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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof 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.
Meanwhile, Ellen woke up later that morning at eleven. When she turned on her phone and took a look at the time,
she hastily rushed downstairs, thinking that Jared must have left for work. However, to her surprise, he had not
gone to work and was sitting on the couch and doing his work on his laptop instead.
Upon hearing the footsteps on the stairs, he turned around and looked at her in concern. “Just woke up? Did you
have another nightmare?”
Ellen nodded, looking completely out of it. Jared stood up and poured a glass of warm water for her, which she
accepted gratefully. Just as she was considering telling him what had happened in the past two nights, his phone
rang.
Upon hearing the sound of his phone ringing, Ellen was suddenly reminded of the prank calls and clamped her
mouth shut. “Can’t you turn them down?” After the person on the other end replied, he conceded helplessly, “All
right.”
Upon saying that, he hung up and said to Ellen, “I have something to attend to tonight and will be coming home
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlate. Will you be fine at home alone?”
Ellen nodded and replied breezily, “I’ll be fine.” Jared walked over and rubbed her hair, saying, “Okay, I’ll try to
come back earlier.”
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.
