The girl you didn't Notice

Chapter 42

I looked at Tara, waiting for her to say something.
"Okay. I'll try to communicate with the Waters couple", she said.
"Lisa. You need to come with me. Communicating with a spirit is not that easy unless it  approves of the same.", she said.

"They might talk to you in the same manner like Riley did, through your Dad.
You don't have to get scared and just ask whatever you want to.
I could have asked Father Edward to do the same but the spirits won't communicate with a priest. Are you ready?",she asked.

I nodded.
We went outside and sat beneath the Banyan tree.
"I'll be right back", she said and went inside the house.
A few minutes later she came out with a rope.
"What do you need a rope for? Is it...?", I didn't complete the sentence.

I just had a look at the rope.
Took me a second to realise that it was the rope on which people were hanged down the Banyan tree.
Not all of them definitely, but maybe one or two.

"This was kept in the attic", she said.
I didn't bother asking her how she knew about the same because I knew that she was good at her job.

She took the rope in her hands and sat beneath the tree with her eyes closed.
I closely observed her.
No expressions. Just a blank face.

She opened her eyes.
"You shouldn't have called me.", she said.
"Who are you?", I asked.
"Sarah Waters"
"Is there something you need help with?", I asked.

"I want to be free", she said.
"And how can I help you with that?", I asked.
"Get rid of the Cyrus family"

"You mean Wendy specially?", I asked.
"No all the three.
Richard Emily and Wendy.
Richard killed me and John. He wouldn't let us go from here.", she said.

"What should I do to help you?", I asked.
"Find their sources of energy. Like you have found mine. She said looking at the rope."

As much as I remember Tara told me that the Waters couple had their energy resided in the Banyan tree.
But I guess this wasn't the case.

"Okay. I'll try to do the same. Thank you!", I said.
I waited for Tara to speak something.
I mean not Sarah but Tara.

She stood up, put the rope around her neck.
I could see her feet rising above the floor.
"Hell. No", I screamed.
"Father please come here", I shouted while trying to pull Tara down.
