“ No, Ethan replied. His voice changed slowed down. “I told you it wasn’t him that told me to call you. It was all my idea.”

“Oh yeah, OK, I believe you.” She replied, there was a pause and then the line beeped to indicate an incoming call. “Hold on, there’s another call,” Abby said in a monotone voice

 “Really, I’ll wait.” Ethan said.

“ No, don’t bother,” she said, and she switched the lines. “Hello?” she asked. There was a pause. She was about to press the button and go back to see if Ethan was still on the line. But then she heard a sound.

 It only said one word “Abigail.”

She closed her eyes and her hand dropped the pen. She knew it was him.

“Abigail, I know you’re there. Abby Abby” he said the last two words in a singsong voice. It was the same tone that her brother had always teased her when she was up in the tree. “Are you up in a tree? you’re home alone. You can’t see me.”

“What do you want?” She whispered. Saying it more to herself than him

“ I want you Abby. You can’t leave. I’m outside, I’ll see you.”He said.

“ Leave me alone,” she whispered desperately

“ Abby, Abby what shall we do? I can see you,” Abby jerked her head around.  No one was there.

“You can’t. You can’t see me,” she said finally, gripping the phone tightly; “You are just trying to scare me.”

“Why don’t you look out the window Abigail?” Said the singsong voice. “abby abby”

 Abby glanced towards the front window. There was a blue car she could see it parked in the street. She didn’t think, but dropped to the floor around the corner, up into the hall.

“Go way,” she hissed. Feeling close to tears, “go away and leave me alone.”
