Chapter 13 What shoud I do?!

I run towards the door and twisted the doorknob. It was locked! I kept twisting and twisting until I gave up. The door won't open. Lucky for me, I wasn't on the second floor and I could just get out from the window. I opened the window slowly and got out from there.
I was about to go to the front door when I saw a woman on the second floor window staring right at me. I can't see her face clearly, but I could tell that it's a woman. In a blink of an eye, the woman disappeared like a bubble. To be honest, I don't want to get inside, but I have no choice. I don't any shoes with me.
I twisted the front door's doorknob slowly, and opened the door as slowly as I can so i won't create any unnecessary noise. I look around the house before I went in completely. I let out a sigh when I decided to come in. I turned around to close the door, and when I turned around again. I saw a woman wearing a red dress and she was holding a knife.
"W-who a-are y-you?", I stuttered. The woman stood straight and look directly into my eyes. Her face was terrifying and she was not the woman at the second floor. The woman suddenly run towards me. My guts told me to run too, and thankfully, I can completely move my body. I run towards the stairs and went upstairs. I went to my room and locked the door.
Behind my door, I can hear a knife scratching. I couldn't help but cry.
"How can I live here peacefully when all of you are pestering me?", i shouted. "WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?!", I continued. The scratching never stop. The noise it made was deafening. I thought it will stop soon, but I was wrong, super wrong. It got worst as hour passed by. The sound feels like its going to make a hole on my door.
I keep staring at my door and observe the surroundings. I have to think of a way to get out of here. I look around to find something useful. There was a cabinet in my room that I haven't opened before. I decided to open it slowly and carefully, wishing that nothing would terrify me more. After the cabinet door was opened fully, bunch of blankets was seen.
Bang! I heard a loud bang from my door. She's banging at my door like a psycho. It keep on and on, and I know that sooner or later, my door will collapse. I grab all the blanket and tied them to each other to make some kind of a rope. I tied it on my bed and made sure I won't fall if I cling on it.
I slowly climb on the window so I won't fall. I hold on to the blankets really well. I quietly climb down the mansion and when I got down successfully, I run away as fast as I could. Before I realized it, I was already in front of my aunt's house knocking aggressively.
"Wait!", my aunt shouted from afar. I heard footsteps getting closer and then the door opened. My aunt was shocked when she saw me, but I did not pay attention to what she's saying and I just went to my old room hurriedly.
I closed the door and it made a loud sound because I closed it strongly. I lay down on my bed and covered my head with a pillow so I won't hear my aunt knocking on my door. I did not realize that I fell asleep. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up. I look around and I remembered that i wasn't at the mansion. I stood up and went to the kitchen. I saw my aunt standing on the sink and she was washing something.
I ignored her and just went straight to the fridge to get something to eat. After I choose a snack, I closed the fridge door, and there I saw my aunt standing behind the fridge door holding a knife while her eyes are so big its going to pop out.
"W-what are you doing?!", I asked. She just smile as she was wiping the knife with her other hand. I got goosebumps and I took a step backwards.
"Do you think you can escape me? You're wrong" she uttered and smiled.
"Get away from me! Get lost", I yelled. The longer I look at my aunt the more her appearance changed.
"Y-you're that woman at the mansion!", I said. She smiled even wider after I uttered those words.
"Bingo", she said. She steps forward and she was getting closer to me.
"Don't you dare come any closer!", I said. She just laughed at me and stepped closer.
I suddenly can't move. I tried and forced myself to move but I really can't. I just prayed for things to stop. Thank God, it did. I woke up finally from my afternoon slumber. I decided to go back to the mansion and get all my things. I can't live there anymore. I think I'll die if I stay a little longer.
"Are you going to sell it? Please don't. Just go back there, things will be better soon, trust me", my aunt begged. I look at her furiously.
"I know that you don't know anything about what happened to me. But I already tried to live there because you asked me to", I said angrily. "I can barely sleep because every time something creepy happened in that freaking mansion and I can'take it anymore. I want to live peacefully, why can't you let me live peacefully", I continued.
She lowered her head in shame and she was speechless.
"If you want the mansion so badly and you cherish it that much, go live there on you own", I said before I left the house. My day is ruined and I am so mad.
On my way to the mansion, I bumped into someone familiar. I just couldn't recall where I met him but I'm sure I already saw him.
"Hey. I heard what happened. Condolence", He said. He was talking about Claudine.
"Thank you", i replied. "Who are you again?", I asked him.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself to you properly", he laughed and scratched his head. "I'm Luke from the other section. That guy who helped when Claudine was possessed", he said. And that's when it sinks in. I couldn't remember his name because I don't know him in the first place and I only saw his face once.
"I was really shock when I heard the news", he continued talking. "What's your name again?", he asked.
"I'm Pauline" I replied. He offered his hand indicating that he wants a handshake.
"Where are you going anyway? You look like you're not in the mood", He said. I didn't know that it was all over my face.
"I can't explain it. You can come if you want to, I don't mind", I offered. He smiled and his face was enlightened.
"I'd love to", he said.
The two of us went to the mansion together. He look surprise when he saw the mansion.
"I didn't know you're that rich", he laughed awkwardly.
"I'm not rich, my deceased parents are", I said.
"Why are you moving out by the way?", he asked all of a sudden.
"You'll find out after you went inside", I uttered. "Let's go", I offered. He nodded as a respond. I opened the door and I wasn't scared because I have someone with me. I look at Luke to see his expression. And it was written in his face that he sensed something different.
"I see why", he said. I just smirked and went to my room. I pack all my things and move them downstairs. I didn't saw Luke at the first floor, maybe he was roaming in the second floor. I just continued what I was doing and let him roam the whole mansion. When I finished, I called out for him, but he wasn't responding.
I look around but I couldn't find him. I didn't get his number so I can't call him.
"HELP. PAULINE HELP", Luke screamed. I run as fast as I could to look for where the scream came from. I followed the sound and it led me to the basement. I twisted the doorknob but it was locked. I look around to find something I could use to destroy the doorknob. And there, I saw a fire extinguisher.
When the doorknob was finally destroyed, the door opened. The basement was dark and I don't want to go down there, but Luke needs my help and I have to save him because he was my responsibility.
