Everywhere was filled with darkness, the only ray of light I could see was the one coming from the street light some steps away. I was walking, but walking to where? I don't really know... the darkness was so thick it made the light coming from the street light faint.
I kept walking in that direction and passed it going further into the darkness, but it wasn't too dark anymore because another street light could be seen up front and a small house… this looks so familiar like I have been here before, but I can't seem to pick point what exactly this place is and how I found myself there.
I could feel my heartbeat so fast against my ribcage and tried to calm myself down by muttering what I used to hear Mum say when she puts me back to bed after a big scary nightmare.
I tripped and fell forward but I hurt my wrist
So dad got back yesterday and it was quite okay. I and Danielle presented the numerous pastries (even though it isn't up to ten kinds of pastries) we made him and he appreciated it and almost ate them all.I was happy he loved it, he brought home some gifts for each of us and we all were pleased with it. I was happy I didn't get a sorcerer's book this time. Yes, that’s how strange he finds me.I am so prepared for school and Danielle thinks it's fine to take our time, I really dont know what she is doing in her room. I remembered banging against her door when I woke up because I know how much time she takes just to have her bath.Let's not start with when she is dressing up. We have uniforms for crying out loud and she takes all the time in the world to put them on. You just have to be patient when it comes to
"Hey, you came quite late to school" I heard someone say from behind me and I looked over my shoulder and followed his movement till he was walking beside me to class."Hey Leo" I greet him and he smiled at me."How are you doing?" he asked"I am fine, and you?""Hmm... good looking as always"I glanced at him and saw his dimple pop on his cheeks when he smiled and I rolled my eyes and punched him lightly on the arm."Yeah, I know" I muttered."So you find me attractive, eh?" he said looking at me from the side of his eyes."You are good looking to the eyes, though" I added under my breath."I will ignore the last word and go for the first compliment, thank you, Ella. You are very much aware I find you more than attractive?" he asked and I looked at him and flashed him a smile."I know" we were about to get into the class when I felt someone tap my shoulder then walked past me, I looked behind and face front
I honestly wasn't that mad at Leo anymore or even Chris, like it happened since morning and I am not the ‘i enjoy keeping grudges’ kind of people. Since I already told them off, I am great. I even told him not to bother joining me for lunch, because I was a bit angry then but my anger has already subsided. Now it was closing hour and everyone is heading home… I can't speak for them but I know I am heading home. ‘I need my bed at the moment' i stretched a bit and got pushed a bit by a girl who angrily muttered ‘move away and dont poke me’ i apologized and left the middle of the road. Then I made
“So do you want to explain what went on between you and your beloved Leo yesterday?” Danielle asked and I stopped from putting the piece of bread in my mouth and threw her a glare. I narrowed my eyes on her and continued with my meal. We were hanging out at Becca’s place having a little picnic at the little garden behind her home and it was going well till ‘Aunty’ here decided to ask questions I didn't want to answer yet. “You don't want to talk about it?” Rebecca asked and I shook my head ‘no’. “Okay, understood let's talk about something else” she immediately changed the subject and I was glad she did. “Okay, if you say so” Danielle agreed
“You know I miiisssed you so much,” I said putting the whole spoon of ice cream in my mouth. We were sitting in front of a superstore that sells ice cream also and was eating mince pies and ice cream. People passed by giving us weird looks for sitting on the pavement but we didn't mind them but concentrated on our snack. We weren't using their but to sit, so what's their problem. After I saw him sitting on the pedestrian walkway I found out it was in front of his house and he invited me in but I declined and suggested we got ice cream instead. Now here we are munching this great snack. I love it so much. “I was thinking of how I was going to talk to you, not the greetings we gave each other during the week.”
“So, you guys are back to talking terms?” my twin asked when we were having dinner and mum looked at me with a questioning look. “You and Leo fought?” she asked and I threw my twin a glare before shaking my head and looked at my mum. “Just a little misunderstanding between friends, here and there” I answered and faced my food. “Does he understand you both are on the friendship level?” Mum asked and I turned to look at her. So she noticed too? “I know that boy likes you a lot, a blind person can see it…” she paused and looked at me “except you are naive or ignorant to that fact” I looked away from her unable to keep eye contact. “Then you know, seeing that you cant keep eye c
“Now, we will divide x and say it equals to minus x and that would be our final answer,” he wrote it on the board and covered the marker “I hope that was very understood?” “Yes sir” we chorused as we copied the solution on the board. “Okay, now that we understand that, I will like us to have a little quiz since I am done teaching for the day and we have like thirty-five to forty minutes to end the class.” he put the textbook down and picked up the JAMB past question booklet then skimmed through the pages Some students groaned and muttered ‘why can't he just leave since he is done for the day’ some couldn't wait to solve some past questions, me being one of them. “So, you guys
“Go, I will meet up with you. I need to pick up something from our maths teacher’s office” Leo told me and made his way to the other side. I began to make my way to the school gate then remembered I didn't take my calculator and decided to go fetch it because if I don't fetch it now, if or when I see it somewhere or with someone I should just know I did a giveaway for whoever gets their hands on it. I turned to go back to the class but stopped in my tracks because of what I saw. Leo had his arms wrapped around Mabel in a really tight hug. I could feel my heart crushed as I watched them in that position. What is happening? Why are my palms suddenly sweaty? Why is my heart beating so hard and fast? Why do I feel like going over there to rip them apart and push her away telling her to stay clear of him? Why?
