I lay in bed staring up at the ceiling.

So far everything was normal. Everything was quiet.

It wouldn't last.

The bedside clocked showed 11:58. I shivered in anticipation. At 12:00 the voice would come and the normal, peaceful night would become plagued with fear and confusion.

I didn't know who they were? I didn't even know if it was someone. For all I know, it could just be me going crazy. But something told me it wasn't that. Something told me it was supernatural...

12:00am.

I fell silent, hardly daring to breath.

The silence droned on, starting to sound like a ringing in my ear.

Maybe they weren't going to show up tonight.

Hello Abby.

That was too much to hope for.

Have you considered what I asked you to do yesterday?

I swallowed and didn't reply.

Oh come on Abby, I know you can hear me. Let me remind you what I asked you to do. I need you to find that necklace for me.

"What's so special about the necklace anyway?" I found myself asking.

That's not important right now. Maybe if you agree to find it i'll feel more inclined to telling you.

I sighed. I didn't want to do anything the voice asked, but I found myself thinking about saying yes. It couldn't hurt, could it? But why this necklace?

"Who are you?" I asked for the ninth night in a row, but still knowing it wouldn't answer.

Again, that's not important right now.

"I just want to know if you're real or if i'm going crazy." I whispered.

Locate the necklace and you'll find out.

I hesitated. I really wanted to ignore the voice and just go to sleep. It was bad enough dreaming about my dead boyfriend and his accident every night, without having to talk to a voice in my head on top of that.

"Fine!" I gasped. "But I don't remember where I threw it."

Immediately I regretted my decision.

The necklace was mine. Why should I listen to the voice? Besides, nobody else I know has a creepy, whispering in their head. Anyway, the necklace was special to me. Although my boyfriend is dead, I still love him. I treasure anything that reminds me or holds memories of him. True love never dies. Before I had a chance to state my thoughts, the voice buts in... 

Good, i'm so glad you're going to help. I have a faint idea of where it is but not an exact location. I'm going to look around and get back to you. I'll talk to you soon.

I breathed deeply in and out. The voice was going, for now at least. It never went this early.

We're going to have so much fun.

I felt it leave my head.

I frowned. The voice had said it was going to 'look around'. An uneasy smile settled on my face.

I wasn't crazy. The voice belonged to someone, or something.

No, I wasn't crazy...
