Sheryl's POV-
"Rhea! What are you doing there?"
"H-huh, Oh Sheryl! I was talking to a lady"
"What? Where is she?"
I looked behind her to check but didn't see anyone there.
"She left after you called me"
"Oh nevermind, so are you coming ? "
"Coming where? "
"You didn't even know about it? You said you were coming to the party? "
"Oh that party! Was that today? I totally forgot about it."
"Well, are you coming?"
"Sure"
I can't really figure her out but I have this feeling that I don't need to. Well she was a bit weird sometimes so I just got used to it.
"Have you heard?"
Rhea asked while we were walking to our room to prepare for the party.
"Heard about what?"
"The incident. Apparently, it didn't happen once, they also found corpse of students from their own academy just days after Chris' death."
"Whoa, that's kinda creepy and dangerous! You sure you still want to go to the party?"
I jokingly told her.
"Ha ha! Well, I love creepy and dangerous so..."
"Hey! Who knows? maybe we'll meet the serial killer on our way ha ha..."
She didn't respond. After several steps forward I can't seem to hear her footsteps anymore so I turned around to look. She was just standing there with that shocked reaction on her face.
"H-hey what's..."
I was about to ask what's wrong when I saw someone from my rear view. It's not something normal so it bothered me. It looked like a transparent face and whatever it is, I can feel it's presence together with some kind of a heavy feeling coming from my back.
"Help us..."
The transparent entity whispered to me before it fade away lifting the heavy feeling it was with.
"L-let's just sleep for tonight..."
Rhea told me in a soft voice.
It didn't felt safe that night. We suddenly realized how dangerous it was to be in our position. It just came to us that it really isn't safe that night. I mean, one of our classmate died and one is missing.
We went inside our dormitory when I started to ask Rhea about what just happened.
"I know you saw that",
"It was a warning, it's not safe outside."
"What do you mean?", I asked
"It's warning us about going to the party"
"I think we should sleep for tonight then",
"Yeah, well... I think that's the best solution"
After entering our dorm room I kind of felt a bit relieved and asked her once again...
"That's a bit weird though, how do you know these things?"
"It's hard to explain but I see ghosts once in awhile ."
"What? You never told me."
"I didn't want it to bother you. I saw her whisper in your ear, it must be a warning."
"She whispered , 'help us' "
The conversation ended there, she didn't reacted to it and went to bed.
"Hey so what should I do? "
"Help her, what else?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm shivering here! Help me!"
She became more serious and answered me back:
"Don't get involved, just forget it. Just... Just be careful and don't get involved"
"Do you think it has something to do with the incident? ", I asked feeling frightened.
"Yes, that is why I said to be careful and don't get involved "
I didn't ask anything else and just lay down in my bed and closed my eyes. I still felt frightened and I can't seem to fall asleep. I then started to smell weird things. It smells like a hospital room, and I can even smell blood. I opened my eyes and what I saw shocked the hell out of me.
It was an operating room and I could see some organs being pulled out of my body. I cant scream or shout when I noticed someone with an insane look in her face was stitching up my lips with a large needle in her hand. I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore and everything just went black. I felt my body sprang up from my bed and then I realized that I woke up from a nightmare.
"Are you ok?", Rhea asked me.
"I-I had a nightmare"
I was shocked when I could suddenly open my mouth. The feeling when my mouth was stitched up was so realistic that I even started to cry after realizing it was all just a dream.
"What just happened?"
Rhea asked as she walks towards the light switch.
"I-I can't explain in detail, it was just painful."
"It must've been, I heard you screaming while you're asleep. I went to check on you when I suddenly saw a shadow standing beside you before you suddenly woke up."
"Whatever this is, it's not normal! What should I do Rhea?"
"Don't worry about it. We're gonna find what's that about, this morning. For now, let's just go back to sleep."
"I can't, I can't go back to sleep."
She stood up and walked towards me.
"It's fine, I'll sleep beside you. It's still 1:03 in the morning, let's just wait for the sun to rise."
What Rhea did made me calm and so I went easily back to sleep without anymore worries. I woke up when Rhea went out of the room to go to the showers. I stood up and opened the window. It was 5:23 in the morning.
The cold air from outside went in the room and gave me a cold breeze. The sun still hasn't rise yet on that hour. I went back to my bed and covered myself in my warm blanket. I closed my eyes for a moment when the door in our room suddenly opened. It startled me so I turned around.
"Well that was quick, did you forgot something?"
Rhea was quiet, she had a blank look in her face while she was closing the door.
She didn't even respond to my question. She sat down on her bed quietly.
"What happened?"
She's still not responding. Then suddenly, someone was knocking in our dorm room.
"Come in! " I told to the person who was knocking.
"It's locked!" the person responded from the outside.
"Can you get that?"
I asked Rhea but there was still no response. So i got up on my feet to open the door. As I was walking towards the door, I saw Rhea stood up from my rear view. The moment I was turning the doorknob, she whispered to me:
"Please help us..."
I was startled once again when I saw Rhea from the outer side on the slight crack in the opening of the door, she was already finished taking a shower. I observed that the Rhea that was with me disappeared after it whispered, I was frozen for a moment. I suddenly had goosebumps and I realized that the one who whispered to me was not the Rhea I know. It had stitched lips just like the entity that whispered to me before.
