Laura and Adhara bent at the same time and grabbed the couch when it felt like the mighty wind was gonna lift them off the floor.

"What the hell is going on here?" Laura cried out, sounding terrified.

"I haven't witnessed something like that before," Adhara replied as her grip around the couch tightened.

There was a thick darkness in the entire Anderson building for about five minutes. And afterwards, the lights came on making the once terrified mother and daughter duo very excited.

"Thank goodness the light has been…," Laura didn't get to finish her words before all the light bulbs including the chandeliers began shaking.

The shivering Laura hugged her hands to her chest as she remained in the same spot as instructed by her mother.

Everything going on was so confusing and terrifying at the same time that Adhara was lost about what to do.

"Bacon, it's your cue now. Go and do what you are best at," Joanna grinned evilly as she released the bird sitting on her left shoulder.

The bird flew away to show that he understood her commands.

Fear crept into Laura's heart when she saw a black bird flying in their room. She hurriedly went and hid behind her mother with her hand grabbing the elderly woman tightly.

"Mum, what is happening here? Has our house suddenly become haunted?" The terrified Laura asked.

She immediately squatted when the bird flew in her direction.

"I don't believe in ghosts or such superstitions," Adhara said despite feeling very scared and uneasy.

"Laura, go and check up on your little brother sleeping upstairs to make sure that he is alright," Adhara said, not letting go of the couch she was holding onto.

Laura refused to let go of her mother's clothes despite that she repeated the words twice.

Adhara forcefully pushed Laura's hands away from her clothes. "Do as I said and stop being a scared cat".

"I am scared Mum…," Just then a shadow in white ran past them making Laura scream in horror.

She jumped into Adhara's body, refusing to let go. "Mum, did you just see that?" Laura cried out in fear when the shadow in white circled them only to disappear immediately.

"Mum, there is a ghost in the house. Our house is haunted," Laura cried out in terror.

"Silly girl, come down from my body and go upstairs to make sure that your brother is not affected by all this," Adhara tapped Laura's butt but Laura refused to climb down from her body.

She had to use force to get Laura to release her at last. "Go on now," Adhara shouted angrily.

With trembling legs and body Laura took a step forward. Her eyes were everywhere as she took a second step.

On her third step, a figure in a white long flair dress appeared close to the foot of the stairs making Laura run back to where her mother stood.

The figure standing before them had long black hair that stopped at her waist.

"Who… who… who is that," Adhara's shaky voice gave her fears away.

"Stop playing pranks on us and show your face. Who knows I might be a bit merciful if you quit this nonsense," Adhara tried to act brave despite being scared to her wits.

The moment Adhara said these words the cold wind that had once settled down began blowing violently.

Things in the sitting room started falling to the floor. The chandeliers shook greatly, making Adhara and Laura scared that the one above their heads will fall on them.

As if the strong wind wasn't enough, creeping laughter filled the room, making Laura and Adhara cover their ears to block off the sound.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

The cold wind soon came along with sand, making Laura and Adhara cover their eyes with their hands.

When they felt that things had calmed down they opened their eyes slowly. They looked at the place the figure in white stood. They were so relieved to see that it was gone.

"It's gone finally. Gosh, that was terrifying," Laura heaved a sigh of relief as she turned to sit on the couch.

What she saw on turning around made her freeze to a spot.

"Ahhh….," Laura screamed immediately, taking to her heels.

"Ghost. There is a ghost here," Before Adhara knew what was going on Laura had already run out of the house through the front door.

Curious to know what was wrong, Adhara turned to face the couch only to see a terrifying Joanna with pale skin sitting on the couch.

Instead of water, blood dropped from her eyes as tears.

"You are dead. Ghost…," The horrified Adhara ran out of the house into the rain in the same manner Laura did.

"Haha….," A girl's laughter filled the entire sitting room.

"Wow! I never knew that a heartless woman like her knew fear. What a wonderful sight to behold," Joanna said amidst her creeping laughter.

"I never knew that playing a ghost like this could be so thrilling until now. I guess I have to keep up with this act until the day I decide to reveal myself," Joanna's words were accompanied by her evil laughter.

Joanna crossed her legs as she let her eyes examine the room which has become a mess all because of her.

"I am just getting started and they almost ran insane. I wonder whether my next targets will have the same look on their faces when I showed myself to them," Joanna said grinning devilishly.

"My killers have lived way too peacefully after murdering me but not anymore. Now that I, Joanna, the girl who rose from the dead, am back. I will make their life a living hell," Joanna muttered as her eyes turned shiny blue.

The instant she stared at the family photo hanging on the wall in which she was not included in it, the photo frame fell and shattered into pieces.

"Their peaceful days are now over," She mumbled as she stared out through the opened door.

The heavy wind ceased and even the electricity returned to normal. It was as if all of them were obeying her orders.

"Bacon, I never said you should stop. Go and continue with the torture. It will be even better if you can make sure they don't return here tonight," Joanna commanded the black bird that was perching on the centre table.

"I have missed my little rice ball a whole lot. As you know I can't watch him sleep the entire night if they return, so go and do it. But make sure not to kill them just yet. It won't be fun that way," Joanna said as she stood up from where she sat.

"Don't worry now that we are back here I will give you a lot of yummy food but just make sure to complete the task," Joanna said firmly.

She stared at the bird which was scratching his left feather with its mouth.

The bird flew away into the dark sky. Joanna walked majestically upstairs like she was the owner of the house.

"Now that I am back I am gonna make everyone pay. They created this demon here and so they must take full responsibility for it," Joanna's eyes turned shiny blue again, this change in her eye colour was accompanied by the door and windows of the entire house closing on their own.
