2 months later, Julia moved to a new house with her parents and Marlene. It was on the opposite side of the Sierra area forest.
Julia's P.O.V.
We had finally moved the last box into my new house. Single level ranch and only two bedrooms but, for a widow like me and my parents and Marlene, it was just enough.
The house was right in the heart of a great suburban neighbourhood with a two-car driveway and a pretty big backyard interconnected with the forest. When I had seen the yard, the first thing I thought of was all the parties I'd be hosting with Marlene.
I stepped onto the deck and took a breath of the fresh air while closing my eyes to imagine Toby's company and, ofcourse- Marlene. I stretched my arms out and let out an exuberant sigh of relief forgetting all the danger and pain I was in.
I scanned my surroundings.
The houses in our neighbourhood were creepy and seemed as if they had been abandoned.
It was starting to get dark.
To my right, I saw a macabre garden with a large eldritch oak tree. Under it was an old and cranky swing with a woman swinging on it. "Great," I thought, "I really must say that the people of this neighbourhood stay awake till long." I continued to look at that woman. Her back was turned at me. She wore a shabby black tunic and her hair were long and greasy. She wore gloves too which struck to me as odd, since it was summer and kind of warm outside, even at night. I brushed it off and assumed that the woman was sick. Just then, my parents called me in for dinner.

"Dad who are the people that live next door to us? They seem pretty chill. A woman of their house was still out on the swing at this time of the night."
"Well that's weird, cause the houses in this area are forsaken and I don't think anyone lives in them." Dad said while chewing on his bread.
"Oh that's very strange then." I said.
We went in the yard after dinner and it was pretty strange to see that the woman was still on the swing.
This time she sat on the swing facing our house. I saw her haunting eyes peering into mine as she smiled that horrid smile.

Who do you think that woman was and where did she come from?
Has Jessica taken her revenge or will she kill Julia too?
