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 the caught me mid way and pulled me up a like a light feather I struggled but all my effort seemed like an infant struggle in his mum arms the pressed me down.I looked towards the ghost girl and she stood there and mumbled "I'm sorry" she couldn't do anything to save or help me at the moment.
At that moment I wished I was superman or I had super strength to fight this men,I kicked but with just one hand they held my leg down.
"The way boys are running mad just to get money these days is alarming"one of the men said as they tied me up
"Am not mad" I yelled in reply
"This boy does not look like someone who will do such,his madness might be sent from his enemies " the other one muttered ignoring what I said
"Am not mad oh" i scream again as i tried to free myself "Josh what's this nah" I said turning to josh
"Jāy I'm your friend and am just looking out for what's best for you" he replied as they dragged me away"I can't let you run mad without doing anything,don't worry you'll thank me later"he added as I was carried away like a bag of rice on the shoulder of one of the man
"Lemme oh,am not mad" I kept screaming hitting him
"That's what mad people usually when they are in their first stage of insanity" one of them said as he walked behind us
I kept hitting the man that carried me, but suddenly he dropped me on the floor,immediately pulling down my trouser exposing my bare buttocks and injected me.
Another thing am afraid of was being injected, on seeing the sharp pointed needle I freaked out as I tried to run but couldn't move, I turned to josh "bro common tell the I'm alright" I mumbled.
"This is for your own good,I'll call your parents later to come see you" Josh replied and walked to his apartment….
The content of what they injected me took hold of me as I felt week and suddenly fell unconscious.
Lisa's POV
I felt pity for how they treated jāy, he wouldn't help me again when he regain consciousness. I followed them as they carried jāy as he laid unconscious on the shoulder of the muscular man.
I just felt like attacking his friend, Josh or whatever he calls himself.
Maybe I should just let him be,so he would go back to his normal life, I should just go back to my miserable spirit life,maybe that's my fate I'm a ghost and maybe a miserable one I mumbled to myself.
Jāy's POV
I opened my eyes, looked around. I was in a room, I couldn't find the ghost girl Lisa. "So she left me to suffer all these that she caused.
"Am here jāy! I never left" I heard the voice say behind me.
I turned as I glanced at her
"Am sorry for everything I didn't wish for any of these to happen" she mumbled "I just , I just" she stuttered
"Everyone I trusted turned against me, my uncle who was the one that killed me and put me in the misery" she said I tears, I felt pity and sorry for her
"Why am I the only one that can see you" I asked silently
"I don't know,but that the reason why am still around you because I can't find my corpse. If I find my body maybe I'll come back to life" she replied as wiping her face
I took a deep breath. "Well I need to leave here to help you dunno" I said with a brief smile
"Do you still wanna help me?" She asked as her eyes lite with hope
"Just to find your body and you let me be" I replied and she nodded with a smile
"Thank you" she said…."aren't you going to go back to sleep" she asked
"Whats the time" I asked looking out the window trying to guess the time.
"6am" she replied.
I was speechless, so I slept through out yesterday, the door opened and josh walked in alongside a doctor
"How you feeling jāy" josh asked and I ignored him
"Doctor ! Do you know I can sue this hospital or whatever it is for holding me here without my consent" I yelled angrily .
"Jāy calm down, we just had to run test on you" the doctor said "your free to go" he added
I looked at him angrily and then to josh and walked away.
"Jāy! Jāy!!" Josh called as he ran after me in the hallway "jāy please,I know you'll be angry but,please understand me" he explained as he stopped me handing my phone over to me.
I looked at him "josh It alright" I said and turned to Lisa and signaled her to come with me.
Lisa's POV
All I could feel was just happiness and joy, he said he'll help me but just to find my body so I can leave him alone. That's good enough for me.
"You said you'll take me to your house" I heard him say as soon as we stepped out of the mental institute
"Yes!" I replied "it not too far from here" I explained as I walked forward and he followed me
"So why did your uncle do this to you" he asked as well walked down the road
"Do you want people to term you as a mad guy again" I asked.
"No oo, god forbid" I replied
"Remember only you can see me others can't,so if you talk to me they won't see who your talking to" I explained
He nodded as he looked around to confirm what I was saying
"We're here….this is my house" I pointed out
Jāy's POV
"Wow,what would your uncle gain to kill a poor girl like you" i said looking at the poor condition of her house.
"What!!!, not that hurt, the other one" she said as she pointed to a mansion.
My jaw dropped as I was speechless "are you kidding me" I replied laughing.. As I thought she was joking.
