Sleepover

Wednesday Night on 3rd Week of Easter

Imee Therese's POV:

"Wow, Imee! You're so awesome!"

"Huh? Ehehehe...what did I do to you, Evangeline?"

"Well, you are able to feed 600 families with just 100 boxes of relief goods! You're really so cool!" Evangeline commended me.

"Oh, I see." I smiled at her in return. "It's not me who did it, it's from God. I'm just praying it to make it happen."

In the last night here in Evangeline's house, we have been blessed with a lots of free time to know about each other...

"So...umm...Catherine, for how long you have dating my cousin Joshua?" Evangeline asks my friend.

"Actually, we've been a couple for weeks now..." Catherine replies. "It started when I helped him recompose himself after being possessed by a demon."

"Wait...di-did you say...he's po-possessed by a demon?!?! Evangeline stutters in fear. "Thi-this is not the first time that he has been possessed!!!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" I speak out to calm her down.

"We-well...my cousin Joshua is very kind and open to everyone that one day...he make a terrible mistake...when he was invited by his friend to join in a ritual called 'The Spirit of the Glass' where they call some random spirits and try to communicate with them supernaturally using a glass and a board of alphabets and symbols..."

Evangeline continues her testimony. "But that ritual gone wrong...the evil spirit begin to enrage and take possession of Joshua...that evil spirit did so many stupid things on him...jumping from heigher places without getting injured...punching random person and things without any reason at all...and says nothing but a warning of bad omens coming."

"I tried to seek help from the quack doctor to heal him from that evil spirit. At first, it worked...but when time passes by...I realized that that evil spirit never left Joshua...and its more dangerous than ever...the last thing that I knew...that spirit made Joshua stab an innocent little ki-AAAAAAH!!!!"

Evangeline's story was abruptly interrupted when she screams aloud...perhaps she saw something bizarre...

"Eva! Eva! Wha-what's going on?!?!" Joshua worriedly ask his cousin.

"I...I...I ju-just saw a white la-lady outside of our room!!!"

Then I felt a strange cold atmosphere around me...as if it tells me that there's somebody out there...looking for a victim that it can be devoured to do their hellish tricks.

"Guys, stay put." I warned them all. "We must search that lady and set her free. Anthony, please keep an eye over me."

"Yes, Imee."

Christian Anthony's POV:

We searched around the house for any signs of the "white lady". Imee continuously pray The Lord's Prayer as we toured around...

"Umm...guys, have you already known whether this house is haunted or not?" Catherine asks the cousins.

"Hmm...now that you've mentioned it, perhaps I heard from a bystander that there's something that is lurking within this place." Joshua explains. "I don't know how did that spirit get here...but...they say that she won't go away unless she will have justice to whatever people has done to her....woah!"

"Wooosh!!!" Suddenly, a gust of wind was felt...as lights have mysteriously turned off. Everybody's cautious on our surroundings. In my case, I'm looking around Imee's wheelchair. I don't want somebody will hurt her ever again!

"Brrr!!!!" Catherine shivers. "Why in the world will be so cold out here...in the middle of a warm night?!"

"Brrr!!! Ye-yeah...it's so iro-ronic..." Evangeline shivers in chill as well. "It do-doesn't make any se-sense!"

But as the two girls complain about the sudden coldness of the atmosphere, Imee sensed something else...

"Anthony...the spirit...she's just around us..."

I hold her hand...closed our eyes...and prayed together...so the Lord protect us all...and calm the spirit lurking around us...

"Lord, protect us all from all evil...cast out the evil shadow that engulfing our home...and help us...to help the spirit...that she could achieve the justice...that she deserves. Amen."

And when I opened my eyes upon finishing our prayer...there I saw...the white lady...her white clothes have been stained by blood...the lady is bathed in white...while her eyes are dark black...and is making an evil stare over us.

Catherine, Evangeline and Joshua saw the white lady...and flees away out of fear. I was supposed to follow them and take Imee away with me...but...the whi-white lady is so clo-close to me!!! I-I ca-can't move my legs! I-I ca-can't run because of fear!!! But...

"Don't be afraid, Anthony...it's fine." Imee smiled at me amidst the situation. "She's just lost. Let God guide her back to where she belongs..."

Imee Therese's POV:

I can sense the presence of the white lady...through a vision of a misty figure in front of me...

"Don't worry, my friend...you don't have to be scared...God will be with you...he will lead you home..."

As I smile and encourage this lost lady...I felt a light glowing inside of me. And then...without any exerted effort, my lifeless arms began to rose...and the light within me is emitted, through the wounds of my hands, towards her. And I found myself...singing a familiar song...

"Let us tell the world of His love
The greatest love the world has known
Search the world for those who have walked
Astray and lead them home...."

The next thing that I knew...I was raised up from the ground...and begins to hug the lost lady. There are tears falling into my shoulders...I looked up and saw...the white lady, usually scaring people, is shedding tears of joy. At long last, she has received the most precious thing that she wanted...somebody who could understand her...

"Don't worry...our Good Lord will bring you deliverance and justice...I just believe in Him...and don't bother us now."

Hearing this assurance to her, the white...lost lady...smiles at me and replies sweetly...as she starts to vanish...

"Thank you...milady. The Lord is my shepherd...I shall not want..."

Hmm...I guess that she's still devoted to God after all, huh?

Christian Anthony's POV:

We watched in awe...as Imee begins to glow, raised up from her wheelchair...and hugged a ghost into its freedom. And now the white lady vanished, Imee begins to fall to the ground so I knelt to catch her.

"Gotcha! Are you alright, Imee?"

"Yes, of course." My guardian angel smiled at me. "I believe that the white lady his finally left us...and she will be resting in peace."

And as for Evangeline, Catherine and Joshua...it was one of the most unforgettable experience ever...

"Whaaa! Imee!!!" Catherine and Evangeline hugs her after I returned her to the wheelchair. "You're so awesome! You hugged a spirit...I didn't see anything like it!"

"Hehehe! Thanks! But it's not me who do it...it was God...I was only His instrument to make it happen."

And as chatter goes on and on between the girls, Joshua goes to Imee's back and pat her shoulder so she could notice him...

"Umm...Imee?"

"Oh! Yes, Joshua?" Imee turned her head back a bit and smiled. "What can I do for you?"

"Milady, thank you for showing me how majestic God is." Joshua, an atheist and leaning towards baptizing to the Church, thanked her. "Will you teach me how you pray to Lord God?"

Imee replies to him with a giggle and a wink

"Of course! Hehehe! Let's see...for starters, I'm gonna teach you one of my favorite prayers...The Lord's Prayer..."
