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

Chapter 10



Today was Elizabeth’s funeral. God I hated being here! Why did I even have to be here? I had no choice in the matter.

Everyone was present. Our colleagues, Mrs Tobias, the witch who was responsible for this mess after all because all these wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t sent us on that stupid errand. Elizabeth’s parents and relatives…

Everyone cried. Even stupid Elizabeth cried. I kept hearing her cries inside my head and of course it infuriated me.

Maybe I was the only one who didn’t cry, but gawked at people like a groupie.

Elizabeth’s wails in my head, got louder.

“Hey” I called. “can you shut up?”

She ignored me and continued crying

“Shut your mouth, Elizabeth, you’re a nuisance” I was lucky no one heard me. I wasn’t exactly standing close to anyone.

“Leave me alone! How can I not cry at my own funeral?”

“Funeral?” I scoffed “Have you forgotten who’s life you’re burdening?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s my funeral, Evelyn. My fucking funeral. My mom and dad and aunty May and my younger brother, even Derek is here. I see them all but I can’t touch them because they all think I’m dead…”

“But—”

“My baby, Derek. It’s five days past our anniversary. I planned so much for that day, but I couldn’t celebrate because I’m stuck here”

“You think I’m enjoying this shit?”

“I don’t know, Evelyn Thompson. Please just let me cry…” She said and resumed crying and I couldn’t stop her this time. I didn’t want to. I pitied her. In fact, I pitied our situation. I was not the type to show emotions like that, but now, I really felt like crying.

The burial proceeded and Elizabeth’s body was now a few feet underground.

“Can we, I mean can I go now? I know where the body is buried. I can come back and exhume it” I asked.

She didn’t answer. I guess she hadn’t stopped crying.

I left the mortuary and went to my car. I started the engine and began to drive.

I just wanted to get out of there.

“When are you planning to exhume my body?” She finally asked

“This night. I have a shovel in the back seat. I’ll get your body out and send it to a private funeral home”

She didn’t respond. It’s not like I wanted her to.

Elizabeth

If someone had told me that I’ll be trapped in my rival’s body, then I would have called his or her bluff

I had just gotten back from my own funeral and I was forced to go wherever Evelyn Thompson went.

“Where are we going? Why aren’t you saying anything?” I asked her. The silence was making me uneasy

“I don’t know, Elizabeth. I’m thinking of the best way to commit suicide while driving”

“What?” She was impossible!

“I don’t know if I should just drive into a car or crash into a tree…”

“What the you saying? Have you gone mad?”

“Yes. Maybe”

“You know if you die, it means we’ll both die” I said. Maybe she’d forgotten

“I know that. That way, I can take revenge on you for pestering me all these years”

Was she serious? Was she going to kill us both? Uggghh! This lady was and will always be an insufferable cunt!

“You know you caused all these” she suddenly said

“Caused what?”

“This mess with the stone and everything…”

“I didn’t cause anything” I protested. “You’re the one who caused it”

“If you hadn’t pulled my hair back then in the car, then that accident wouldn’t have happened”

True! But she was missing the part where she annoyed me which made me pull her hair

“You started it! You insulted my boyfriend and you know I don’t tolerate insults directed at Derek!”

“Whatever!” She dismissed. “you also annoyed me. We both annoyed eachother. If you hadn’t began talking then it wouldn’t have come to that”

She was right again. Pfftt! Duh!

“And you even touched the stone. No one asked you to touch the stone?” She asked and It felt like she was lecturing me. Who the hell did she think she was?

“I didn’t need nobody to tell me to touch the stone, it was shiny, duh!”

“Are you always going to be an impulsive dimwit? Look what you’ve done”

“And I’m sure you’d like to rub it in, huh? Asshole!” I fired back

“Bitch” she cussed at me

“Cunt!”

“You know, I’m not going to do this with you” she said

“It’s seven in the evening now, I should go dig out your body ”

She reversed the car and drove back to the mortuary.

Evelyn

This was going to be harder than it sounded. I hadn’t handled a shovel before and I obviously didn’t know how to exhume a body.

“Come on!” Elizabeth hyped from inside my head.

“Easier said” I ground out.

I stabbed the shovel in the ground, and I dug out the sand. I did it continuously until I reached halfway through.

I slumped on the sand as fatigue took control of my body.

“Tired too soon, aren’t you?” She teased

“Why don’t you dig, if you can ”

“You know I can’t”

“So please shut up!”

“You know I don’t like to take orders from you ” she clapped back

“And there’ll be no one to dig out your body if you keep running your slutty mouth ”

She now kept quiet. At least I could think in peace now. After I deposit Elizabeth’s body in a funeral home, I was going to have to pay them to preserve her lifeless body

That wouldn’t be a problem.

Then I would drive home, conduct a few researches on how to get her darn soul out of my body, then I’ll take a hot shower and…

“Hey!” Elizabeth’s irksome voice cut through my thoughts. “are we going to sleep here?”

Just freaking great! I’ll keep going through this. Elizabeth Monroe’s voice in my head and her soul in my body. What more could anyone ask for?
