly took over the skin and blood of the girl on the other end of the phone.
"Mandy...can you come here quickly? I feel bad...I'm a little scared..."
"I'll be right over." Mandy immediately ran to the door, but before she was about to go out, she suddenly realized that she couldn't take the phone with her. If she wanted to drive away, she would have to hang up the phone first.
"Oh my god... Mandy, can you... come here quickly?" Amara had already started to pant, and just by hearing her breathing, you could imagine the frequency and amplitude of her chest rising and falling.
"Stay away from the window!"
Mandy opened the door and forced herself to calm down so that she could give Amala the most correct guidance... She had no idea what was happening over there now, but there was no doubt that Amala's situation was very serious now. If something is wrong, if it is not handled well, something very bad will happen.
"By the way, lock the living room door!"
"I...backed up, I was staring at him."
Amara began to speak with a cautious nasal voice, mixed with gasping, as if someone was strangling her throat. The nervousness and uneasiness were transmitted to Mandy through the phone, "I touched the door handle. ..I have to check the deadbolt.”
"Put the door bolt in." Mandy immediately ordered, "I'll drive over right away. It'll take about five minutes. Soon, I may have to hang up the phone, but don't be afraid... I'll be there soon!"
The other end of the phone suddenly became quiet, and Mandy had to lower her head to confirm that the call was still being dialed and had not been hung up, but there was no reply from the other end.
"Amara? Amara!? Are you still there?"
The girl's voice rang on the phone, but it was muffled, so muffled that it made people panic: "Oh my God... Huhu... Huh... He pressed his face against the window."
"Window...window? What's wrong with him?" Mandy could only hear Amara's uncontrollable rapid breathing.
"I...I lowered my head and checked the door bolt, and he...he...he put his face against the window." Amara breathed hard to speak normally, "He. ..His teeth are so big, and he’s smiling…He’s smiling, Mandy, he’s smiling at me…”
"..." Mandy stood motionless at the door, swallowing unconsciously without reacting.
"There was no color in his eyes."
"Oh God...Mandy, help me, why...why isn't he moving...he's just staring at me...staring at me...you...why don't you Move! Why are you staring at me!" The voice on the phone almost broke down and roared, a bit harsh, full of fear of the unknown.
"Lock... the doors and windows, I..." Mandy wanted to put down the phone, but she felt that if she put down the phone... she might never hear Amara's voice again, but if she still If you waste time here, Amara might...
"He keeps staring at me, Mandy...he...stares at me..."
Amara's voice was a little tearful. She must have sat in front of the living room door after hearing the noise, holding the phone and staring at the scene she was looking at outside the window, "He... is he coming in?"
"Get out of there," Mandy said with difficulty.
"To me...I'm going into the house...I'm going into the house..."
"Yes, go into the house, lock the door, and hide in the closet or under the bed."
"..." There was silence on the phone for a while.
"He moved." Amara suddenly said in a trembling voice on the phone.
"...What's up with him?"
"He's shaking his head... He's... He's telling me no?"
"He can hear us! He's telling me I'm wrong! Mandy he can hear me! Man-"
Amara, who was on the other side of the phone, lost control of her emotions and started yelling. Noisy voices sounded in the background, and the phone was hung up the next moment.
Mandy stood there for a few seconds, glanced down at the phone in her hand, threw the phone away, opened the door and rushed out.
