My Soul Got Stuck In Another Person’s Body!!

I assembled all the boys I hired. They were lined up in front of me and I glared furiously at them.

“Any news on my stone?” I asked them

“No, boss” they chorused

“You haven’t found my stone?” I bellowed. “You haven’t?”

“No…”

At that moment, I saw red. A dagger was near me. It was unpremeditated. All I could think of was the anger and frustration I felt. I immediately grabbed hold of the dagger and stabbed one of the boys with it.

I staggered back, shell shocked, when I realized what I did.

The guy I stabbed fell down and the other guys rushed to hold him steady.

“Find my stone!” I screamed.

I was going to do worse than stabbing if I didn’t get that stone.

It had become my life. My passion. I was driven by it. I couldn’t think of anything else except it. If I didn’t find it, I didn’t know what I’d do next.

Evelyn

The days went by like a blur. I couldn’t believe a week had gone by since Elizabeth’s funeral and body exhumation.

Back to Elizabeth Monroe. I couldn’t fathom her. She and I were complete opposites. We argued over everything. My clothes, the colour of my bedsheets, my haircut, the size of shoes I wore, everything.

Someone would think I was arguing with an actual human but the truth remained that I was arguing with a voice in my head. I still had to convince myself that I wasn’t insane. Elizabeth was impossible.

She kept badgering me about her family and her boyfriend and how she missed them.

“Could you be more cruel, nerdy Evelyn Thompson? I haven’t seen Derek or my parents for a long time and —”

“That’s not my problem” I cut her off

“You have to take me to them. I want to see them” she whined

“Stop whining in my ear” I said

“I won’t stop until you agree” she said. “are you this mean? Why do you keep me from seeing my family? I’ve lived with them all my life and now I’m trapped in your body and I can’t do anything about it. I told you that I see whatever you see. Can’t you grant me this wish? Uh? Evelyn Thompson?” She babbled.

I didn’t want to seem like a heartless monster, so I agreed

“Fine” I said “but I can’t let you see both your family and your boyfriend, at least not today”

“Agreed” she said

“Now you have to choose one” I said

“Um… let’s go see Derek” she said

“Right”

Minutes later, I was ready and driving to see someone else’s boyfriend. What more would I do for you, Elizabeth Monroe?

She chirped non stop while I drove and it angered me so I just drove faster, until I got there.

“He lives here” she told me and I went there and knocked on the gate.

After what seemed like a minute, he came out. What my colleagues said were true. This guy was huge! I had seen him before but not as up close as this. Somehow, I felt like cowering away, but I’d come here, hadn’t I? I couldn’t go back now.

I could hear Elizabeth’s squeals in my head.

“Derek, baby, how have you been? I missed you” she said

Uggghh! How mawkish! Didn’t she realise that Derek wasn’t hearing her or when was she going to realise that?

“Please, Evelyn, go inside his house. I just want to see his house again and hear his voice a little” she said to me.

Ugh! What a pain!

“Who are you?” He asked when he saw me.

“Uh– I’m Elizabeth’s friend” I managed

“Haven’t heard of you before” he said

“I–I just want to talk to you. It won’t take long” I said

“Okay, come in”

His house had a peaceful and relaxing environment.

I came in and took a seat in the sitting room.

“Wait here. I’ll be back” he said to me and left.

“Are you happy now?” I mumbled. I didn’t want her boyfriend to hear me. Of course he’d think I was speaking to myself and he’d assume I’m crazy.

“Yes, yes. Thanks. I missed coming here, so badly”

I smiled as I listened to her elated chirp. I don’t know why but it felt good.

I sat and waited for some time but Derek didn’t come out. What was he doing wasting my time like this?

Then I heard shrill sounds. It sounded like a woman’s voice. Wait! Did he have a guest?

“Does your boyfriend live alone?” I asked her

“Yes, he does”

I listened quietly. I could hear the sounds clearly now. They were moaning sounds.

I stood up.

“Do you hear that too?” Elizabeth asked, her voice shaking

I didn’t know what led me, but I followed the sounds. I was wandering around in a stranger’s house but I didn’t care.

I stopped at the door where the sounds came from.

I hesitated

“Is Derek doing what I’m thinking?” Elizabeth asked, her voice, barely a whisper

I pushed open to the door.

It was exactly what I and Elizabeth imagined. Who wouldn’t imagine sex after hearing moaning sounds.

Derek was under a brunette, who straddled him. They were obviously into their love making.

She quickly covered herself with the sheets when she saw me.

“What the hell?” Derek said as he struggled to put on his underwear.

I could already hear Elizabeth’s sobs inside my head.

Anger laced through me. I went to Derek. In short steps, I already covered the distance between us.

I raised my hand and gave Derek a loud and painful slap.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“I waited for you out there, while you were busy fucking this slut?” I bit out

“What’s it to you? How dare you come —”

“Your girlfriend ” I shouted, my voice cutting his off. “She died just when? A few weeks ago and you’re fucking someone else? So quickly?”

“Should I mourn her for the rest of my life?” He barked

I glared at him intently. I didn’t even realize that I was so mad. Wait! Why was I mad because the gorilla cheated on Elizabeth? I couldn’t care less about her? So why was I so furious?

Maybe because Elizabeth wasn’t actually dead and this brute was busy fucking another woman.

“You’re shameless, undeserving and a total waste of my time” I spat out at him and stormed off.

Maybe Elizabeth should have chosen to visit her parents today, then she wouldn’t have seen this.
