When You See It Scary Novels & Stories

The couch dipped as Logan sat, and I joined him, an arm’s length away. Our selection, a scary movie, was Logan’s idea—a genre I confessed to having a soft spot for, despite my nerves tonight. The opening credits rolled, and the lights of the living room dimmed, leaving only the flicker of the TV screen to cut through the darkness. The eerie music soon crept up the walls, and the first jumpscare sent a jolt through my body. My hands flew to my face, shielding my eyes. I could hear Logan’s chuckle next to me, a sound that should’ve been comforting but instead was a reminder of the dangerous game I was playing.

Zach and Meg screamed unanimously at the top of their voices when they saw the figure standing watching them. It felt like a horror movie where a scary ghost or doll is revealed in the blink of an eye. It gets scary when there is a little awareness of the figure, at least, one would expect something. But it gets more scary when you don't expect something and boom, you see it. Unprepared, unimagined. Maybe, vice versa. Either way, your spinal cord will freeze and the hairs in one's hair will immediately sprout followed by formation of goose bumps. That was exactly the same way Zach and Meg felt when saw Kristien.

This was how girls in horror movies ended up missing. Then— Something moved. Just a blur. Behind me. Then in front. Then to the side. I spun in a circle, heart racing now. My breaths turned shallow. My palms were damp. “Alright,” I said, my voice shaking, “I don’t know what kind of prank this is, but I’m not scared of you.” Lies. I was terrified. Then I saw them. Eyes. Not just any eyes—glowing eyes. Golden. Piercing. Watching me from the shadows like a predator. My body locked up.

she whispered without looking at me. “Scared? With what?” What the fuck? “With you,” she answered right away. I sighed. “I would never hurt you, Hailey. Why are you scared of me?” I asked desperately. “You look scary.” She was still looking at her hands and never made any eye contact with me again. I touched my face. What made Hailey scare of me? Do I really look like a monster? I had a thin line scar, but it wasn’t visible unless you took a closer look.

I stand up straight with my clothes in my hands. It was only your imagination. I say over and over again in my head. Just then I see something move out of the corner of my eye, when I spin around, I see something move behind the lockers so fast I'm almost convinced I didn't see it. "H-hello?" I call out, "Yeah, hey, I'm just a creepy guy watching you change. By the way, I'm going to kill you." The dark figure says, coming out of the shadows.

"Let's not talk about death when I binged watch a ton of scary movies last night. I swear I couldn't wake up to pee last night, there were eyes everywhere," His words made me roll my eyes. Scary movies and Colby weren't a good combination. I was just surprised he hadn't disturbed my sleep by calling and saying Chucky was outside his window this time around. "Did we not talk about this last time Colby? Scary movies aren't your thing. Try some drama series." I sighed. "If I watch drama series I'd basically be manifesting drama into my subconscious mind." He whined. I look at him with a raised brow. "So you want to manifest scary shit instead?"

Alexander gushes in excitement. "Okay I will come." Rushes Amara. She wanted to get out of the devil's abode some way or the other. Nothing he speaks next goes inside Amara's head. "Alex I am feeling very frightened here. Everybody had gone out to watch a horror movie playing at a nearby theater and I am alone. Could you please come home instead of the driver to pick me?

She ran to the cabinet and took a cd and came to me to show that. "Into the tall grass. Well, I didn't see it either. Let's watch this together." "Okay." The movie started. She wrapped herself in a blanket over her. It looked cute. Will she hug me when get scared like how they show in movies? Let's wait for that. "Woah! It's going in a loop." "Yeah. To understand we have to watch from the beginning it seems." She nodded while looking at the screen. It seems scary on the way.

I see a dark silhouette hunched over the desk that used to be occupied by Ethan before he moved to my mom’s department. My stomach drops. The figure starts to move, and dread curls around me, paralyzing every ounce of reaction. My mouth falls open, and I’m about to scream, but no sound escapes. The figure moves toward the wall, and I watch in horror, my eyes bulging in fear. Is it a monster? I think to myself, heart pounding. I’ve seen scenes like this in movies, where the monster gets its prey. Tears start to slide down my face, and I wonder if I’m going to die here. My heart races faster, making it hard to breathe properly.

I yelled subconsciously and trying to break out from the trap I think I'm in. Someone was kneading my butt from behind and I tried to find Cole or is that everyone looks like Cole? I breath hard, gasp as a gripping sensation flushes inside me. Unfortunately, everything is blurry, I feel weaker, subconsciously and so scared that I froze. Please... someone help me, I don't know what's happening to me. I can't think, horror wears me off and my heart keeps hammering. Everyone looks like a joker, they're scary and why?