Everything has been so crazy these past months. With my dad wanting... no, trying to kill me and would have succeeded the third time if not for… Sighs I really don’t want to think about all that has been happening these past few months and so I don’t think too much and cause another depressing depression for myself again. The therapist I was supposed to see when I was little which whom I am having a weekly session told me not to overthink things too much so it doesn’t affect my daily life and so that I can concentrate on healing from what has happened. Although she said healing might be a bit difficult since I have started having flashes of what happened to me when I was little and it is causing some major trauma for me and it might or might not make me crazy that was why she recommended I shouldn’t think too much about it. So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai
We all watched as emotions played on the judge face but he tried his best to ignore it.It is still like a dream to me, that my dad could do such to me and all those affection he showed where just for me to trust him enough so he can carry out his wicked plans successfully without me or mum suspecting a thing.That is the sickest thing I have ever heard anyone say and especially when that anyone is your dad.I am sick to the stomach and cant even look at him and see him as my dad. I am heartbroken, I am sad, I am conflicted… there are so many emotions running in me and I cant do anything to stop them from flowing.How can a father do such to his child? His daughter? His own flesh and blood? He is sick, very sick and I am ashamed to call him my dad or some one that is related to me.At first it was him picking on me, calling me all sort of names, being rude to me and all then slowly he started to seem like he was changing and making me think
After about three months in total some more evidence were presented and they were able to catch the remaining suspect who agreed there was a main boss but didn’t know him by face only what Org and Del told them about him they believed.Mabel, Angela and some of her school mates that were involved testified that Org told them to do so to her because the ‘big boss’ wanted her to be broken and to lack self-esteem.The security team in the estate testified and some of the new recruit said they saw one of their men give someone in a black hoody something before the person left and was threatened not to talk else he would be killed.He was scared for his life and kept quiet and would hardly come to work, so when he heard about the missing footage and a teenager being missing, he could hold himself and had to tell his boss, not caring if he would go for it. He had a sister of that age and cant imagine what her parents would be facing.A nurse h
Its been a week since I was discharged from the hospital and a lot has happened… like so much had happened.Everyone had been careful and gentle with me and it was okay though. Mum said she wouldnt allow me to resume school now, till everything is sorted already and mostly because she didn’t want it to serve as a remembrance to what I went through.I am glad that Daniel is almost done with his NECO exams and he said it was quite a challenge for him because he was bothered and coupled with him and Elle doing their investigations but he said he is fine now that he knows I am okay.I did ask about dad but everyone told me not to bother to much about him and I should just rest enough and not cloud my head with so many things.Elle went to school but I do have Becca to thank for staying back home with me and would stay till everyone came back home. I tried asking her if she knew something and sometimes it would look like she was holding back but s
…Present Day…She was seated in her car as she reminisce on what Sawyer had told her or rather unveiled to her. Her daughter showed her something familiar three days ago and is still in shock that he would do so.They said they needed enough proofs to tag it on him and his crime that was why they needed him to be in their custody.When she had found out about it from her daughter three days ago, it was hard to believe but her daughter was at stake here and she just had to believe and when she told her daughter not to confront him about it yet, it had always been something she wanted to do, that was why she kept lurking around when he calls or is alone to get something off him.She wanted to get it off her but didn’t want to blow things up at the same time so she had to lay low so instead she sneaked it to the police and informed her daughter about it so she was in on it too.They were able to locate that town that Danielle told
…Three days ago…Danielle called her mum into her room and explained some things to her concerning Daniella’s kidnap.“I know what I am going to say and show you might seem surprising but just remain calm and don’t think too much about it”The past few weeks that Daniella has been missing, the whole residence of the estate and her school knew and had tried in their own way to offer assistance and support.She hadn't announced it to anyone and was surprised that almost everyone around them knew about it but just had to go with it since everyone knewSome came by a few times and would just drop words of encouragement but were stopped by Deji’s constant nagging about having strange faces around them.To avoid any trouble or argument she nicely told them to send their regards through mails or through Daniel and Danielle or when they see her outside and was grateful for their understanding.
Everything happened in a split second and none of them are able to tell how of what happened in the past hour. It was a blur of confusion, tears, scars, danger, slight anger, and of all hope that everything turns out well.The continuous beeping of the machines was the only signal that her daughter still has a chance to live again from all that had happened to her these past weeks and now.Rose buried her face in her palms and so wished that she was the one who was in the position of her daughter was in currently.It was still so fresh as if she was told all of these just seconds ago.She could still remember when the police called and told her that they had found Daniella. It was like giving cold water to a lost, wandering, thirsty soul. So refreshing and heartfelt by her and her children. She felt the unseen burden being taken off her shoulders.She had rushed to the hospital with both Daniel and Danielle and are now waiting inside the waiting ro
“Ba-”“Where is my daughter?” she cuts him off as she threw him an angry look but he just looked at her, unable to formulate any word to say to her.“Look bab-”“I SAID DO NOT BABE ME” she screamed at him and he was taken aback by her outburst.This was going to be the first time in so many years that he would be seeing her in such a state. She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
Deji kept pacing back and forth in his room since he heard the news. He really hoped that they were able to get out of that environment in time before things actually get out of hand.He had tried calling again and again but they aren't picking and it increased his fear with the hope that they aren't caught by whoever might have attacked them.He became more anxious as the time passes as he expect a call, text, sign of anything… anything that would give him the assurance that nothing had gone against his plan.Rose didn’t understand the reason for his restlessness these past days and doesn't understand that if anything goes wrong, he could be arrested, and would be sentenced to life imprisonment or even worse… death by hanging, firing squad, or whatever punishment they give to arrested criminals.He would be doomed if such happens that was why he wanted to make sure things go out fine and that they are okay and wherever they might be.
