Jāy's POV
I can't believe I'm seeing this girl again. "Am I going crazy or what"I thought
"Bring the rope fast ooh" josh kept screaming as they tried to pin me down but I kept struggling to free myself
"Can't you see her?" I asked pointing in her direction,but non of the could see her.
"Please am not here to hurt you"she said as she walked slowly closer to me.
"No no stay far away from me" I yelled as I freaked out the more,but she still came close,I had no choice than to bite one of the person who held me tightly as I freed myself and ran speedily to my room with the hope that the bibles will help save me from any evil spirit following me around.
I locked the door behind me immediately I got in even shifting my cupboard to barricade the door for added assistance.
I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned,but was shocked to see her standing behind me.
"What do you want from me you evil spirit" I screamed immediately as I picked up one of the bible from the ground and pointed it towards her
"Please I need your help am not here to hurt you" she said with a shaky voice
"Me help you?, why me? Why don't you go meet anybody" I asked still freaking out
"Because your the only one that can see me" she replied
I paused as I looked at her from head till toe,the glanced back at the bible on the floor.
"Okay" I replied
"Really your going to help Me?" She asked smiling.
I ignored her as I threw a bible at her "I bind and cast any spirit in my life, fire destroy,destroy" I kept screaming and calling gods name with my eyes tightly closed expecting a miracle.
I slowly opened my eyes but couldn't see her, "is she gone?" I couldn't help but think as I looked at were she was but she wasn't there.
"What are you looking for" a voice said beside me scaring me as I jumped on my bed
"Can't you just let me be, I don't want to have anything with you or any spirit" I said firmly
"Really?" She asked with a sad face
"Yes" I replied and immediately she disappeared,I searched the whole place for her but couldn't find her.
*is she really gone?" I asked myself,as I gently opened my door.
All eyes was on me as my door creaked open.
"Jāy,what's going on with you" one of my neighbor asked as soon as I stepped out
"It my village people that is after me,but my god is with me" I mumbled a reply as I walked back to the bathroom and this time there was no queue so I went in immediately
Lisa's POV
Truly it everybody for himself,I can't believe that he turned my plea down just like that. I appeared back at the shop were I saw him,sat down just on the pavement of the shop.no one could see me,so I was left there undisturbed. It such a cruel world uncle kills his brother and daughter to take over his wealth and property.
I closed my eyes and opened and appeared in my house the same spot were I landed when I fell from the top,it's nine months but the memory is still fresh in my memory.
"What, don't give me such a silly excuse" I heard a voice yell from inside the house as I walked in,it was a voice I would hardly ever forget,it was my uncle Charles.
I followed the voice and walked into the room,my fathers room but I could no longer see any of my fathers thing in it,seems he moved into the room.
"Sir it was a mistake,we searched all over for her body but we couldn't find it,but we are still searching" one of the men dressed in black said
Whose corpse are they searching for? I couldn't help but ask myself
*sh*t a simple job I gave to you and you failed" my uncle yelled angrily as he walked towards the man dressed in black and stabs him on the chest,blood gushes out of his mouth as the dagger pierces deeper.
The man slumps as he shriek in his own pool of blood, I was speechless.
My uncle turned to the other men "Someone should find me Lisa's corpse or else it your and your families that will end up like this" uncle Charles commanded and the men nodded
"Get this body out of here and clean the mess up" he added and left the room.
I can't believe my ears, my uncles statement kept ringing in my head, they lost my body?.. How do I find my body now? How do I get back to my body? Different questions kept popping into my head as I tried to hold my tears in.
"Oh god,please touch the heart of that boy to help me" I mumbled as I disappeared from there and appeared back in the guys compound.
Jāy POV
"This one your dresses all mixed colored" josh said as I stepped out of my house
"I know that nothing I do is okay for you" I replied
"Seems you have another interview" Josh asked
"Yes oh,and it's a good one if I will get the Job" I replied locking my door.
I held my briefcase,which contained my C.V and a bible in case of any Ghost encounter. I was just grinning easily to ear like someone who won a lottery.
"Why are you smiling like that" Josh asked noticing my smile
Why won't I smile the ghost girl left and seems she is never coming back but I can't tell josh that he won't believe me.
" I have a good feeling" I replied to cover up as I walked out of the compound.
Lisa's POV
Thank goodness I arrived just in time,seems he was leaving. I would have missed him.
I thought of comfronting him again but kicked against the idea cause people would term him insane again,so I just followed him,he got into a taxi and I did too even though i could not touch the car I just floated in thin air,so he could not see me.
