Mandy pov

I looked from the car window and I was like: shit! Do I really have to go there?..... But then I remembered Hanna's face. That gave me courage. I opened the door and got out bravely. However that place gave me chills. Why?- that I don't know.

The place was normal like other areas. There was small unpainted house in front of which situated a well kept garden. The garden gave the atmosphere a pleasant scenery. But still, I could feel some freakness.

Was that really the address that Grandma Antoine gave me?- I wondered.

I walked through the pathway of the garden. I was alone ...but I wasn't. I could feel some other presence, which may not be human.

I reached the door. The house looked quite old. I knocked and I was welcomed by an old woman who had wrinkled face and several missing tooth. Indeed,she was my grandma's cousin,granny Sandra.

"Come in my child." She said in a low voice.

I followed her down the hallway and reached the living room. I sat down as she poured some hot tea in a cup and offered it to me.

"It's the first time I'm visiting your house granny?" I asked.

"Oh no. You came here when you were 14." She replied with a smile.

"Wow, It's a very long time." I continued. "But you live here alone?"

"Who said I'm alone?" She grinned.

"But I see no one else around." I replied.

"My son. Here you don't see, you only feel." She smiled at me.

I couldn't understand her saying, but I was scared.

"Tell me about you. How's work and all that?" She asked.

"Everything's good. But I'm kinda stuck in a patient's case." I replied.

"Antoine told me about this. Finish your tea. Then we'll talk about this. I have apple pie for you!" She chuckled.

Suddenly, I felt hungry. I decided to enjoy a tasty apple pie and then talk about Hanna's issue. Moreover, it was not appropriate to concentrate with an empty stomach...

In no time, a beautiful pie was brought in front of me. My mouth watered. Verily, granny knew me best.

Hanna woke up and looked for Alex in the room. He wasn't there. She started to panic. She knocked at the bathroom door but no one was in. Where could he have disappeared.

After a few minutes. Alex entered the room. Hanna quickly grabbed a perfume bottle and hid her hands behind her back. Alex came in and looked at her closely. He looked normal. No green eyes.

"Why are you sweating?" He laughed.

"It's hot." Hanna sighed.

"Then take off your pullover." Alex advised.

Hanna smiled, watching Alex sit down on the bed. She took off her pullover. She sat next to Alex. He still smelled like geranium. She calmed down and checked her mobile. No texts, no calls. She wondered what Mandy could be doing.....

*****

Mandy swept his mouth leaving out a small burp.

"That was so delicious granny. Thank you so much!" He blabbered.

"What do you want to eat else?" She asked.

"No. It's enough for today." Mandy replied.

Granny Sandra cleaned the table and washed the utensils. In the meantime, Mandy visited the whole house.

After that, they sat in the living room and Mandy narrated everything to his granny who listened very attentively to each word.

"Yes, he can be possessed. But why did Hanna marry such a man?" Granny Sandra asked.

"She said that she doesn't remember when they got married." Mandy explained. "She does not even remember when she was admitted to the mental asylum."

"That's very complicated." She replied.

"And, and she had green eyes too." Mandy recalled.

"This is too complicated. Did you see Hanna marrying that boy?" She asked.

"No." Mandy said.

"You know Mandy. I cannot understand how to help. The way you are stating about the attacks, the spirit possessing that boy.. What's his name?" She asked.

"Alex". Mandy interrupted.

"Yes Alex, I was saying.. The way you're telling me, one is confirmed that he's possessed. And the spirit is not a good one.
If it is evil, then I can't do anything because I can only communicate with good souls."
She finished.

"But, how can we get rid of that spirit?" Mandy asked.

"First you have to find out everything about it." Granny said.

Mandy was confused. It was the first time that he got involved in all those paranormal stuffs.

Granny Sandra cleared her throat and began : "You have to find out who is that spirit, why is he possessing Alex, what it wants etc....."

"But how?" Mandy asked.

"I don't know my son. You can use the help of another spirit. A good one." Granny Sandra explained.

"Can you really do that?" Mandy asked.

"Do what?" She asked back.

"Communicate with a spirit." Mandy said with enthusiasm.

"Don't underestimate my powers, remember, I told you that I am not alone here." She replied as she winked at Mandy.

"Ohhhhhhhh" Mandy was shocked.

He now understood. He thought Granny Sandra lived alone. But it was not at all the case. She was living among spirits. Good spirits.

*That's why I could feel weird beings in the atmosphere as I was coming here. I was not alone with granny here. Wow! Such a great family I have. Why did grandma Antoine hid this from me. My old granny turned to be super granny!*- Mandy thought as he walked towards his car.

He turned around and waved a goodbye at his Granny. He placed the supper packed by granny Sandra on the backseat and before starting the car, he sent Hanna a message. Then he drove back home.

*****

Hanna was chatting with Alex when all of a sudden, her phone vibrated. She rose up quickly from her place and checked her mobile.

Finally there was a message: 'Don't forget to reach the hospital before noon tomorrow for Alex's appointment.'

Hanna raised up her chin and let out a sigh of relief. She then turned around and looked at Alex, announcing that they would have to visit the doctor the next day.....
