Clara strolled down the hall ways,her glasses tightly fixed to her eyes as the breeze blew rapidly sending chills down her spine.
A smiled sneaked across her face remembering the good-bad days of her youth when she saw tow little children arguing over a toy.
She walked towards them as they were both engrossed in their argument,"Hello kids.."She interrupted.
The kids turned to her panting,"Miss Clara it's mine!"The older one whined tucking the toy to herself,"You're lying,it's mine you borrowed it"The other half yelled fighting back to drag off the toy.
"It's alright kiddos!,how about this??"She stated smiling to see their reaction as the kids turned waiting keenly to hear what she has to say.
Clara took the toy and gave to the small kid,
"But......"
"Shhh!"She shushed her up immediately with a warm smile,"Is she your age mate precious??"She asked.
"No Miss Clara"The older one name precious answered grumpily with squeezed face.
"Come here honey..."Clara placed her hands on her shoulders squatting to her level,"Darling!.....time will come when this toy wouldn't be so important to you....the more you grow ,the more responsible you become and you'll have much responsibility too....I thought she's you're friends?"She explained asking.
Precious nodded staring at her friend Miracle as a slight smile creeped onto her lips.
"Now tell me darling...is it right to share things with your friends??"Clara asked further.
"Yes it is "Precious responded lowering her face in guilt as she fidgeted with the hem of her gown.
"Then why dragging??...When she's done with it she'll get it back to you,that's what friends do!they'll never spoil your things or do things that'll hurt you okay??"She reassured her as she raised her head smiling broadly."Yes please "She grinned wider.
Clara turned to Miracle with a fake frown,"Hope you'll return it??"She asked.
Miracle stared at the toy,then at precious and back to Clara,"yes I will "She responded tenderly.
"Good girl and don't spoil it okay??"Clara smiled patting her gently on the hair,"yes please"Miracle happily responded grinning,she walked to her friend pushing her gently by the arm,"I won't spoil it I promise "She stated which got her friend smiling.
Clara smiled watching the kids leave her sight,if only she could rewind time!If only her past was as perfect as these kids, she wouldn't have had any regrets at all.
"Miss Clara??"She heard her name from behind as she felt a tap on her shoulders
"Yes please?"She responded.
"Jeez I've been calling your name, where's your mind huh??"Mrs Annabel her colleague teased.
"Ugh,I'm sorry just a little stressed out!"She replies smiling warmly.
"Ohh so sorry, ma'am asked me to call you it's time for the meeting,hope everyone is gone??"She asked blabbing.
"Yes, they're... thanks,let's go then"Clara stated as they both walked to the hall of meeting.
The meeting went smoothly as the proprietress corrected their faults.
She left for home feeling a little bit dizzy,"mummy...mummy!!"She heard her kids voice as they rushed towards her.
Angel David Micheal and Sophia were her four kids.
"Uhm mum Sophia has been whining,she wouldn't eat her golden morn"Angel complained as soon as they got to their mum."And is that your good afternoon??"Clara retorted.
"Sorry mum.. good afternoon"Angel corrected giggling sheepishly.
"So you can't even take care of your junior sis eh?,how will you take care of yourself when you go into the university??"Clara questioned carrying Sophia.
"But mum....."
"Don't but me!just look at your sister,has she taken her bathe??has she done her assignments?? No!!,you're eighteen for crying out loud, this shouldn't be so and you know it!"She half yelled at Angel correcting her mistakes.
"I'm sorry mum"Angel apologized staring daggers at Sophia which Clara ignored.
"So how are you guys??"She asked smooching Micheal to herself,"We're good"They replied in unison while Sophia played with her hair.
They all walked inside as Clara dropped Sophia rushing into the bathroom to take a shower.
She couldn't help but smile as the chilled water touched her bare skin.
Gosh!!wish life was chilled and good as this!
When she was done she dressed up,put on a light make up to her face and walked down stairs to the sitting room.
