Every time Irene went to her boyfriend’s apartment, she felt that someone was looking at her and that day, it was not an exception. As Irene came down the stairs from her lover’s apartment, the pointless fear overwhelmed her again. Just when she looked out, she saw a shadow. Suddenly, the lights turned on and she saw an old woman. She seemed a needy and good person.
-God, you scared me! -Irene exclaimed, with a loud but also weak voice.
-I am sorry girl. I didn’t want to. Now, I am feeling really bad for what I have done to you. Do you want to get in and relax for a while? -said the woman pointing at her house with her finger.
Irene was confused and scared, but without knowing why she got in.
-Take a seat, please. Do you want some tea? -asked the woman.
-Hum….yes, please -answered Irene.
The woman served the tea and suddenly,Irere fainted. After a while, Irene opened her eyes. She couldn’t move, she was tied to a chair.
-Oh, you have already woken up.What a joy.
-Why did you tie me up? -shouted Irene.
-Because I need you, honey -replied the old lady.
Irene was scared and she didn’t know what to say, but she wanted to be cognizant of what that human being was doing to her. Afterwards, she decided to ask.
-Do you need me? Why?
-I didn’t want to tell you but you are not as stupid as the other girls I had kidnapped before so I will tell you.
Irene was shocked. Did she hear well? Wasn’t she the only who was suffering that nightmare?
The woman went on. -The reason why you are here is because I need your body. My granddaughter was murdered in this apartment and I know her soul is within these walls.
-Do you need my body? What does it mean?’ -I asked.
The woman didn’t answer and Irene was desperate. Eventually, Irene found out what she wanted to do.
-Oh, now I understand -said Irene with disbelief’.
-What have you planned all this stuff for? To bring her back?
-Yes, that’s exactly why you are here -she said. Looking at your face, I know what you are thinking right now.
The old woman put her face in front of Irene’s face.
-I’m sure that you don’t want to believe me, but my girl is here now. She’s talking to me and begging me to take her back.
Out of the blue, she started to cry, but Irene didn’t feel any grief for her.
-You are insane! If you want to spend all your life talking to these walls, go ahead, but she is dead and none of your fantasies will change it. Now I’m the one who is begging you, please, let me go -Irene urged.
For a moment, Irene hoped the woman would let her go and they would forget all about it, but everything changed when she stopped being a sea of tears and became very angry. All of a sudden, she took a knife, cut Irene’s throat and started to stale her.
-I’ll find someone better -said the old while she was cleaning the blood that was on the floor.
When Irene was already dead, the woman took her to a room where she had the other dead girls’ bodies.
