Became Devil To Kill The Evil

Chapter 1 (Her Anxiety)

"Hey mate, can you just move your shitty old junk?" I heard this familiar voice from a distance while sitting on the couch. I put my coffee mug on the table and walked towards the window to learn where this noise was coming from. I saw the person screaming to a not-so-very old person as his car was parked in the middle of the lawn and it seemed like he was unable to start the but then suddenly I got a chill in my spine and I just closed my eyes 'No he can't be here, he c-can not be here, is he here to kill me?' this statement started repeating in my head. I opened my eyes to recheck and the next moment my coffee mug landed on the floor. I was so stunned at that moment, that even the higher temperature of the coffee could not affect me. I was shivering like anything. I ran here and there to lock all the doors and windows and went to my bedroom. No matter, how hard I tried, my shivering just got worse. I manage to pick up my phone and dial a number. "Hey girl, what's up?" Samantha asked. Samantha is my best friend and my family. We have known each other for 20 years. Our mothers were best friends from college and fortunately, our fathers used to be acquaintances. We met at 3 when Samantha and her family started to live in our neighborhood. Since then, she has become my family and my savior. "Sammy, c-can you come t-to my home?" I managed to utter these words and she immediately understood that something was wrong. "Calm yourself, do not think, and drink water, I will be there in 15 minutes Aby." She said and hung up the Call. She knows that I have anxiety issues. Whenever I behave like this, she just gets to me, no matter where she is or what she is doing.

I was impatiently waiting for her to come when I heard a knock on my door. I got up to open it but suddenly a thought hit my head 'Why would Sammy gonna knock when she knows about the doorbell' I stepped back in fear and ran to my bed. The doorbell switch has been designed in a way that an unknown person would not be able to get a hint that this is a switch for the doorbell. My main door has a daisy flower design and in the middle of that, there is a witch for the doorbell. The flower petals have been designed so perfectly that the switch seems like a flower seed. Only the people, I trust know that there is a switch.

I was in my bed and my body was shivering. I couldn't manage to open the door. I was so afraid of the fact that my past had been returned to the city. I felt my legs getting numb and sweat was running down my forehead to all over my neck. I heard the knock again. I quickly pick my phone and called Samantha. "W-where are you? H-how l-long it will t-take?" my lips were shivering when I asked her. "I will be there in a few, please hold on to yourself" and she hung up the Call. I managed to get up and try to peep from the window to see who was knocking when I saw Sammy coming towards my home. She pulled the car in my Porsche and came toward the door. Without a single wait, I opened the door and took a look all over the area. "Aby what is happening? Is there someone else you are expecting?" she asked with confusion as I was looking here and there. "No, it j-" I got cut off by a notification in my phone. 'Dear Aubrey, we were unable to deliver X, please call 345-xxx-xxxx to reschedule the delivery' I read the text and sighed in relief. Then I said to Samantha who was still looking at me with amusement all over her face "Nothing, I was looking for the parcel but seems I missed the door knock and the delivery man returned the order. I grabbed her hand and pulled her in and locked the door. "What is up Aby? You sounded very worried. Is anything bothering you again?" she asked in concern and I knew what she was talking about.

I got my first anxiety attack when I was 15, it was when my parents died in a major accident (that's what everyone said). I still remember every tiny detail of my memory and the worst thing is that I got nightmares of that day. 'I came running from my guitar class, I was so excited to play the new rhythm to my parents which I was learning for days. I reached my porch and saw a police car and a few people gathered in front of my home. At first, I did not understand but when I moved forward, my legs stopped. A cop grabbed my hand. I was continuously looking at the two white sheets that covered two bodies and my mind took a moment to understand. I was 15 and by looking at the scene, I knew who are they but I did not want to believe it. I took a step forward and sat. O remove the sheets from each of the body and that's it. The next moment I remember waking up at a hospital and that moment I learned that I had an anxiety attack' I recalled all the nightmares when she cupped my face and asked "Is it happening again?". She was asking about my nightmares. I took so many therapies to get rid of those and finally a year ago it stopped. I looked at her and I felt a drop of tear just fell from my left eye. She hugged me and we did not utter a word for 1 hour.
