Margo (H.S.)

2. There is no getting rid of me Margo

(Margo)

I'm going crazy that didn't happen
That couldn't have happened...

But then what can explain my the adrenaline pulsing through my veins

What could explain the goosebumps covering my skin?

A bad dream?

Yeah, all just one bad dream.

Right?

"I came in like a wrecking ball!" I sang in the shower my eyes closed as I was under the shower head feeling the warm water cover my body

I heard a deep chuckle and my eyes shot open.

I couldn't see that well from behind the shower curtain my nerves getting to me.

"You're cute when you're scared Margo" I heard him say

The bad dream from last night.

Was here.

"Your body is beautiful" I heard him say with a satisfied hum.

I already instinctively covered what I could with my arms

"No baby don't cover yourself, don't cover all that beauty" he said and I felt chills up my spin.

I couldn't say anything, every time I tried to say something nothing would escape my lips.

I could see him from the clear curtain, but it was blurred. Was he a person? An actual person?

If he was how was he here without being noticed?

"You ask a lot of questions baby girl" he said and chuckled.

Uhm, how does he know?

"There you go again with the questions!" He said and laughed

"Stop reading my thoughts" I said trying to reach for a towel without revealing my self from behind the shower curtain.

"Okay, okay" he said

Thank god.

"You're welcome"

"Stop!"

I needed to find a way to get rid of him.

There has to be a way.

I pulled out my laptop and searched on how to get rid of spirits.

He wasn't a human

At one point he was
But not anymore.

I could tell because he vanished. Yeah crazy right?

He didn't walk out

he didn't jump out of the window

He vanished.

I'm going insane, that's the only reasoning I can come up with.

Cause all the other damn reasons are psychotic

A ghost?

Ghosts don't exist Margo !

I searched long and hard and I think I finally found what I needed.

4:00 pm

My clock read in its red electronic numbers that flashed brightly in my dim lit room.

Go time Margo.

I heard the rushing of footsteps out the door.

Kelsey, double trouble, and my dad are going to a drive in movie.

They invited me but I reminded them how much I despise the outdoors.

I just needed a few hours alone so I could make my plan. I don't hate the outdoors

I hate people.

I grabbed my bike from the garage also grabbing my backpack and slinging it over my shoulder I locked the door on the way out and biked all the way to the shops.

There was a voodoo shop located in the creepy part of the town. I entered and I found what I needed, sage. I made a quick purchase and made my way home before sunset.

6:00

The sun was setting and it was time. I grabbed a lighter and set the flame to the sage.

All of a sudden the light from the sage went out

And so did the light to my room and to the house.

I heard his deep chuckle again.

"You thought that could get rid of me?" He asked

I felt him standing right in front of me.

"Margo, I'm the monster that lives under your bed, I'm the voices inside of your head, I'm the chills that shoot up your spine, I am the fright in your dreams, I am the one that causes your screams, I am the boogie man in your closet, I'm in the darkness and in the light. There is no getting rid of me Margo" he whispered close to my ear

His lips brushing against the skin of my ear his hands gripped tightly around my waist
