Dad's Little Girl

CHAPTER - 1 

RUNAWAY

It was 5:00 in the evening and Mr. Tyler's house was surrounded by policemen. I and my friends were curious to know what had happened. So we all decided to go and check out what had happened. When we reached Mr.Tyler's house, we heard very substandard news that he had been murdered. We all felt very bad for him as he was a very good man. It was 7:30 pm, so we all decided to head back home. But I didn't want to do so. My stepdad neither showed me love nor Cared about me. He was an alcoholic. I lost my dad when I was 3-years old in a car accident. I was too small when I saw him, so I dont remember his face. There were no photos of him either. Soon after my dad passed away, my mom was engaged with this man. But after a few days, he started showing his true colors. He neither cared for me nor my mom. I and my mom couldn't bear him anymore, so we both decided to leave when he was not home. we packed our bags beforehand and left when he went out. We did not inform anyone in the colony that we were leaving. If we do so my step-dad would find us. We moved to another city. It wasn't hard for us to find a house. My mom was a well-educated lady, so we could easily find a house that was big enough for us. This city was pretty far from my previous house, so I and my mom were sure that my step-dad wouldn't find us. A week passed and we both were quite satisfied. The only thing I missed was my friends. But slowly I made new friends and buried my past memories. Slowly days passed. It was a pleasant afternoon and I heard my door-bell ring. I rushed to check who it was. It was my friend Emily. She was holding a bunch of invitation cards. "hey mia, today is my birthday, dont forget to attend the party at 6:00 pm" she said. I was really excited. It was 5:00 pm and I had barely enough time to get ready so I got dressed up as soon as possible and asked mom to bake some cookies. It was 5:50, I packed the cookies and decided to go by a walk to the party. Emily's house was 200m away from mine. It takes at least 10 mins to reach, so I started 10 mins early. I exactly reached Emily's house at 6:00 pm. It was flashy and gaudy. There were many kids at the party, so I got even more excited.

CHAPTER ­- 2 

OUIJA BOARD KNOCKS BACK

Some people were at the pool and some people were at the backyard. "hey Mia" greeted my friend Lara. I too greeted her. we both danced for a while and after a few hours, Emily came towards us and asked us whether we both wanted to mess with the ouija board. It was 9 pm, so everyone started leaving. But I decided to stay. I thought it was going to be fun. Emily, Lara, Jack, Sophia, Wyatt, Max, and I stayed back. That night there was no one else home except 7 of us. Previously my friends and I were messing around with an Ouija board one night. We had done it before and nothing remarkable had ever happened. We usually did it to try and scare each other. So, we thought nothing would happen this time too. We all sat around the board and Sophia said she wanted to try it as she had never done it before. This time was different. Long story short, the “spirit” claimed it was a man and he had died in an accident. We were all a little freaked out because the board had never been so detailed and consistent. However, we were still skeptical and we were all assuming one of us was trying to scare the rest. Finally, max asked if the spirit could do something to prove he was there with us. It went to Yes and then spelled out k-o-b-e. We all assumed it was the spirit's name. Then the planchette stopped moving. We all just stared at it silently. Suddenly we heard a big bang on the door, we all got petrified. But it was Emily's mom. It was 10:20 pm so we decided to get back to our homes. I was really shaken by that incident so I pleaded Emily's mom if she could accompany me till my house. she agreed and dropped me at my house. I did not tell what happened at the party to my mom because she always told me not to contact the "DEAD". It was 10:30 when I reached home. I was exhausted so I directly went to bed. It was 3:00 am and I screamed "MOM". She came running into my bedroom and asked what happened. It-it was an m-man covered with blood I stammered. I never stammered before but it was the first time I stammered. He was covered with blood but I couldn't see his face. His face was blue. He started chasing me and was yelling at me to 'stop'. But I didn't stop. I kept running but I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. My knee started bleeding and my ankle got twisted. I tried to get back and run but I couldn't do it. The man came closer and closer. I covered my eyes with my hands because I didn't wanted to see his horrifying face. He came close to me and said: " Hey my little girl, don't get panicked I won't hurt you.". After that, he gave me a knife and said: "Take this knife and kill your mom". The words he said gave me chills. I usually get nightmares but this was not to the normal one. 

CHAPTER - 3

THE SERIOUS STALKER

My mom gave me some hot water and asked me to go to bed. She said, " kids always get nightmares dear, don't think much about it". Though she assured me about that, I asked her to sleep with me that night. She slept beside me but I was not able to detach my thoughts about that dream and couldn't sleep that night. However, I completely lost sight of that dream after a few days. It was 5:00 in the morning and mom asked me to go and take a jog around the park so that I could get reinvigorated. I also thought I could get refreshed. I wore my tracks and started jogging. It was foggy and I could barely see things. While I was jogging, I heard some footsteps coming towards me. I turned back to see who it was. But I couldn't see anyone as it was foggy. I continued to jog and I heard the footsteps again. I didn't think about it much and I continued jogging. But suddenly I felt as if someone was following me. I stopped to check who it was. When I stopped the footsteps also stopped. That moment my heart dropped. The fog was slowly getting cleared and I saw a man who was 6' foot tall. He was just staring at me. He looked as if he was in his mid-30s and his clothes seemed dirty. I turned back and started walking as fast as possible but didn't run. The creepiest part was that he started following me. He suddenly stopped and started whispering something. He was 50m away from me. I stopped and looked back. He suddenly clamored " Hi I am your mom's friend. Your mom asked me to drop you at your house." He seemed a bit confused. I was paranoid to strangers so I said "no thanks sir "and continued to move forward. But he kept yelling at me to stop. I didn't know what to do, so I started sprinting. He started chasing me but he wasn't that fast. While running I hit my elbow to a pole on the street. I felt as if I broke a bone. But I didn't stop running until I reached home. However, I didn't see him when I reached home. I ran and hugged my mom. She seemed worried as she saw me crying. My hand started paining. I didn't know what was happening. I explained what happened to my mom. I tried to remain tranquil but I couldn't. I felt as if my whole hand was vibrating. I couldn't bear the pain but I managed to do so. My mom took me to the hospital and the doctor bandaged my hand and said that I broke my 'humerus' bone. She gave me some medicines and said that I would recover within 2weeks. My mom looked muddled and unhappy.
