Katie is missing?

Meanwhile, the remaining girls continued their boisterous conversation, unaware of the eerie silence that descended upon the house. Minutes turned into an eternity as anxiety gnawed at their hearts.

"Say, what's taking Katie so long?" Sarah asked.

"I don't know. It's not like my house is big enough for her to get lost?" Lily giggled and hiccuped from drinking the wine.

"It shouldn't take her this long to bring the pizza up. I say we should go check up on her," Emma, growing impatient, suggested they all go downstairs to see what was taking Katie so long.

As they descended the creaking staircase, a chilling gust of wind swept through the hallway, causing goosebumps to rise on their arms. A flicker of fear danced in their eyes as they braced themselves for what awaited them. Once they descended down to the front door, they realized that Katie and the pizza deliverer were nowhere to be found adding to their confusion. The girls grew worried that they couldn't find Katie anywhere so they looked outside out of the front door window.

To their utter horror, the girls stumbled upon a haunting sight outside. In the moonlit darkness, illuminated by flickering streetlights, Katie's limp form was tied to a gnarled tree trunk, her porcelain skin ghostly pale against the stark blackness. She was completely naked, **** and exposed from head down to her feet, revealing a terrifying vulnerability that contrasted sharply with their drunken joviality. They watched her wiggle and squirm in her bonds, struggling to be free. Tears of embarrassment rolling down her cheeks.

Shock and disbelief held the girls captive, their minds racing to comprehend the unimaginable. A crescendo of fear welled up within them, threatening to drown out everything around them.

Suddenly, the shrill ringing of the phone shattered the eerie silence. Its jarring sound reverberated through the house, jolting the girls out of their trance. Trembling, Sarah took tentative steps towards the living room, glancing back at her friends for reassurance. Collecting her courage, she answered the call with a trembling hand.

A raspy voice emanated from the other end, its muffled tone instigating a chilling tremor down her spine. "Did you like my little surprise?" the voice whispered sinisterly. "You haven't seen the half of what's to come."

A symphony of screams erupted from the girls, their fear merging into a collective anguish. They clung to one another, trembling with terror and seeking solace amidst the chaos. As the voice faded away, leaving only an eerie silence, the girls knew their carefree night had turned into a horrifying nightmare.
