Jane Doe POV

This morning when I was sitting in hospital garden bench, I saw a woman spirit wandering aimlessly near garden. There's a strangle marks in her neck. Maybe she was a murder victim. She looks so sad that make me pity her. When I try to ask her about what happen to her, she only answer

"He kills me and wants to bury my body in woods near here"

She doesn't say anything else except those words, no matter any question that I ask to her. What can I do to her? She dies in tragic way, if her spirit not peaceful she'll become evil spirit. And evil spirit will do harm to other living people. Ah, that police officers from last night! He have a strong guardian spirit, maybe he can help me. So I close my eyes, try to remember him and when I open my eyes, I already stand in front of police station. I ask the nearby officer to meet with detective Rick Jones and Sam Wright.

They seem a little surprised to see me here. I don't want to waste their time and start telling them what I saw and what I hear. Sadly, they can't do anything about that. They don't know where to start the investigation. I can't tell them the victim's name either because she doesn't tell me. So I can understand that they can't help me, but I really want to help her.

Dr. Sullivan comes not long time after that after receiving their phone call to pick me back to the hospital. Along the way back, I'm thinking whether or not tell Dr. Sullivan about this. On the road near the hospital, I see her spirit again, she pointing somewhere in the woods. Maybe she wants to show me where she buried, so I ask Dr. Sullivan to stop his car. With her guidance, I follow her entering the woods. On our ways there I try to ask the woman spirit about what happens to her.

"Can I ask your name?

"My name Sherly, Sherly Marshall"

"Miss Marshall, what happen to you?"

"My boyfriend, he has gone too far this time. Not just hit me, he strangled me till dead"

"I'm sorry…"

"You tried hard to help me right? Thank you"

"You don't have to thank me, I do this because my own initiative, don't mind it"

"Look over there, my body will bury there," she said while pointing to a certain direction.

In the middle of woods, I see a man still digging a hole with a shove. A woman body, wrapped with blanket lying in the ground near him. When I still thinking what should do, the woman spirit behind me start laughing

"Hehehehe…. You should bury with me. If not, I will very lonely there. You don't mind right?"

After she finishing said that word, the man suddenly stops his digging and look at me

"You! You saw what I've done. I'll kill you as well!"

The woman spirit no longer behind me, she's behind that man now. Moving his body from behind. Next thing I know is his shovel hit my head and make me fall to the ground. When he raises his shovel again to hit me that already lying in the ground, Mr. Jones, that police officer come. With a loud roar, he charges to the man.

"You bastard! What are you doing to her" he shouts loudly

His roar is incredible. The woman spirit that controls the man from behind deflected away from the man body, and when the man still in shock condition, Mr. Jones fist already landed in his body and make him fall. After beating down the man, he comes to check my condition

"Hey, girl are you alright?"

"Mr. Jones, you can break that strong spirit's possession! Your aura really powerful"

"Huh? What are you talking? I just hit him down"

"That's not what I mean"

When we still in talks, the man that Mr. Jones just hit trying to stand up. He still holding his shovel, swing it up, like want to hit us with that

"Bastard, you really asshole" Mr. Jones touch his waist, but not pull anything from there. Maybe he wants to draw his gun but forget to carry it. I can't let that man injured him, so I decide to act. I talk to that man

"Mister, you already possessed. The woman behind you, can't you see it?"

"What do you talking about!"

"Then I'll make you can see her"

I close my eyes, focusing my mind to make him can see her, and when I open my eyes, the man looks pale. He already aware there's a woman clinging to his back. With a loud scream, he crawls to Mr. Jones. He looks very scared, the woman did not follow him, she just stands in her position.

"Please help me…please help me" that man begging.

"Sherly it's all my fault..it's all my fault. But that because you force me to do. I already give you money for the abortion but you threat me by will tell my wife about it" he shivering in frighten.

The woman spirit did not respond to his words. She still stares him with her white eyes.

"Your talk is useless, she already becomes a vengeful spirit. She will follow you wherever you go"

The man face getting paler and he keeps uttering words asking for help. At that time I see the spirit behind Mr. Jones come forward and touch the woman forehead. After that, the woman slowly vanished.

"What are you just doing?"

"Who do you talk to?" Mr. Jones seems confused with my words

"I talk to the spirit behind you" my explanation only makes him more confused.

"I put her in my body. I decide to let her stay there until her anger appeased" Mr. Jones guardian spirit suddenly talk to me

"You … you really a powerful spirit"

"Please take care of him"

"Mr. Jones! Your guardian spirit is so incredible!!"

"Huh? Can you say in simpler words? I can hear you but I understand nothing". Ah, Mr. Jones still confused about that.

"Hey, Rick! I found this woman body!" Mr. Wright squatting near the body of Sherly, he already opens the blanket that covers her body. "She's dead with strangled marks on her neck"

Mr. Jones pulls a handcuff from his waist and takes the man hands.

"You under arrest for murder, you have right to remain silent, all your word can be used against you in court .. bla .. bla .. bla. We will take you for further interrogation and I do hope you'll be in jail for a long time". Mr. Jones recites the suspect rights like what police usually do when they catch the criminals.

After arresting the man, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Wright take him and I leave the woods.
