“So, your nightmares aren't as frequent as before?” I paused from putting the forkful of pasta in my mouth and turned to look at my dad who was sitting at the head of the table.

I placed the fork back on my plate and looked around to see I wasn't the only one who paused after hearing that question.

Although I am not sure if my siblings know about the little weird remarks dad says in a whisper to me or in front of mum but he is asking this was… should I say strange, unbelievable, weird… I don't know but his job was to mock me, not ask if I was doing fine and if the nightmares had stopped haunting me.

I looked back at him and saw the expectant look on his face then to my mum who threw him a glare before meeting my gaze. She shook her head no and looked at me with those eyes I never wanted anyone to look at me in.&n

    “Thank GOD we will soon vacate for the term,” Danielle said and I looked at her with my eyebrows raised. “That’s what you should be saying when the term is coming to an end, we just started the term girl” I reminded her and she threw me a glare in return. “You didn't have to remind me” “I just need to be sure you are in your right state of mind,” I said taking off the Ankara kimono and the matching headband. “This was amazing, I love this gown so much,” Becca said twirling around in a mid-thigh length green flare gown with brown flower imprints. She wore brown flats and a headwrap turban to go with the dress. “I like the kimono I wore too, these girls are super talented.” I

    We got back from the little treat Rachael gave us and it was amazingly awesome, the food there made sense and I would definitely want to go there again.We will come to a conclusion whether that would be our new spot or we will just stick with the old one.We really enjoyed ourselves but I noticed something strange or rather someone strange. We sat at the table close to where they attend to customers and the sink to wash my hand was close to the door, and because I opted for Fufu and egusi instead of Beans and bread I went to wash my hand there before our food was brought to us.I went to wash my hands when I caught a glimpse of a particular man and I swear he looks so familiar, I was kind of shaken because it feels like this man was super close to me in some ways but I

    “Get up” I pushed my pained body further under the table and away from him. The last thing I want right now is to be close to him.“Org, leave her. Dont scare her more than she is already” Del told him and a scoff went out of Org’s lips and his footsteps faded and I opened my eyes to see that he was with Del but they were talking in hushed voices.Once in a while, they would glance at me, well mostly Org but that was all. Sighing and cleaning both the fresh and dried tears from my eyes I moved my body out from under the table and managed to sit up then leaned my back on the table drawers.I closed my eyes and leaned my head back due to how hard my head is pounding and the light in the room isn't helping in any way. I could feel myself shiver a bit and I couldn't do anything to keep myse

    The next day I woke up with a not surprising headache and I turned and tossed in my bed not wanting to open my eyes. Well, that is what I get for crying almost the entire night. Crybaby, you can call me that but I needed to do that. I was happy he apologized, even if he isn't sure I heard him but he did and he sounded so sorry and was sad because I wished it was sooner. At least he apologized and wants us to start all over and have the father-daughter bond I craved for every moment of my life. Another round of tears threatened to fall out but I restrained myself from allowing the emotions to get to me. Sniffing and cleaning my face, I stood up from my bed and felt dizzy so I had to sit back down so my head can get clear of any dizziness. When I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore, I stood up and took gentle steps to my

    “Hi, how are you doing?” I stopped in my tracks well because Chris came to stand in my way. Letting out a sigh I looked up at him and crossed my arms. "What do you want?" I asked. "Oh come on Ella, cant I say hi to you anymore?" he asked and I rolled my eyes and tried to move past him and he stood in my way again. "What the hell Ella? Are we fighting?" "I have told you before, it is Daniella to you and no I am not fighting with you. I need to get to class before the Economics teacher gets in first, you know how strict she is and I don't want to be at her receiving end especially when she is angry" I said successfully walking past him but he didn't leave but trailed behind me. "Yeah, I remember she could be a tigres

    I couldn't understand what was going on. The sky keeps getting dark and I am sure it isn't close to evening yet. I am trying to understand my situation here and not freak out. This should be a desert. A desert? Why am I in a desert? I have never been to one before. How then did I find myself here? Well, there is no one to answer my question so I just kept walking, ignoring the sand that keeps getting into my eyes due to the wind that is blowing. This place doesn't in any way seem familiar. Just sand, here and there. I couldn't even see a house or maybe a human being close by. Maybe this was a deserted place and I could see one up front. But… this is a desert my inner mind whispered to me but deciding now isn't the

    “Thank GOD you came today,” I said to Leo when we entered the school compound and said bye to my siblings. “Yeah, I am glad too” he smiled at me then we walked towards the assembly ground since we came minutes after it started. When the assembly time was done everybody went to their respective classes while I and Leo walked to class together. I sat on my chair while he sat on the one beside me then we looked at each other and burst into laughter. “Why are you laughing?” I asked in between laughing and coughing he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. “Well I don’t know why are you laughing?” he asked back. I stopped laughing also and shrugged. Then I brought out my book for the present subject and so did he. I know I have mentioned this many times but I feel myself whenever I am around him. It just feels like no other person is in the room but just us. ‘More like we against the world’. Okay, Nah, let's not t

    “She mustn’t know I allowed what happened to happen” I woke up to a harsh pain on my head followed by voices talking. I muffled the groan that wanted out of my mouth and tried to open my eyes but they refused to. Could be the heavy pain in my head, can't handle another harsh blow from the rays of light. “I really want to get rid of her but I cant at the moment, I need to sort out some things before we can proceed to the next stage,” he said. “But sir, can I ask why you want her dead?” “No you cannot” was his reply. “But she I-” I heard the cocking of a gun and someone being shaved against something and some things being knocked off to the ground. “You do as I say and stop with the questioning, I am the boss here remember that. I pay you and you obey, are we clear?” I heard no response from whoever he was talking to “Are we clear?” “Yes boss” the man replied and I heard more things being thrown on the floor and m

    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

    “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
