The spirit next door episode 9 – 10

🌴💀The Spirit Next Door💀🌴
Part Nine

Yeah, as I said earlier, it seems I’m the bridge connecting the Spirit and my family. I’m the only that always see the Spirit and I’m the only that have ever seen it. Even Precious and her family don’t know how the Spirit looks like. And, tonight scenario in my Uncle’s house shows that he will continue appearing every where I go because I’m the string connecting both sides.

I formed another assumption and decided that the only way to hinder the Spirit from getting to my family is to cut the bridge away. I’m the bridge but I’m not ready to die. What if I die, and the Spirit continue appearing to my family?.

I ignored the thought and focused on the Spirit before me. I don’t even know when the Spirit stood up and moved closer to me. I was outside the house alone with the Spirit and everywhere was dark. The only light illuminating the place was the dim moonlight.

This time, he made it obvious that he is aware I’m around. Instead of going in,side to kill someone or kill a creature around the house, he stood before me like I’m the next person to die. I was afraid because of his dangerous stare.

I became scared of death than the Spirit, and at the same time, I became scared of the Spirit than death because the spirit is the only one that can bring death to me.

I was right, he moved closer to me and held my neck tightly. He didn’t even strangle me, he just held unto my neck and started absorbing the life energy in me. I felt life slipping out of me. I couldn’t scre-m or shout, I was just looking at him helplessly.

I didn’t even bother to pray for God to save me. My prayer at that moment was that of forgiveness. I’ve already assumed and accepted that I will die.

My eyes were wide opened like a dead goat’s eye. Tears started streaming down my eyes. I wished I’ve never met Precious and her family. I was really sad for my parents. My younger sister just died, we’ve not even carried out any burial arrangements on her, now I’m on my way to meet her.

The design of my uncle’s house was really different from ours. The way it was designed made it possible to observe the parlour from two adjacent rooms. And, you have to pass through the parlour if you are going to the toilets. Only the bedroom of my uncle has it own personal toilet.

I was about to take the last step to the world beyond when I heard the door of the room where I and my brother slept opened. I shifted my eye to the side and saw my brother rubbing his eye with the back of his hand. He didn’t even look at my side. He didn’t notice us.

He went to the toilet and started urinating. He came out a minute later. On seeing his, the Spirit released my neck and smiled at me.

“I’ve changed my mind, I will teach you how to mind your business. Initially, I wanted to kill you and leave your family alone. But now, I’m going to kill all your family first, then I will reserve you for last. I’ll make sure you experience the pain of losing your loved ones”.

“You know what, I have experienced it before and that’s why I’m haunting that house before you interfered in a business doesn’t concern you”

What, I’ve never heard the spirit talking. That will be the first time I’m hearing him talking. And what he said made me shiver, angry and sad.

He released my neck immediately he said this and moved over to where my brother was standing. It seems my brother didn’t even notice.

Then the spirit grabbed his little neck and started absorbing the life in him.

🌴💀The Spirit Next Door💀🌴
Part Ten

From the moment the spirit released my neck and grabbed Junior’s neck, Junior wasn’t aware that I nor the spirit was in the parlour. Junior stopped immediately the spirit grabbed his neck.

The Spirit weakened my body and made it impossible for me to move. I was seeing the way he was murdering Junior, but I couldn’t do anything. The Spirit wanted to make me pass through what he has passed through. He wanted to make me feel the feelings of losing a loved ones.

Junior raised his head like someone possessed, and he was breathing as if he is under water. The way he was shaking and looking really shows that he wasn’t seeing the Spirit. He was just responding to the spirit touch.

I saw how the spirit was extracting something like a white smoke out of my brother’s mouth. When I saw the way my brother was losing his grip from the world, the word the spirit said started sounding in my head “I’m going to kill all your family first and reserve you for last”.

Tears started streaming down my face. I haven’t cried in years. Not until the Spirit started troubling my family. I have cried, cried and cried severally like a baby.

I don’t know where the power came from. It really seems as if God gave my Samson a little power to do wonder. I started scre-ming intensely like an alto singer. “Junior, Junior, Junior, I continue scre-ming my brother’s name until I saw the door of the room where my dad slept opened.

Then I saw my dad running towards us with bible in his hand. The way he even ran out made it seems as if he had been waiting for the spirit to come. He ran over to where the spirit was standing and attempted to knock his head with the bible he was holding.

The banshee disappeared before my dad could reach him. My body was released immediately the spirit disappeared and I felt like a burden just got off my head.

Dad ran over to me and started checking me out. “Are you Okay?, hope the spirit didn’t hurt you?, when did it appeared into this house?, he started asking different questions simultaneously.

“Yes dad, I’m quite fine”, I said as I struggled to get up. I dusted off my body as if I just ended a race on dess**t and wiped the tears off my face.

Then my dad dropped the bombshell. The word which I and my creator won’t want to hear.

“Where is Junior, I heard you scre-ming his name earlier. Where is him, he is not here”

“What, Junior is not here” I replied in shock. “I thought you saved him when you came out earlier. I saw the way you wanted to hit the spirit, noo no, this is not possible” I lamented in fear.

We quickly ran to his room to check him, but he wasn’t there. We went back to the toilet, he wasn’t there. We checked all the rooms in the building, Junior was no where to be found.

Then it dawned on us that the Spirit has disappeared with Junior, if not Junior’s dead body.

Everywhere became silent. My mum couldn’t cry anymore. She has been crying over Esther’s death, now Junior is no where to be found.

Everyone went to parlour and stayed together till morning.

Throughout the night, my mind couldn’t erase the imagery of how the spirit was killing my brother. Junior’s case saddened my heart most because he was the closest member to me in our family.

The next day, I decided to go and check the s₱0t where I saw the tree yesternight. I wanted to check if there’s a dark s₱0t there like it is in our compound.

When I went outside, what I saw was more than a dark s₱0t. I saw Junior lifeless body on the s₱0t. I couldn’t shout nor scre-m. Hot tears started streaming down my face again.

The spirit said he will kill all my family, now he has taken Junior, I don’t know who is next?.
