CHAPTER 7 🔴
*-*-*
TESA’s POV
Later, the cops vehicles arrived and an Ambulance pulled over in front of my house, What for? Just to take her dead body away.
Rip Hannah, She wasn’t only an housemaid, To me.. She was like a sister and a mother when my Mom’s absent.
The Cops did not wanna believe that we are innocent, they don’t wanna believe that none of us killed Hannah, why would we ever do such??
Untill our Fingerprints were thoroughly scanned and tested, they found out that there wasn’t any sign of fingerprint or human touch on Hannah’s corpse.
Later they concluded that Hannah had committed suicide…So pathetic that I already know the truth yet I can’t even walk up to anyone and tell them the truth.
Isn’t this too big for me to handle myself??
I sat on the Varandor, afraid to walk into the house again.
Sheherazade is a Spirit! She can come meet me wherever I am.
I sighted Rennie and Ronnie approaching my house, I sprang up on my feet and ran to where they were.
“Don’t come closer, Let’s move a bit away from the house” I rushed my words breathlessly.
“Is anything the matter? And why are the cops driving in and out of your compound? ” Rennie asked me.
I tried to catch a breathe before speaking up..
“Hannah was found dead in the kitchen soaked in a pool of blood” I told them.
“What?? ” They exclaimed at the same time.
“Seriously! None of us killed her, The windows weren’t broken, the house wasn’t bulged, The think is Sh..”
“Wait wait wait Tesa! You mean your housemaid was found in a pool of blood. Why did she decide to commit suicide…? ”
“It wasn’t a suicide Rennie. It was.. ”
“You know the person? Do you?Is it someone from your family? ” She interrupted me.
“No” I said then I began to whimper..
“Rennie, Ronnie… Sheherazade is in our house” I told them.
“What? ” Ronnie exclaimed.
“You know her, don’t you? She_hera_zade the evil spirit that killed so many people including eight priest in Egypt” I said and Rennie gave a weird laughter.. Indicating that she didn’t believe me.
“I think you need a medical check up” Jane said.
“I know you guys won’t believe me but seriously Rennie, We’ve been friends since we were little, have I ever joke with serious things like that? ”
“And we both know that you really wanted us to come down to your place, that’s why you called over the phone”
“Believe me for crying out loud Rennie, Shehera…..” There was an heavy thunderstorm.
“Let’s go home Ronnie, It’s far better than standing here and listening to the trash she’s saying. Aside that, It’s about to rain”
“She can hear us already. Because I mentioned her name, she brought up the Heavy thunderstorm” I told them..while Ronnie stared at me like I was a crazy girl.
“Uh Oh, you really need to check yourself” Rennie said.
“and about your dead Housemaid, may her soul rest in peace.
Wait a minute Tesa, are you sure you’re not hallucinating?” She asked me.
“Let’s go home now Ronnie” She said and she started walking away but her twin brother stayed.
“Ronnie. You believe me, don’t you? ” I asked already weeping
“Well… I’m sorry Tesa.. you know this is unbelievable. Who would ever believe that the powerful Egypt spirit is in your house and your parent don’t know about it. It sounds more like a bull and cow story” Ronnie said.
“Please believe me, I told you about a new doll Dad promised to get, didn’t I? ”
“Err..Yeah, and why are we talking about the doll again?”
“‘cos Sheherazade is in there…” I said.
“Ronnie, You’d better come with me now! ” Rennie scre-med from afar.
I have never thought that she would give me deaf ears or disbelieve me. We were so close..We are still..
“I don’t know how she got in there, but I guess the doll is made in Egypt.Believe me, She’s evil and she’s starting to kill everyone, she’s the one who killed Hannah” I told him.
“Errrm Tesa, maybe what my sister said was right, you really need a medical check up” Ronnie said to me.
“I’m leaving, take care of yourself, sorry about the loss” He said and walked faster to catch up with his sister.
I stood there blankly, staring at my two best friends after they ignored me. I sluggishly began to walked back to the house scared, confused, unhappy. Hope lost.
“Tesaherazade! ”
“What D’ fvck is that! Not my name! ” I turned and sighted My walking doll and I was consumed by fear.
“Who did you tell about me? Who were you talking to? ” She questioned me and I shook my head instantly.
“Nobody.. Nobody”
She knew who it was, she knows I’m lying.
So I just went on my kneels and pleaded;
“Please don’t hurt him, don’t hurt them” I said rubbing my palms together.
“Tesa!” My mom came out of the house and the evil doll dropped dead on the ground.
“Mom” I said not picking up my doll and I ran towards her and held her legs really close.
“Why are you still outside? It’s getting lateCome on in, Everything is settled now. Hannah’s corpse has been taken away. I’m afraid we’re skipping dinner, I’m so bittered that I can’ do anything ” My mom said and I nodded and turned the door knob about to go in.
“Are you gonna leave your new doll outside? ” She asked me.
I stared at the evil thing on the ground, Sheherazade is still in it but she’s only pretending ‘cos of the presence of my mom.
I walked towards it, carried it up then ran angrily towards the street.
“I don’t ever want you” I scre-med.
“What are you doing Tesa? ”
I fought back my tears and sniffed heavily.
“I don’t want it, I have more than enough already ” I told her walking into the house and pulling her in,side, Slamming the door and I made sure I locked it.
My mom was looking at me like I wasn’t okay, Of course, I’m not okay.
“Tesa, That’s the new doll we got… ”
I interruptted her..
“Yes, I know. Please don’t bring it back in,side, who ever needs a doll would pick it up” I said wiping away my tears.
She didn’t even ask why I was weeping. She thought I was still mo-ning over Hannah’s death.
Deep down my mind, I decided to throw away every dolls in my room.
Why have I gotten myself into this mess?
I started shedding tears and I tried very much to fight it back.
I pray it won’t return. I hope it would realise that I don’t want it and it should find it way to someone Else, I pity whoever picks up the doll.
I thought of Hannah and fresh tears began to pour down my cheeks. I don’t know why I’m blaming myself for her death, It… My fault, is it not? May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
But Thank God, Everything is Over now!
I Walked with wobble legs to my room, the sight of the rest of my dolls freaked me out a little but I remember Sheherazade said they aren’t like her unless she make them talk.. Creepy, she’s not here. Anyways.
I swept the dolls away from my bed to the floor as I lay flat on my bed, closing my eyes, trying to make my mind, rest-assured.
I felt something atop my legs, and I stormed up to see what it was..
I heaved a sigh of relief when I found out that it was only the piece of Bed- sheet that I mistakenly bumped my legs into, so shaked it off and it came off.
Then I lie down back.
After this wh0le thing that happened today, the best thing to have now is a good sleep and not a good cry.
I shut my eyes and tried to catch a sleep ~ a siesta.
All of a sudden, I felt a soft thing jumped on my Tommy.
Oh God, No…
I shut my eyes very tight.
“Guess who is here? ” The voice said.
God, Nooo….!
