Yuridiana Morales Professor Altman English 115 October 10, 2013 Carefully Watched It was dark.

All you could hear were kids laughing. You were walking down the side walk when you came across this house surrounded by pumpkins. It seemed to spook you at first, but it wasnt enough to scare you away. You walk up towards the house and knocked on the door. An old lady with these scary blue eyes opened the door. She didnt say anything. It frightened you a bit. Out of nowhere you yelled, Trick or Treat. The old lady then threw one piece of candy into your pumpkin basket and with a creepy smile asked, Arent you happy with what you got? Bam! She shut the door. Confusingly, you walked back down the street. As you turned to take one last look at the house, you noticed someone dressed as a clown was staring at you from one of the windows. You ran off as quickly as possible towards a street where a group of people were. Later that night, you finally got home and you saw a note on the kitchen counter from your parents that read, We went to a Halloween party at The Parkers house. Dont stay up too late. Love Mom and Dad. You got happy because you had the whole house to yourself. Every time you were alone your hair brush would magically turn into a microphone and your house would become the audience. You walked towards the stereo and turned up the music and started to sing. All of sudden you heard a knock! You pretty much guessed it was some trick or treaters. You looked through the peep whole. No one was there. You open the door to take a better look when you saw a dark black box. You bend down to pick it up. You get up and check to see if

anyone was around. You take the box into the house and open it. As your opening it you find nothing, but a note. It says, Careful Im watching you! I know all your secrets. I own you now. You got really scared and tried to brush it off as maybe one of your friends playing a mean trick on you. You turned off the music and went upstairs to your room. You changed into your pajamas, brushed your teeth, and started texting your friend Spencer. Spencer had asked you if she could spend the night over and you finally told her yes. You preoccupied yourself as you waited for her. You painted your nails and read a magazine. The curtains to your big arched window were open. The street lights, trees, and cars parked outside could be seen from your room. Nevertheless, your room could be seen by anyone. You get up and go to the window to check if Spencer was almost here. Spencer was a brown haired girl with fair skin and big brown eyes. She had a preppy way of dressing. She was the kind of girl who always needed to have perfect grades. Besides that she was a great friend. As you continued to look out the window you couldnt believe what you saw. It was the same clown you had seen at the old ladys house. It had been staring and observing you this whole time. How long could it have been standing there? You asked yourself. You wondered whether it was the person behind the black box. Your phone was vibrating. It was spencer she was downstairs. Right before you were about to go downstairs and open the door, you checked once again to see if the clown was there. It was gone as if it disappeared into thin air. Hey are you going to open the door? Im freezing out here! Spencer screamed. Ya. Sorry you told her. Spencer did you see it? What did I see? The clown with big red hair. No. Stop it your scaring me.. Cmon lets watch some old horror films. Spencer said. As both of you were walking towards the living room, Spencer saw the big black box and asked what It was. You explained how it suspiciously got to your house and how they

knew all your secrets. Spencer asked worriedly, What secrets? It couldnt possibly be about what happened last summer she thought to herself. It was summer of 09 when you and Spencer were forced to go to camp. Everything was going fine. Both of you made new friends and even hung out with boys. Ever since the last night at camp Nikiwah things went downhill from there. One of the new friends you made, who was named Tiffany, invited both of you to a party that night. Everything was going well until, she showed a video at the party of you sleeping with your stuffed animal. It had gotten you very angry and mad. The next day, it was time to leave and everyone was packing. A police officer and your leader came into the lodge to announce that a girl named Tiffany didnt come back to the lodge last night and was now missing. They announced if anyone had any information to call the police department. Both you and spencer looked at each other and swore to never tell a sole of what happened. Both of you fell asleep before the film even ended. It was the next morning, and your back door was opened. You quickly got up and woke up Spencer. There was another note in the kitchen counter. It said, If you dont do what I ask Im going to tell everyone what happened. This note ran chills through your body. You couldnt let the past be unwrapped. The fear of the truth now controlled you. The thought of this person watching your every move and at any moment unraveling your worst nightmare is running through your mind. The phone rang and it said private call. You were hesitant to answer, but you eventually did. A raspy voice on the other end ordered, If you want to save yourself then turn the tables on your friend. Shes a loser anyways. The person on the other end hung up. You turned to look at Spencer. She smiled at you and asked whats wrong. You told her it was your mom and she just called up to check in on you. Spencer looked at her watch and had to leave. As both of you went on with your schedules

both of you couldnt help, but think someone was watching your every move. Throughout the whole day you knew what you had to do. You must go to the police and convince them that Spencer killed Tiffany. You couldnt go to prison. It was almost midnight, you thought maybe that the person was done tormenting you. Ring! You picked up the phone. The person on the line whispered, Dont think Im not still watching you. You quickly hung up and left all your food at the supermarket. You started to walk as fast as you could back home. You began to hear leaves crackle as if someone was following you. You start to run. It starts getting closer. You see a tree big enough to hide in back of. You get to it believing you lost whatever it was that was following you. You receive a text message that says, I can see you, you cant hide from me. You start to panic when you realize its right beside you. Its the clown. You cried out, Get away from me. Why are you doing this? All it responded back was, You didnt do as I told you too! Terrorized you said, Spencer is my friend. I cant do that to her. Then you know what comes next. Im going to kill Spencer like you killed my friend Tiffany! it exclaimed. What are you talking about? you said. You know exactly what Im talking about it shouted as it had you by the hair. Okay! I killed her. I hit her with a bat and threw her down a wail. She deserved it! you alleged. Youre going to have to do whatever I say for the rest of your life. Youre going to pay for what you did! it angrily stated. Two shots are fired. You try to find out where its coming from. SPENCER, you yell! She says calmly, Its all over now! Both of you run off and the last thing you hear are sirens.
