Last night at 1.05am, I was awoken by Daisy (my phone), who seemed to be trying to vibrate herself off my bedside cabinet. I grabbed it before it fell and looked at the caller ID; just some random number, and besides it's late, so I reject it. Then I see that they'd called before at 12.05am (I slept through that one) and had left a message. Curious, I decided to check it out.

The first thing I heard was a tolling bell, and I knew straight off that Something Was Not Right. Next, the sound of someone breathing in and out, in that heavy, nasal way horror movie killers have of breathing. There was a kind of whispery noise, a deep sigh in my ear, and then a sort of scraping, sliding noise, like something (a body, said my overimaginative mind) being dragged across ground. The bell tolled again, and again. Another deep sighing breath.
All this took 5 seconds.
By this point I was freaking out like all hell. I didn't know who was calling me or why, but I was 150% certain that it was some wierdo hell-bent on scaring the crap out of me, who had somehow got hold of my number. And if they had my number, what's to say they didn't know more? Like, say, where I lived. And they'd called twice, in the middle of the goddam night.
I ripped the phone away from my ear and pressed hang up. All this did was clear the number "1" from the screen- you press that to listen to your messages you see.
Another toll of the bell. Another deep breath.
I stabbed the hang up button again and this time it hung up. By then I was really, really freaking out. I expected the voice belonging to the breathing to say something like, "the bell tolls for you!" in a freaky voice and cause me to have a heart attack. I figured it was one of those stupid prank calls you get, where your friend calls them and they call you and claim you're their long lost kid or something whilst your friend wets themself laughing at your reaction.
But in the middle of the night? Who the fuck is awake enough, and mean enough, to want to scare me at 1am on Friday morning when I have to go to work in 7.5 hours?

And so I did what I am very good at doing, as most people who know me know; I got scared. My heart was beating so fast and so hard that I could physically feel it beating, like a fist trapped inside of me trying to uncurl its fingers again and again and again.

I am 15 years old; this is a good age because you are neither adult nor child, and so can act like either one as you will. At this point I did what I would have done had I been 5 years old again and seeing venemous pythins in the towel rail; I went and woke up my mum. It took me about 5 minutes to come to this decision, largely because today is my mum's birthday. I figured it would have been pretty mean of me to wake her up today, of all days. But I did, because it was that or sit tight for 6 hours waiting for some psychopath to call me again/burst through the window and kill me to death.

So anyway. My poor old mum was very good natured, she got me a glass of water and made me calm down and all, and then she got my phone and listened to the whole message. It went on just as I described it above for over a minute. There was another after that, pretty much the same, that they must'v left when I rejected the call upon waking up. She then said to turn silly Daisy off and go back to bed, both of which I did, having by then returned to the more adult side of 15 and begun to feel like a bit of a fool for getting so worked up over a stupid phone call.

SOOO anyway, that is what happened. That is but one question answered though, what I want to know now is WHO and WHY?
The only people I ever give my number to are my friends. So I am kind of forced to come to the conclusion that someone has either passed it on or delibarately done this. The only person who has my number who isn't my friend used to be, but why she'd decide to be a bitch again now (we haven't had any contact in over a year) of all times is beyond me.

SO. If you are the culprit, or if you passed my number on, please let me know. I'm not going to be mad, I swear, I'm a very forgiving person (which is largely why only one person out of all I ever gave my number to is no longer someone I wish to know). I just want to know who did it and, if possible, why. If you did it for laughs then there you go, I bet you found my description of recieving the calls hilarious. Now own up. You owe me.

Thanks for reading and/or attempting to help me track the psycho xD
