I came back (Short Horror stories series)

Hey!

Just to inform that this is first ever story I'm writing without inspiration from other movies or stories! That means it's totally created by me. And this is more of a sad story than creepy one.

I came back (Short Horror stories series)

I was waiting for my teenage daughter Linda who didn't reach home at the time. She is 15 years and went to attend a birthday party for her friend. It is already 9:30 pm and I'm drowning in the sea named worry due to this girl. I wonder what she is doing this late. Today she is supposed to share a room with me as her bed is all wet because she accidentally dropped a water bottle over it.


I went to my room to set up the bed and do my night routine. While applying cream on my face my eyes went to the picture of my deceased husband which I kept near the mirror. He was stabbed to death on 18 March 2010 around 10 pm under the roof of this home only. The murderer is still free. The cops and detectives couldn't find who killed him. Today is 18 March 2015. Exactly 5 years after his death too it seems like I can't move on from him. Few tears escaped my eyes remembering how he suffered when we rushed him to hospital. As blood was gushing out from his back the tears were also gushing out of my eyes. He was the one suffering yet he was the one consoling me. He said, "Shh.. All is fine. Don't cry. Nothing happened to me stupid! You are worrying about nothing".


When the doctor announced that he had only 15 mins to survive my heart just dropped out of me. His last words were, "I will come back. Just wait".


It was 10 pm now and Linda didn't come. She is getting a good scolding from me now. I was already tired so I made myself comfortable in my bed. I left some place on the other side so Linda can sleep when she comes.


After 15 mins~

I heard someone unlocking the main door and closing it back. I heard a few steps then felt someone slipping their hands in my waist. I assume it's Linda only. She whispered in her raspy deep voice which is like her dad's, "Sorry I came late. I will never upset you anymore."

I replied in a stern voice, "We will talk about this in the morning".

She said, "But-"


Suddenly my phone started ringing under my pillow and cut Linda's words. I picked up the call without seeing who called me as I was pretty annoyed at the person for calling so late in night.

Me - DON'T YOU LE-

??? - Mom! I missed the bus so I couldn't reach home. I'm staying in my friend's home only. Sorry for informing late, my phone got switched off.

Me - Wait, who is this?

??? - Mom, I'm Linda. Okay I gotta go sleep now good night! *cuts the call*


I was shocked. Who is hugging me then?


??? : Honey I have come back and I will take you with me now. I will never ever leave you alone from now.