Her kids were watching their favourite Kids Tv movie while Angela alone was engrossed on watching her Kung Fu channel on phone.
She walked to the dinning opening the food placed on the table,"Is this mine?"She questioned,"Yes mum!"Angel responded,her eyes still fixed on the movie.
She sighed and sat ready to munch her meal.
The day has been hectic already!.
Her fork fought it's way through the noodles as she devoured them.
"Mum??!!"David her fifteen years old son called abruptly,"mm??"came her response.
"Could you tell us a story?"He questioned with pleading eyes as Clara stopped chewing her food for a while,faced her son then at her food.
"What kind of story do you want to hear?"She questioned still mouth-fulled.
"A story about you!"He grinned not realizing his mother's shocked face.
She was stunned for a while,trying hard to recollect her Son's words.
"What did you say??"She questioned in disbelief.
"I said....."
"Will you shut up there??"Angel cut him off rudely.
"It's alright!"Clara sighed interrupting the kids as she dropped her fork.
"How about you come to the dinning and I'll tell you a brief history of my life,if it so pleases you!"She added as the others who were so engrossing in the movie turned to face their mum.
"I want to hear it too!"Michael pouted,"sure,come on everyone"Clara smiled warmly as they all rushed to the dinning together with Angel who felt a little less concerned and reluctant.
"Alright,so I'm gonna tell you my life story and I hope you get a lesson from it!"She says staring at her eager kids whose ears where ready to get close to her mouth if it could except Angel who was so engrossed on her movie.
"Angel..eh...em!!"She cleared her throat attracting her attention as she continued,"This story is mainly for you Angel and I hope you listen attentively.. I've groomed you to this stage and you'll be leaving for university soon,I won't be there neither would your supposed future father!"Clara said making Angel drop her phone immediately.
"But mum...I already.."
"You don't know anything,not even quarter of it!"Clara interrupted her.
Angel sighed defeated as she folded her arms grimming.
"Alright everyone"She smiled staring at her little kids who were all eager to her story.
"My story goes like this......."
We parked newly to a town called Iyo-rong in Andoni,Rivers State and things turned upside down for our family.
We were quite rich when we lived in a more civilized town than this remote island. There was much famine which caused the high rate of theft, kidnappings, cultism, killing and all manner of audacious acts.
"Mum how.lomg would we stay here??"Francis the first son of Mr and Mrs Chima paulinus asked frustrated with the way things were.
Little Annabella, Clara, Helene, Isabella and Samuel just kept staring at the strange looking place looking puzzled.
They've never lived in such a house before.
Clara patter her younger brother Samuel to sleep in other to avoid disturbance while others packed.
Mrs Chima sighed pulling out her bag,"Honey don't worry...things would be fine,let's go in"She smiled warmly as the little boy still had a questioning look.
"But mum....."
"Enough of it Francis!"She cut him harshly trying hard to control her anger.
"Alright everyone, let's go in"Their father said from behind carrying their heavy bag of clothes.
They arranged everywhere as they all sighed in relief.
"I'll be going out to catch some games with new friends I made....maybe we could get something out of it"Mr Chima finally spoke standing up.
Mrs Chima nodded while the kids stared blanky at him.
He left while the kids faced their mum,"where is he going?"They asked in utmost unison.
"To work of course,he was transferred here still a corporal,you don't expect him to leave his job"their mum explained.
"Oh I see"Francis exclaimed resting himself back to the chair.
Clara stared as her mum for a while,she knew mum was lying a bit but there was no need asking because it was of no use and it could add more annoyance to her mum.
She walked to where Samuel laid and patted him gently to enjoy his sleep.
"Alright lemme prepare something for you guys to eat before your father arrives"Mrs Chima stated walking out of the room as she bumped into the landlord.
"Aww sorry, I didn't mean to!"She apologized immediately.
"Nah.nah,it's okay!"The old man swiped it off quickly as Clara rushed to see who her mum was talking to.
