Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 209

Eileen had no idea that the director had been carted off to the hospital again.

She came to the dorm room where the freckled girl had turned into a ghost, with five people in tow, treading lightly.

She switched on the light. The room was just as she had left it, looking run down, with a musty smell of rotting wood hanging in the air.

Phyllis clung to Eileen, saying in fear, “I don’t want to stay here…”

Jaqueline also chimed in, holding onto Phyllis and saying with shaking voice, “I don’t want to stay here either.”

The room was indeed in bad condition, and it didn’t look fit for living at all.

Simon had already ditched his skirt and wig, he said, “I’ll go have a look outside, see if there’s any other room we can use.”

Jarvis responded, “I’ll go with you.”

Simon looked at him.

Jarvis walked over and gave Simon a pat on the shoulder, saying, “It’s a horror movie rule, you know. If you’re alone, you’re more likely to be in trouble.” Simon thought for a moment. It was indeed safer to go in pairs, so he said, “Alright then.”

Once the guys left, Eileen started to inspect the room.

The camera and microphone on the floor had been reinstalled. The room was a mess, and dust littered the table.

Eileen walked over to a lower bunk, running her hand over the sheets, she said, “At least the bedding’s clean.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Phyllis shook her head resolutely, “Even if it’s clean I’m not sleeping on it! I’d rather stay up all night!”

Jaqueline agreed, “Me too! Me too!”

Eileen turned around. She looked at Hedy who hadn’t spoken a word since they arrived, and asked with a frown, “Hedy, you’ve been quiet. What’s your opinion?” Hedy glanced quickly at the trio through her bangs, then quickly stuffed a small red object into her pocket and muttered, “I don’t have an opinion. I don’t know about this stuff. I’ll just go along with what you guys decide.”

Eileen narrowed her eyes, sizing up Hedy.

Finally, her gaze landed on Hedy’s bulging pocket.

Comments:

-[What’s that thing? When did she get it?]

-[She’s had it the whole time, since she turned into a ghost.]

-[There are only four girls in the room now. Is Hedy going to make a move? But she’s alone, she can’t possibly take on three people.]

[She can’t make a move now, doing so would blow her cover. Eileen could squash her like a bug.]

About ten minutes later, the guys returned.

Simon reported, “Most of the other dorm rooms are locked. The ones that aren’t are even more run down than this one.”

Jarvis chimed in, “Actually, this room isn’t too bad. It has its own bathroom, a sink, we could clean up a bit, if we wipe the dust off the table and chairs, we could rough it out for a night.”

Eileen nodded gravely, “Alright then, let’s clean up.”

Everyone got to work.

They cleaned the tables and made the bed.

By the time they had finished, it was exactly eleven o’clock.

As the eleven o’clock bell toll echoed from the school building, the lights in the dorm room and the hallway outside all went out suddenly.

“Ah!” Phyllis screamed.

Simon immediately moved to Eileen’s side to protect her, saying, “Don’t panic, it’s probably just a power outage.”

Jaqueline was on the verge of tears, “There’s even a power outage here?”

Jarvis explained, “Most schools turn off the power at night.”

Then, as if it was an illusion, a noise came from the hallway outside.

Eileen frowned and said, “Shush.”

Everyone fell silent.

The noise in the Hallway became clearer.

It was the sound of a woman’s high heels clacking on the floor, punctuated by the occasional baby’s cry…

Upon hearing this, Eileen was instantly filled with fear.

It was the same sound she had heard in the dormitory on the first floor in the afternoon!

After a while, the footsteps and crying got closer.

Finally, the sounds stopped right outside their dorm room.

Jarvis and Simon immediately rushed to the door and locked it.

Just as they finished locking it, a knock came from the other side.

The gentle knock, in the pitch-black environment, seemed especially eerie.

Jaqueline covered her mouth and squatted down, unable to control her tears.

