Sarah Part 8

"What are you going to do with me, sir?" asked Sarah, her body shaking. I'm sure she was terrified at this time. I also felt fear inside me. I had a feeling that a terrible sight I would see before my eyes very soon. "Hmm, what shall I do with you? Because these are the seconds of your death, I have to answer them." Gary grinned viciously. In his eyes, there was not the slightest bit of pity or compassion for the woman who was none other than his mistress; besides, his child was currently in his lover's stomach. "Aren't you surprised, Sarah? This inn is always filled with visitors every day even though it is in a remote place like this area?" Sarah shook her head, accompanied by the sound of her sobbing. "That's because, for the sake of making this inn of mine lively, I joined a devil-worshipping sect. Thanks to them I get what I want, but in return, I have to give up a baby every year to be used as an offering." I covered my mouth with both hands. I really can't believe what I just heard. I do believe in the supernatural and ghosts because I can see them. However, I never would have thought that the devil-worshipping sect existed. Those who worship the devil to fulfill their ambitions, those who have lost their will to work hard to achieve their dreams. They are a group of low-minded people who believe in the devil's power more than the Creator's. I would never have believed in the existence of that sect if I had not heard it with my ears. "You are already seven months pregnant, that means I can give it as an offering," said Gary, again accompanied by a disgusting grin. "So, the reason you gave me a house, is not because you want this baby and will be held accountable for your actions?" "Hahaha, idiot! Of course not. I don't want to marry a lowly woman like you. You are just one of my employees with a pretty face so I can take advantage of it." I clenched my fists, holding back anger after hearing what Gary said. He is a horrible man. I'd love to beat him up if I could. But I realized I could do nothing in this world of memories. I can only silently witness an outrage soon occurring in this room. "You son of a bitch, I will never forgive you. I will exact revenge!!" Sarah shouted. She tried to free herself from the ropes that bound her, but her efforts were in vain because the ropes tied her so tightly. "Thomas, Jerry, quickly get the baby out. Make sure that damn woman dies too." "Yes, Sir!!" The two men I knew, Thomas and Jerry, answered in unison. "Aah!" screams of pain echoed through the room as Thomas and Jerry ripped open Sarah's stomach with a sharp knife, forcing the baby out of Sarah's stomach. I couldn't bear to see this terrible sight, so I closed my eyes as tightly as possible. However, even though I closed my eyes, I could still clearly hear the torture Sarah was receiving. There was a slashing sound as if they were dismembering Sarah's body. Sarah's scream, which had been deafening my ears, was no longer heard. "Buried her body in the toilet!" "Yes, sir." As soon as I opened my eyes, I again covered my mouth with my hand to hold back the nausea I felt at this time. As I thought, they mutilated Sarah's body. They put Sarah's body in a suitcase and then dismantled the toilet floor of this room. They buried the bag and resealed the floor in the toilet. Then, they left the room with the baby from Sarah's belly earlier. The baby must have been lifeless. I couldn't see it clearly because a white cloth covered it. Who knows where they will take the poor baby? I keep following them. They stopped before a door and entered the room beyond it. Suppose you see Gary's nameplate placed on the table. I presume this room is Gary's office. Gary walked towards a painting stuck on the wall. Then he tilted the image and, a second later, suddenly heard a strange sound from inside the room. Thomas and Jerry moved the cupboard next to the painting on display. Now I know why that strange sound was heard. The sound came from the wall that was blocked by the closet. The wall split in two and created a gap to climb through. They entered the gap, and so did I. I'm in a dark room lit only by a few torches on the wall. There is a massive statue at the front of this room. The statue's appearance was terrifying. It seemed that the devil statue was what they had been worshiping all this time. Gary placed the body of baby Sarah wrapped in cloth right in front of the figure. I can feel a chill inside this room that makes me shiver instantly. I ran out of this secret room. I want to return to my world soon but must figure out how to return. What I'm experiencing is very different from my previous experiences. Usually, when the ghosts have finished showing me their memories, I will immediately return to my world. But now, I don't know, I can't find my way back. I'm still stuck in Sarah's world of memories. But I didn't give up that easily. I ran around this inn, but no matter how far my feet went, I was still stuck in this world of memories. I started to feel tired. I sat on the floor, trying to find ways to escape this world of memories. Once again, I had to swallow the disappointment when none of the solutions I found. I started to fear and panic. Of the many adventures I've had in the world of ghost memories, this is the first time I've felt fear. I was afraid I would forever be stuck in this world of memories. I don't want to give up, but my tiredness makes me finally feel resigned to my fate. For a long time, I just sat in silence. Just as I was starting to give up waiting for the miracle that would bring me to my world, that voice was heard. "You remember our promise, don't you, Leslie? You promised to watch the meteor shower with me. Don't break your promise. I beg you to come back, I can't live without you. I beg you to wake up. You have to fight it, it's your body. Get rid of that ghost from your body. You're strong, Leslie. Remember you're alive and that ghost... she's dead. She was just a weak curious spirit. Come back to me, Leslie. I love you. I am here… I will always be waiting for you." Whose voice is it? I wondered to myself, who was the owner of that voice? I don't know why I can't remember. His voice sounded sad, and I could feel his sincerity. The voice spoke of a promise, but what promise was it? The owner of the singer says he loves me. Someone who loves me, who is he? It seemed that magic did exist because now that I was experiencing it, suddenly, several memories crossed my mind. A man's face, a man who shows his smile that makes my heart beat so fast. I know that man, no more precisely, I know that man very well. Sean, he is Sean, the man I love so much, and I would love to see him again. I don't know what happened to me so I could forget Sean. However, now I remember him and want to see him again no matter what. I got up from my seat, and the light appeared. A light that, in my previous experience, was a sign that I would soon return to my world. The light was so dazzling that I closed my eyes as tightly as possible. "Leslie! Leslie!" The voice was getting more precise. I slowly opened my eyes and was relieved when I saw Sean's face. He looks happy and hugs me tightly. "Leslie! Hey, are you all right?" I gasped and snapped out of my daydream. Sean's face looked worried for me. Sorry, Sean. I'm fine. I'm just remembering what happened to me." I tried to stand up because I was still in Sean's arms. However, I felt pain all over my body. I also felt that my body was frail. "Don't get up yet, you were possessed. Maybe you're still tired," Sean explained, which made my eyes perfectly successful. "I'm possessed," Sean answered with a nod. "Actually, what happened to you? Why are you possessed?" I ignored Sean's question and looked around me. I was shocked when I saw two people who were near me. They were unmistakably Angie and Leo. "Angie, Mr. Leo, why are you guys here?" "I called them." Sean tried to explain it to me. "Thank goodness you're back, Leslie. I'm so relieved. Darling, you must be happy to see Leslie back, right?" Leo asked Angie that, but Angie's attitude looked very strange. She just stood there silently with her head down. Within Angie's body, I could see a dark aura overpowering her. Angie, could it be her? "Honey, are you okay?" Leo held Angie's shoulder, and Angie slowly raised her head. Leo was startled to see Angie's pale face with pitch-black circles around her eyelids. "Angie is possessed," I said. "Impossible. Could the ghost that has possessed you now have possessed Angie?" Sean's voice sounded panicked. I felt the same way as him. "No, this can't be happening. The ghost must be removed from Angie's body immediately. The ghost can't hurt her. Angie, she's expecting a baby." Leo's words succeeded in making me cringe. Angie is expecting a baby. No, this isn't good. I have to get Sarah's ghost out of her body immediately.
