Undressed, I entered the bathroom to take a bath, standing beneath the shower as the water poured on my body; it felt warm, and I enjoyed the sensation. My thoughts returned to Henry, and I became concerned. Suddenly, the lights went out, and the bathroom was completely dark. As the room grew colder, I shivered in fear, I suddenly heard a sharp cry that made my breathing become hard, it was then I realized that I wasn't alone . Afraid, I attempted to make my way to the door in the darkness, I yelled in fright as I felt a cold hand touch my neck, immediately, I lost consciousness, hitting my head against the door as I fell to the ground with blood oozing out of my nose.
I opened my eyes to find myself in a strange, lonely environment with no trees or houses nearby. Was I dead? I wondered as I wandered the place in confusion. Suddenly, I heard a faint voice call from behind me, and when I turned to see who it was, it turned out to be her, the beautiful woman with sad eyes who had been haunting me, she was smiling at me this time and it felt really strange to me.
"Who are you?" I asked, startled.
"What do you want?" I asked.
Her smile faded to a frown as she began to turn back. "Hey!, Where are you going?" I called after her, and when she didn't respond, I decided to trail behind her.
We continued walking for a long time, and my legs began to ache. I was tempted to ask where we were going, but then I remembered she had not asked me to follow her. She came to a halt a few metres away from me and turned to face me. The ground began to shake as a white cloud surrounded us, and I found myself rapidly rotating, fear gripping me, and I closed my eyes. I started hearing loud screams and shouts, and my ears felt like they were going to explode at any moment. When I saw the same woman standing a few metres in front of me, the screams became audible. She was dressed in a black peppelone top and an orange skirt, with a tall handsome man in baggy shorts and a t-shirt in front of her.
"I'm so happy to see you again, my son; you have no idea how worried your father and I have been since you left home," she said through tears, smiling as she finished her speech.
"Stop acting like you care, you never did!" he screamed angrily.
"Of course I care about you, you're my son," she said, squeezing his hands. He averted his gaze, avoiding her gaze.
"Where is my father?" he inquired.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she paused for a moment before speaking, "he left us, he's dead," she sobbed.
A quick smile followed by a frown crossed his face. "I'm glad to hear this, but I'd have been happier to kill him myself," he said as he pulled a knife from his pocket and thrust the daggers into her chest, "and kill you too." As I heard her scream, I opened my mouth in shock. The entire scene faded from view, and I found myself in the middle of nowhere. I was terrified and perplexed.
"Mary," a familiar voice called from the opposite direction, and I saw Janet and Anita sprinting towards me, my face brightening with a smile. Stopping a few meters away, I noticed they were both dressed in white.
"I'm sorry Mary, I was a terrible friend to you, and I believe I deserve to die," Jane said first.
"No, you didn't deserve to die, Jane, you were my best friend," I said almost immediately, turning to Anita and saying, "I'm sorry about your death, too," I noticed she was quiet as usual.
As their expressions became sad, I became concerned.
"What's the matter?", I queried.
"Look Mary, you're in serious trouble and you need to be really careful", Jane responded.
"What trouble Jane, I don't understand", I asked.
"Have you heard of Agu arts?" Sbe asked, as I nodded in response.
"Well, the CEO is a murderer who will not stop until he has complete control of the world." You see, this man murdered me and many others, and he will murder anyone who gets in his way. He murdered his mother as well," I realized, and I paid attention to Jane as she described how she was murdered, as well as how many others were.
"Now, Mary, only you can save us right now," she continued.
"But why?, Why me?" I wondered.
"You can communicate with ghosts because you have a special gift, Mary.", "Our souls are trapped , we cannot rest in peace and that's why we keep roaming Mary and you're the only one that can hear it see us",
"But how can I even save you Jane, I'm being kidnapped by some guy in an unknown place", I scoffed.
"it's time for you to go"
"wait what", I felt myself coming back to life as a hand shook my body rigorously.