It been months since I talked to anyone I just felt lonely and letting this guy go again was kinda hard. "I'm dropping off here" he said drawing me out of my thoughts
I Glanced at him and how he wore an off coloured dressing a white shirt with a black tie and a brown trouser with a shoe that I can hardly determine the color but in all the dressing he still smiled
Jāy's POV
I boarded a taxi and got to my destination, I felt followed but guess it was just my mind playing tricks on me cause I had an encounter this morning, "Clear your mind Jāy" i mumbled to myself. I really needed this job and I don't want anything getting in the way not even absurd thought.
"Hi were is the interview being held" I asked the girl who was the receptionist
"That way" she replied calmly after running her eyes all over me
I followed the direction she pointed even though I was annoyed at the way she looked at my dressing, "isn't this dressing wonderful" I asked myself loudly drawing attention to my self and someone laughed from behind but I ignored and walked boldly. I have a sense of fashion yunno…
I sat down while I waited for my turn to be interviewed.
Lisa's POV
Walking behind him made me chuckle as I tried to hold in my laughter "gosh how can someone dress like this to an interview In such a high class company" I thought as I laughed silently to avoid him hearing me.
He sat down maybe waiting for his turn while I sat down behind a wall away from his view.
"Eeerm jāy" A LADY called and he answered and walked in.there was no need following him again so I just remained at a spot.
🕢🕓🕟🕠🕚🕓
Minutes went by and he wasn't yet out.
Jāy's POV
Sitting for the interview was the hardest thing I ever did. Not only did the interviewer lament on my clothing he also asked me questions I couldn't produce the answer.
"Did you hear what I just said" the man asked drawing me out of my world of thought
"No sir" I replied immediately.
These is a written exam you'll have to get atleast 70% to get the job" he explained while I nodded and got back to answering the questions.
"You got the third answer wrong" I heard a voice say and I looked at the interviewer but he was busy with his phone.
"Most of your answers are wrong and you'll have to change them to more professional words to gain favor and marks" the feminine voice said again and I turned ..
"Hah" I screamed in shock it was the ghost girl.
"Any problem " the interviewer asked and I nodded a no as I comported myself
"Don't make a scene or you'll lose the job* she whispered in my ears as I froze trying my best not to freak out.
Jāy's POVAll I felt was chills as the ghost girl corrected most of my answers in the interview by whispering the answer to me."You can give him the answers now" she whispered in my ears,I obeyed as I weakly gave him the the sheet. "You can go, we'll call you" he repliedI stood up confused,as I walked out of the office with the girl following me quietly.I got into an elevator to take me downstairs and she followed me."I thought I told you to quit following me around,I can't help you" I finally summoned up courage and said"Is that how you'll appreciate me for the help I offered" she replied ignoring my question, I felt kinda guilty,yeah she helped me but that doesn't change the fact that I don't want her around me."By the way I didn't ask for your help in the first place,you just showed up and did what no one asked you to do" I replied in a harsh tone. She opened her mouth to say something but kept quiet without saying a word,I just kept silent too as i waited for the elevator to
I laid back on my bed contemplating on the next decision to take,because right now I was beginning to feel as if josh was right….what if I'm truly going insane I thought or what if this is the plan of my village people all these I thought as I laid on my bed,but just then an idea hit me as I sat back down on the bed."If I am to help you, I'll have to know everything about you,even were your from and your house" I said with a serious face as I looked straight into her eyes as if I could read her thoughts"No problem, if you want I can take you to my house"she replied with her eyes still fixed to mine not even blinking a bit, I got scared a bit of her direct stare into my eyes and so i shifted my glance"Okay then take me to your house" I said as I stood up and she followed suit but the door barged open as hefty men stormed into my room"Look at him,his the one" josh said as he barged in with the men,pointing at me, I quickly dived towards my window in a bid to escape through it,but th
Cēē jāy POVI cough as I tried to breathe but the tight grip of the man on my throat made it hard for me. I glanced slowly to my left to see Lisa the ghost girl screaming and panicking"What the I get myself into" I muttered between hard coughs and gasp for air"What going on here" a voice said and the man quickly left his grip on my throat as he turned quickly to the direction of the voice. Lisa walked up to me as she mumbled some consoling words while I coughs hard struggling to breathe"Sir I caught this kid eavesdropping on your conversation on caughtphone" the man that tried to strangle me saidI looked up at the man from the floor were I knelt as Lisa's uncle walked up to me slowly and menacingly towards me."What did you hear kid" he asked with a killer tone."Tell him that you just came in when the guard saw you, that you didn't hear anything" Lisa whispered to me"I didn't hear anything,I just came here when he caught me" I repeated what lisa told me Uncle Charles POVI look
