Chapter 3

School was fun today and I was lively in class also,atleast I was able to answer all the questions that was asked today,but something strange happened when I went to my locker to get my bag during lunch.

I opened my locker and saw something which seems to be like a tattoo and it disappeared almost immediately it appeared.I closed my locker with shock and I saw my grandfather standing with blood gushing out of his mouth calling me to come and join him where he was and the most scary thing happened when he started running towards me with full speed and he gave a loud shriek when he almost got to where I was.

I shouted and all the students ran out of the classroom to check what's going on,I kept on shouting pointing at where I saw my grandfather standing and I fainted.

I opened my eyes afterwards and saw myself in the hospital,one of the nurses was attending to me.

"Where's my mum and what am I doing here?".I asked the nurse.

"Oh....you're awake,you're brought in here by your teacher and some of your friends in school and your mum left here not quite long".She answered me.

My mum walked in few minutes later looking so stressed out.I think she must have been working herself out because of me.

"You can leave us alone now nurse".My mum said watching the nurse as she left my ward.

"Mum I saw him,I'm not lying I saw him".I said trying to make her believe me.

"Calm down Sarah,tell me who did you see".My mum asked.

"Grandfather I saw grandfather mum,he looked like one of those zombies in the movie".I answered her but it seems like she didn't believe me.

"You really need to get some rest,you need it".My mum said trying to lay me down on the bed.

"You don't believe me right?".I asked looking into her eyes.

"Of course I believe you Sarah,just have some sleep and everything will be alright".My mum replied.

Blake walked out of the ward wondering what has come over her daughter,she's been acting strange since the last two months now.She always scream while sleeping and now she's seeing ghost.

She went to her boss office to inform him she'll be taking her daughter with her when she's leaving.

"I don't think that's right Blake,she needs medical attention".My boss said.

"Medical attention?.She's not sick.She's just hallucinating that's all and I'm sure she'll get over it with time".I replied him.

"Why not get a psychologist for her then,I think she needs one urgently or better still take her to a psychiatric hospital".My boss said and I felt embarrassed.

"Thank you for your advice sir,but my daughter is alright and she does not need any psychologist attention".I answered him and walked out of his office angrily.

I know my boss is telling me the truth but I can't take my daughter to a psychiatric hospital and abandon her there,I can't bear it.I drove into the compound and Sarah alighted from the car,she entered the house and heads straight to her room without talking to anyone.

"How's she doing now?".Richard who is my husband asked.

"I think she's fine for now,but I think she really needs help".I answered looking sad.

"Don't worry Blake she'll be alright".Richard said hugging me tight.

               *                      *                      *

I entered my room angrily and slammed the door behind me.I don't know why everyone did not believe me.They thought I'm going crazy.

"Why is grandfather doing this to me,he claimed he loved me when he was alive,is this the kind of love he meant?".I mumbled to myself.

I lie down on my bed but was unable to sleep because I'm scared I might have another nightmare and see his face again,I heard a knock on my door but ignored it at first.I later went to open the door when I heard my father's voice begging me to open the door.

"Are you ok?,you look disturbed".My Dad asked.

"I'm alright Dad I just want to be alone".I replied.

"You know you can talk to me about anything.I'm your dad and I love you".My Dad said making me smile,he really knows how to get to me.

"Even if I disclose what's wrong with me to you dad,will you believe me?,because even mum did not believe what I've been saying".I replied with a sad expression.

"Everything will be fine Sarah,I promise".My Dad said hugging me.

Richard as I normally call him is one of the best dad in the world,despite being a cop he still perform his role as a father,he knows how to make his kids happy whenever he notice any strange feelings or he discovers we are sad.

The three aliens now in human body alighted from the old man's car and started walking towards the city.

"Hey man,you've not pay me".The old man said.

The three aliens stopped and stared at the old man for a while.One of the aliens dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the wallet which belong to the man he stole the body from,he counted some money and gave it to the old man.

"Thank you boy.Seems you're new in the city,be careful and stay out of trouble".The old man said before driving off.

"What an old fool".One of the aliens said before walking away.

The aliens stopped in front of a small apartment located at the outskirt of the city.They immediately changed to their normal self and started running towards the apartment.

They badged into the house and searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone in the house.

"Hey......are you looking for someone?".A man dressed in black with a hood on asked.

The aliens having seen him roared and charged at him in full rage,the man stood still observing the aliens as they ran towards him ready to tear him apart.

The man removed his sword and stabbed the first alien,he shot the second alien with an arrow and the remaining one was killed afterwards.The man buried their bodies in the woods where no one can find them.
