I'm still here

Chapter 14

I was shocked.
What did she just say?
"Tell me Hadley who all are back?", I asked.
"Everyone.", she said.

"My mom, Dad, Sarah, John, Katie."

I wanted to ask her why wasn't Riley here.
Only he was left anyway, he could have come here as well.
I called for Tara and the entire ghost family was there.

"You hate your Dad, don't you? Why would you let him come into this house?", I asked.

"You called him Lisa.", she said.

"He wouldn't let you touch Arthur.", I said with a hint of confidence in my tone.

"Bring him here and we'll see that", she replied.

I know I had made a huge mistake.
But it couldn't be mended now.

I just went outside and sat in the Verandah.
"Arthur I need you. I'm sure nothing's gonna happen. All that I want is my dad to believe that Wendy is still here.", I said in a low voice.

And there he was. Standing in front of me.
"Thank you", I said.

"Lisa. Who are you talking to?", I heard my Dad's voice.
"Dad, it's Arthur", I said.
Dad welcomed him with a smile.

"Hadley look who is here.", I shouted from the living room.
She came out within a second.
The look on her face was something I can never forget.
Her cheeks turned deep red and eyes pitch black.

"Hadley, what's wrong?", Dad asked.

¿Tienes el valor de venir aquí? Vas a ser mi esclava para siempre Arthur.
(You had the nerve to come here? You're gonna be my slave forever Arthur)

Dad was horrified.
By this time Granny and Grandpa were there too.

"Hadley, what are you saying?", Grandpa asked.

"Just stay out of this Henry", Hadley screamed.

She ran towards Arthur.
I had no clue what she was upto.
Arthur was already dead. She definitely couldn't do any good by pouncing upon him.

But I knew I had to save Arthur.
Before Hadley could touch hin, I caught hold of her and put the Holy Cross on her forehead.

I was already prepared.
She screamed hysterically and I needed Dad and Grandpa to hold her still.
Arthur was gone by then.
I couldn't thank him enough for his help.

Hadley fainted and she was put to her bed.
Dad was sitting on the sofa, completely confused.
That's when I brought the adoption papers and the photographs into his notice.

"What the hell? This isn't possible", he said.
"Dad. That's the truth. Arthur is not alive and Wendy is still here.
Amelia is still here.", I said.

"Enough of bullshit. Molly where are you?", Dad screamed.

What happened next was truly frightening.
Mom was coming down the stairs, but she wasn't walking.

She was coming down the stairs doing a spider walk.
Her face was covered in blood.

*couldn't post the gif. But this is what I meant by spider walk*