He seemed old but strong, Clara watched closed feeling irritated and scared at the sight of him.
"Hello kid?"He shone his brightly brown 32 as she shifted back due to the excess scent of snuff and alcohol.
She rubbed her nose with her index finger while the old man sought for a perfect opportunity to touch Clara.
Mrs Chima realising this interrupted them seeing her child's uneasy-ness,"uhm landlord how family nah??"
"Oh fine but I'm just alone now,my wife's dead while my children are abroad"He explained grinning.
Clara could see his alluring dark aura.
This man is so creepy!-She thought.
"Oh I see"Mrs Chima smiled,she pushed Clara in a bit before moving out closing the door before her.
Clara walked to an fro in the room,she could still feel the man's aura around the door post.
"What's he still doing there??"She questioned peeking on the wooden window,She could see his gritted face,his eyes shining like they would pop out of it's socket as his lips moved rapidly.
It felt like her was saying something.
"Oga land lord!!!"Her mother's voice interrupted the engrossed man sternly as he shook to the call.
"Ah,I'm leaving,I'm leaving"He staggered out immediately .
Mrs Chima walked to the door,stared at the old man who entered his own apartment in haste and fright.
She shook her shoulders in rejection,"God forbid! anything I don't know will never know me and my children"She whispered to her self walking in.
Clara rushed out of the window to s nearby seat before her mum could come in.
She could feel her mum was praying inwardly as she constantly shook her head.
Dinner the rice was ready and Mrs Chima dished out to her sux children while they all are to their fill awaiting their father's return.
*******
Mr Chima came with his friends chattering, they poured all kind of sea creatures into a bug basin as they selected it.
""Francis! Anna! Clara!!,you people should come outside oh,your dad is back!"Their mum yelled from outside as the kids rushed to them.
"Waoh.. gross!!"Anna exclaimed irritatedly as Francis yanked her head aggressively.
"As if you'll not eat it"Francis said.
"But it looks irritating"Clara chipped in.
"That's because it's direct from the sea,it's not yet selected...come one,join them..keep the fish, octopus, crayfish and prawns differently,don't let it stain your clothes too"Mrs Chima interrupted the kids as their faces turned into a squeeze.
They squatted selecting them alongside the older men who couldn't stop laughing and chatting.
Sooner, they were done as Mrs Chima cooked the octopus giving the older men to taste.The kids salivated over it watching them but couldn't taste it as their mother ended up giving them crab soup which they didn't find funny.
"Yikes! Is there no better flesh in this??, this is annoying"Annabel whined frustrated chewing the crab legs.
"It's created that way,stop complaining and eat it!"Francis said to her.
Clara just watched them argue,good thing she wasn't a selecter when it comes to food, everything always goes to the stomach and the useless one out through the anus.
She are her crab with less concern while her older sister whined and her elder brother mocking her.
They all are to their fill they evening as everyone departed to their various houses while the family went to bed together.
"Meow... meow..."Clara could hear some car strange sound as her eyes opened,she sprang up immediately but couldn't see anyone or a thing.
She laid down on the bed feeling uneasy.
"Meow....meow"it came again.
"The blood of Jesus!"She could hear her mother's scream as she felt her standing up.
She began praying lighting up the candles,Clara watched her mum pray.
Why must the sound come here huh??
This was the same demonic sound they heard in their former compound in town,why must it start here too??She thought
She didn't want to have anymore sleepless nights.
Their former compound was something else with nothing to write home about.
At night there was series of alarming scary noises,brightly flashy lights straying around the room, unexpected knocks on the gates and doors, this frightened everyone and it sometimes leads to general compound night vigil.
She didn't want that here,she wanted a peaceful night sleep!why must everywhere be tormented??!
Her mum prayed for quite a while which made the sound vanish as Clara fell asleep.
******Next day*****
Mrs Chima woke her six children up for prayes which they all did in perfect Harmony.
