9 Chapter 8: Jacob Takes Revenge

It was eight in the night when they finished watching the movie. Soon they ordered their dinner and played cards till it came. Then they kept cracking jokes, but Fiona knew that Jacob was behind her. He wanted to talk to her, but she tried to ignore him till they went to bed

Isabella, Olivia and Gerry left Fiona's room and went back to their rooms and went to bed. While Fiona was arranging her bed, Jacob asked. "Fiona, do you know that?"

"What?'

"What is it? Why are you following me?" Fiona asked.

"I have captured Bernard," Jacob said in an angry tone.

"Why did you do such a thing? Please send Bernard back."

"No, I can't. You have to marry me if you want Bernard to return safely." Jacob said.

"What are you talking about? I can't marry you, it's impossible," said Fiona.

"I can't forget you! You mean the world to me!" Jacob said emotionally.

Fiona realized that living with a ghost meant death for her. She did not talk for some time.

"I don't want to marry you, Jacob. You are no one to me and I believe that I deserve a good guy."

"Fiona, if you don't marry me, I will have to capture all of your friends," threatened Jacob. "If you don't want me, I will have to kill you as well."

She quickly called Isabella, "Please be careful. Jacob may try to kill you all." But no one answered back. Her friends had probably gone to sleep.

"Hahaha," Jacob laughed.

"Please I beg you, don't harm my friends. I will marry you, I'll do anything you say. Just don't hurt my friends"

Jacob was happy that she had accepted his offer. He kept looking at her like he had found a lost part of his soul back.

"Thank you for accepting me. I love you with all my heart."

Fiona went to her bed, trying not to think about Jacob.

Jacob sat next to Fiona and said

"I shall be a good husband to you, I promise."

"We shall see, Jacob, I can't trust you."

"Fiona, trust me once more, get your trust back on me, I love you."

"Now, please don't try to do anything to my friends and send Bernard back."

"I will send him back,"

Fiona went to her bed, trying not to ignore him, but he kept on staring at her while she was trying to sleep, he was standing there trying to kill her, but he could not because she was keeping an eye on him and trying to stay away from him.

"Now, please don't do anything to my friends and send Bernard back."

"I will think about it," Jacob said.

"If you don't, I will not marry you."

Jacob was quiet and started walking around.

As she switched off the lights, she started to realize that her life had become an empty cell after Jacob's death. She could still remember the day when he had a car accident and the way he suffered when he was in the ICU.

Her eyes turned red and she started to cry. Soon she fell asleep. She was fixated at that moment, even in her dreams.

The next morning when Fiona woke up, she did not realize that Jacob was still in her room. It was nine when Fiona puts her foot down, started stretching her arms and then went to the bathroom to have a shower and freshen up.

In their rooms, Isabella and the others started getting ready. As they were all about to change, they saw Bernard coming. They ran towards him and hugged him. They were all so happy to see him back safely.

Where were you, Bernard? We kept waiting for you all day long."

He kept quiet and did not say a word.

"Bernard, can you please talk? What happened to you?'

"Are you guys okay?"

"Yes, we're okay, but what about you?" Everyone asked together.

"I was captured by Jacob," said Bernard.

"What?" Everyone shouted.

"Yes, this is the truth! He tried to kill me."

"Why is he doing all this?"

Jacob loves Fiona a lot. He had done a lot for her. They were very serious. But Jacob's death tore them apart. His love for Fiona is keeping him from crossing over. He longs for Fiona and will do anything to be reunited with her.

He wanted to marry her, but he did not have enough time to propose to her. By the time he prepared for it, he had a car accident. Don't you all know that their love was true?

Bernard and the others felt bad for Fiona. They had all felt her pain and seen her suffering to get over Jacob. They all went to her room and hugged her. Fiona felt happy, thinking that Jacob had kept his promise… he had sent back Bernard. She knew that he was the Jacob, she loved. But, he was a little different. This ghostly soul did not feel as kind as the Jacob she knew. It was violent, erratic even.
