Tiffany and Nora realising that the misunderstanding was no longer a trivia issue decided to intervene.
Tiffany grabbed the angry Sophie while Nora pinned Doris, preventing them from exchanging blows.
They were aware that their group which is the envy of so many girls in the Kingdom will get disbanded if the girls get physical.
"Let go of me and let me teach that sly b*tch a lesson she would never forget," Sophie said trying to break free from Tiffany's hold.
"That's enough. Don't make me lose my cool because none of you will be able to handle me…," Tiffany paused talking when a figure in a white dress appeared at the back of the chair Doris and Nora sat on.
"Joanna!" Tiffany blurted out in shock. Her grip around Sophie's hands loosen.
"Joanna, where?" Nora asked. Together she and the other girls turned and looked in the direction Tiffany was staring at.
Surprisingly they didn't see anything, not even a shadow.
"Have you drunk so much that you have begun seeing things?" Sophie asked, sounding pissed.
"How could Joanna possibly be here when she is dead except…. It is her ghost," Doris jumped to her feet at the mention of the ghost.
The girls exchanged puzzled glances before they looked around the house.
Just to be very sure, they left the porch and went into the house to search for what Tiffany saw.
"When I saw the news that Laura and her mother went crazy after seeing a ghost, I thought those who wrote the article were bluffing…,"
"Could it be true that wretched girl's ghost exists?" Doris asked. She hugged her chest tightly as she looked around in fear.
"Did the ghost really come back to take revenge on us…,"
"My mum has always made me believe that ghosts don't exist. Besides she deserved to die so why would she come back to haunt…,"
"See it at your back," The three girls shouted freaking Tiffany out with their yells.
Tiffany screamed in horror the moment she turned and saw the scary-looking ghost standing behind her.
She took to her heels along with her three other friends.
"Didn't she just say ghosts don't exist so why is she running haha…," Joanna who was having fun tormenting the girls laughed hysterically.
"Let's see whether after today they will dare to say they don't believe in ghosts," Joanna's grin grew darker as she approached the direction the girls took.
In a room occupying three brown furniture, a big flat-screen plasma television, a centre table and some other decorations, four girls were seen trembling like wet leaves.
"Are… Are you sure that you locked the door properly?" Tiffany sitting on the couch asked with a trembling voice.
Doris was too scared to utter a word so she just nodded her head in response.
The stories of ghosts have always remained a legend since such things never occurred in real life so witnessing something which should have been a fairytale scared them out of their wits.
If it were a person who tried to attack them, they would have joined hands and beat the living daylights out of the person but who can compete with a ghost?
The girls were still shaking in fear when suddenly the yellow curtains started swaying.
"What the heck is going on here?" Nora hugged her hand to her chest when suddenly the ceiling fans started rolling on their own.
"Is this house haunted?" Sophie said as she stood up from where she was sitting and ran to a corner to hide.
She was standing close to the wall when suddenly she felt someone touch her.
With fear she slowly turned to see what it was and behold she saw a pale hand touch her neck.
The already scared Sophie freaked out even more. She ran and went to hug Tiffany where she was standing.
"Tiff, I am too scared to remain even a minute here so let's go," Nora, who couldn't handle the torment anymore, said.
The four girls held each other's hands tightly as they approached the exit. They unlocked the door only to realise that the door wouldn't open.
"Girls, don't tell me we are trapped in this place with a ghost?" Nora asked. There was a look of horror in her eyes as she moved backwards.
"So what if it has locked the door? I don't believe we won't be able to break the glass wall and get out of this creepy place," Tiffany found a little bit of confidence due to her survival instincts.
She has come this far to get killed by the mere ghost of a girl she murdered.
If she was able to get rid of her biggest obstacle she believes that she can also get rid of her annoying ghost.
"Let's get the glass wall," Tiffany ordered despite still being scared within.
They were almost about to reach the wall when suddenly the lights went off leaving them terrified to the bones.
Even without the lights, the room was already creepy not to mention now that the lights were off.
The creepy sound and laughter that filled the room made the girls go insane. Their shouts and screams could be heard even from miles away but too bad for them resident buildings were not sited close to the vacation villa.
And because of this none could come to their rescue.
The lights came on after leaving the girls in the dark for three minutes.
For the girls, the three minutes felt like they had been in the dark for three years.
The girls were still trying to catch their breath when the curtains started folding on their own.
Words written in blood started appearing on the glass wall, making them horrified more than they already were.
They hugged each other tightly as if they would die if they separated.
"You killed me. Now that I am back, I want your heads in return," They read the words on the wall with trembling lips.
Nora jumped to her feet after she read the words. "No… no...I can't die this way," Nora said with tears in her eyes.
"I am just 19 years old for crying out loud so how could I possibly die? I am too young to die. In fact, I refuse to die," Nora said, she ran like a crazy person and tried pushing the door open.
No matter how much strength she applied, the black wooden door refused to open. Even trying to break down the door was futile.
As if Joanna torturing the girls mentally wasn't enough, Bacon joined in the fun.
They were still running around trying to avoid the bird which will not spare their hair or flesh when suddenly the figure in white hung in the ceiling with her head descending on them.
Because of the fear, the girls fainted at the same time.
"Did they just faint?" Joanna asked with a frown as she glared at the girls laying on the floor.
"I had always thought they were the most hardhearted girls alive but I guess I was wrong. They can't even take a little scare, what a disappointment," Joanna said disappointedly.
"And here I had thought I would have fun torturing them throughout the entire night," Joanna added.
At that moment she felt the urge to stab them in the heart but she changed her mind when she thought about the consequences.
"What's the fun of killing them when I can make them pay the price of killing me for as long as I live," Joanna approached the door afterwards.
"Bacon, you can go ahead and do whatever you want with them. Since they have fainted I guess I will have to give my beloved stepmother and stepsister a scare tonight," Joanna said without taking a second glance at the fainted girls.
