MERA

BOE 3

Sandy's POV

I was beginning to get impatient and was about going to resuscitate Mera by myself (I wasn't even sure if she was still alive) when she coughed and sat up. Jason who lay beside her stared at her. I was left with the bloody ghost who charged at me.
"Sarah!" Mera yelled. The ghost stopped and turned to look at her. Although this was my mother's body, there was nothing in the body that was my mine now.
"You bitch, you should be dead"
Mera bent and muttered something into Jason's ears. He immediately moved aside, eyeing his cross and book carefully.
"I nearly was but I'm not anymore" Mera snapped "Well I saw Kelvin" she continued. The look of surprise on the ghost's face didn't escape me, well believe me, I was both surprised and scared shit.
"How dare you!" Sarah yelled
"You're furious because you were murdered and your boyfriend was raped by your sister who murdered you two? But didn't you kill her! Is your vendetta not unfair now!"
She seemed a bit shocked, then began to laugh "unfair? Is life fair? Is anything fair? Is love, family, is death fair? No bitch! Nothing in this life is fair and so will your death, all your deaths be unfair"
"You watched dogs feed off your sister's body after you killed her. That makes you like her, you sent her to hell but you would soon be going there yourself" she huffed. Just as she was about to say anymore thing, Mr Jason loudly read from his book. A rope that was lying unnoticed on the floor flew up and dragged Sarah down tying her to a seat.
"What have you done!" She yelled.
Mera stood up "sending you back to hell, you evil thing!"
"Your mother is long gone" she smirked, "once I leave this body, she will just be dead"
"You're full of lies" I said "let's focus on getting you to hell first"
She frowned when she saw Jason opening the pages to his book
"Faster!" Sandy yelled.
He began to read out from his book fast, then faster. Sarah began to laugh, then laugh louder. Suddenly she choked and was lifted up with the chair. I gasped as I saw her throwing up blood. I was more than glad Vic wasn't here to witness this.
"What's happening?" Sandy asked me.
I shrugged.
Jason read faster then signaled water on Sandy to hold up his cross to her face. I sprinkled the holy water on Sarah and she became mad, shaking like she was epileptic. I sprinkled some more and Jason read more from his book. The chair turned upside down and nearly made my heart jump out of my heart. Then suddenly she stopped, throwing her head to the left. I breathed a sigh of relief, Jason stopped and I heard Sandy hold her breath. Suddenly the chair turned and brought her down.
"Hold this book" Jason ordered me. I obeyed.
He went forward "what's your mum's name?" He asked, his eyes not leaving me.
"Jasmine" I said "that's her name" Sandy shot me a surprise glance and I gave her a shut the fuck up look.
"Jasmine?" He called quietly. She didn't bulge
"Jasmine" he called again.
She gasped and opened her eyes "Mr Jason" she said pathetically. "Its me"
"Are you okay?" He asked touching her hand to remove the rope that tied her hands. "Jasmine"
"I'm good, just release me already. I'm in pains" she said. Jason touched her hand and made to loosen it.
"Stop!" I yelled "that's not my mum"
Jason immediately made to go back but she dragged him and scratched him deeply, he fell back blood staining his clothes rapidly.
"My mum's name isn't Jasmine, she fell for it!" I informed.
"Get the damn book!" He ordered.
But as soon as I made to bring the book, she used her eyes to throw me at the far end of the room.
"Jesus!" I shouted. She growled. I immediately stood up and tore out my nightwear, then rushed with all my strength behind her and tied her eyes amidst her growling .
"Get this over with Mr Crane!" I shouted.
He began to read again, the chair was thrown to the ceiling. For once i was glad that they couldn't hear what was going on in our house from outside.
"What if Mum is really gone?" Sandy wept.
"She is stronger than that, she will fight it. Don't worry" I said, not so sure myself.
Then I sprinkled the water on her again, she growled and nearly strengthened. My heart nearly left my chest. Then With one loud voice Jason concluded what he was reading and every where was quiet. Then with one last growl, she started shaking violently, I saw Sarah come back momentarily, then she shouted "you'll born in hell you all!" The chair crashed to the ground. Then she gasped and began to cough, sprouting out blood from her mouth. Weakly she tapped her hands on her chair.
"God" she muttered..
"Jessica?" I called quietly "are you alright?"
"When did I become Jessica you lousy child" she said weakly "I'm Maureen"
I laughed and hugged Sandy.
"Release her, she is back" I cried. "Our mother is alive"
Jason moved over and released her. We rushed over and hugged her.
"Mum!" I cried
She flinched when we hugged her "I'm so sorry I tried to hurt you all" she said
"It wasn't you, you would never hurt us. We should have known"
Jason sat by the corner. "When you're done with your hearty family reunion, one of you should fetch me an alcohol for my wound please"
Sandy smiled at him "yes sir"
I walked up to him and hugged him, he stiffened, embarrassed "what?"
"Thanks a lot Mr Crane"
"No need of thanking me, I'm going to get paid" he laughed. The first laugh since he walked into our house.
