The Supernatural

 Twenty - one year old Rhea Johnson was walking through an empty alley at ten in the evening. She was usually dismissed from her job at seven o’clock, but that night she had to work over – time because she had to host a gathering for a family.

Just midway through the alley, she was gagged and tied up. She squirmed in the grip of whoever was holding her, but it was no use. She was stripped of her dignity that night. Beaten, bruised and bleeding, she was left to die…

 “So, mister Pakits, how long have you been…seeing her?” Doctor Jensen, a therapist, asked his patient.

“Nine years,” he answered, still trembling.

“Now, she was your girlfriend, right?” Doctor Jensen asked. Mister Pakits only nodded. “And you began to see her in your dreams right after she died, correct?”

“Not only in my dreams; she would appear every time the lights turn off. I see her beaten, bruised and bleeding form, and I would see her sobbing and asking, ‘Why me? Why me?’” Mister Pakits answered, trembling.

The therapist nodded, stood, and turned the lights off. After a few seconds, Mister Pakits screamed. Doctor Jensen switched on the lights and saw Mister Pakits trembling even more than before.

“Why do you think she haunts you?” Doctor Jensen asked.

“She…I… I was the one who raped her,” Mister Pakits answered, tears falling down his blue eyes.

Doctor Jensen’s eyes grew wide, since he wasn’t expecting that answer. Composing himself, he inquired, “Why did you rape her?”

“It all started with a bet. John, my friend, told me he’d give me three thousand grand if I could get into her pants in a span of three days. I agreed, since she was my girlfriend. When I asked her if she wanted to do it, she said no, saying she didn’t want to do it until after marriage. I asked her three times in two days, but every time, she refused. I got mad and raped her the night of the second day. I got my money, so only John knows about it.”

Doctor Jensen stood, walked towards the telephone that was on a table by the door and called the police. Mister Pakits accepted the fact that he was being arrested, knowing that what he did was really, really wrong.

Mister Pakits was sentenced to twenty years in jail. Unlike others who held a grudge about it, he found tranquility.  He never screamed in the dark anymore, and he knew that Rhea had found her peace.
