Chapter 3 - Admit it

My heart was racing and I could hardly breathe. Although it wasn't because of Zak or being starstruck. I am about to share something with them that no one knows. Not even Destiny. I promised myself I wouldn't say anything ever and yet here I was.
"I have been informed that one employee here has been so deeply affected by her experience, she won't tell anyone about it. However she has agreed to speak with us." Zak said with a serious face. "Victoria, hey I'm Zak and this is Billy, Jay and Aaron.", he said introducing himself and the camera panned over to me. I froze for what couldn't have been more than 3 seconds and yet it felt like hours. "Hey guys.", I replied.
"Victoria, I understand you have had a terrifying experience here?"
"Yes I have. Terrifying putting it lightly." Oh god.

I had only been working here for a few weeks and everybody had been telling me how insanely haunted the place was. The only thing was that no one had told me how dangerous they were as well. So anyways it had been 4 or 5 weeks and nothing had happened to me and I was beginning to think that maybe everyone here was exaggerating, that is, until I had to lock up one night. I went and looked around making sure that there was no one in there but me. I was about to lock up and go home when I heard a loud crash coming from the basement. In my brain it was good idea to go all horror movie and walk down there. Now the basement had been flooded and pretty badly damaged by the last two hurricanes & just weathered by Mother Nature. Meaning that the floor isn't the sturdiest and there are quite a few boards missing. So any one who would be crazy enough to go down there at night, wouldn't have any where to go but through the boards, under the ground. So I unlock the door and go down to the basement and turn on my flashlight to start looking around. There was no one there. At all. So then I was a little freaked out but I'm thinking 'Hey I just had my first ghost experience. I can't wait to tell Des.' So I turn around and come face to face with this lady. And when I say face to face, I mean face to face. Like inches apart. She was dressed in a Victorian era dress, with the poofy skirt and lace detailing. She had her brown hair tucked into a bun and the most pissed off expression on her beautiful face. I screamed bloody murder and hauled ass back up the stairs and locked the door. Then I turn around again and there she is. Again. This time I stay there, frozen. She said something that I thought was ridiculous at the time. "It's time for our secrets to be told." She smirked and I flew across the room into a wall. She slowly sauntered across to me then got up in my face and told me "Watch your back. Always. Because I'll always be there." Then she scratched my face and disappeared. All of the energy was gone and I was by myself. I finally hauled ass out the door, locked it and ran to my car and pulled out. But I saw her again. Standing in the window, looking down at me....
*flashback ends*

"And I've seen her everyday and night here since. Just recently she started following me home."
The crew and everyone else just stood there shocked.
"I'm so sorry." Zak said breaking the silence.
"Yeah well shit happens." I said quietly.
