Evelyn blew all the candles on her strawberry flavoured cake. She lifted up the knife which was kept next to the cake and started to cut her birthday cake happily. Her family started to sing with joy as she was cutting when suddenly, they heard a knock on the door.

Evelyn's mother went to open and as soon as she did a few strangers walked in.

"Stop this party now!" An old man said.

Among them there were also a few policemen.

"Wait. Who are you?" Evelyn's father asked.

"We do not have time for an introduction. Stop all this singing. We have to take your daughter with us now!" The man said.

"What? No!" Everlyn's father exclaimed.

Everyone in the party were confused. They could not understand what was happening. The policemen had guns in their hands.

"We have to save her from that girl! And she has to come with us." One of the policemen said.

"Which girl?" Evelyn asked.

"Fiona. The birthday girl." The old man replied.

As soon as he mentioned that name, everyone freaked out in the house.

"Who is Fiona?" Evelyn asked.

"Umm no one. Just don't listen to them." Evelyn's father said. He then walked towards the old man.

He whispered : " You know we do not believe in these stories. Please go away with your group. Don't ruin my daughter's big day by scaring her. She is turning 18 today!"

Everyone was staring at him.

"Everything is okay everyone. No need to panic. Let's continue with the party." He then said and turned to Evelyn.

"Eve. Cut the cake." Her dad ordered.

"But it is true! You know Fiona attacks everytime someone turns 18 years old. Please, your daughter's life is in danger." The old man persisted.

This caused Evelyn's father to be more irritated.

"I told you to go away. We do not believe in these stories." He started to shout.

He then walked towards the door and opened it.

"Please leave." He said.

The old man and the policemen said nothing and left.

Evelyn's father closed the door and took a deep breathe.

"I'm very sorry guys. Please let's continue." He apologised to his guests.

"Dad, what was he talking about?" Evelyn asked.

"Nothing honey. Cut the cake now. We have guests waiting." Her father said.

Evelyn smiled and did what she was asked to. All the guests started to sing as she cut her cake.

Suddenly, the door of the house opened. A young girl entered. She looked very beautiful. She had green eyes and long black eye lashes which made her eyes look big. Her skin was really pale as if she was suffering from anemia. She was so white that some of her veins near her eyes were visible. Her long, black and silky hair reached till her waist. She wore a short purple dress that reached her knees. She looked like a cute teenage girl, but, her right foot was backwards.

When the guests saw her, a tensed look built on their faces. They all froze as they watched her walking in.

Evelyn's mother grabbed the arm of her husband as she stammered, "She...she is...real."

The girl started singing. Her voice was very beautiful. She sang gracefully.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Evelyn. Happy birthday to you."

"Stop!" Evelyn's father yelled at her.

However, the girl didn't listen to him. She continued singing as she walked towards Evelyn.

Evelyn was scared. When she saw the feet of that stranger girl, her head started to ache.

Not knowing what to do, Evelyn's dad walked towards the girl and grabbed her arm to stop her. As soon as he did so, the girl turned her face and looked at him. Her eyes were completely black and smoke was coming out of them. She didn't stop singing at all.

Seeing her creepy black eyes, Evelyn's mother fainted and all the guests were filled with terror. They started to scream for help. Some of them ran out of the house. Evelyn was terrified and he reflex caused her to throw the knife that was in her hands at the girl but the knife passed through her and hit a guest that was trying to escape. She was a ghost. Evelyn started to cry. Even in all this chaos, the girl didn't stop singing.

Suddenly, the lights went off, yet, the girl was still singing.
After a few seconds, she stopped.
They then heard screams. The scream of a girl. The scream of.....Evelyn.

The lights came on and the girl was gone, so was Evelyn.

The birthday girl took her away.
