16.Stephen Possessed But How?

jenny was moving from

him. He nodded his head smiling.

He left us while Jenny still looks uncomfortable

and scared. When he left, I asked her if what

she said was true. "Do you mean that guy is

an evil spirit?"I asked looking surprised. "That

means he can see me too."I added looking at

her. "Yes he does. He definitely saw you"Jenny

replied. "I knew from the first day I saw him.

His looks were weird and strange."I said.

"He's a dangerous type. Do you know him

specially from anywhere?"she asked me. "No. I

don't remember seeing him when I was still a

human"I replied. "His thought interpretes that

He's someone who knows you better than

anyone. He's someone who knows every secret

about your death."Jenny said looking at me. I

was so surprised to hear that. I never knew of

all what she just said. I had no idea of who

the guy is to me.

John's POV

After Debbie and I talked for long, and the time

is almost 9pm. We left the bar for my car.

After dropping her home, I drove back home

still thinking about what she meant by ""the

game is not easy to play with that kind of

person.""I asked her about it but she refuses

to reveal the person to me.

When I got home, I packed my car in the

compound and walked towards the door. I

opened it and went inside. I saw Stella sitting

on the chair in the living room. I was surprised

she has turned back to ghost girl. When I got

to her she stood up.

Stella's POV

When I saw john, I stood up from the couch

looking at him. "You're here already"he said

looking at me. "Yes. I have something to tell

you"I said. "What's that? Am also just coming

from Debbie"he said. "Jenny told me about

your brother. The girl can read thoughts. We

met him today while I was escorting Jenny

home. Can your brother see ghosts?"I asked

looking at him. He looks surprised by the

question. I guess he doesn't know about that.

"What do you mean? Because I can see you

that doesn't mean my brother and sisters can

also see ghosts"he replied looking at me

strangely. I told him everything Jenny told me

about Stephen. He found it so hard to believe.

I wondered why he can't believe me. "That's

unbelievable! Stephen can't be. He might be

bad, mean or wicked but he can never be that

evil."he said looking at me.

John's POV

When she told me the whole thing Jenny told

her about Stephen, I found it so hard to

believe. It was then I remembered what Debbie

told me at the bar. Could the person be

Stephen? If Stephen did that to her what's his

purpose and what does he gain from hurting

an innocent person like her.""I thought to

myself still staring at Stella.

"We'll talk tomorrow. Let me gather myself

together first before I can say anything"I said

and headed to my room. When I got to my

room, I sat on the bed thinking about the

whole thing over and over again. "Stephen was

possessed? But when? How?"I asked myself

lot of questions I was not able to give answers

to.

:

Cassandra's POV.

When I was driving home, I got a call from my

sister saying mum is so sick and requesting to

see me. I don't visit home for the past four

years. Because I was an adopted child, I was

treated badly by mummy. She always went

against anything I do in the house. She

threatened me to the extend that I ran away

from home. When I ran away from their house,

a car almost knock me down while I was

walking around an unknown street. The driver

turns out to be Stephen. He got down from his

car to check if I had any injury. He asked

where I was going to that late at night. I told

him I was heading to nowhere. He asked me

what the problem was and I told him

everything about how my Foster mother

treated me. I told him I can't go back to the

house because I don't want to be treated bad

anymore. It was then he accepted me and I

started working for him. Till now I never visit

them or want to know how they've been

living. When their only daughter elle called me,

she used another line to call me because I've

been rejecting their calls all these years. When

she told me about her mother's health and her

request to see me, I first hesitated but I

thought I might be a bad person if I didn't visit

them. I thought of days she took care of me

as her child and also thought of elle and

fathers good treatments towards me. Because

of that, I made up my mind to visit them.

I made a U turn and drove to their place. When

I got there, everywhere has really changed a

lot. The houses and the environment has

changed. Maybe because I've been there for

long. I packed my car in front of their building

and got down locking it with the remote. I

walked slowly towards the building. When I got

to the entrance, I took a deep breath before

pressing the door bell. In few seconds, the

door was opened by Elle. Immediately she saw

me, she hugged me so tight with tears on her

face. "I've missed you. Am sorry for everything

mother did to you. Please forgive us"she said

sobbing. I patted her back gently and withdrew

her from the hug. She and father were the only

one that took me as real family so they never

offended me. Her face has not changed from

how I left her. I smiled nodding my head. "Am

also sorry for leaving you guys like that. I hope

you forgive me also."I said looking at her. We

both went inside to see mother. When we got

to her room, she was lying on the bed. Tears

dropped from her face when she sighted me. I

stood before her looking at her face. "Please

forgive me Sandra. Am sorry for everything. I

called you here just because I want to

apologise properly. Please forgive me my

daughter."she said weeping. I moved closer to

her bed and hold her hand. "I understand you

mummy. Am also sorry for leaving you guys. I

regretted leaving the house because I realized

everything became more worst for me not

better"I said looking at her.

"Elle. Is your dad home yet?"she asked my

sister. "Let me check him in his room"she said

and headed out. "Thanks for coming. I had a

slight fever. I was just discharged from your

dad's hospital today. You dad was giving me

medications at home because I refused to stay

at the hospital."she said looking at me. "OK

ma. How's your health right now? Hope you're

getting better?"I asked. "Yes. Thank God"she

replied smiling. The door opened and dad came

in. I stood up and greeted him. "Cassandra! Is

that really you?"he asked looking at me. "Am

so sorry sir. Sorry for making you guys worry.

I think you should understand why I did that"I

said. He walked up to me and hugged me. "Am

the one sorry for everything. Please forgive

us"he said. He released me and looked at

mother. "How's your health dear?"he asked

looking at her. "Am fine since I saw my

daughter"she replied smiling. "Really? That's

so good"he said smiling. The door flung open

and we all looked at the door wondering what

happened.

"She's acting strange! Dad you need to check

on her"elle rushed in screaming. Dad quickly

rushed out with elle. Mum even tried to stand

up but dad told her not to worry. I followed

them out to where they're going to. He opened

a door and I followed him in. When we got

inside, a lady breathing heavily while the bed

was shaking seriously. She was on the bed

with an oxygen mask covering her nose and

mouth. She was on life supporting matching. I

wasn't able to see her face clearly so I moved

closer as dad attended to her. When I got to

her, I can now see her face clearly. She was

the girl that died three years ago. "Suzy

Mick!"I said looking at her. I covered my

mouth with both hand staring at her

confusingly. Stephen told me she was his ex-

girlfriend when she was alive. He told me how

and reason he killed her three years ago. I was

the only one he revealed the whole secret to

because he trusted me. I was so surprised to

see her here. Why is she here? What

relationship does she have with my Foster

parents. I kept staring at her in shock.
