Chapter Eight

Lara told me we were doing the assignment in their library, Lara's house was very large, it had a lot of rooms, rather too much room for just three people. As we headed towards our destination, I didn’t hear her footsteps, as if she was floating. I stopped in front of a door that had a something written on it. The word "Library" was written on the door.

I quickly went inside, the library was huge there where different shelves that had multiple books on it, the shelves had reach the ceiling,. There a ladder so one can easily access books that were up the shelve. A two wooden chair, and a table was kept by the side, the walls were painted in caramel while the floors were white, the room was air conditioned. There was a large television that was hanged by the right side and a small chair in front with a blue carpet and the lights were dim I loved the way the library looked. I took a sit waiting for Lara to come so we can get this over with.
Doing the project with Lara was hell. She kept glaring at me while sitting across the room, telling me not to get close to her. She didn't want to contribute any thing to the project, she said notting to me, She just stared at me which was creepy.
I was happy when Megan arrived and announced that Lunch was ready. At first, I wasn’t hungry, but Megan insisted. I headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Their bathroom was beautiful, with the air conditioner blowing a gentle breeze. A television attached itself at the corner of the wall. A beautiful mandala carpet laid on the ground, a Jacuzzi that could fit over six people the walls were painted blue matching the rest of the room, the doors were brown, There was a large window by the side of the jacuzzi, you could see the garden from here.
I was washing my face when something from the news caught my attention, something about Megan. I couldn’t hear what the reporters were saying and the remote wasn't there. I decided to look for the remote, the remote was kept in one of the cupboards. I quickly used it and increased the volume.
“Breaking news, police have identified the victim who died two days ago. They found the body of Megan Knight, she was a babysitter, she had babysitter a lot of children in the neighborhood. Megan was said to be missing two days ago when she went on a baby sitting service, no one knows who she went to baby sit? Or what happened to her?" The reporter said.
I froze. How was this possible? Megan died two days ago? I just saw her. Despite the air conditioner, sweat leaked from my pores, glistening my forehead, but I just saw her, how can she be dead? I was lost in my thoughts when a knock on the door brought me back to reality.
“Isabelle, it’s me, Megan. Lunch is ready.” I heard her voice, a soft voice.
“I’m…I’m coming,” I said. Quickly, I whispered a silent prayer before leaving the bathroom. As I arrived at the dining room, Megan and Lara were waiting for me, They both looked at me when I stepped into the dining room.
"What will you like to have Isa?, I made different dishes even your favorite pancakes." Megan asked.
“I have to go, my mother is coming pick me. I’m not hungry.”
I was packing my bag when Megan grabbed my hand.
“You can’t go, you have to stay I won't let you go” she said in a low demonic voice, it almost sounded like a whisper but I heard her.
"What do you mean?." I asked, I quickly took my bag, I was heading from the door when Megan pinned me to the wall, wrapping her hands around my neck.
“You…you’re choking me.. let me go, please let me go.!” I tried to fight back, but Megan was too strong, she held a tight grip on my neck, she wasn't going to let me go.
"M...Megan... Stop...I can't breathe, s..Stop..I can't take it any more" I said. But she continued what she was doing? I couldn't breathe anymore, I felt as if life was leaving my body when a doorbell rang, which made Megan release me. I collapsed on the floor, coughing. I tried standing up so I could get a glass of water, I used the table as support to stand you. I glanced at Lara, she was laughing and smiling. Since she couldn’t come close to me, she used Megan to get to me.
Why couldn’t Lara come close to me? How is Megan here when she is already dead? Lara’s parents came into the room while I was drinking some water.
“Who is this?” Lara’s mom asked.
“She is my friend, mommy,” Lara replied.
"Alright, what's her name." Lara's mother asked.
"Isabell." Lara replied.
"Isabell, please join us for lunch" Lara's mother said.
"I really appreciate but no thank you ma'am."
Lara's mother convinced me to stay for lunch. As we ate, her father arose from her chair to make an announcement.
“Lara,” he said, “we have good news for you. Your mother is pregnant. You will have a sibling, you will have someone to play with.”
“Congrats, mommy,” Lara said. On the outside, she seemed happy, but on the inside, she was furious as if she could kill someone, she looked so angry, she kept tapping her feet on the floor
Dinner went well, though Lara kept glaring at me. Thankfully, my mom arrived to pick me up.
