It was around 6'o clock in the morning, my phone rang deafeningly, which nearly gave me a heart attack! I woke up feeling so exhausted! My phone was on the table opposite to my bed, I went to answer the call but it stopped ringing, I got so annoyed, I didn't want anybody to disturb me again, so I switched off my phone, without checking who called me! I went back to my bed and soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep.
I suddenly woke up, trying to breathe hard and I tried to look around but I couldn't see anything! I couldn't even come to a decision that if I was blind or a place I'm apparently in is that dark. I was so anxious, my sweat was running down my cheeks and I was feeling pulsing of my blood racing through my veins. I tried to wake up, but I lost my balance so I fell down and my head hit the ground really hard but I managed myself to get up but a sudden burst of pain rang through my leg, I screamed loudly, tears started to roll down my cheeks. I gentle touched my leg, to feel what happened as I couldn't see anything, I felt like there was a deep cut in my leg. Suddenly I heard a melodious music, I had a feeling that I have heard it somewhere before then I realized it was my...my phone ringtone, I felt like the sound was coming from my behind, so I turned around, I saw a small light coming out of the corner, I was relieved, I felt like my life came back to me, for couple of seconds I was beaming with joy realizing that I can actually see but soon I realized the reality that I am in a place where I've never been before. I quickly crawled towards my phone, well I thought it was my phone at that time. I took my phone in my hand realizing that it was fully covered with blood but I didn't care at that point, I even forgot that I had a horrible pain in leg. I quickly answered the call without seeing who it was, there was a silence for couple of seconds, and then suddenly I heard a women scream and started saying 'don't look back, don't look back run... run.... run from here! I was so scared, I wanted to look back but the same time I didn't wanted to fearing that something will happen to me. I tried to talk back in the phone but the call was disconnected. I panicked; I thought to call my parents so started looking for them in the contacts but I couldn't find them in my contacts instead I found 100's of teenagers photos horrible killed and having a contact name: you're gone, I reached the end of my contacts, there were 51 contacts and there was this one contact which had no photo but had a contact name: you're next! As soon as I read that my pupils dilated, I could hear my heart beating rising up and my mouth was getting really dry! I tried to calm myself and started entering my dad's phone number and was about to press call but my phone shattered into pieces and an unknown creepy voice came from behind, saying "turn back, you're next, turn back" I screamed loudly and started running from there, as I started taking each steps the lights started turning on but they were so dim hardly I couldn't even see anything but as I moved further the lights started getting brighter and brighter, a brightness where my eyes could be gone for everywhere. I closed my eyes but never stopped running! Then I banged into something hard. The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself panting on my bed. My god, it was a dreadful nightmare! For couple of minutes I sat on the bed still struggling to breath and not daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and continuing the nightmare. I quickly grabbed my water bottle and started drinking until there was not even a drop left. I took my phone and switched it back on and as it was turning on I started heading down stairs towards to my parent's bedroom and as I was walking on the stairs I got a notification that there was a call from an unknown number 50 times, soon for some reason I remembered my nightmare how the phone had 51 contacts and the last one which said you're next. This time I was gone completely dead inside but I calmed myself giving a silly reason that there is only 50 calls in here but there was 51 contacts in that phone, within a couple of seconds I got a call, I didn't see who it was again! I heard the same women saying the same thing don't look back, run, otherwise you're next! But I don't know why I did, I looked back quickly...I stood still for couple of seconds and suddenly started laughing realizing how stupid I was, still thinking about the same thing, that's why I felt like this and started walking down stairs again but suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, I didn't care as I thought that I am still in that atmosphere but I felt a tap on shoulder again this time I looked back there was this creepiest thing I could ever see, my leg slipped and I fell off the stairs.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around I was in the hospital, my parents and my brother were crying. My mouth was so dry, I couldn't even open my mouth but I managed to call my mum. My mum had a big smile on her face and started running towards me and gave me a big hug. I was about to tell her everything about what happened but my brother came running towards me, feeling extremely depressed and continuously started saying 'sorry sis, I won't do this again, You can punish me however you want, but please don't hate me' I was confused, so I asked ' What do you mean?' 'Sis, you are so nice, even though I scared you by wearing the Halloween costumes and calling you so many times so you can come down and I also made you fall from the stairs but you still act like you accidently slipped from the stairs, it wasn't me who scared you and made you fall, I am so sorry sis' he said crying heavily. I suddenly started laughing so hard thinking what a horrible coincidence it was! My brother started crying harder saying 'I made her mad, mummy I am sorry, sis come back to normal, I am sorry'. Then I slowly calmed myself and told them everything and we all shared a good laugh.
