It was an early spring. The first rays of the sun tried to penetrate the tinted windows of a car, but it was a failure. Suddenly, the car stopped in front of an old cottage. From the first sight, it was an ordinary cottage with a small garden and pretty porch swing. But if you look at this house carefully, you can feel something mystic that comes from the shingle roof, French windows and dark walls. Jason got out of the car and had a deep breath.
What fresh air is there! - exclaimed Jason - Come on, Lucy, we have a lot of things to do.
Oh yes, I’m coming. - answered Lucy, Jason’s wife. - Give me a second.
Okay, I’ll be waiting for you in the garden. - said Jason and opened an old gate with a beautiful forging. - How beautiful is it, but a little bit condemned. Lucy, are you fine? - asked Jason. He was worried, because his lovely wife was pregnant and she was afraid that something wrong could happen.
I‘m coming! - cried Lucy and came to Jason.
They were a very cute couple that loved and supported each other. He had a small business in London, but as he was worried about his wife, he decided to stop his business and moved to a small village in Scotland. Lucy was happy, because she was born in the village in the outskirts of Wales and she didn’t like cities.
So let’s go into our new house, honey! - Jason hugged Lucy and they went into this strange place.
It was a two-storey house, which was built in Barock style. It had 3 bedrooms, 1 spacious kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 1 cabinet and a big living room with an old fireplace.
Oh Jason, It is a house of my dreams, especially the living room with the fireplace. In the evening, we can sit together on the sofa and tell different stories. Lucy was in ecstasy.
I know you will like this house. - Jason looked into Lucy’s eyes and suddenly kissed her.
Jason, don’t behave like a little boy, we should bring boxes with clothes and books. - Lucy said and laughed because Jason stuck out his tongue.
Together, they brought their things and even put them away in different rooms. Then they decided to go to the supermarket and buy some food for several days. They found a small store near their house. As Lucy was a great chef, she chose all the products, whereas Jason talked to the salesman.
Where are you from? - asked the salesman.
We’re from London, but decided to move to your village. Now, we live at Churchill St, 223. - answered Jason with a bright smile.
223? You should be careful. This house has a lot of scary stories. Anyone who lived there endured for a year and then they ran away. - said the salesman with anxiety.
Don’t worry, I think we can deal with this “scary” house - said Lucy with a smile. She went to the salesman and gave him money.
They came back, Lucy went to the kitchen and started cooking and Jason decided to explore their house carefully. However, he didn’t find anything strange, so he went to the kitchen to help Lucy. But he was late, Lucy had already served the table with a different meal. They had supper and went to the living room.
-What do you think about this house? If this rumors are true, maybe we should move to another one? - asked Lucy with awareness
-Don’t be silly, honey! It’s just rumors! - said Jason with a smile. - it’s a good place for our lovely son!
-Ouch, he has just kicked me! - said Lucy, stroking her big stomach.
- I think he will be a football player, maybe like Beckham. - said Jason, closing his eyes.
-Words, words, words! I think the most important thing for him is to be healthy and loved. So, let’s go to bed, I’m really tired. - said Lucy, yawning.
- You are right, honey, we had a difficult day today.
The night was queerly silent and very stuffy. Wind blew very slowly. It seemed that this night was the hottest day of summer in whole Great Britain. On the second floor, in the farthest room slept a sweet couple of lovers. However, due to heat, Jason couldn’t sleep, so he woke up with a strange grinding. He looked around, but everything was okay. He looked at his wife and decided to go to drink a cup of tea.
As he went downstairs he saw a strange figure staring at him from the corner. It was a figure of a beautiful woman, who was dressed in white dress. He rubbed his eyes, as he thought it was a delusion, but he was wrong. The figure went to him and said “YOU WILL BE MINE” and then she kissed him. Her lips were hot, so Jason had goosebumps. He closed and opened his eyes, but the figure disappeared. But the kiss on his lips left a strong print. Jason decided to return to bed. When he laid down he looked at his wife again. Suddenly, he realized that he didn’t love her. She gained a lot of weight due to her pregnancy, she didn’t use cosmetics and always talked to him like his mother.
He had doubts, but then he took a pillow and started suppressing the person, who he has loved for many years. Lucy woke up with fear and started screaming, but no one could listen to her. Her lovely husband tried to kill her. His eyes were bloodshot. When Lucy made her last breath, he saw the figure of his new love. She held a knife which she stroke into his heart.
Only a week later villagers found out two bodies of a man and a woman. They buried them together in a village cemetery.
And the ghost of a beautiful woman still waits for a new victim.
