Nancy's Game

Amanda opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle beer and closed it back. She uncorked the beer and took a sip.

"You wanna…?" she left the other words to hang in the air.

"Yeah" Jane replied. Nancy was leaning on the door, staring at them. Amanda opened the fridge again and took out another bottle for Jane. She handed it over to Jane after opening it.

"Vodka?" Jane asked after taking a sip.

"I don't know" Amanda replied.

"Is this a vodka?" Jane looked at Nancy where she was standing and asked.

"Caffeine" Nancy replied.

"Not tasting like one" Jane replied and took a pour this time.

"You don't know what you are drinking? You should stop, you're too young to drink" Deb who was frying some eggs said.

"I'm 20" Jane said.

"Shit, you're a kid" Deb replied and Amanda scoffed. Jane looked at Amanda.

"What?" Amanda shrugged.

"Whatever" Jane replied and continued with her drink.

"If I were you, I would be yoga-ring my life in some big hall with a young Chinese or Korean lady, don't you think so?' Deb chuckled at Jane.

"Me?" Jane laughed and looked at Nancy.

"I'm a celebrity" Nancy replied.

"Yeah, I remembered when I looked at you. How many followers you gat on instagram now?" Jane responded.

"I'm not only on Instagram" Nancy replied

"622 thousand" Amanda replied.

"Impressive" Jane snickered and faced Deb.

"I gat 1k only and they are all from Fosterland" Jane said.

"Including Jake?" Amanda asked.

"Fuck you" she replied and headed back to the parlor.

David who was coming into the kitchen, looking at her while passing her.

"What?" she looked at him and continued her way. David looked at her and smiled.

"Hey, the line is ringing' he said to Nancy, giving her the pink cord phone.

"Thank you" she forced a smile to him and took the phone from him. David smiled back and returned to Jane. Nancy stared at the phone that was ringing on her hand and sighed heavily.

"This is Nancy" Nancy spoke after placing the phone on her left ear.

"The name's Nancy?" a strange voice asked.

"Who's this?"

"Guess"

"Can you just tell me please? Not in the mood to play some guess game" Nancy replied.

"What do you mean you are not in the mood? I called for a game."

"What?"

"I wanna play a game with you" the voice continued.

"Jake?" Nancy called and listened for a reply. The voice went dead for a while but responded when Nancy said…

"Hello"

"Who's Jake?" the voice asked Nancy.

"What? I know he's the serial killer"

"They told you?"

"You'll soon be caught, I promise you that"

"Wanna play a game?"

"Fuck you"

"Is that a Yes?"

"It's a fucking no"

"Nobody says no to my game, it's a compulsory"

"And if I refuse to play?"

"I'll kill Amanda, I'll kill Jane, I'll kill David, I'll kill the widowed cop and his kids and I'll slice you throat you throat with my glorious knife" The voiced replied. Nancy looked at Amanda and Deb who were eating on the kitchen counter and were laughing happily.

"You and I knows that you can never hurt Jane" Nancy replied.

"Why don't you try me Nancy?"

"What do you want?"

"A game with you"

"What game?" Nancy breathed in.

"Truth or Dare"

"Any conditions?" she added.

"Only you play, I only give you the daring and the asking. You lie you die, you fail to do the dare, you die"

"Fuck you"

"Choose" the voice began.

"Truth"

"You are not a virgin. Who gave you your first pleasure?"

"I'm a virgin, you sucker"

"Mmmm"

"It's truth again" Nancy continued.

"No" the voice said slowly.

"What's no?

"You can't choose truth in a row, its dare now"

"That's bullshit" she said loudly and Deb looked at her. Their eyes caught each other and Nancy looked away.

"Something is wrong with Nancy" Deb whispered to Amanda.

"She's just freaked out" Amanda said after looking at her.

"I dare you to pick the knife beside the door and give yourself a deep cut in the arm" the voice requested. Nancy stared at the knife and picked it up. she placed on her and wanted to cut.

"What are you doing Nancy?" Jane interrupted.

"It's a dare" The voice said.

"Shit" Deb said and rushed Nancy. She took the phone her immediately and hit the knife out from her hand.

"Why don't you just come into the house and talk to us in person instead of hidin in a phone.

"I'm in already" the voice responded.

"She was talking with the killer?" Amanda stood up, meeting them.

"He said he'll kill us all"

"Where's Maxine?" Deb asked.

"Oh my God, he didn't put her in the list of people he called for me"

"They got her?" Jane asked, looked at Deb and Amanda.

"Where the fuck is she? MAXINE!!!" Deb yelled her name.
