(I mean about the message.)
Here it is....
It's called....
Ready or not, here I come....
[And here it is....] :
The date was the 11th. A Wednesday.
Janet was fourteen years old and had promised to look after her neighbors. An eight year old and a six year old. She had managed to convince her friends to help her babysit. The babysitting took place at night.
The babysitting would start at 8 PM and end somewhere around the time of....Oh, the parents said maybe about the earliest being 11 O'Clock PM and the latest being 2 O'Clock AM.
Lucky for the girls, the babysitting was two nights away, so they got to enjoy themselves for two nights before babysitting two obnoxious, annoying little children.
_____________________________________________________
Janet's friends that were helping babysit, Martha and Carla, came over to her house each night before the babysitting took place. Their night ended with a sigh as they recalled their promises.
All three of the girls slept at Janet's house in her room. They stayed up late savoring the day before their Babysitting Job. They watched scary movies, and when they were all over they chuckled and talked about how fake they were.
Not to mention about how they said that nothing in the dumb movies would ever happen. "Michael Mires, Shmichael Shmires," Martha had chuckled, and they had all laughed about it all night.
Even though it was about 2:30 in the morning, the girls still weren't tired. They discussed some stuff and finally fell asleep around 3 O'Clock.
The 'next' day went by fast. Janet, Martha, and Carla had fun, and then it was finally 8 PM, and time for babysitting.
Readying themselves, the three girls didn't argue when they picked up Alex and Linda, the little boy and girl that their babysitting was forced apon them.
Even though until 10 O'Clock PM they watched TV, the girls were still unhappy because it was little kid's shows.
And worst of all, at 10 PM, when it was completely pitch black outside, Linda and Alex pleaded to go play outdoor hide-and-go seek.
"Dumb kids," Janet had growled. Carla didn't want to go out, being the worrier that she was.
"You two, come on, it'll be fine," Martha had reassured them, and they had listened to her and went outside with the kids.
Or maybe she was wrong, Carla had thought through the whole time. Nextdoor, there was a tiny feild with gigantic woods.
Reluculantly the three girls had no choice but to follow when Linda and Alex insisted on hiding there.
Not wanting to go along with it, Carla was chosen to be the 'seeker' for the game.
Only left by herself, Carla had to wait thirty seconds for Alex, Linda, and her two best friends, Martha and Janet, to hide.
The thirty seconds went by rather slowly for poor Carla, and when they were up, she knew she had to go and find the two children and her two best friends.
"Here I come!" Carla called to alert them, raising her voice, but not too much. Carla was a quiet girl, and it was actually quite a challenge for her to yell....
....Except when she was alone, having fun with Janet and Martha. Then she realized she had forgotten the first part. "Er...."
"....Ready or not!" Carla added with a tiny giggle to herself, so quiet she could barely hear it.
Everything was silent for a few moments. And then there was the tiniest, faintest, most quiet rustle. An accident, it seemed.
It startled Carla a bit, but she ignored her fears and crept towards the noise. "Alex, I knwo your there, and I'm gonna get'cha!" She teased quietly.
Creeping even closer, Carla turned at another sound, though this time it was a whisper. So farmilar....Janet! She decided quickly, almost jumping with excitment, although Carla realized it wasn't for her.
"....Or else I'll smack you outta your shoes! So don't make a noise," Janet was warning someone with a faint chuckle of laughter.
"Make me," Came the reply. No....The replieS. Of Martha, Linda, and....Alex. Carla felt a shiver rampage through her body and her blood turned ice cold. What had make the rustle infront of her?
Even as she was about to scream for help, the scream did come out. But it wasn't only for help. It was in fear and pain as another rustle neared her and the cold, hard, sharp surface of a knife slithered across her throat.

The body of Carla was found the next morning after Martha and Janet had fled with Alex and Linda.
Inside the thick cut in Carla's bloody neck was a bloody note.
It read the same message that was writted on this very page.
Though you may not have recignized it.
If you look closely, you'll see that the paragraphs above contain a message.
To discover the message, you must start with the paragraph that begins with these words:
'Janet's friends that were helping babysit, Martha and Carla,' and read from there.
Read each letter starting from the 'J,' AKA the first letter in each line.
If you didn't understand, the message read (With a little extra signature added at the bottom,) :
'Janet, ready or not, here I come.
Signed,
Your buddy Shmichael Shmires.
PS- Have you noticed what day it is?
Friday The Thirteenth, the day you watched my movie. 8') '
Sorry but who asks some kids to babysit on Friday the 13th?
Also if Janet was threatened then why was Carla killed?
Aside from my pickiness, it's a really cool story, and for anyone to be able to do that, is amazing.
