Horror Stories

***

"Alright, listen here. I let you do whatever you wanted for the first video but from now we have to act as proper WeTubers."

"Okiee!" Yeah, she is definitely not taking me any seriously.

The success of the first video boosted her motivation to keep going even more and my plan to just ditch this channel after a few videos went down the drain.

"But still, you managed to learn some skills on your own and are even keeping up with the study. *gasps*  Are you some genius?!"

"Maybe,"

"Boooo! Dry answers."

"Study!" I reminded her of the actual purpose of us being here.

"Yeah Yeah." And finally, we actually managed to do some study.

At 9 PM we were both ready to start recording the video. Of course, I first introduced myself to her father and took his permission. I also talked with him about something else but let's leave that aside for now. We turned off the lights in the room and lit up a candle to make the atmosphere a little suitable for horror stuff. I also played a creepy tune on the speakers because why not.

I set up the camera and we sat around the table with the candle on it and took the pages on which we had written our horror stories. In that dim light when I saw her face, she looked so beautiful that I got a little embarrassed. I am sure I was blushing pretty hard but thanks to the darkness she didn't notice. Since this was the first time a girl came to my room, that added to my embarrassment.

"So, are you ready?" I asked her. The camera was already rolling. After doing the introductory scene of the video, we decided to start.

"All right! I am starting!" she said so cheerfully that it felt like she was about to recite a poem instead of telling something horror.

"So this is a story from my old school." She lowered her voice to the point that it finally suited the video. I guess she wasn't that dumb.

"There was a rumor at our old school that the old storeroom in a corner of our school grounds was haunted. It was very old so it remained open. One night, this group of students decided to sneak into the school to explore it at night as a challenge. They didn't knew about the storeroom so when they were about to be caught by the security guard, they hid inside the storeroom. However, when they tried to open the door again... it won't open. They would not call for help because they knew they will be chewed out by the guard and the school." I guess the real horror part is about to start now.

"They all started to look for windows or things to help them get out of there without raising a commotion, however... one of the guys suddenly saw something. His voice couldn't come out of his throat. He patted the shoulder of others and pointed and everyone else also froze in their place. There was a fan with the body of a girl hanging to it facing the wall. All of a sudden, The whole face rotated backward and she said..."

Suddenly a loud and terrifying voice came from behind me "GET OUT!!" 

I got a big jumpscare and my knee hit the table with full force as I almost jumped out of my place. "Where the hell did this come from?!" I said as I groaned with pain grabbing my knee. Meanwhile, she was laughing wholeheartedly.

"HAHAHA!! Th-that thing behind you, HAHAHA!!" She pointed behind me still laughing.

"What is behind me?" I turned behind and saw a small mini portable Bluetooth speaker. Apparently, she placed it there while I was setting up the camera and because of very little light, I wasn't able to spot it too. She played that voice from her mobile which was connected to the speaker via Bluetooth to scare me. I wasn't scared even the least bit because of the story however this unexpected jumpscare got me.

"YOU!! Just wait. I will make you regret this!" I said still holding my knee because of pain.

"Yeah! we will see." And she still laughing.

"And that story was all fake too, I guess."

"Of course! All right, now your turn." I swear I will make her cry with fear my turn.

I sat up straight, ready to tell my story with a grim expression and a low and heavy voice trying to make the atmosphere more scarier.

"This is the story of our neighborhood. A small distance ahead is a house where a single woman used to live. She would stay out late till night and sleep almost the whole day. One night, surprisingly, she was home as the light was shining out from the windows. Around midnight, a sudden shriek came out of her hou— "

Something happened that sucked the soul out of our bodies. It was faint but we could definitely hear a shriek calling "HELP ME!!"

It came from Kayo's house.
