The next day seemed to roll by extremely slowly , school passed like a blur . Teachers , friends and even students who she had never spoken to came to share their condolences. She hadn’t been popular in school, but she had been very helpful to both teachers and students.”Lindy ,I’m here for you, it’s all going to be alright” her childhood friend fredda said giving her a warm hug , it was probably the hundredth time that day “edda I’m fine, it’s been six months, you don’t have to worry about me”
Linda lied casually ” Lindy , I’ve known you since we were ten , you can’t lie to me” she replied ” have you spoken with umm.. your dad ?” She added hesitantly . Linda’s face instantly turned stone cold “No ” her icy voice reflected her hate for her father. Fredda knew better than to say anything else,she just hoped her friend would let go of the grudge in her heartLinda got home frustrated by the police’s inability to solve her mother’s case .she had thought of different means to solve it herself and decided that the only person who could truly reveal the murderer was the person who was murdered .She had read online that it was possible to communicate with the dead through an Ouija board, all she had to do was perform a small ritual to summon whomever she wanted to speak with.
Locking the doors and windows ,she made sure no one could see her ,her aunt Stella was still at work and wouldn’t be back till later that night because she was working double shifts at the clinic ; she was a nurse . She picked up her bag and brought out an old tattered looking Ouija board ,the letters were faded and it was chipped on two edges. She had gotten it from a weird shop that sold old relics and a few mystical stuff ,she had seen tarot cards and other divination tools there too.The strange old woman that owned the shop didn’t talk much ,she looked scary as she handed the board to Linda and had refused to collect payment , the only words she uttered as Linda walked out of the shop were “Be warned”. But that didn’t deter Linda as she had already made up her mind to communicate with her mother and nothing would stop her.She lit a few scented candles and set them at the four corners of the room , and sat cross-legged at the center of the room with the Ouija board infront of her. She picked the tear shaped planchette and placed it on the board pressing it firmly with her forefinger. With a solemn voice she called “Mother are you here , can you hear me ?” . A cold breeze blew through out the room giving her goosebumps and making the hair on her spine stand on end. The planchette automatically spun and landed on the word ‘yes’ which was on the upper left corner of the board.

The Hunted Girl
” Hey Mom ,Am home”Linda shouted as she dropped her heavy black bag on the cushion.
“Hey,Honey welcome home ,Sitting in the living room,Am bringing your meal “Linda’s mom replied “OK mom”.
She sat down on the chair beside her bag and grabbed the remote from the table.The living room was very wide and had all the luxurious equipment to make one have a comfort home.It had 5 seetee in it and three seats and there was a ceiling fan in the room to keep it cool.Each corner of the living room was decorated with ornaments and it had beautiful curtains.
“Mom!” Linda called again and when she got no reply she moved to the kitchen to check for her mom .But her Mom was already dead,she was lying in a puddle of blood right on the kitchen floor.
“Mom!!!” Linda screamed on top of her voice, ‘how did this happen? she replied me seconds ago’ Linda thought as she wept. She ran out of the house and went round the building to find if anyone came in to kill jer mum but she couldn’t find any clue or any one .
She ran back inside and then she called the police ,she quickly dialed the police Emergency code and reported the incident.Few minutes later ,two police men arrived with an ambulance.Linda’s mom was rushed to the hospital while the policemen settled down for interrogation.
Linda and her mom lived alone, Linda’s Dad divorced her mom when she was 10 years old,it was a really tough time for her and her mom.Linda was very heartbroken and her mum escaped the tough moment and they were living fine but now she’s dead.
The policemen finished the interrogation and inspected the crime scene with Linda.They took every piece of evidence they could find and left.
Some weeks later,they returned and gave Linda the report ,but everything the investigators found couldn’t lead to the muderer of Linda’s mom.They couldnt find any wound that shows she might have been hurt or shot ,which makes it look like she was gagged to death but the autopsy results did not give any genuine information about that .
Everything was just blank ,Linda kept on wondering,thinking about wat the investigators said until it was midnight.Linda suffers from a disease called ‘Insomnia’ which makes her sleepless atimes.So she took her phone and decided to watch some movies
Few minutes later a scream was heard from Linda’s room so her aunt who was brought to take care of her after the demise of her mom ran into Linda’s room due to the noise ‘what happened dear?’ She asked ,but Linda was already In shock ,she couldn’t ulter a word out of her mouth. Her aunt calmed her down ‘Now can u tell me what happened’ she asked Linda .
‘Since I couldn’t sleep then I took my phone and started watching some movies just so I won’t get bored ,I became scared and I also feeling the cold weather I dropped my phone and tried to force my self to sleep ,never knew wat came over me then I started reciting a particularly prayer mum taught me,suddenly I saw myself in the midst of two different groups of people ,the first one was putting on whites while the other group was on black,I became so scared that I started shivering then I suddenly looked for a way to escape ,guess what I saw? My aunt who died 3yrs ago telling me that everything would be alright ,I should not be scared ,she will save me from them,Then I looked at my left and saw the other group in black telling me to follow them so they can take me to my mom ,when I heard the word Mom,I felt like following them but suddenly My aunt shouted my name ‘Don’t go!!!’ She yelled ,I became so scared and confused on wat to do”Share this:
