My New Neighbor

Episode 17

I was so sure I saw Pete staring at me through the mirror but I couldn’t find him when I turned my head.

I ran to the living out of fear and there they are. Many people with different faces, most bearing the faces of many people I have killed.

I could spot the cute guy I murdered in my former apartment. I lured him into my apartment with an excuse that my gas is faulty and i need his help. He fell for it. I killed and tasted his blood too and it was very tasty for a cute guy like him.

I could also see the tall and not too handsome guy that trailed me from the gym centre to my house. Seems like he got captivated and entranced by my beauty and shape. I stabbed him from the back of his neck when he was enjoying the delicacy that I gave him.

I could also see my tall lanky boss that was trying to go through me, or rather, that was trying to go into me by having a sexual relationship with me.He said he’ll sack me if I refuse to sleep with him and I did as he wanted. He died for it anyways.

I could see Pete there too and some of the men that abducted us. Most of them died by my hands.

Many dead faces I saw there weren’t innocent after all. They got killed by what they are obsessed with.

There faces alone was turning my head and I wasn’t sure if I was seeing their ghost in my living room or I was hallucinating.

The spirit I had in me began to rage too and I got perturbed and confused both internally and externally. Everything that was around me was driving me nut.

I couldn’t move or turn my head side ways. I was thinking of taking my phone and dialling the number of the soldier but I was too helpless to do that. Even if the spirit, or rather, the demon inside me luckily stops raging, I can’t call a young innocent stranger I just met by that time of the morning. The time was about 1am.

I was still having this fight within me on knowing what to do when a strong force pulled me to the centre of the living room, right into the midst of the ghost and they all overwhelmed me as if I was a sugar and they were ants.

I started feeling grips and grabs on my whole body but non of this grips had any massive impact or effect on me. Seems they were not after me after all.

Then I got it. They were trying to pull the demon that was in me out. “Maybe they are trying to pull it with them into the hades”, I thought silently to myself.

They all kept hovering over me for about 20 minutes and the demon in me kept on screaming and raging.

Eventually, the demon was pulled out of me and they all disappeared at that instant.

The intense growling and screaming subsided and the whole atmosphere changed immediately.

Everything about me changed immediately the demon got out of me. I felt lighter and drained. I became very weak, maybe due to stress or hunger.

My thirst for blood vanished and my tongue felt like it has never tasted blood.

My energy that was left me went away with the demon and I fell on the ground with a light thud.

I woke up the next morning as a new woman.
