DEMONS YOU MADE

I saw myself being dragged into a hole. There were masked men everywhere. I looked around the place, it was very dark.

"Please leave me " was all I could hear. Loud screams, wails and cries.  I jumped out of bed with great fear. I looked around and I noticed I had hot tears on my face. I couldn't help it I continued crying. Memories of that fateful day kept flooding in but they were so blurry. I kept crying and shouting in muffled tones so no one would hear me. I cried myself to sleep that night.

The next morning, when I woke up, I went into the bathroom to have my bath. I would have gone for my early morning jog but I didn't have that kind of energy this morning. I was just too weak and tired.

After taking my shower, I dressed my bed and arranged my wardrobe, arranging all my clothes in it from the bag I brought yesterday. After I was done, I went downstairs to the kitchen. As usual, mom and Nessa were in there together, laughing, chatting and cooking.

"Good morning Mom" I greeted her as I walked past to get bottled water from the fridge.

"Ehen..how are you my darling? How was your night?!" Mom replied and I couldn't help but cry inside. My night??

"It was fine." I simply said

"Good morning Neto." That was my sister

"Hey" I told her then walked out with my bottled water.

As I was about ascending the stairs, dad was coming down,so I waited for him. Why on Earth was he still at home?

"Good morning Dad"

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" One thing I liked about Dad was his ability to see through me and ask the right questions.

"Honestly, I don't know" I wasn't lying. I didn't even know how I was feeling.

"Let's go have breakfast." He said walking into the living room.

I went upstairs to just get myself, I decided to do this by reading. Yeah, I love reading. I was reading a particular mystery novel, with a lot of suspense.

I heard knocks on the door. I didn't answer it. Whosever it is, should just talk and get going.

"Mom, said you should come down for breakfast." Can Nessa just leave me in peace.?! I stood up after five minutes and went downstairs to the dining.

"What took your time upstairs?" Mom inquired

"I was busy " Simple reply!!

I looked at the dining table, orange juice, organic tea for mom and Nessa,  coffee for dad, hot cocoa for me, scrambled eggs and fried eggs, and bread. The fried eggs were for me, that was the only type of eggs I ate. I digged in and started eating.  Immediately, I knew mom made the fried eggs, she was just wonderful. She never allowed the maids or Nessa make my egg.

"Dad, I'll need some money. I need to get my toiletries and cosmetics." Nessa told Dad. Dad always respected table etiquette.

"Ok, I'll send some money to you for you and Neto."

"Dad, thank you so much." She squealed.

After breakfast, dad left for work, I went into the kitchen to do the dishes. When I was done, I went back into the room to continue my reading but nothing was entering. I decided to sleep a bit.
