Emma: Hey, Jake. Did you get a weird text message today?

Jake: Hey, Em. No, nothing unusual. What kind of text?

Emma: I got this message from an unknown number. It said, "Meet me at the old oak tree at midnight. Your life depends on it."

Jake: What?! That’s creepy. Are you messing with me?

Emma: I’m serious. Look, I’ll screenshot it and send it to you.

Jake: Got it. That’s... wow. Did you respond?

Emma: No way. I blocked the number immediately.

Jake: Probably a good call. But still, that’s really weird.

Emma: Jake, it’s happening again. Another text, this time from a different number. It says, "You can’t avoid your destiny. Midnight. Old oak tree."

Jake: Okay, this is getting freaky. Are you sure it’s not someone playing a prank on you?

Emma: I thought about that, but who would go this far? And how are they changing numbers so quickly?

Jake: Good point. Should we go to the police?

Emma: Maybe. But what if it’s nothing? I don’t want to waste their time.

Jake: I get that. But your safety comes first.

Jake: Emma, I can’t stop thinking about those texts. Do you want me to come over?

Emma: I appreciate it, but I’m okay. I locked all the doors and windows. I’ll just stay inside.

Jake: Good idea. Keep your phone close. Call me if anything happens.

Emma: Will do. Thanks, Jake.

Emma: Jake, are you awake?

Jake: Yeah, what’s up?

Emma: I heard something outside. Like footsteps.

Jake: Stay calm. Don’t go outside. Can you see anything?

Emma: No, it’s too dark. But the sound stopped.

Jake: I’m coming over. Hang tight.

Emma: Okay, thanks. I’m really scared.

Jake: Emma, I’m outside your house. I don’t see anything unusual. Do you want me to come in?

Emma: Yes, please. The door’s unlocked.

Jake: I’m coming in. Stay where you are.

Emma: Jake, you’re here. Thank God. I was freaking out.

Jake: I checked around the house. Everything seems fine. But we should stay alert.

Emma: I agree. I don’t know what those texts were about, but it’s unsettling.

Jake: Let’s just sit tight and see if anything else happens.

Unknown Number: "You were warned."

Emma: Jake, I just got another text.

Jake: What does it say?

Emma: "You were warned." That’s it.

Jake: This is getting out of hand. We need to call the police.

Emma: Agreed. I’ll do it now.

Police: "Ma’am, we’ve traced the number. It’s coming from inside your house."

Emma: What?! How is that possible?

Police: "We’re on our way. Stay where you are and lock yourself in a room."

Emma: Jake, they said the texts are coming from inside the house!

Jake: What?! That’s insane. We need to get out of here.

Emma: I’m too scared to move.

Jake: Okay, let’s go to the basement. We can lock ourselves in there until the police arrive.

Emma: Good idea. Let’s go.

Emma: We’re in the basement. The door is locked. I can’t believe this is happening.

Jake: It’s going to be okay. The police will be here soon.

Unknown Number: "You shouldn’t have ignored the warning."

Emma: Jake, another text. "You shouldn’t have ignored the warning."

Jake: This is beyond creepy. Just stay calm. The police are almost here.

Police: "Ma’am, we’re here. Please come out slowly."

Emma: Thank God. We’re coming up.

Emma: Officer, what did you find?

Police: "We found an old phone hidden in your attic. It was rigged to send those texts at specific times."

Jake: Someone went to a lot of trouble to scare you.

Emma: But why? Who would do this?

Police: "We’re investigating, but for now, you’re safe. We’ll keep a patrol car outside your house tonight."

Emma: Thank you, officers.

Jake: This has been one hell of a night.

Emma: No kidding. But I’m glad it’s over.

Jake: Me too. Let’s get some rest. We’ll figure out the rest in the morning.

Unknown Number: "You still don’t understand. This is just the beginning."

Emma: Jake, another text...

Jake: What does it say?

Emma: "You still don’t understand. This is just the beginning."

Jake: We’re not done yet. This nightmare is far from over.

Emma: What are we going to do?

Jake: Whatever it takes to find out who’s behind this. And stop them.
