Pocessed

She has it all . Love, family success and career. But what happens when an evil spirit enters her body and takes over her life?

OK, i am getting restless... i have been waiting for nearly an hour now, i look at my watch again.. 3 : 30 , and he said he will be here on time!! let him come. i will teach him a good lesson.
" princess!! " suddenly someone shouted into my ears. " don't do that!!, u startled me " " sorry baby " Jason smiled a sweet smile .
Jason is my boyfriend , six foot tall,straight hair and handsome. he is so my type. " why are you late? i have been sitting here for about a century, u know " i sigh
" sorry , i was about to leave, but mum made me go to the grocers to buy a couple of stuff " yeah right...
" OK, apology accepted, lets go then" i stood up and brushed my jeans legs to shake off the dirt .
we rode our bicycles down the hills and the narrow road, its so peaceful here ... with quite little houses and cool warm breezes. " so when are you going back to campus ? " Jason asked shifting gears.
" march , still have one more month to finish the semester "
i go to campus here, i am doing a degree in business , Jason has already done a masters in health sciences and now he is helping his dad in office works. " okay , i will wait for you... i cant wait for the day i am going to propose !! " " shut up!! "
i laugh. somewhat, i don't feel like getting married so soon... maybe after five years.. i don't know , i am still young,, i mean i am only 18 !! and Jason is well 23...
we cycled back to my home. it was getting dark . some rain clouds were beginning to appear in the clear blue sky
" Jason, you better get going..."
" okay , see you soon babe "
. none of us saw the red van speeding down the path.
"Jason!!!!" i screamed when i saw the horrifying sight ....
Jason was on the ground , blood was trickling down his shirt and head... his bike was bent like a pretzel. " o my gosh !! i am so sorry ... is he fine?? " the van driver asked climbing down from the van, it had a dent in the front ... he rushed to where Jason was and picked him up . " we have to get him to hospital, hurry "
we climbed into the van and sped off.
" doctor please, save my Jason , save him ." tears poured down my cheeks, " we will try our best, please calm down okay ?"
i waited for nearly about an hour outside the operation theater.
the van driver was also there, offering me a glass of water every now and then.
finally, the doctor came out .. he looked pretty serious.. and sad
" how is he? is he alright? " my heart started pounding.
" it is difficult to say anything right now... he inst gaining consciousness " " will he be alright, please i beg you .. please save him .. " i couldn't control myself... i was sad, angry and hurt .. all at the same time . " please calm down, i promise , i will do my best to save your Jason " the doctor patted my shoulder lightly and forced a half smile. somehow i didn't feel relaxed.
" i am sorry dear.. this is all my fault.. i wasn't watching the road properly and the braked failed... " he driver began apologizing,
" lets hope for the best " was all i could say .
i looked out of the window. it had started raining.. i was crying. the sky was crying with me... suddenly i felt empty.. i felt like i was all alone in the world.... little did i know that these feelings were going to take over me....
i walked home silently in the pouring rain, i couldn't stay in the hospital for long, mum would be worried about me and the van driver had offered to stay back and check on Jason,
" where were you, i was worried sick about you.. " mum said as she opened the door. " just been riding our bikes, Jason insisted we go up to his place " i lied. i didn't want her to find out about the accident.
" alright, go change and come down for dinner "
i ran upstairs and collapsed on the bed. this is so unfair !! everything was going so wrong..
" can i come in? " mum was standing in my doorway.
" sure"
i sat on my bed and wiped my tears.
" there was a call from the hospital just now... they said Jason is fine.. nothing to worry about.. "
" thanks god "
i was having my dinner when Jason's parents came. " Mary, we have something to tell you " Jason's mum spoke. mum looked up from the kitchen sink. " why don't we sit and talk "
everyone sat on in the living room . i looked at their eyes, no emotion at all, i forced a smile.
" we are moving to the U S , Jason's dad got a job there "
" that's great!! "
" so if Eileen wants she can come with us.. but she has to marry Jason for that .. wont she ? "
everyone looked at me. i didn't know what to say. Jason hadn't told me about this... why ???
"um ,, i have to think about it "
" come on , whats there to think about?? you two have been dating two years... i think this is a right decision " mum smiled at me , she encouraged me in everything good i ever did
" i don't know... i have to speak to Jason about this .."
" i am sure he will agree.. he loves you dear .. he wants to marry you " Jason's mum spoke.
" alright , think about it okay ? but we move tomorrow ... so u better think fast ... i am sure u want me to be your father in law .. ?? " Jason's dad laughed.
they got up and left . " dear, i think you should go... and you want to marry Jason .. don't you?
" i do ... its just that i... " i couldn't speak up... .
something was terrifying me inside.. but what ?? why do i feel like i am not in control of my life?
i couldn't sleep that night, millions of questions were running through my mind... my mind was telling me i should not do it but my heart said something else.. i couldn't decide ...
it was raining outside. the rain pattered against the window. a soft wind blew across the lawns and the pathway. i was shivering though i had my blanket on. suddenly the light flickered in my room, it went off and again went on... maybe it was dying out.. better get that bulb changed..
i was getting thirsty by now.. mum and dad were sound asleep in their room.. i put on my slippers and coat , stepped out of my room into the hallway.
the stairs were polished like glass. mum liked to keep things swept clean enough to see your face through it, i took two steps at a time and finally reached the dining table.
pouring half water in to a glass, just as i was about to take a sip, my hand jerked away from my mouth. i tried to take a sip but my hand wouldn't move... as if they were controlling themselves... again i tried .. and again ,,, but my hand stayed still... and suddenly with a loud crash i dropped the glass .. water spilled across the floor... the glass broke ... " Eileen , why did you do that ?? what are you doing up in the middle of the night?? " mum came running down the stairs . " i came down to have water... i don't know how... "
" go to your room and get some sleep "
" but mum i... "
" do you have a fever dear ? "
she touched my forehead, " no i am fine really... "
" just go get some sleep okay?
she picked up the broken glass and tossed it to the bin...
i went to my room an climbed into bed...
i tried to pull up the covers over me.. but my hand refused to move... my fingers curled themselves into tight balls clenching my hands...
what was happening to me....
i didn't know how long i slept until i heard mums voice yelling at me...
yelling madly,,, EILEEN , WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!
we sat in the dark hallway for what seemed like about an hour. mum checked her watch for the fifth time. " there is nothing wrong with me .. really " i tried to convince her. " everything will be okay... don't worry ... u will be fine " she didn't buy my words. " but i am fine !! "
i screamed. i had wanted to scream for a really long time now... i had wanted to scream when mum announced that she was taking me to the doctor. i hated doctors , as much as i hated hospitals.. they made me sick..
finally, my turn came up. "relax, this wont take long. " mum squeezed my hand. she thought i was a baby or something...

