EPISODE 5🔴

Theresa’s POV
“It’s high time to stop the pretence” The doll said.
It had a feminine voice. What on earth is this? How on earth would a doll speak?
“Be… lle” I stammered fearfully.
“Don’t call me that name! Call me Sheherazade” It spoke again.
I began to tremble, silently praying that this should all be a dream and if it is, when I’m done dreaming, I would dispose the doll right away.
But, This ain’t dream.
Sheherazade?
“She….hera.. zade” I pronounced the weird name.
I’ve heard of the name before.
Sheherazade?
It started laughing hysterically. Assuming someone was eavesdropping through my door, he or she would think I’m talking to a girl.
“Wh..what do you want? ” I stammered.
“You, Everyone and everything that makes me happy” She said and her eyes turned black again as she was speaking.
I wanted to yell again but that won’t help since it would end up sounding like a Whisper.
‘Wait! Does it mean that, all my dolls here can talk?’ I asked myself and as if she heard me,
She replied;
“No, they can’t talk but if you want me to make them talk. I would ” Sheherazade said and laughed again.
“No” I blurted.
“How… how did you get in there and who are you? ”
“Me? ” The doll was also able to move her hand and point at herself.
“I am Sheherazade. Don’t you know? I’m a spirit, I’m a non-human. I am whatever anyone calls me but don’t ever call me Belle”
I’m definitely gonna tell Dad, Everyone…
“Of course not. You’re never gonna do that because I won’t let you!” It read my mind!
“You’ll never ever leave this room” She commanded as paced around my room majestically.
“What! ”
“You’ll do as I say else you’ll hate whatever would happen to you in the next minute, when you don’t ” She said and my eyes w¡dened in fear.
“Are you still sleeping? Breakfast is served” My little brother bumped into my room without knocking first and Sheherazade dropped lifelessly by itself on the bed.
“I…. I’m coming. Wait for me” I shouted and ran towards the door. Joseph left the room first.
When a very strong force was about to push the door I rushed out of the room.
I breathe heavily when I got out.
“Tell me what was delaying you? I thought I heard your shower few minutes ago” My Mom said.
They were all settled around the dining table.
“Yeah.. ” I nodded like a confused lizard then I went to join them.
I wasn’t myself this moment. I was still terrified, I swear I’m not entering that room again.
She said I can’t leave the room but I did.
Now I have to tell Dad and Mom instantly.
“What’s wrong with you Tesa? Your hands are shaking. You seem frightened” My mom observed and asked me.
“Dad, Mom.. Where did you get that doll from?” I asked them.
“Do you love it? ” My mom asked me.
“Where did you get it from? ” I asked again half-yelling.
“A mall, I saw it in the glass shop and I knew you would love it” My Dad answered.
“Daddy that doll is… ” I started to choke.
“Water Please “My Mom asked for and Joseph quickly passed her the jug of water then she received it from him and poured me a glass of water.
I collected the cup from her and drank from it.
“A Reason why you’re meant to obey the table etiquette. Don’t talk while eating” My brother mocked, smirking at me.
“I haven’t started eating.. So I can still talk!” I fired at him.
“Dad, Mom.. The doll is ….” I resumed but I don’t know why I couldn’t complete the statement.. I tried to but I couldn’t speak.
“Nevermind” I blurted frustratedly stabbing my fork on my potatos angrily…
I didn’t even have the appetite to eat.
“Why aren’t you eating? ” My mom asked me but I just shook my head.
“I watched the intercontinental News yesternight. Sheherazade has escaped from Egypt. She vanished after killing eight priest” My Dad announced.
“Sheherazade? ”
I knew it, I’ve heard of the name before.
I barely watch the news not to talk of watching the intercontinental News but I’ve heard from those people that I’ve seen the news and heard about her most especially my Daddy.
Now I get it, Sheherazade is an Egyptian Evil Spirit. I don’t really know what happened there but she disappeared from Egypt, Probably initiated a Doll and came here through the Doll. perhaps the Doll was imported from Egypt.
Christ!
“Eight Priests! ” I exclaimed covering my mouth with both hand.
“Yes, Eight Priest. She also killed an innocent fifteen years old girl after possessing her” My Dad said.
“Oh so now.. The rest of the Egyptian thinkd that she’s no longer in their country. But what if she’s still there? She must be found before she kills more innocent bodies” My Mom added.
” Even if they find her, since eight powerful priest couldn’t destroy the evil spirit. Is there any tendency that she would be destroyed this time around” My Dad said.
I opened my mouth in an Awe.
I was shocked and scared to the marrow of my bones.
I must tell them that Sheherazade is in the house, in my room, in the new doll they got for me.. But she’ll invisibly holds my throat and she won’t let me speak.
Am I gonna die soon?
Is she gonna leave the doll and possess me instead?
“Sheherazade, The name is weird. How I wish I’m spiritually strong enough to destroy her” Joseph whom barely understands what evil spirit means said Proudly.
And then he suddenly started coughing.
I looked around and caught the harmful doll from Afar, smiling maliciously. Her evil smile alone is hurting my little brother.
“Stop it! Stop! Please stop! ” I stood up and scre-med at it.
And it disappeared. Joseph also stopped coughing and he quickly reached out his hand and collected a glass of water which my Dad handed over to him.
“Are you crazy Tesa!? ” My mom shouted at me.
“Instead of helping out your brother, you’re stood there,scre-ming at him to stop ” My mom blamed me.
Oh no..
“Your new seventeen doesn’t fit you well” My Dad said and tears crowded my eyes.
“Yes, I’m crazy. I am.. I wasn’t even scre-ming at Joseph, why would I do that?… I can’t even explain what’s happening to me and now y’all think I’m not normal” I said in a grouse.
This is the first time I would ever come across something so terrifying. I pray it would be the last also and I hope it’s ending soon.
I can’t even explain to them that Sheherazade, that evil immortal is right here.
Ah! She’s gonna ruin us.
I must do something but what?
What?
