I Kill My Fears

To spy on you

"what the f**k" Helen suddenly tensed up and quickly turn on her phone light.
On turning on her light she pointed the light towards her left and discover her mother

" Mum" she got up and stood on the floor holding her mum's hand out of fright " why was everywhere dark just now? who turned off my lamps?
Totally ignoring her questions, her mother replied.

"Who were you chatting with just now? It's a guy isn't it?"

Just then a sound was heard at a far end of the room. Helen immediately point her phone light towards there,

"What was that?" Helen asked holding her mother tightly.
Her mother on seeing Helen fright actions, she frowned.

"Helen, you are not a child anymore, there is nothing to be afraid off in the dark" she collected the phone from Helen's hands, without warning.

"You don't understand mum, there are monsters in the dark they are attracted to me, I think...." before she could finished speaking, her phone light was turned off by her mother. And then a thud was heard, her mother has thrown her phone away from them

"Am going to prove to you today, that's there's nothing to be scare of, this is all just some mental disorder.

"Mum, you are making a big mistake, those monsters will come." She held her mother hand tightly. "Please let's just...." Then a slicing sound cut through the air and something fell, all Helen could smell was blood, she subconsciously called out mum and then her mother's hands slipped away from hers and a loud thud was heard.

She stood there frozen, too many things her brain was processing, she only reacted when she heard the groans in the darkness.

She ran to the door, yelling as loud as she could, tears falling off uncontrollably.
She couldn't open the door, it was looked,
"Why is the door f**king locked" she yelled, yanking at the door and banging it.

" Stop panicking, am afraid you might have an heart attack" a voice was heard, a few feets away from her. It was the same voice from the previous night.

'okay, okay,' Helen try to calm herself down ' lemme just have a rational conversation with this him' she inhaled deeply and turned are back on to the door.
She couldn't see anything in the darkness, she could only hear the man's breathing

"Who are you? And was do you want from me?" She tried to keep a calm voice but no one could mistake the fear in it.

"I don't really know, my superiors gave me olders to spy on you."

"Spy? Does it involve killing my mother?" When she said this, drop by drop tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew her mother was dead

" That's was actually my first time, I've never killed humans before, I figured it only seem possible when you are in contact with them" the man said, slowly moving towards her. she could hear his foot steps

It was her turn to died 'oh God that stupid mother of mine caused all this, please I don't want to die now' she rested her back on the door, crying and screaming inwardly, begging to be saved.

She felt the door was moving, surprised at that, she turned to the door moving backwards. Suddenly the door burst open and bright lights shined towards Helen, she was saved

**************
An hour later police vehicles had crowded round there villa and Helen was seen in an ambulance covered with a blanket.
A detective sudden opened the ambulance door, startling Helen.

"Miss Anderson, am detective McLain, I wanna ask you some questions, can you please come out." Helen quietly came out.
She watched as her father stood by the detective, his gaze on her was different she didn't overthink it since she was experiencing a trauma.

" Miss, everything you've said to the chief of police, I'd like you to say It to me."
Then Helen narrated precisely what happened from the incident with the light's off to when the monster sliced off her mother's head to when her father and the maids came to save her

After the detective had scrambled a few words on his jotter with his left hand, he quietly responded

" Miss Anderson, do you take drugs?"
"No... should I?" She answered the question awkwardly she didn't really understand the question
"Miss Anderson, do you think it's possible that you could have unconsciously killed her, probably in..."

Helen face went pale "what?" She looked at her father, who kept staring at her with a cold face
"You are trying to say that I kill my own mother?" She asked the detective, extremely shocked " didn't you hear me narrate what happened? "

The detective calmly answered
" I did hear you, but your story is totally unfathomable. I think that you were high on drugs, you were probably seeing things,
having hallucinations, you mother came in to check on you but you probably saw her as threat or something and you killed her"

Her father added " you never liked your mother Helen, I never expected you in my wildest in imaginations to do this after everything we've done for you" he said it in a trembling voice.

'am I dreaming?'
"You seriously think I killed my own mother, dad? Then... Then where is the murder weapon?" She said, fairly trying to hide her anger

"We were about to ask you the same thing, miss Anderson"

"What?" She was so shocked by that statement, she was about to explode on the detective, but then she saw a familiar silhouette approaching them
'havey'. She had called him to come over earlier.
He came closer, putting out a badge

"Am Secret service Rockie and this is Secret service Savage." Pointing at a man right beside him."what happened here was a matter of national security, we will need Miss Anderson to come with us."
