Became Devil To Kill The Evil

Chapter 6 (Someone Watching)

I checked the caller ID and it was Uncle "Hey sweetheart, your aunty told me that you were missing me" I know it was a taunt as he is been asking me to visit for so long and I just gave him an excuse about my coffee shop being busy and so on "yes, I am. Olivia told me that you went for grocery shopping. What are you cooking today?" I knew, that whenever he went grocery shopping, it meant he was the one who gonna cook some delicious new recipe. He told me once that he always wanted to be a chef in a reputed restaurant but his dad AKA my grandfather wanted both of his sons to do a job which is related to higher studies and his both obedient sons followed his path. My dad became a lawyer and my uncle became a police officer. What a miracle, isn't it? "Black forest sandwiches, your aunt is craving chocolates so I am just giving it a try. Why don't you come today? We can have dinner and you can be blessed to have your uncle's delicious dessert" As usual he asked me to visit again and I denied but this time I gave an excuse saying I was with Samantha and Christopher, and they were treating me to dinner as their wedding is nearby. Then I and uncle casually talked about our work and some normal conversation then we hung up.
"Was it Uncle Chef?" I turned and suddenly Samantha asked with amusement "Eeyyeees??" I smiled in confusion that was why she was so excited "Is he coming? I wanna try his food. Please ask him to come. Oh wait wait, inform him
That we both are coming to them. I am missing the desserts and meals and Italian cuisine. Oh my god, even the thought of eating foods made by Uncle Chef, makes my mouth watery. Please let's go there, please?" Samantha said all these in one breath to which I shook my head in denial and she made a puppy face which did not work either. "Okay not today, but let's visit him one day okay? I will ask Christopher too" she said and without any argument, I nodded because I knew that 'one day' wouldn't be that soon. "Do you guys want something or are we good to go?" Christopher asked and we both shook our heads then he signaled us to go. We both waved our hands to Paul who was still sitting. He smiled at us and we left the hotel.

"What a busy day, I need to take a hot shower to calm myself," I told myself and checked the time, it was 5 pm already. After leaving the hotel, I drove home but Christopher and Samantha had other plans too so they took a different route I did not ask where they were heading too as they were a couple and I didn't like interfering between them. I filled the bathtub with warm water and turned the music on. my eyes were closed and my muscles were relaxed then suddenly I heard something which felt like an object hit the ground. I got alarmed, I got up from the tub very slowly took the flower vase which was near the tub, and wrapped my robe. I came outside from the bathroom and made sure that my foot made no noise while walking. I tip-toed to the drawing room but to my surprise no one was there and no object was moved. I checked my bedroom as well but nothing and the most surprising thing was that all the windows and doors had been locked the way it was before when I came home from the hotel. "I might be assuming things" I assured myself and it can be true because I received the text today and my subconscious mind had captured the fear due to which I am hearing things. When I saw no one or felt anything weird, I relaxed and wore a T-shirt and pajamas which were folded neatly on the bed. I wore these in the morning after I took a bath and while going to the hotel I folded them and put them on the bed.

I ate enough food at the restaurant so I thought of having a cup of ice cream with hot chocolate. I went to the kitchen to prepare the hot chocolate when I felt someone was watching me from the kitchen window. My kitchen was in the backside of my house and from the kitchen I could only the view of the woods it creeps me out sometimes because whenever I came to prepare something, especially at night, the long trees seemed like giant people. You know that 'skin walker' but it's just an imagination. The human brain is very funny, it always tries to convert boring things into something creepy so we can feel amused but this time the feeling of being watched feels different. It was not some talk tree that looked like a walker but a person. I lifted my head and looked outside of the window, I did not have the courage to open it but took a close look and I saw some shadow, a human shadow. I gasped, it was him. This time I was sure the person was him, I quickly took the phone out from my pajama pocket and started to dial 911 but stopped. I realized that if cops got him, I would be doomed too. I have been living a simple life for 10 years and if anyone finds out about my past, my life will be upside down. I put my phone down, tears were rolling down from my cheeks. My past was something that I never shared with Samantha as well. No, I will be dead as a victim but I will not accept a prison being a culprit when I know, what I did was necessary. I dialed a number "Hello, M-mrs Cooper?" I called samantha's mom, in this situation, she is the only person whom I can trust "Hi Aby, how are you?" she asked but skipping the greeting part I told her everything about feeling someone's presence in my home then seeing him from the kitchen "don't worry, I am coming? Did you talk to anyone?" of course, she would ask the question because she is the only person who knows my past and also she was my companion.