" whats wrong with her ? " the doctor smiled a sweet smile. he was an old man with a balding head and a busy mustache. i was beginning to hate him already.
" umm... she is acting strange.. and she says she cant control her actions.." mum bit her lips.
" what sort of things has she been doing lately ? "
" I CUT MY HANDS WITH A SCISSOR !!! "
i screamed !! i was surprised by my voice, more of a growl... an angry scream which burst from my chest.
" dear , calm down.. its okay... "
"NO ITS NOT OKAY.... I WILL DESTROY HER... I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU... "
mum began to cry , a cry for help...
" CRYING WONT HELP YOU... ANY OF YOU..."
"what are you saying dear... " she sobbed .
suddenly i stood up from the chair and unrevealed my wounds... sure enough i have cut my hands... what was happening to me
???
I was slowly going insane. I didn't understand anything that was happening. I wanted to hug my mum and tell her that everything was going to be fine .

That night I stared into my bathroom mirror for what seemed like an eternity. I noticed that I looked kind of pale and I was getting thin, it was like I was malnutrished or something. Suddenly my reflection smirked at me. My heart thumped inside my chest.
" Don't be surprised , I am here to take over, it's time for you to go to sleep forever" my reflection shouted in a blood curdling scream.
I took a step back and stumbled against the bathtub. I gripped the sink table top to keep myself steady. With a sudden jerk my reflection shot out her arms from the mirror and started choking me.
Thrashing wildly, I gasped for air as she titghted her hands around my neck. "Good bye , sleep tight" that was all I heard before I passed out on the floor.

Jason's parents came when we were having breakfast in the morning.
I told everyone that I had made up my mind to go with them and I that I have decided to marry Jason. " Great, he will join us when he gets discharged" mum said smiling

The flight was about two hours and thirty minutes. I listened to some music to kill the time.
We landed at the airport and made our way to the crowded luggage claim area.

That night I stared into my reflection and smirked. " Jason, you are mine now"
I watched in amazement as the trapped Eileen in the mirror opened her mouth in a blood curdling scream.
