Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 315: Sarah Millers troubles...[2]

The answer Phoebe gave was not what anybody in the room expected to hear, even the ones that believed Sarah’s troubles were not pregnancy related did not think they would hear that there was a problem with her shadow.

The sun was shining brightly outside, through the open windows, it’s rays had made it into some parts of the house and where Sarah was sitting, a silhouette of her shadow was reflected on the tiled floor.

Some of the Miller’s and other relatives looked down at the floor around Sarah, gazing at the reflection of her head. One of Sarah’s cousin’s Amy, a three year old was the closest to the reflection.

Her mother grabbed her back with quickness as if the shadow would eat her child. As the child broke into a piercing cry, other relatives, the ones that felt uncomfortable the most backed away from Sarah as well.

Even Sarah was uncomfortable and scared of her shadow suddenly, she raised her feet from the ground and tucked them in the chair, as she moved around seeking for a comfortable position, her shadow also moved and in every direction it extended, people hopped away or screamed.

"Err..Ashley, I left food on the gas." One of the women said.

She scrambled out of the house in a hurry and some did the same, running away with one excuse or the other. They figured that they would hear about the details from those that stayed behind.

"Sis," Andre whispered, he pointed at his shadow. "Is it fine?"

"You are fine." Phoebe rolled her eyes.

He sighed in relief and took two steps back, he did not want the Sarah’s shadow coming for him.

"What..what is wrong with her shadow?" Ashley asked, trembling as she did so.

Old lady Mayfair had never seen Ashley Miller tremble, she was one of those fist first think later kind of people and she always dived head first into every situation.

Phoebe did not answer, she just walked towards the Sarah, she opened her bag and poured salt around the single sofa in which the girl was sitting.

When she was finished, Connie and Sylvester placed black candles in a circle around the girl, trapping both Sarah and her shadow within the circle.

"Don’t move." Phoebe told Sarah.

Sarah Miller’s eyes were red as a result of crying so often ever since she was picked by Phoebe and included in the fifteen. She had not gone to school ever since that day and her grandparents had insisted she switch off her phones and stay home.

They had not said it to her face but the unsaid message in their actions was essentially "stay home and don’t embarrass our family."

Even now, the available Miller elders were sitting the furthest away and peeking from a distance as if they didn’t want to catch an infection.

"How have you been feeling lately, in the last three months at least? Have there been any changes in your behavior and emotions?" Phoebe asked her.

Sarah looked up at her father and he nodded with a reassuring smile.

Sarah looked at her hands and then Phoebe, "I feel out of control, my body, it feels as if it’s not mine. I sometimes do things that I would not do normally."

"Like what?"

Sarah looked at her father and again he nodded.The girl looked at Phoebe and she bit her bottom lip again, scared to say what she had done.

"It’s okay sweetie, none of it is your fault." Phoebe coaxed her using her mommy voice.

Ashley Miller who was at the end of a very thin rope could not take it.

"She has been stealing things." she blurted out.

Collective outraged gasps went around the room at Ashley’s revelation, the older Miller’s all glared in Sarah’s direction, very displeased obviously.

"It’s worse than a teenage pregnancy." One of the older woman said.

"This is terrible, a thief in our manor, Oh...what will we do when people hear about it?" another person asked.

Ashley glared in their direction and every mouth that was mumbling quickly folded, nobody wanted to fall victim to her fists after all.

"Are you stupid or deaf?" Ashley loudly barked. "The shaman has just said that it’s not my Sarah’s fault, are you all so impatient that you cannot wait for an explanation before pointing fingers? If I hear one more word about reputation I will start breaking necks."

Brock Miller’s mother gasped, she put a hand on her chest and looked at her son, imploring him to do something about his wife.

He ignored his mother and squeezed his daughter’s shoulder, she was sobbing softly and his heart was breaking for her.

"It will all be okay." he told her.

"Tsk, tsk, some old people did not brush their teeth today." Andre loudly said.

When they glared at him, he looked at the wall and whistled pretentiously.

"What else?" Phoebe asked.

"There is more!" someone exclaimed.

Ashley answered in Sarah’s place. "Sarah told me that she has been finding things in one place after leaving them in another, especially at night. It’s as if someone sneaks into her room and deliberately moves things around.

She used to be popular at school, a cheer captain but suddenly other kids stopped talking to her gradually, treating her as if she was invisible. There was no rumor about her that caused it, no scandal, nothing that would explain the weird behavior.

It also happened her at home last week, she asked for breakfast and the maid just walked by her as there was nothing but air where Sarah was sitting. It was very disrespectful, I had to fire her.

Oh, three days ago, she started sleep walking, the police brought her home yesterday in the morning. I personally tucked her in to sleep in her bed but somehow she ended spending the night up on the lawn of the Gianis family with their dogs. One of then bit her on her left ankle, they are lucky that I have not broken its neck." she sneered and punched the nearest chair. "Show them the bite mark Sarah."

The girl stretched her foot out, Phoebe noticed that her shadow was also stretching, moving while Sarah’s upper body remained still.

If she stretched her leg out, it would go beyond the protective circle, something that the shadow was looking to take advantage of.

Those that had been keeping an eye on Sarah’s shadow noticed what Phoebe saw and once again, there were gasps in the room.

"It moved, sis, it really moved, I have seen it, sis..." Andre shook Phoebe in either fright or excitement.

David pulled him back because he was using a lot more force than necessary.

"Don’t move, take your leg back." Phoebe loudly ordered.
