Hello, this is Rose.

Yes.

Your mother has been rushed to the family hospital. You have to come over right now.

Without more details she hang up. What could have happened. I spoke to her two days ago and she was perfectly fine.

Fred was waiting for me to spill it out. I told him and he embraced me.

'What will you do? He asked me.

'I will have to go there to know what really happened to her. I said.

I opened my closet to take few of my clothes, I brought out my mini box and pack my stuff inside it. I went to shower and dresssd up. To my utmost surprise Fred decided to follow me. At first I told him not to worry but he declined. He called his office and they granted him permission.

The journey from South Carolina to Kentucky was peaceful . Not until when we arrived there that I begin to feel that someone is stalking me.

We arrived at the hospital, I and Fred went to the reception. A young lady in her early twenties was at the desk, when she noticed us she smiled to us. Her smile shows her perfect set of white teeth.

'Hello, how may I help you ma'am? She asked.

'My mother was brought in here this morning I sad nervously.

Her name please?

Mrs Brown.

'Hold on for a sec, she checked through the computer and looked up.

'Her ward is number 102.

Thanks.

Fred open the door and walk in, as I was about to walk in I felt a hand on my shoulder but no one was there.

We met the doctor attending to my mom. He writes few thing on the script he is holding, I see mom lying on the bed. She look lifeless, there is bandages covering her head.

'Mrs Jones? He said more like a question.

Yes, I said as he walked up to us.

'Am Dr Walcott. He stretched his hand forward and I shake him.

He continued 'she hit her head in the process and she has was unconscious since then. We have conducted series of test and the result will be out in the next 48 hours. But I assure you that she will be okay.

He pat my shoulder as he walk out and close the door behind us.

I hate coming to Kentucky, oh lord, heal my mother. I can't wait to return home. I hope she doesn't find me.

I was revive from my thought when Fred held my hand. I nod my even thou I don't grab what he was saying.

I walk slowly and hold her hand in mine. I sit beside her and sobbed. Fred walked up to me and lift me up. He embraced me and gave me word of encouragement.

Fred pull in the driveway, I come out of the car and look at the surroundings. It has been long since I left here but nothing change.

Rose and her daughter rush out to welcome us.

Rose started working with my mom few months before I left Kentucky. She came with her daughter Julie. She has been a good maid.

As I was about to enter the living room, I remembered the basement.

'Rose, make sure the basement is well locked. I told her.

Something is not right, I can feel her presence. I feel someone whispering to my ear. I know she is here.

I enter our old room, nothing changed. The room was just the way I left it. Rose has been cleaning it because there was not even a single dust on the furniture. The bed was as white as snow. The windows glitter like gold.

I placed my bag on the bed, I sat down then Fred came in and sat beside me. He cupped my face with his both hands and smiled. He always does that whenever he noticed am nervous and it always work.

Rose prepare chicken noodle casserole for dinner. The meals tasted nice but I lost lost my appetite. I felt her presence in the house. I hope I will survive this.
