You were sleeping in since it was Saturday…also known as your chill day. Dreams, silence, peace…until…BRIIINGGGG, your phone goes off. You crinkle your face as you try to ignore the call but it continued to ring. Eventually, driven mad from the ringing, you yank the phone off the nightstand, “Hello?!” “Oh god, I need you, ASAP,” Zach says dramatically. You sat up in your bed, rubbing your forehead, “What’s up, Zach…” “Just come over!” He shouts before hanging up. You sigh, what was supposed to be a “chill day” turned out to be totally different. You threw your sweatpants, fuzzy bunny slippers, and a baggy t-shirt on and headed to Zach’s house that was a few blocks up. His parents’ car wasn’t there so they must’ve been out. The back door was opened, “Zach,” You said walking up the stairs on the deck in the backyard that led to the kitchen. “Y/n,” He said quickly pulling you in for a hug. You’re confused, “What’s wrong?” “I’m dying. Mom and Dad went for a business trip and left me with…them,” He pointed to his little brother, Ryan, and little sister, Reese. You laughed, “Zach! You had me worried. It can’t be that bad.” “They’re never satisfied,” He frowned. “I’ll help you out,” You smiled at him. His rosy cheeks flashed, “Thanks.” “Are you Zach’s girlfriend?” Reese cocked her head to the side. You snorted while squinting your eyes, “Pft, no, no way…no.” “Who are you then?” “…I’m his best friend,” You looked back at him. He looked like he was forcing a smile. “We’re bored,” Ryan noted. “Let’s play a game,” You suggested. “What kind?” Reese shined her adorable teeth at you. “Uhm…tag?” “Hide and seek!” Ryan exclaimed. “That should be fun,” You shrugged at Zach. “I guess,” He said. “Who’s the seeker?” You looked around suspiciously. “YOU!” They all pointed at you before running to hide. “Geez,” You sighed, “I wanted to hide.” As you counted to 30, you heard footsteps in the room above you. Must be one of them, “30, ready or not here I come!” You laughed as you jogged up the stairs to the room you heard a thud in. The door slowly creaked as you slipped in, “I found you,” You said looking around for someone. You swung the closet door open, no one, you thought. Until you saw the shape of a body underneath a blanket, a smile crept across your face as you yanked the blanket off revealing a ghastly clown statue. Naturally, you screamed, causing Zach, Reese, and Ryan to run to the scene. “What’s wrong?” Zach quickly comforted you. “That clown statue, jeez Zach, I thought it was you,” You said holding your chest. “Clown statue? I don’t remember us owning a clown statue,” He lifted an eyebrow. “Probably something Dad stored up here,” Ryan added. “Let’s go play a board game,” Zach said looking at the closet. As you all went downstairs, the thought of the clown lingered. If there wasn’t anyone in the room, what were the footsteps you heard? At around 7:00 PM, It began to get dark. After hours of playing Uno, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, and Monopoly, you suggested they all watched a movie. “A Scary Movie,” Zach said with a sly smile. “Zach,” You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, scary!” Ryan joined Zach in creepy smiles. You looked at Reese, “You alright with that?” “Mhm,” She nodded. Zach turned off the lights upstairs and went to make a huge bowl of buttery popcorn. As you all waited for the movie to start, you heard the floor creak upstairs. You looked back to see where Zach was, “Zach?” He popped his head out from the kitchen, “Yeah?” Fear poked on your bones, “Zach…c'mere,” You said slightly whispering. “What’s wrong?” Ryan said. “Stay here,” You smiled to reassure them. Zach looked confused, “What?” “There’s something upstairs…” “Something?” “I heard creaking…like someone was walking,” You adjusted your sweatpants. “We can check it out, it’s probably nothing,” He laughed. You both walked up the stairs slowly, it was dark so you squinted your eyes to try and see. The room where the clown statue was had a light on, “Did you do that?” Zach shrugged with his eyebrow crinkled, “M'nah.” Bravery forced you to push the door open with a gasp. There was nothing but the clown statue standing there, with a life-like figure, it looked so real, “Ok, this thing is beyond creepy.” “I’ll call Dad to see if we can put it somewhere else,” Zach pulled his phone out. As he dialed his father’s number, you observed the statue. The artists that created it must’ve had god-sent tools, it looked like a human in a clown’s costume. But it was so still and lifeless, you brushed the thought. “Yeah…I dunno…it’s creeping Y/n out…what…what d'you mean…” Zach said before his eyes got wide and his pupils got small. He looked at you with a shocked look as if he’d been shot. “What?” You said confused yet worried. “He said…we don’t have a clown statue,” Zach said. Your eyes bolted to the statue. “Get out of there and call the cops,” You could hear Zach’s Dad saying through the phone. Your stomach dropped, the door was so close, yet so far. If this wasn’t a statue…then it must be a person. Out of nowhere, Zach pushed you out and slammed the door. You both shot downstairs and pulled Reese and Ryan from the couch. “What’s going on?” Ryan said. You could hear loud boots jogging across the floor upstairs, that made you move quicker. You ran outside to the neighbors’ house and called the cops.
Later that night, Zach, Ryan, and Reese stayed over your house. Zach’s parents’ were on an emergency flight home. It turned out the police searched the house, every nook, and cranny. They couldn’t find anything until they reached the basement. They found a hollow clown costume and a knife surrounded by glass. The “clown” was actually a wanted murderer and rapist. You were so happy that was got out safely. You thought about what would’ve happened if you didn’t investigate the footsteps you heard. Fear still lingered around you and Zach when you realized whoever the “clown” really was…he was still on the loose…
