I stood shivering in my room as I heard my uncle's shouts of fake sorrow
Deep down inside my heart, I knew that things were going to change for me
My heart started beating rapidly, I sat down on the floor beside my bedside and folded my knees and started crying
"mommy... mommy " I said and started crying silently,
I started wishing that everything was a bad dream
It was just too much for me to take,
I just felt like I was going to die... were my parents really gone for good?
Did uncle T really killed them?
Was I really never going to see them again?
I remembered my parents cuddling me, reading bedtime stories for me, was everything going to end......?
These were the thoughts of my mind till I fell asleep
************
I woke up with a tap on my shoulder,
It was my uncle, I gasped and moved back in shock
He smiled gently but my heart kept beating furiously,
I started shaking again
He touched my face tenderly but the expression on his face was that of evil
He looked like he wanted to eat me up
"Come and bathe,,....after that you will eat and then we will discuss
Is that clear? "
I was too scared to speak, I only nodded quickly
He smiled and pulled me up, all I wanted was to run away from him but I knew that would earn me another beating so I followed him gently as he led me to my private bathroom
"Sandra
Remove your clothes "
Reluctantly I took them off... I saw him looking at my fast growing breast with an evil expression
,"Climb into that tub "..he ordered
I did so but my mind was at unease,
What was Uncle T's plan for me
With my shaky legs I obeyed.
So Painful...
Hope Sandra would survive it??
I climbed gently into the tub wondering what was his next plan for me
But I had learnt a very good lesson, disobedience would earn me a through beating....So as to avoid it, I must learn to be obedient
So I stood in the tub without complaining, he filled the tub with warn water and started bathing my body
He took his time to embarrass and do naughty things to my body
First, he started with my tiny immature nipples,he played a bit with it,
Twisting and turning it, I closed my eyes irritated
I felt like screaming but I tried my best to hide it
But my lips were already shaking...
Uncle T started drawing lines with his index finger on my body
"Hmmmm... Sandra
I'm gonna keep you as my personal toy... You're gonna learn a lot,
In fact you have a lot to learn, how to please me, how to make me happy
As long as you do so, you're safe and won't end up like your parents... Is it clear? "
"Ye.. Yes uncle T" I said shivering
"That's my girl" he said with a smile
Now come and eat... Naked I sat down to eat because he instructed me not to wear any clothing
The food set was my favorite meal, Fried rice and jollof with chicken and beef and fried plantains... Normally I was supposed to be glad but it brought only memories of my mother
My eyes filled instantly with tears but o sniffed them in... Everything was so strange and scary to me
I was just 10 years and I woke up one morning to see that my parents were gone and I was an orphan and here I was cold and naked in front of my favorite uncle who claimed to have killed them
Fear filled my heart and soul, nothing made sense... It was like a bad dream
As I stared at my food, Uncle T barked at me
"EAT UP IDIOT!!!"
The word stung me like a slap...i had never been called an idiot in my life before
All I experienced was pampering and excess love
I picked up my spoon and started stuffing my mouth with food,
The food was nice but then it tasted like rubber in my mouth.... I was eating out of fear and not out of hunger......
After forcefully filling my stomach, Uncle T grabbed me and pulled me into his room
He carried me and dumped me on his bed without care, I bounced back and moved quietly to the last edge of the bed.
He locked the door and started undressing,
I averted his glare and looked away,
My heart was beating very fast,i was thinking he was going to make me suck his d**k like the previous day but he had more plans for me.... Evil plans
********
After stripping naked, he climbed into the bed with me and pulled me closer to his side,
Then he kissed me voraciously.. Like an animal... like a beast..i tried to push him off but his weight was something else
He kissed all my face...my neck.. My nipples... All these while, I was screaming....
I didn't know why but I was so scared... I knew it wasn't going to end well for me
When my shouts got too loud... He got up and gave me a hot beating....After that
He pulled a box under his wardrobe and removed ropes and handcuffs
I was surprised... What was he going to do
He pulled me and cuffed my hands together and tied my legs separately with ropes to the bed posts
I hope you all understand my position... I was laying on my back with my legs spread apart wide and my hands were cuffed together over my head...i was practically helpless
Then to make matters worse,
He covered my mouth tightly with a piece of cloth
My screams couldn't come out loud like before again...sweats was pouring down my face and neck despite the air conditioner in the room
The only thing I could do was to shake my head, I was shaking it vehemently with water pouring from my eyes
Uncle T was so heartless,
He turned deaf eyes to my pleas and thrust himself deep into my little young vulnerable body
I screamed.... The pain was unbearable... I felt a warm liquid slipping out from my body... Then I was to young to know what it was... All I knew was that uncle T was hurting me
And he was doing it badly......
Was I going to survive this?
Was I going to live?
I looked at the ceiling and the last thought in my mind was
"Mommy... Daddy... Where are you? "
