Mary was giggling under her pillow as she and Jen laid in bed talking about Mark from school. `` So, what did he say??'' Jen asked excitedly. 
 
 `` Just'Hi', Mary said, almost disappointed in the chat response she got back from Mark. `` I guess he does n't like me that much.'' 
 
 `` Come on Mar, you're so popular, how could he not like you? Maybe he's just being coy.'' 
 
 `` You think?'' Mary said with a glowing expression expanding across her face. `` Ooh, he is so hot. I hope he does like me.'' 
 
 Both Mary and Jen squirmed and buried their faces in the pillows to screech out loud but not be heard by the other girls at the slumber party. Mary was taking a long satisfying sign when her phone chirped again, announcing an incoming snapchat. Mary began to frown. 
 
 `` What is it, Mar? Did Mark say something?'' 
 
 Mary stared at the phone for what felt like a long time. Jen tapped Mary on the shoulder to get her attention. 
 
 `` No, it's not from Mark. I do n't know who this is and I have gotten a few creepy pictures from this account before that made me think they were following me. I do n't remember ever friending this person and I unfriended the account the last time I got a picture from it. I do n't understand why I am still getting this? But now I'm a little worried.'' 
 
 Jen pursed her lips and grabbed Mary's phone and looked at the picture. `` Is n't this your front yard?'' Mary nodded in agreement. 
 
 The phone chirped again and both Mary and Jen looked at the chat. Mary caught her breath as Jen let out what they were both feeling. `` Oh shit Mar! That's your front door. You sure you have no idea who this is?'' 
 
 The other girls from the party were now gathering around when the next text arrived. Mary and Jen held the phone so everyone could see. They opened the picture to see the front hallway of Mary's house. It was *inside! * 
 
 No one heard the door open or the latch rattle yet there was the picture of the stairs with the red carpet and the pictures of Mary's family on the wall. Mary began to cry ever so softly as a single tear ran down her cheek. The other girls provided hushed exclamations of fear as they realized what was going on. 
 
 `` Who is this?!?'' Mary said. 
 
 Another Chirp came from the phone. Mary closed her eyes and threw the phone to the bed. `` I, I, ca n't look,'' she whimpered. 
 
 Jen turned the phone over and checked the picture. She began to cry as well as the other girls reached for the phone to see the chat. The picture was at the top of the stairs looking down the hallway right at Mary's bedroom door. The girls climbed up on the bed huddled in a mass trying to understand what was happening. 
 
 `` This is a joke, right? A Joke. It's just my brother playing a prank. It has to be.'' The fear was getting to Mary and she screamed out toward the door. `` This is n't funny Bobby! I'm telling Mom and Dad! Now CUT IT OUT!!'' 
 
 The other girls were whimpering and screaming quietly while Jen tried to get control of the situation. `` SHHH! SHH! Quiet Mary. They will know where we are.'' 
 
 `` Look at the pictures Jen. They already know where we are. BOBBY! I'm going to kill you for this!!'' Mary growled and got herself up out of the bed convinced enough that it had to be her brother since he would be the only person who could actually get in the house with their parents away for the weekend. She started for the door when the next text arrived. 
 
 She flipped the phone over and the picture showed the outside of Mary's bedroom door. She stood there frozen for a moment looking at the chat but found in her a strength to put her fear aside and tell Bobby off. As she reached for the door the knob on the door began to turn slowly, the metallic scratch piercing everyone ears as it turned. The girls tried to hide behind the bed or dove for the closet. 
 
 Jen hid behind the pillows watching Mary move towards the door. `` No, Mary do n't! you do n't know what...'' 
 
 Mary grabbed the handle and swung the door open wide. She was ready to give Bobby a big piece of her mind but there was nothing there. There was no one there. Another Chirp could be heard coming from the phone. Mary's hands were shaking as she turned to look at the picture. 
 
 It was a picture of her back looking out into the hallway from the bedroom. She felt someone breathing on her neck. The other girls in the room began to scream hysterically. Then Mary felt the cold of a boney hand rest on her shoulder.