The smile on her face was priceless and jāy couldn't help but stare "what!! Why are you staring at me like that" lisa asked blowing off the strand of hair that covered her face…"You should smile more" jāy replied grinning. Lisa blushed as she turned to avoid his stare "You seem pale" jāy asked and lisa turned "huh ??" Lisa mumbled as she touched her face. "The first day I saw you,you looked much better" jāy explained. "It might be because I've been away from my corpse,I have to return to it or be near it to feel refreshed with life,but I can't find my body" lisa replied as her eyes fell sadly Her sad countenance had a toll on me "we'll find it "jāy said trying to comfort her "But how,we don't even know were to start, even my wicked uncle can't find it" she replied as tears dropped from her eyes "I don't have much time left again" lisa added Jāy just sat silently wishing he could do more to help, he was even more confused not knowing were to start to search for her body, but hi
Jay could feel the piercing gaze of Charles on him. it was as if the man could see through him, read his thoughts. he focused his eyes on the ballpen in his hand as he fiddled anxiously with it. He was lost in this nervous state until Charles walked past him and he let out a sigh of relief. Charles walked forward, took out his phone from his pocket and messaged the receptionist. “Who is that boy seated opposite your desk, in the waiting area?” Charles texted. The receptionist saw the message and looked towards Jay’s area before replying the message; “It’s a new employee sir, he was hired to work with the production team” The receptionist typed hurriedly so as not to keep him waiting. Charles had walked into his office and was waiting patiently for the Reply from the receptionist. Ball of sweat formed on his head as he was lost in thought about discovering Lisa’s corpse before any other person finds it and now this boy surfaces, something just doesn’t add up. “He knows something,
Something was wrong and Lisa could feel it. The air of confusion hovered around her; she just couldn’t decide on the next action to take. She took a deep breath, shut her eyes and appeared in Bruce’s car. She had wanted to appear in Jay’s car but her focus was foggy as her mind kept thinking only about Bruce and that was how she ended up here.Bruce drove steadily behind Jay, actually, there were couple of Cars ahead of him, but they all acted as a cover so as not to making his trailing obvious.Meanwhile, Jay threw his gaze out the window. Watching everything run by quickly. The car was quiet, even a grave yard would be jealous of how silent the car was. the Uber-Driver glanced at Jay from the rear-view mirror. He could notice the look of Distress in the young man’s eyes.“Are you okay, young man?” The driver who would probably be in his early fifties asked.“No, I’m not good, my life is a wreck. I’m going crazy, seeing things I’m not supposed to” Jay said in his head but his lips mu
The neighbors picked up from the cold floor where Josh had passed out and carried him outside.One amongst the group who had gathered had already ran out the main road and flagged down a taxi to take then and unconscious Josh to the hospital.They drove him to the nearest hospital. Three male nurses ran out to meet them with a stretcher in hand, He was carried off the people’s hands and placed on the stretcher. He opened his eyes slightly and saw the nurses hovering around him. they kept saying words that he could not make out. he was taken to the emergency ward immediately. He kept trying to say something, a nurse came up to him and said something he couldn’t hear clearly.She turned and moved away for the doctor who injected him. another wave of sensation coursed through his body making him numb. He felt no pain at the moment, he looked at the doctor and nurse’s who were working on his body. He stood up and surprisingly he walked through all of them.“Oh No!” Josh gasped as soon as
Jāy's eyes lite in surprise as Lisa ran into the room.Lisa who ran into the room in order to inform jāy of Bruce's plan immediately became dumbfounded, taking few steps closer to her body.Her pale skin immediately radiated back to it normal color as she felt okay,but it was far from okay. Jāy gaze followed her silently as the took slow steps to her corpse.Seeing no reply from jāy his mother left the room with prince who walked out after her…"So you had my body here the whole time and you kept it away from me"Lisa yelled angrily with disgust clearly written on her faceJāy jaw dropped in shock as her statement rendered him speechless"So you were only pretending to help me?" Lisa asked but in a more sad tone "Lisa, common,that's not true" jāy said taking his steps closer to her ,but she withdrawed backwards as she wipes tears from her eyes"Lisa I never knew my parents had,your body I just found out today too" jāy said feeling hurt at her level of distrust on him but still he appe
