MERA

DISCOVERY

Mum glared at Mr Jason, wiping her red swollen eyes.
"Who the hell is this man?" She glared.
I gently stepped back so that he could enter. He glanced at mum but said nothing.
"Why is nobody explaining anything to me, how can someone knock and you let the person into my damn house!" She yelled.
"This is Mr Jason Crane and he is a demonologist" I tried to explain.
I saw her brows raise in what I decided to take as alarm "a what?"
"An exorcist" Sandy simply said "we contacted him"
Jason looked around and saw where Vic sat heaving after crying his soul out.
"He was your friend right?" Jason asked and without waiting for a reply he began to walk around.
"Please leave this house" mum gently said.
"He isn't going anywhere Mum! We invited him because he is good at this! Bryan was killed here today and I am not going to lie around until I am dead!" Sandy thundered to my own surprise.
Mum was taken aback, she just stood there ready to yell again but I was glad when Jason spoke first.
"I researched your house" he began "its a pity most people don't do that before buying a house"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"There are a couple of stories about this house. Bad, sad stories. You know some people prefer to believe that its a myth"
Vic lay on the couch and sprawled himself.
"What stories?" I asked again
"A boy and a girl murdered ruthlessly in this house. The occupants who lived here had strange stories surrounding them too"
Sandy's eyes beckoned him to continue, so he did "people around noticed that they just enter one day and do not come out. No noise, no packing, no dead body...just silence"
I felt goosebumps rise in my body. That was why Mum didn't hear us that day. The ghost loved to keep it cool while causing a whole lot of havoc at the same time.
"So?" I asked "what's the way forward?"
"First of all I would be given a room because I would be staying for a while"
"There is no empty..." Mum began to say.
"You can stay in mine" Vic said immediately. "My bed is really big. I will be going to stay with Aunt Clair by the way"
Jason smiled at him "good"
"About the death of the people murdered here, any news?"
"Two teenagers, a girl and a boy were killed her years ago by the girl's sister who loved the boy. It was on the girl's birthday and this was her house. Her sister murdered her, then raped the boy before murdering him" he said
Sandy and I exchanged glances.
"They were killed and hidden out in the basement..."
I shuddered
"They were discovered weeks later and the sister hasn't been found till date, so if there is anywhere the ghosts will start the killing from, I think it would be from the basement. It's a pity someone has already opened the way to kill, the way of blood to them"
I clung to the seat for balance
Turning to me, he said coldly "Mera, get me the keys to the basement, let's go and find our ghost"
Even as I left to find the keys, that statement kept ringing in my ear
let's go and find our ghost
