Scream VI by Guy Busick

Analyse the text, then underline the vocabulary words you don't understand.

Late at night, a figure in a long, dark cloak moved silently through the quiet suburban streets. The wind howled, and the leaves rustled as if warning of something sinister. In one house, a young girl sat alone, unaware of the shadow that had already crept closer. The masked figure, face pale and ghostly, watched through the window, waiting for the right moment to strike. Suddenly, the phone rang. The girl's heart pounded as she picked it up, not knowing who was on the other end. The voice on the line was cold, distant. "Do you like scary movies?" it asked, sending chills down her spine.