They greeted each other and set off for their morning chores.
"Landlord good morning...."Mrs Chima greeted the old man warmly as soon as she came out.
He turned to her angrily then back to what he was staring at.
"Ahh!what's wrong with him??"Mrs Chima murmured to herself,"landlord...."
"I don't need you greeting!ah ah!"He fired up angrily.
"Ah,are we quarreling??"She asked puzzled which made the old man stare at her angrily adjusting on his chair.
"Ha!,God please oh!"Mrs Chima sighed walking out .
They all did their morning chores and moved in to watch movie on their father's phone since there was nothing like power supply.
"All of you should listen!"Mrs Chima came in between their utmost happiness making Francis grumble.
"If you dare me and Rey that nonsense again I'll give you slap!"She warned Francis sternly,"sorry mum"came his apologetic response.
"You people should be careful in this compound,I'm going out now, let me see if I can find our church here too,maybe we'll attend and give this man some space"She explained and they all nodded.
"None of you should go out until I'm back,do you hear me?"She warned while they nodded.
"Good I'm going"She stated moving out immediately.
The kids exchanged looks and shrugged it out while they continued with their movie.
Suddenly,they heard a knock on the door,"who's in the house??"their landlord's voice came up.
Francis recognizing the voice stood to his feet but was immediately dragged down by Clara,"mum said we shouldn't go out remember??",She reminded as he thought for a while.
"So we should just ignore Jim??"Helene chipped in."Yes it's the best idea"Clara stated as Helene hissed rushing to door to open it before anyone could stop her.
"Ah,young baby!, I thought no one was at home,where is your other siblings??"The landlord, Mr Godfrey asked immediately.
"They're fine!"Helene replied flatly."alright that's good,just wanted to check up on you guys"He smiled pinching her cheek a little,"Good girl!"He patted her head before leaving.
"Seriously??"Helene are you okay??"Clara yelled at her as soon as she closed the door.
"He only came to check on us what's the big deal??"Helene huffed collapsing in their mini bed.
"Mummy warned us not to go out didn't she??"Francis voice came up.
"But he.."
"Will you keep quite?!"Annabella shushed her immediately with a hiss.
"I'm sorry"Helene whispered in guilt,she lowered her head fidgeting with the hem of her dress, "I'll still tell mummy!"Clara stated firmly as soon as she sat down.
Helene scoffed silently,Francis shook his head while Annabella just kept mute laying on the bed.
Their mum arrived sonner than expected as she entered,"why's th door not locked?"She questioned as soon as they all greeted her.
"Helene answered the landlord!"Clara blurted out.
"I don't understand"The woman stated.
"As you left,the landlord came and Helene answered him despite our warning"Clara explained as Mrs Chima glared at Helene,"what did I tell you people before leaving??"She questioned landing a hot slap on the girl's cheek.
She wailed,"I'm sorry mum....I"
"You what??"She interrupted immediately,"you people don't know who is who here and you're busy doing nonsense!"She yelled out.
"This should be the first and last time I'll get this report again"She warned sitting down.She opened the nylon she was with and brought out some fruits,"Francis get me a bowl with water and knife"She ordered still angry as she glared at Helene who was still whimpering and avoiding her gaze.
He rushed and got a bowl which his mum used in washing the fruit as she shared it accordingly among them.
Mrs Chima sat on the wooden bench selecting the dried melon,Francis walked up to her,"mum aren't we starting School?? we're two weeks late already"Francis stated which made his mother suspend what she was doing.
"You and your junior sister will start next week at Asarama"She explained.
"You guys are in secondary school already,it would be nicer there"She added.
"What about Clara, Helene, Isabella and Samuel??"He questioned further.
"Well Sammy is still a baby,Clara and Helene can move to the public school while Isabella can go to the nursery school close to the house"She answered."Oh"he muttered in dissatisfaction but shrugged walking out.
