Possessed- I finally found Catherine - (Story) - 9

 I immediately looked back and was delighted to see. It was Catherine. I've seen her for the first time after the funeral. 

'Who are you? What are you doing here near the forest?' asked Catherine.

I wanted to tell her all the things but maybe I'll sound mad. So I just answered, 'I lost my way.'

She didn't care and left saying, 'Be careful! People are murdered here and police do nothing.'

I was able to feel pain in her voice. I was about to stop her but Rodrigo came in front of my eyes again, 'Tell her everything. Tell her how you killed me.'

This time I just ran through him and shouted, 'Stop!'

Catherine stopped and looked back, 'What do you want?'

'I can help you to find the truth about Ashley.'

'How'd you know about him?' Catherine was shocked.

'My uncle is in police.'

'Police is doing nothing,' grumbled Catherine.

'But we can do it. We can find the truth.'

'Why do you want to help?'

'So that someone else don't get murdered,' I was not able to think any better explanation.

She was not satisfied with my explanation but she nodded.

'Where do we start?'

'Maybe we should search the forests because it was the place from where the car came.'

'Nice idea! But how do you know...'

'I told you that my uncle is in police,' I interrupted her immediately. 

We walked inside it. My father always used to warn me about not going to forests alone. But what worse could happen?

It didn't look dense from outside but when we got few metres inside it was crowded with trees. There was no way a car could move here. Something was wrong about it. We just walked in for few minutes and the trees has already blocked the sun light.

Suddenly Catherine screamed. I moved towards her and asked in concern, 'Are you alright Catherine?'

'Yeah maybe there is a thorn in my back.' I checked and pulled it out.

'Thanks,' she said. 'Wait! How'd you know my name?'

Crap! 'Told you my uncle is in police.'

'So? Do you remember every citizen that lives here?'

'Umm... No, actually I'm in your school,' nothing better came in my mind. 'And you're quite famous there.'

She rolled her eyes, 'Yeah whatever.'

There was no way we could find anything there. 'We should go back. There is nothing in here,' I suggested.

Catherine didn't want to give up. She searched for few more minutes but finally agreed with me. We turned around and had no idea how to go back.

Great now I'm lost in a forest too. It was getting late. There were already only few rays of light coming but now they disappeared too. \

'How will we go back?' asked Catherine.

'I've no idea.'

We walked here and there but it was not much help. Suddenly I heard a twig crushed. Someone else was here too.

I could see the fear in Catherine's eyes. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and my heart skipped a beat...
