"Why that expression?"she asked looking at
me. "It's nothing. So you mean you're Suzy
Mick? Then who's Stella?"I asked. "I can
remember my name is Stella. I wonder why am
called that name"she replied. "Really? So what
do we do now? Your body was not found.
Should we go back to the river we need to find
out about some things. We could get some
clues when we get to the spot. Your memories
might come back?"I asked looking at her. "I
think I should tell Debbie about me. I mean I
should reveal it to her that am a ghost
possessing a human body"she said. "What!....
You can't do that now. Remember you can't
trust anybody now. Don't tell her anything
until your body was found. We are not sure of
what really happened to you. If you tell anyone
now, you might lose the chance to find the
secret behind your death and you might vanish
from this earth forever. So please apart from
me, you, and this girl you're possessing her
body. Don't tell anybody you're a ghost or the
late Suzy mick. Do you get it?"I said looking at
her. She nodded her head in response.

The following day...
Stella's POV
I sat in the practice room viewing some
pictures on Jenny's phone.
"Wow she's so pretty"I said as I scrolled down
her gallery. I saw some of my pics there. Some
were snapped on stage while some were like
model pics. All the pics are beautiful. I wore
different fashion of clothes, shoes and bags.
The pics were so much on her gallery. "Wow.
She's really a fan of Suzy Mick. So am this
popular"I said swiping the screen for more
pics.
"Let's start everybody."a loud voice
interrupted. I looked up and saw the
choreographer. It was another lady not Debbie.
It was the lady that sent Jenny out the other
day. I felt so bad I won't see Debbie today. I
stood up and dropped the phone in my bag
then join the crew.
"Are you guys ready? We have only today to
practice. You guys are performing tomorrow.
You guys have to win this time around. Pink
angels can't win over you this time. You guys
know the reward you're receiving if you win
this performance?."the choreographer said
looking at us. "Yes ma'am"they all chorused
except me.
We began the practice after the choreographer
warned me not to delay them with my poor
performance. Since I already saw how they
practiced the other day, I was able to follow
the moves.
After the practice, I noticed many of them were
gossiping to each other looking at me. I
wonder what they were talking about.
"Jenny. You really surprised me with your
performance today. Keep it up dear"the
choreographer said smiling.
"Am very happy for your performances. You
guys did a great job especially Jenny. I hope
you could perform more better than this on
stage."she added. After some minutes the
choreographer prepared to leave the practice
room. I quickly went to her before she could
move out. "Miss!"I called going after her. She
stopped and looked at my direction. I walked
up to her and asked her about Debbie. "She's
too busy to come here today. Hope nothing is
the problem?"she asked looking at me. "Not at
all. I just asked after her. Can you give me her
contact?"I requested and she gave it to me.
When I was about leaving, she stopped me.
"Jenny, you've changed a lot. Both your
character and your performance. I remembered
you hardly talk to anyone here. This is the first
time you'll talk to me ever since you joined
this group. Am so happy for the new
changes."she said looking at me. I was so
surprised by what she said. I don't know this
is the kind of person Jenny is. No wonder
those girls easily picked on her. "Bye. Work
harder OK?"she said and left. I looked at the
number she gave me smiling to myself. "Good
thing I would be able to talk with her today."I
said walking back to where I left my bag.
I bent down to pick up the bag but my body
reacted somehow. I stood up straight to feel
better. I moved forward a bit to pick it up but I
was out of Jenny's body. I stood behind her
while she was standing before me. She looked
around and saw me behind her. She was about
asking what happened to her before some girls
came to her. "Hey Jenny. You did pretty well.
Thumb up to you"the first girl said raising her
thumb up. "You really surprised me with
that"another one said smiling. They both left
and the three mean girls came to her. "You've
really changed a lot in few days. I hope you
could perform like this on stage."a girl said
looking at her. "I think she practice for the
whole night and days. That's so bad for your
health dear. You need to take it easy"another
one said. The three of them left her and went
out.
Jenny looked back at me in confusion. "What's
really happening? Am lost here"she said
looking at me.

John's POV
It's 6:05pm
I was preparing to leave the office. I picked my
suit and car key then headed out of my office
locking it. I walked down towards the
elevators. When I got there, I opened the first
one and saw it was only Cassandra inside. I
first thought of taking the next one but I need
to meet up with Debbie before it's late. I
walked it and the elevator closed. I stood
beside her not saying a word or saying hy to
her. After a long silence, she finally spoke to
me"Mr john. Please I have something to tell
you"she said. The elevator stopped and I was
about to move out. "Am sorry. That'll be later.
I need to get to somewhere right now"I said
and moved out of the elevator.
:
I was about getting into my car when I saw
Debbie getting out of her car. I closer the car
door and walked up to her. "Miss Debbie"I
called when I got to her. "I was about calling
your line. I thought we're going out today."I
said looking at her. "Yes. I remembered. I just
came to drop something. Am free for now. So
can we go now?"she said smiling. "Oh yes.
Let's go in my car"I replied leading her
towards my car.