Clara who eavesdropped the whole time hissed in annoyance.
She was going to a public school?? Like what the heck??,she missed her friends,oh her girlfriend especially who did funny stuffs with her.
Ugh!!having new friends is boring!- She muttered to herself moving back inside.
*******Later that day****
Clara yawned stretching her body as she cleared her eyes,she turned and found her siblings still asleep.
Humph!
She scurried down to move outside due to the noise and laughter.She opened the door seeing her parents and dad's friend.
"Good afternoon mum,dad"She greeted yawning again,"hungry??"Her mum asked which got her smiling.
She turned to the man,"Good afternoon sir".
"Good afternoon girl,how are you??"
"I'm good"She responded strolling back inside walking towards the kitchen.
"The food inside the white plate is yours,don't touch the others!!"Her mum yelled from outside.
She pushed herself forward to the sink to wash the dirty plates,when she was done she took her food to eat.
"What are you doing??"She heard her brother's grumpy voice which got her startled
"Hmm??"She moaned hurriedly swallowing the food.
"I'm eating"She responded,"is that yours??"He asked admist yawning as he walked to get his own food.
"Yeah mummy said it's mine"She responded.
He hummed stuffing some amount of food in his mouth as he ate.
"Gosh!this daddy new pattern of fishing,I don't get it!this place sucks!"Francis poured out his frustration.
"I thought I'm the only human who hates here,no meat,no nice food always garri and fresh sea food, yuck! So damn annoying"Clara blurted out.
"But the fishes are kinda tasty though, especially that devil ray"She added smiling sheepishly.
"Yeah,kinda"He agreed sitting on the stool.
"I can't believe dad's transferred to this place, four years should be fast approaching please"Francis lamented.
"You're saying four years??,you'll not pray for miracle,two years is enough to stay in this damn shit!I hate it here"Clara protested which got Francis chuckling.
"Do you really hate it here huh??"He questioned.
"I do"She states firmly.
"Okay.... okay,it's well anyways"he added monching on his food.
Clara just stares at him smirking,"hungry pig"she murmured to herself walking away.
"Clara I'm hungry oh"Her little sister, Isabella whined sliding down from the bed,"Go to the kitchen then,big bro is there eating"She replied moving out.
*Anything to help with mum??"She questioned settling on a stool.
"Yeah,if you can but don't let the prawn hurt you"Her mother answered which made her scoff inwardly.
"No probs"She responded bending to to select the mixed fishes.
Her mum kept discussing with her father using their dialet which she understood perfectly unknown to them.
After a short while,a woman came in,"Ah ma'am you people are into this too??"She smiled warmly.
Mr Chima chuckled along side his wife,"when you're with the Romans,you act like one ....or I'm I wrong??"He questioned adjusting for her to sit on the bench.Mrs Chima sat on the wooden bench selecting the dried melon,Francis walked up to her,"mum aren't we starting School?? we're two weeks late already"Francis stated which made his mother suspend what she was doing.
"You and your junior sister will start next week at Asarama"She explained.

Mr Chima chuckled along side his wife,"when you're with the Romans,you act like one ....or I'm I wrong??"He questioned adjusting for her to sit on the bench.
"It is oh"She responded sitting down.
"Madam,how far now??, when are you bringing them? We have service today!"She asked.
"Oh we'll come on Sunday,since it's their first time,most of them are already asleep"Mrs Chima explained. "Oh"She mouthed.
"No problems then,I just said lemme check on you people before I leave"She added.
"Oh thank you, God bless you"Mrs Chima smiled warmly,"Alright I'll take my leave"She stood up.
"Fine girl,hope you'll come to church on Sunday??"She turned to Clara who gave an innocent look. "Yes I will"She responded sharply facing what she was doing,"okay then,bye!"She added walking away swiftly.
"Who's that?"Mr Chima asked.
