Kimberly woke up and looked at the ceiling as usual.
"The usual, another day to do what I gotta do," she said in her mind. She got up, got dressed and went downstairs to see her parents watching the television.

"What's on guys?" she asked them as she saw s news report on Zach's death.

"Oh my God," she said as she looked on her phone and saw that his contact wasn't on it anymore. Kimberly then saw the image of his badly burnt face and immediately ran out the door to school.

"Kimberly! You haven't had breakfast!" shouted her mother.

Surprised, Jada asked, "That's atrocious! What makes you think that I'm involved?"

"Officer, I'm sure there's been a mistake,"said Kimberly.

"Yes that's true, but when I heard him screaming I thought it was a hoax," replied Jada.

"Well, we'd like you to come downtown for some questions," said Detective Jacobs, as he led Jada away from Kimberly and Dean.

"Jada! A suspect in Zach's death. That can't be a coincidence," said Dean.

"Listen to me, last night, I was scrolling through Instagram, than all of a sudden, a message popped up saying that his contact was deleted. I think there's something wrong with the phone," said Kimberly

"This cannot be real. So what are you saying? I'm trying to pencil this," said Dean.

"I don't know, but something is going on. Look at this:

"We still keep in touch," replied Kimberly, as she saw the police driving away with Jada.

Her towel dropped off her as she entered the shower and started to soap her body. She then heard hoarse whispers.

"Who's there?" asked Sara as she looked around and resumed her bath. She then looked behind her to see 10 fingers on the shower glass.

In terror, she tried to escape. However, the ghost pierced her skin with its black claws. She screamed and ran out the shower naked. The ghost chased her.

"Somebody help me!" she shouted as she tried to escape the persistent ghost. The ghost then jumped on her back and started to cut her face and eventually pushing her claws into her head, killing her. Sara then fell to the ground and bled to death, staring at the ghost as she walked away.

"Oh my God, not again," she said as she looked as Sara's contact was deleted....