"That's the same building my uncle pushed me from" she said
"Wait are you Lisa michael the only daughter of Michael Vincent" I asked as I found it hard to believe
"Yes"she nodded
"I heard about your death" I exclaimed "the news said that you killed yourself after you found out about your Father's death" I explained in surprise
"That not what happened,my uncle lied to the media" she replied
"Oh my God" this is unbelievable
"Let's go your drawing attention as people are staring at you"she said and we walked into the estate were the mansion was located.
.
.
We walked towards the building, I had to jump in through the fence to get into the compound while lisa just walked through the fence as a ghost nothing was a barrier to her.
"So what are we gonna do now were here" I asked as we walked into the building
"I want us to…….. She tried to say something but quickly signaled me to stop as well his behind a pillow.
"That's my uncle" she pointed… I looked and he was pacing around worried
"Am gonna kill you,if you don't find her body, I have warned you" he yelled over the phone obviously pissed off.
"Hey what are you doing in here". A voice yelled behind us..
At that moment I wished I took was a ghost that no one can see me.
I turned slowly as the muscular security man dressed in black came in view.
I ran to the fence, and jump out but he held my legs and drew me back down held me on the throat as he tried to choke me
Lisa's POV
Oh my god, the man was trying to choke jāy to death, I tried to hit him but my hands only went through him.
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
“What!” Charles yelled out angrily whilst banging his folded fist on his office desk. He rose up to his feet. His eyes flashing red in visible anger. His annoyance which was mixed with the feeling of fear shook his marrows on hearing Bruce’s words.“What did you just say?” Charles asked again although he had heard him clearly the first time.“I found Lisa’s body in that boy’s family apartment” Bruce voice stated again from the other end of the phone.Charles lip trembled, fear of the unknown hovered around him.“Gather the boys immediately. Recover the body. Kill everyon3e who knows about the corpse except the boy, I’ll finish him myself” Charles ordered and dropped the call.He could not believe that his rival would be a peasant boy. He won’t let a common boy be the reason of his downfall. He was willing to get his hands dirty just to win. He turned to the wall and gazed at the portrait hanging on the wall. He let out a smile, a remarkable portrait he thought, but then the thought
Even as he was thrown into the Trunk of the car, his eyes never left his mother’s unconscious body that laid on the cold floor in a pool of her own blood. He wanted to scream out to her, to ask for forgiveness, but only air escaped his lungs. The trunk was shut close and then the darkness surrounded him.Everything happened so fast that Lisa could not even believe that it happened before her. She swallowed hard and ran after the cars that drove off the compound, but the scream from inside the house made her to pause in her tracks and return back into the house.The father tried to stop his wife from bleeding any further by placing his palm on the injury. Lisa sealed her eyes shut and disappeared from the house and appeared inside the trunk with Jay.Tears flowed freely down his eyes; she couldn’t figure out the right words to console him at the moment. he hadn’t muttered a word since the gun shot sounded.But on seeing Lisa; he sniffled softly and asked; “Did I do the right thing? I a
The officers freed Jay’s hands from the chains used to bond him and raise him up to the ceiling. He legs touched the ground, but his knees were to weak to hold him up so he fell to the floor as soon as he was freed. Josh and Lisa ran up to him immediately. They couldn’t catch him, they were ghost, but they were able to mumbled words of consolation to him.The paramedics stepped in and came up to him. the placed him on a stretcher and injected him with a sedative. Soon he fell unconscious and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.***** Couple of hours gone by and Jay finally opened his eyes. he closed them almost immediately as he opened them as a result of the bright light that flooded into them. In seconds, his pupils adjusted to the light. He looked around, he could not see anyone except for the white ceiling that stared back at him. he let out a weak grunt as he tried to raise himself up.“Ssh, rest now. Don’t stress yourself” Josh said to him and turned to Lisa; “He is final
Josh felt a bit happy but confused at the same time. Why can’t others see him but she can? Is she also like Jay who claims to have been seeing a ghost girl following him? he wondered, still looking his gaze with the girl.“Why can you see me when others can’t?” he finally asked, trying to quench his burning curiosity.“Well, that is because, I am a ghost too” Lisa responded and turned her gaze towards the ward were Jay’s mother was admitted.That explains it all, Josh screamed in his thoughts. but what would make a cute girl like her end up dead? What’s her story? How did she die?Different thoughts kept flooding his head, but he didn’t want to seem to nosy.Lisa stood fix to a spot, with an expressionless face. Josh also, beside her, glancing at her each minute and waiting for her to say something. From the long of things, he could tell that she was worried about something.And true to his thoughts, Lisa was indeed worried about Jay. She wondered what sort of torture they would be ma
