Do not forget me

Chapter 8

P.O. V Professor David

That night after seeing Lisa, Amanda could not make a sound; she was like a walking dead. We were lucky enough that a car was passing through the highway and had the kindness to drive us home. I did not hear of her the entire day and to be sincere, I did not want to talk to anyone either. I devoted my entire day imagining about the worst approach to use to establish the most painful death for those rapists and murderers.

I ate nothing but starvation and thirst were nothing compared to my eagerness to see Lisa again. Maybe tonight she would show up and work out for the revenge together. I kept on thinking and thinking till my head started to spin and I fell into a profound sleep. I woke up with a blench when the pendulum hit twelve. I seemed like I fell asleep the entire day which was not surprising at all. The voices from the cemetery were calling me, my soul demanded to follow the voices but my body and mind wanted Lisa to appear. I remained in my armchairs and waited, when eventually the air became frozen, steamed came out of my mouth. It was Lisa, I just knew it.

"Lisa where are you?" I called out for her with a huge beam. Even though she is a ghost now, she is my daughter. Seeing her and seeking revenge was now my only ambition.

"Right here" I overheard a perverse voice coming from the kitchen. I rushed and saw a little girl standing in the corner of the kitchen. That was my Lisa.

"I did not turn up in front of you for not scaring you as I did with Amanda," she spat

"I'm a ghost whisper, remember you cannot scare me," I assured her.

"Dad, I do not want to kill Troy, I want to drive him mad first but for that, I need someone to possess a human," she declared with a determined expression.

"Lisa when you possess someone, most of the time the humans try to fight back which leave ghosts with no alternatives than to block them. In a result the human soul would be like in a coma and worthless. Do you wish to injure an innocent?"

"No, there is no need to block them if they grant you the permission. I will just borrow the body for my attack. Then I will flee away. I vow to you," she beseeched.

"Who do you think would give a ghost their body for rental?" I clicked back

She glanced at her toes and said "Amanda".

Amanda was a nice choice, but the poor girl was traumatized and now possessing her would drive her crazy forever.

"Lisa, Amanda is terrified of you. You know this right?" I said

"Yes, but it will cost you nothing to ask her once," she appealed.

My mind said no but my heart said yes. My paternal instinct took over my soul, and I grabbed my phone, dialled Amanda number and waited for an answer. She did not take long before picking up the call.

"Hello," a soft and sweet voice answered.

"Amanda, sorry for disturbing you at such a time,"

"Oh, it's okay. I was expecting a call. Did Lisa shows up?"

"Yes, and we call for your help. Can you come over?"

"Grant me 10 minutes," she said before hanging over the phone.

I kept on walking around the living room, waiting for Amanda. Lisa was doing her weird ghostly things by hitting her own head against the wall and kept on murmuring "kill them all". Seeing her like this will surely freak Amanda.

the doorbell rang and Amanda showed up, she peeped inside and saw Lisa hitting her head against the wall. I expected her to just run away, but she got inside and walked dawdled near Lisa.

"Lisa" she murmured

Hearing her tender voice, Lisa stopped being weird and gazed at her saying nothing.

"I'm so sorry for yesterday. I should not have run away from you. I miss you so much," busted Amanda

"Amanda. I'm not annoyed with you. I would freak out too in your place but I need a favour from you," added Lisa to Amanda

"Ask me whatever that you want," Amanda snapped.

She was so convincing and bracing to cooperate that I wondered if after hearing about Lisa request she would feel the same enthusiasm.

"Lean me your body, let me possess you. I can execute them as a ghost but I'm preparing them the worst torture ever and for that, I need your body." Lisa's eyes fixed Amanda for an answer

Amanda did not react the way I predicted, instead, she smirked and spoke

"Please assure me first you will not do that creepy phenomenon of hitting my head against the wall," she chuckled.

"I guarantee you that you will not get hurt and you will have full conscious about what is going on. On top of that, you would be able to take control of your body whenever you wish,". Lisa promised her.

"Okay, I'm a little tense but I trust my best friend,"

Amanda reaction still amazed me. Yesterday she reacted like the walking dead and now she is all delighted to get possessed. This girl is unpredictable. Lisa flew near Amanda, placed her frigid hands on the warm hands of Amanda and gradually fusing herself into Amanda's body. Amanda gazed at me and blackout. That is what happens when a ghost possesses someone. Amanda will not wake up until dawn. The law of nature can stun you sometime. I picked up Amanda's body in my arm and placed her on my bed hoping that it will be Lisa waking up in it.