Stephen's POV
I was leaving for home, I remembered Debbie
promised to meet with me today since she
was not able to make it yesterday. I was very
happy we could talk better today after a long
time. But when I got to the compound, I saw
Johnny leading her to his car. He opened it
and she went in. He also turned to sit on the
driver's seat. I was so surprised by this my
body started boiling in anger. Just then
Cassandra walked to me. John's car drove out
of the compound. I held my fist so tight that
the spirit in me started to become
uncontrollable. Dark flames were escaping my
body. Sandra got to me and was about saying
something, I grabbed her by her neck and I
could see how she's begging for mercy and
trying to get away from me. "Calm down
please. You can't do this to me also. You have
to control yourself"she said in a weak tone but
the evil spirit in me has taken over my whole
body completely. I tried to control myself and
finally I was able to released her. she fell to
the ground gasping for air. I regained my
myself back. I looked at my hands then looked
back at Sandra who was trying to get up.
That's how it came to me whenever am angry
or have bad intention towards someone. A
spirit would take over my body and be in
control. It's not an ordinary spirit but a
powerful evil spirit. It started ever since I was
18years old. That was 5 years age. Do I regret
it after the spirit take over me? No. Because I
voluntarily gave myself to it.
SHE'S A GHOST!
Episode 17
Cassandra managed to stand up. "I need to go
home"she said not looking at me. I moved
closer to her and lifted her chin up gently with
my hand. "Don't be mad at me. That was a
mistake. You know I love you huh"I said
looking at her. She nodded her head and
moved her face from my hand. "I know. So
please can I go and treat myself at home? My
neck is burning"she said. She picked up her
hand bag from the ground and left before I
could say anything. I watched her leave until
she got into her car and zoomed out. I wiped
my face down in frustration. "John. You're
stepping on my toes. If you're the one to take
what are meant for me, I'll rather clear you out
of my way finally" I thought to myself.
:
John's POV
Debbie and I sat opposite to each other at the
bar. I ordered for some refreshments and BBQ.
After eating, we talk about lot of things. It was
then I remembered what Stella told me about
her so I asked her some questions. "I want to
ask If you know anyone named Stella."I said
looking at her. She was quiet for a while before
replying me. "Stella? I have lot of friends
named Stella so I don't know which one you're
asking of"she replied. "Oh really? OK what of
Suzy Mick?"I asked. She looked at me
strangely on hearing that. "Why are you asking
these questions?"she asked looking at me.
"Because am her fan. I heard you guys were
so close when she was alive."I said.
She sighed"yes we were. Her name is Michael
Stella and her stage name is Suzy Mick. It's
true she's a close friend of mine. So bad death
took her away so early."She said looking sad.
"Sorry for reminding you of the painful
memory. She was also my female idol. Apart
from that, she's a friend of mine too. Her
death was so painful. Since you're her best
friend, you might know a lot about her"I said.
"Yes I do. But why are you so interested about
her?"she asked looking at me. "Like I said
earlier, she was my friend also. But her death
was strange to me. Don't you want to know
the reason behind her death?"I asked looking
at her.
"Since we're on the same boat, let's work
together and reveal the mystery behind her
death"I added.
"Good to hear that. Am doing it already. I
know the person that kill her but the game is
not easy to play with that kind of person"she
said.

Stella's POV
It's 7:00pm, Jenny had packed her stuffs and
ready to go home, we both left the company
walking beside each other. I already told her
about everything that happened right from
when I possessed her body till this present
day. She was so surprised after I told her
everything. "I never knew that could be
possible. I thought it won't work but it
does."she said looking at me. "Me too. After I
did it, I tried going out but It does not work
out. Am so sorry for that"I said. "You don't
need to be. You just helped me not offend me.
I was surprised when those mean girls were
praising me. I will be happy if that
continues"she said smiling. "That's so good
but that can't go forever. The best thing is to
work for yourself."I said looking at her.
"Hmm. That's true but I just want to impress
everyone with my performance. I want to
impress my mum especially."she said.
"OK. We'll find a perfect solution to that"I
said. "Thanks."she replied looking at me. When
we got to the compound, I saw the guy from
the other day. He was heading back to the
company. When he got to us, he stopped
looking at Jenny. I think he can't see me.
Jenny's expression changed after he stared at
us for a while, he said hy. And walked pass
us. When he left, Jenny turned back still
staring at him. I tapped her shoulder and she
turned back to me. "Why are you like this?
What's wrong?"I asked her. She took a step
forward then started walking slowly ahead of
me. I walked up to her and we continue
walking towards the gate. "Why are you acting
strange? Why that expression all of a
sudden"That guy...that guy is strange"she said
looking at me. "Why do you say that?"I asked
looking confused. "I could see an evil spirit
inside him. That guy is not an ordinary human
being. And again his.....his thought
said..."she stopped when we heard some
foot steps behind us. We both turned back
gently to see the person. To my surprise, it
was the guy. Jenny moved closer to me I
could see she's trembling in fear as he got
closer.
