SHE

Part 3

I had been thrown out of Harry's house. I didn't know why they were behaving weirdly. Why they were so afraid of she? Why they didn't want me to know about her? Why they believed so much in superstition? She was just an imaginary character created by Harry.

I wanted to know that how this character came in Harry's mind and at least I came to know that she was his neighbour who died. I wanted to know more about her but they didn't tell me and now I was thinking that why was I too stupid? He was only my patient who died before two days. He imaginary character died with him and they was no way to help him.

There was curiosity in my mind which was urging me to search about she and also the fact that Harry warned me about her.

Ugh... why am I thinking about her?

I chewed the piece of bread in my mouth and took a sip of water. I was sitting on the chair in my kitchen and was dumbly thinking about that stupid character about she. After coming home, I had been thinking about that case. First, I thought that I should find a way to know about her as the Watson's family wasn't helping me in this case but then I thought that why was I so worried about her and her case. I should mind my own business and that's what was I doing: doing my own work. I wasn't interested in that case anymore.

After finishing my dinner, I went to wash dishes and after fifteen minutes of washing and drying, I finally came to my room and lied down on my bed. It was 10:09 pm. I was very tired because I had spent my whole day in searching about she. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Mary?"

Someone called my name. I thought It was my hallucination.

"Mary?" Again someone called.

am I dreaming? I thought. I was alone at my home and nobody was there. I also didn't have any friend who could throw a prank at me.

"Mary?" Someone called my name again but this he/she was shaking my arm with his/her hand. I turned my back and looked at the person and when I saw her I was nearly going to scream when she suddenly covered my mouth by her hand. She was girl whom I had been seeing in my dreams recently. She was my biggest nightmare. She was wearing white clothes and her body was covered with blood just like I saw in my dream. She had hollow eyes and creepy smile.

"Mary?" She said again." Look I have come."

I was staring her. My whole body was shivering with fear.

"I have come for you!" She said again.

I woke up. I was covered with sweats. I sighed and took a deep breath. Why was I seeing that girl in my dream? I didn't have any answer but something inside me was saying that it wasn't a good thing. It was 1 'o clock at night. The time, when Harry was died and I didn't know why I always had nightmares on this time.

I tried to sleep again and couldn't . The next few days passed as ordinary days. The new thing which I was feeling in these days was that I was feeling someone's presence with me when I was alone, when I was at home, when I was in hospital and also when I was driving my car but when some other person was with me, I didn't feel any thing around me.

My nightmares were becoming stranger and more violent. In every dream, the same girl came and either she said that she had come for me or either she was hitting me with something. I couldn't forget her creepy smile and hollow eyes.

After some days, I started feeling that the presence of someone which I was feeling in these days was of a girl, the same girl whom I had been seeing in my dreams these days. I was terrified at that thought. Why my nightmare was coming to reality?
