The house is eerily quiet, other than the sound of the shower running and the quiet hum of the bathroom lights. You stand under the hot water, your lips parting in a relieved sigh as the steaming shower puts relaxation over your sore muscles. The moment of peace quickly fades when you hear a soft thud outside the bathroom door. You reach for the shower handle and twist until the comforting, warm spray shuts off. The cold tile bites as your bare feet as you step out from behind the curtain.

You make your way into your room, a towel wrapped around your body. You jump from the sudden ring of your ringtone filling through the silenced room. You reach for the phone with trembling fingers and turn the screen to see who’s calling you so late. Unknown number. The slight furrow in your eyebrows and the tremble in your hands put your confusion and your fear on display as you put the phone to your ear and answer it. Your voice comes out in a shaky, quiet whisper.

Hello? Who is this?

A deep, raspy voice on the other line speaks up immediately after you finish speaking. That voice sounds familiar. A voice you’ve heard before. From the Scream movies.

Hello. You’re looking real pretty tonight, little rabbit. What’s your favorite scary movie?
