Lurking In The Shadows

Chapter 13

"What do you mean". I asked. " I mean that he is going to bring his next victim from that shed" she pointed at a very old, boarded building " and bury them here". She said finishing her statement.

When I looked around, I started to see different figures of females standing at a cross. I guess that is where they were buried. Each woman is from different races, and they were all wearing white dresses.

How could this be possible. My mom married a psychotic serial killer, and she is sharing the same bed with him. How am I going to convince her about leaving him without looking like a crazy person.

Just then I see Scarlet and Emily walking over to where Louise and I are standing. "I see that you have finally made it. We called you here because we believe that you can set us free". Said Scarlet. "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "Come with us".

That was all she said before she turned around and started walking. All the other females started walking with her too. I followed closely behind them with Louise beside me. We all gathered in a circle when we heard Scarlet spoke up.

"We all had a purpose in our lives. But it was cut short by a very selfish man. He was a man I once loved and because of that love I fell to my demise. But all that is about to change" she said and looked in my direction.

The other females followed her eyes and were staring at me too. It was so uncomfortable. I mean having a bunch of female ghosts looking at you at midnight is not creepy at all. Note the sarcasm. Scarlet motioned me to come beside her, and I complied without hesitation.

"This here is Rebecca" she introduced me. "She is the stepdaughter to the man who slaughtered us in cold blood". Now why would she say that. Now all the females are looking at me with hate. I looked at Scarlet, but she just smiled at me before speaking again.

"But don't worry she hates that man more than we do. He destroyed her family; he ruined her life and now she is going to help set us free". Just then the ladies started to cheer. "Aum quick question. How am I going to set y'all free?" They all looked at me like I've grown two heads.

"By getting Jordan arrested. Once we know that he's going to rot we will be at peace." Emily spoke. "Well, it could be a possibility, but where is the evidence. In order to put someone behind bars you need evidence that he committed the murder". They all took a moment to process this information. I guessed they haven't thought about it.

"Shes right. How is he going to get arrested if we don't have any evidence against him whatsoever?" They all started mumbling. Oops, I think I've created a mess between the ghosts. There must be something I can do. These ladies been killed in cold blood, and they deserve their freedom.

"I have an idea". I finally spoke up. But just then I heard footsteps. Like actual heavy footsteps and I also heard something being pulled on the floor. What the hell. The other females seemed to notice it too. Just then I felt two pair of hands grab on to me and they are whispering something.

When I looked, I see Emily and Lousie beside me. Just then I see a male silhouette pulling a body bag towards the graveyard. I gasped. It was Jordan. I was in the same position, but I don't think he noticed. It's like Louise understood what I was thinking "Don't worry he can't see you". I sighed with relief.

The hole of the plot was already dug open. He dropped the body in the plot. He then turns and went to the shed and returned with a shovel and started to throw dirt unto the body until it was covered completely. He then went to return the shovel back to the shed and headed back to the direction of home.

"We need to get you out of here since he always checks your room when he returns". "What the hell and you just plan to tell me this information now. How am I going to get back before him?" Scarlet just smiled. She said a few words and before I knew it I was in my bedroom. Cool. I just jumped into bed and pretend that I was sleeping.

After 5 minutes I heard the door of my room open. I stilled myself not wanting to give myself away. A few moments later I heard the door closed. I still didn't trust it so I stood in my same position and eventually I fell asleep.

Can my life get any worse....................
