Chapter 50: I didn't kill them
"It's hot" mumbled the sleeping Wang Yu Yan, as she pushed the blanket from her legs. Still it didn't work. It was all sweaty for her.
Feeling too warm, she flinched and after tossing and turning, she became wide awake. Opening her eyes, she sensed something unusual.
Seeing the blank in front of her eyes, she flinched in surprise. Rubbing her eyes again, she hoped that, the darkness in front of her would be a dream. But to her dismay, it didn't happen. Her fingers clutched the bed sheet and she felt her breath short.
Having difficulty in breathing, Wang Yu Yan panicked. " L-lamp" she mumbled when with great difficulty she managed to sat up on her bed and her hand reached to the side of the bed and then to the side table where the lamp was kept.
Nothing being visible, her hand patted on the side table, slowly moving forward. And when she felt something, instead of grabbing it, due to her panicking, she slapped the lamp.
CRASH
The lamp fell down and it made a screeching sound, which made Wang Yu Yan startled and dizzy. Her head felt light and her mind went blank, unable to get things straight. " P-phone, my phone?" she said with a teary voice.
She needed to get a light source, fast.
When she got down the bed intending to stand up, her legs felt that they had given up. Not feeling her legs, she fell onto the floor.
Sweat formed on her forehead, and she felt as if she was getting electrocuted. Her chest felt tighten and she started shaking.
Gathering her courage, she took the support of the bed and tried to stand up. When she finally stood up, her legs felt wobbly, and she felt unable to move.
But with her shaking legs and trembling self, she went to the bed's opposite side and searched for her phone.
Getting her phone, Wang Yu Yan with her trembling hands and her head looking right and left , she picked up the phone. With her trembling fingers, she opened the phone, which gave her some light. But still, she needed to hurry, or she will be totally taken by the panic attack symptoms.
As she was unable to think straight, Wang Yu Yan became clumsy but instead of opening her flashlight, she just clicked where her fingers reached.
" W-why is not opening?" said Wang Yu Yan with a raised voice.
She patted the mobile with great force, making it fall down. And with it falling down, the last source of the light in the room, and that's when she felt that she was being chocked and her heartbeat raised insanely.
Now she was totally taken by her fear. As a result all the past memories came flooding, which she had locked in a corner of her heart and mind. In front of her eyes was a dead corpse, totally covered with blood.
When she looked down, she was standing a pool full of blood. She looked at her hands, which were covered with blood. She tried to rub her hands on her clothes, but no use. The blood remained as a permanent mark on her hands.
A voice came 'Now it's your turn'
Surprised by the voice, Wang Yu Yan took a step back. Again the voice came 'You will also die, like your family'.
Tears starting coming out of her eyes and made way to her cheeks. Again a voice came 'You killed your father. You should die'
"N-no, I didn't" said Wang Yu Yan followed by the sobs and whining. She again took a step back.
'You killed your mother, father and your grandpa. You don't deserve to live.'
' You are a curse. DIE!!'
'Murderer. Killer. Curse'
' Now it's your turn'
All the voices , took over her mind. Not wanting to hear them, Wang Yu Yan closed her ears with her hands. But still the voices kept ringing.
' You are a curse. DIE!!'
'Murderer. Killer. Curse'
' Now it's your turn'
"No I didn't kill them. I-I am not a curse. I didn't do it." she kept mumbling the words. Finally she felt like her legs lost the strength, and she fell on the floor.
When she looked above, she felt like a person was approaching towards her with a knife full of blood. Flinching, she moved back and hit the wall.
Folding her legs, she kept mumbling " I didn't kill them. Don't kill me" with her tears flowing through her eyes.
Burying her head in her knees, she shanked to protect herself.
...…..
RING RING
Wen Mei was in her deep beauty sleep, but the continuous ringing of her phone, caused her to annoyingly pen her eyes.
She picked up her phone from the side table and saw Wang Yu Yan's name on the caller ID. She immediately picked it up with a confused expression.
"Hello Yan Yan! What are you up to in late night?", she asked with her groaning voice.
But no answer came from the other side. "Hello Yan Yan" Wen Mei asked softly.
She panicked.
Getting up from her bed, she said "Yan Yan…Is everything alright? What-" but was cut of by a voice.
"Don't kill me. I didn't kill them. I am not a curse"
Wen Mei flinched at the sentence. After that she heard, heavy breathing and sobs.
These were enough for Wen Mei to sense the problem.
"SHIT!" Wen Mei cursed her mind.
She immediately pulled her sleepers and ran towards Wang Yu Yan's room.
When she reached the room, she heard some sobs and voice of Wang Yu Yan.
She tried to open the door, twisting the door handle but it didn't open.
"Why the hell is it locked?" Wen Mei said. After a pause she said while heavenly knocking on the door.
" Yan Yan, Its me, Wen Mei. Open the door."
No answer. " Yan Yan, open the door" she yelled.
Li Wei was working on some documents in his laptop when he heard some noises from outside. He removed the laptop from his lap and went towards the door.
When he came out of his room, he saw Wen Mei furiously knocking Wang Yu Yan's door and yelling her name.
"What happened, Wen Mei?" he asked
"Oh Li Wei, thank god, you are here. I think something is wrong with Wang Yu Yan. I got her call, and I heard some voices from her room. I want to see her, but the door is locked. Do you have duplicate key of Yan Yan's room. Can you please bring it?" Wen Mei said while she was restless.
Li Wei immediately got worried after hearing the matter. When he got into her room she was sleeping peacefully, what happened now?
He ran to his room and brought the master key and opened Wang Yu Yan's room.
Wen Mei as soon as heard the door unlocked, rushed inside pushing Li Wei aside. When she entered the room she was surprised to see total darkness.
" What are you spacing out for? Open the lights dammit!" Wen Mei said, while her eyes scanned the room.
Li Wei was surprised to hear Wen Mei so furious, but hurriedly opened all the lights.
The scene that unfolded in front of them, shocked both Li Wei and Wen Mei.
The lamp was broken on the ground while the blanket was all wrinkled. Wen Mei entered the room and she heard some sobs.
Searching for the source of the voice, she saw a silhouette crouching on the floor on the side of the bed. Her hair was all messed and her clothes were completely messed too.
Her head was buried in her knees and she mumbled between her sobs, " I didn't kill them."
"Yan Yan" shouted Wen Mei as she ran to her friend.
