Prompt: A girl around the age of 14 has an older brother about 18 and he invites some of his friends to spend the night there and decide to scare the girl. At the end after some scary pranks, they show up like tickle monsters and tickle her.
———————————————————————————
Kayla stared around her dark bedroom huddled up in her layers of thick blankets. Maybe watching a horror film at 11:30 at night wasn't the best idea. But in her defence, it seemed a good idea when her brother kept teasing her about her hate for scary films.
Now in this situation, ironically, she would actually go to her brother, because he was somehow the best at making her feel less scared. Well, at least after all teasing she would get for about five minutes.
But her brother was downstairs with his friends which by now, she was pretty sure they weren't leaving anytime soon. Kayla shuddered at the thought that someone right now, could be in her bedroom. What if horror movies were real and she was the first one to experience it? No. They can't be.

"I'm telling you mate, the girl gets scared by her own shadow" Ryan laughed to his friends AJ and Cole.
They all laughed together. AJ and Cole has met Kayla and knew how she was famous for her irrational fears. The amount of times all of them had jump scared her and the priceless reaction they would always get.
"Ryan" AJ started.
"Yes" he said, mocking his friends tone.
"Have you ever scared Kayla. Like properly?" He asked laughing at the current plan forming itself in his head. A devious grin formed or Ryan's face when he realised what his friend was saying. Her mouthed them to all go upstairs and not making a sound. They all did.
——————————————————————————
Kayla was now currently on her phone. She decided to distract herself by scrolling through her Instagram and looking at pictures of Jamie Dornan.
It was only when she heard a floorboard creak from the corridor outside her room, her head snapped up.
It couldn't have been the boys, they usually sleep downstairs when they're here. All of a sudden,
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
A slow, dull knocking about one second apart from each knock took over her door. They were hard, loud knocks. What the hell was that?

Ryan, AJ and Cole sprinted as quietly as they could downstairs and hid round the corner of the bannister so they were out of eyesight but could vaguely see what was going on. They saw the door open for about five seconds, but it was quickly shut, while they all tried to muffle their laughter.

This went on for about half an hour. All of them started opening creaky doors at the back of the house where no one ever went. They then knocked on other doors around the house that were near her room. But every time a confused and scared Kayla walked out, she could just hear the TV downstairs where her brother was.
But their best prank by far was the one they did next. Kayla got up to go to the bathroom to the boys surprise, but Cole had a plan. They all went into Kayla's room and started moving things around. Her phone which she had left on her bed was now in her desk. Her bed which had obviously been slept in was now immaculately made. And just as AJ was about to rearrange some things on her bedside table. They heard the tap on and the bathroom bolt unlock. Crap.
They couldn't leave her room because she would easily see them. Ryan searches frantically around her room until he ushered his friends into her cupboard.

Kayla walked back into the room and the boys wished they could see the reaction on her face. Kayla looked horrified around her room. Why was her bed made? And where was her phone? She left it to charge next to her bed. Her swarm of scenarios rushed round her head but they were broken when she heard a scratching sound from her cupboard. It sounded like someone was scratching their sharp nails across her cupboard.
AJ, Cole and Ryan couldn't help themselves. Considering they were stuck their, why not make it fun?
Kayla considered running out of her room screaming bloody murder, but what would her brother and his friends say when it turns out to be something stupid? She walked up unconfidently to her cupboard. Held her breathe and yanked the door open but sighed of relief when nothing was their.
"RAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Ryan, AJ and Cole jumped out simultaneously, Ryan tasering her sides to make her reaction funnier.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed her head off worried that her neighbours would complain. It when she looked round she saw her brother and his stupid friends doubled over almost crying with laughter.
"I HATE YOU ALL" she shouted picking up a shoe from her cupboard and hitting them all with hit hard, although it probably made no difference. It didn't deter their laughter at all but it did eventually die down. They all looked up trying to compose themselves at a glaring girl with her arms folded.
"Come on Kayla, and plus their is a monster in here, in fact, there are three" he said in a serious tone.But Kayla wasn't buying it.
"TICKLE MONSTER" Cole shouted before launching himself at her, grabbing her from behind and tickling her sides. He gripped on to her and wiggles his fingers going from squeezing her hips all the way up to her underarms. All of them laughed when Kayla weakened and fell to the floor in fits of laughter with Cole somewhat on top of her.
"COOOHAHAHAHAHAHAAHLLLLLLEEEEE STAHAHAHAHAHHAHAPPPPPPPPPP AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA" Kayla squealed in Coles grip. She was currently sitting half on his lap and half winking into the floor while Cole teased her sides. All of a sudden, Kayla felt something on her knees and legs. She struggled and tried to look and she saw AJ squeezing the hell out of her legs.
"AHAHAHAHAAHHAJJJJJJJJJJJJ NOOOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH" she wriggled and bucked trying to get out, but the three string guys weren't letting up. But she wasn't even ready for what was about to come next. Ryan, her brother, knowing her most ticklish spots from experience went underneath her t shirt and started squeezing and kneading the soft midsection of her stomach. Laughter leaked out of her mouth as the strong tingling feelings got worse.
"Awww, Kayla, the monsters wanted to tell you that your laughter is adorable" teased AJ making his friends laugh and Kayla flush in embarrassment.
"Yeah, the ghosts particularly love this laughter" Ryan said before squeezing her sweet spot just below her ribs, which made her laughter go up an octave. Although Cole no long had her arms restrained, Kayla's attempts to push off their fingers just made them tickle harder so all she could do was lie their and take it.
"PLLEEAAAHAHAHAAHAHSSSEEEEE GUUUAHAHAHAYYYYYYSSSSSS IIIII CAHAHANNNTTTTTT TAHAHAHAHAKKKKKEEEEE IITTTTTTTTTT" her laughter got louder as the boys tickling techniques changed. Ryan was scribbling his fingers all over her belly, 'accidentally' dipping his fingers in her belly button now and then which earned a scream. AJ was squeezing her sides and lightly scratching his nails up and down. And lastly, Cole was alternating between her neck and armpits, fluttering and skidding his fingers where necessary. Kayla was in hysterics, unable to speak and had her breath taken away so was barely able to laugh. She sat their in silent laughter shaking her head at all their teases and jokes about how 'if she wasn't careful, ghosts might come and tickle her at night' but she was too tired and too immobile to fight back due to the fact by now, she would usually have some sassy comeback. At her shortness of breath, Ryan, AJ and Cole decided to stop. And also considering it was about 1:00 in the morning.
Cole offered her a hand, by she stubbornly got up herself as the others chuckled at Coles rejection.
"You're all going to get haunted tonight" Kayla yawned.
"Whatever you say baby sis" laughed Ryan waking out.
"Wait" Kayla said. "Can I sleep downstairs with all of you" she said, battering her eyelashes and smiling.
All they boys couldn't help but smile.
"Sure"
But little did the boys know, that they were going to get seriously haunted, and she had a plan.
