Chapter 72 A Strange Woman
Esther did not know when and why Terence came here. They just had a short conversation, but her heart was throbbed at his words.
It was all because of the concerning words he said when he left. Although she knew they were for others, she was still touched.
Esther only ate a little in the evening because she didn’t like barbecue very much.
But Serena handed a delicious chicken wing to her and persuaded, “Don’t listen to him about everything. You seldom eat junk food. It’s okay.”
“No, I’ve just eaten some bread. I’m full. Let’s give it to Linsay.” Esther handed it to Linsay.
But Linsay did not take it. She looked up at Esther and asked, “Esther, was that man really your husband?”
Esther felt speechless.
So did Serena. She rolled her eyes, “Come on, Linsay. You’re still thinking about your dreaming man?”
Linsay froze as if she had just realized something.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She hurriedly explained, “No. I just can’t believe it.”
“Can Esther lie to you?” Serena teased her, “Did you develop romantic feelings for him at first sight? Well, it isn’t a good thing.”
“How is that possible! Don’t talk about nonsense!” Linsay turned to Esther and explained anxiously, “Esther, she is talking about nonsense. You’re my friend. How could I develop romantic love with your husband?”
Esther smiled, “Don’t be nervous. Serena is kidding.”
After the barbecue, they started to play the Werewolf game around the fire.
Around them were trees, and the only light was from moonlight. Under the dim light, the game became quite thrilling. Boys were acting like real wolves, frightening some girls to shout out in fear.
A bird suddenly cried strangely, and all the girls screamed out of fear. Even Esther, who was bold and did not believe in any spiritual things, felt her hair stand on end.
They had to stop the game because of the girls’ fear. Then everyone went back to sleep.
Esther, Serena, and Linsay shared a tent. Serena said she was out for distraction after she lost her love. But she didn’t look sad. She had a good appetite and almost fell asleep in a few minutes.
But Linsay tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Esther didn’t know when she fell asleep.
After an immeasurable moment, Esther was woken up by the strange sound of footsteps.
At first, she thought that maybe it was one of her friends getting up to use the toilet. But the footsteps didn’t stop after a long time. It sounded very light as if someone was moving around their tents. She could vaguely see a shadow following the sound.
‘Maybe someone can’t sleep and is out for a walk?’ Esther looked at Serena and Linsay and found that they were in deep sleep. She carefully crept forward the tent door and then unzipped it
It was very dark outside. She looked around and vaguely saw a white figure not far away with its back facing her.
It was a woman. She was wearing a white dress that touched the floor. She was tall and skinny, with long black hair that reached her waist … She looked like the character in a horror movie.
Esther’s heart thumped unsteadily. She tried to recall the features of the five women traveling with her today. Apart from Serena, Linsay, there were three women. But she didn’t know them very well. She remembered that one of them had a short, simple hairstyle. One’s chestnut curly hair was at her lower back. There was one with long, straight hair, but it was shorter than this woman’s.
Maybe one of them was wearing a wig to scare them? No, it was impossible. Moreover, none of them was as skinny as this woman.
What was going on? Who was she?
As a girl who didn’t believe in the existence of ghosts, Esther was a little bit scared. The longer she looked at it, the more frightened she was She blinked her eyes, doubting that she was dreaming.
But she wasn’t. Because it hurt when she pinched her thigh.
Esther took a deep breath and pushed Serena by her feet. Serena was in a deep sleep. She turned over impatiently and muttered, “What are you doing? I’m sleeping.”
Perhaps the woman heard Serena’s voice. She slowly turned around.
Esther finally saw her face. No, her pale face was covered with her hair. Under the dark night, Esther could not see her face clearly. But she felt that she had seen this scene somewhere before.
The woman was also staring at her, her gaze vicious and cold. Even though it was night, she could still feel the hatred emanating from her.
Esther swallowed and stared at her for a moment, unable to react.
Finally, she knew where she had seen this. She had dreamed about it.
She couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly. But the woman’s gaze, clothes, and hatred for her were the same as that in her dream. Even the scene beside her was the same.
‘No, that’s impossible!’
She didn’t believe that it was true. She thought to herself that it must be an illusion!
Esther shook her head. She quickly put her head in and fumbled a flashlight. She wanted to figure out what was going on.
After taking out the torch from her bag, she took a deep breath and quickly shifted the light towards the woman’s face.
But she found nothing as the woman was gone.
It just took her less than ten seconds to look for the flashlight, but the woman disappeared into thin air.
What exactly was going on? Could she fly or transform? Was she a ghost?
“Serena, Linsay, wake up!” Esther hurriedly shook them awake.
“What’s the matter?” Linsay rubbed her eyes sleepily.
“I just saw someone outside.”
“It’s not a big deal. There are so many people here.” Linsay turned around and continued to sleep.
Serena didn’t even wake up. So Esther had to give up.
She was very scared. But she wanted to know what was going on. So she timidly crept out and walked towards the direction where the woman was just now…