Phyllis was shaking all over, covering her ears and huddling with Jaqueline, not daring to move.

And at that moment, in the dark, Hedy’s figure slowly moved towards Phyllis and Jaqueline

Although the room was pitch black, the infrared camera on the wall was able to send a clear picture to the live stream

(Oh my god! Hedy’s going to make a move on Phyllis

I’m so scared the knocking sound is too creepy’)

(Where’s Eileen? Eileen, protect mell What’s Eileen doing? Oh my god, how did she climb up on top of the cabinet]

She climbed up as soon as the footsteps started looks like she was ready. The top of the cabinet is a blind spot, if a ghost comes in, it’d probably eat everyone else before noticing her]

“Open the door” A gloomy woman’s voice came from outside, “Open the door!”

Inside the dorm room, all was silent. No one dared to make a sound.

Then, a delicate noise came from outside the door.

A few seconds later, Jarvis suddenly pulled Simon back and squatted down.

Simon was confused, but Jarvis whispered in his ear, “Look up

Simon looked up at the glass window above the dormitory door, and what he saw scared him stiff.

A female ghost’s face was pressed against the glass, contorted, her large, pupil-less eyes searching for them in the darkness.

Simon quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming

Jarvis supported Simon’s shoulder, trying to hide him behind himself.

“Why won’t you open the door for me… the female ghost outside suddenly started scraping the door with her nails.

The sound was piercing and terrifying

Her voice gradually became more sorrowful and pained, “Weren’t we good friends… why did you tell the teacher… why did you tell him.., my baby… give me back my baby…

Inside the dorm room, everyone remained silent.

The room was still pitch black.

After a while, the female ghost outside seemed to give up. The footsteps gradually moved away

After a while, Jarvis asked, “Did she leave?”

Eileen stayed silent, listening carefully until she was sure the footsteps were completely gone. She climbed down from the cabinet and said, “She left.”

Only then did Jarvis and Simon stand up.

The room was still pitch-black, not a single speck of light in sight.

After Simon managed to steady himself, he asked, “Where are the others?”

At that moment, Hedy’s voice rang out, “We’re here.”

From the balcony, Hedy, hand in hand with Phyllis and Jaqueline, walked over from the other end of the bedroom.

in the darkness, all Eileen and the others could see were three vague figures approaching them.

Comment section:

-Oh no, they’re all screwed]

-Phyllis and Jaqueline are already “dead”, they’re now three ghosts, what are they gonna do?]

-How did Hedy kill Phyllis and Jaqueline? Why didn’t we hear anything?]

it’s that seal, the little red thing in Hedy’s hand, it’s a seal. She used it to mark the back of Phyllis and Jaqueline’s necks, and they turned into her controlled ghosts!

Hold on!”

Just as Hedy and the others were about to get close, Eileen suddenly pulled Jarvis and Simon back a couple of steps, staring intently at them and said, “Why are Phyllis and Jaqueline hand in hand with Hedy? You two, say something”

They didn’t answer. Controlled ghosts cart talk, they just kept walking forward like puppets.

Jarvis frowned, “Something’s off”

Jaqueline, who was sobbing quietly just a moment ago, and Phyllis who was usually chatty, were now eerily silent. Something was definitely wrong.

As they were getting closer, Eileen and the others were already backed up against the door.

Simon asked urgently. “What should we do now?”

Jarvis spoke in a low voice, ‘We still don’t know what’s going on exactly.

“What’s there not to know?”

Eileen suddenly rolled up her sleeves, licked her lips, and threatened, ‘Let’s just smack them and find out! They’re all celebrities, they must have accident insurance, right? If we break a few of their bones, the insurance company should compensate, right? Well then, there’s no need to hold back!”

The three ghost girls were speechless, so were Jarvis and Simon.

Eileen stepped forward, ready to kick someone.

Jarvis and Simon immediately stopped her from both sides.

Eileen yelled, “Let go of me, let go of me!”