"A deaconess from Assemblies of God Church,I met her some days ago when I was in search of church,since AG is the available church which is manageable here, I accepted to join her to know the location while she followed me to know the address"Mrs Chima explained.
"Oh I see"he replied concentrating on what he was doing.
"Good evening "They all heard the landlord's voice which made them raise their heads up,"oh Good evening Sir "Mr Chima replied warmly smiling.
"Good evening sir"Mrs Chima greeted flatly while Clara just stared at the skinny looking man.
"Are you guys selecting fish?"He questioned as he bent to touch Clara which she pushed immediately,"Ah! are we quarreling??"The man asked.
"Don't touch me"She warned sternly.
"Clara!!!"Her father called out,"don't you have respect??"He questioned.
"Clara go inside"Her mother's voice came up before she could defend herself.
She ran swiftly without any further delay,slamming the door behind her. She could see the old man's annoyed face which was a visible grim.
He walked away without any further discussion while her both parents quarreled over what happened.
She sighed falling on the bed,she hated it when her parents quarreled.
Helena crawled up to the bed,"Hey!"She called out which got Clara's attention,"mm??"came her response.
"What happened?"She asked.
"Nothing happened,just a minor issue"She replied sighing heavily.
"Hmm minor issue?.."Helene pressed on.
"Helene!!"Clara half yelled giving her the face of 'don't ask me another stupid question'.
"Sorry"Helena apologized immediately getting the signal before she bares the consequences.
Clara sighed staring into thin space.
"Uhm Maxwell would be coming to stay with us"She could hear father's voice from inside as her eyes widened in shock.
What??!!!!!
"Meaning??"She heard her mother opposing voice.
"Listen now....my brother couldn't handle him so..."
"Is it not his son??"Mrs Chima attacked.
"I think when that bit was with us we were hearing series of complain and you want to still bring him back??"Mrs Chima added.
"It's my brother were talking about"Mr Chima defended,"please keep it to yourself "She interrupting sharply.."your brother,your brother,you'll still be receiving insults,u5s that one part of family again?? She asked no one in particular.
"Woman hold it!,leave my family out of this!" Mr Chima fires up.
"And when did I add them??"She questioned back.
"I'm warning you now"He kept pointing fingers on her.
Clara heaved a deep sigh,soon they'll start fighting and exchanging words It has become their daily routine.
She turned sideways closing ber eyes to get a good rest as she drifted away once again.
*******
Clara cleared her eyes getting up as she stretched her lungs widely.She cleaned her eyes with the back of her palm before opening them.
Huh??-She stared around examining the area.
It was uncompleted building and she was on the bare ground.
She stood abruptly walking to the door post as her eyes scanned the place,it caught a cross like wooden stick on the ground,it was at that moment she realised she was in a grave yard.
She gasped rushing out of the room immediately but everywhere seemed so quite and cold,she turned back to the room but it was no longer there,just bare walls.
She turned backwards, everywhere seemed so dark with no ending point as she shivered in fright.
She kept moving forward but every room she came across where graveyard.
She panicked fighting her way out as she whimpered.
What exactly is happening?? She gazed around searching for an escape to no avail.
"Clara.... Clara!!"She could hear her mother's voice,"mum??"She called out,everywhere becoming blurry like she was fainting.
"Clara wake up!"Keep mother yelled out as she sprang up immediately sweating all over.
"Ah ah!what happened?"Mrs Chima asked sitting next tor her daughter.
Clara who was furiously sweating used her clothes to wipe them off,"I'm fine mum"came her response vividly remembering the dream.
She didn't want to bother her mum,besides it was of no use- She thought.
"Are you sure??"Mrs Chima pressed on.
"Yes "she replied nodding,"alright"She patted her getting up,lemme prepare something for you guys to eat then,you can go back to rest"She added getting up while Clara hummed and laid back on the bed folding her legs.
Gosh! It was a dream!- Her head screamed loudly.
She closed her eyes sighing deeply,"it is well".
