Happenings In The Dark

Long before now I never liked my room, but now seeing a sealed box with a scary inscription on it just heightened my fright.

Who dropped such a thing in this place.

I felt so useless, like as though I am between the devil and the Sea, Outside I have no place, inside I am homeless.

Still my Stomach kept crying for Food.

Come to think of it are rats not edible?

All sorts of ideas went in and out of my head, but I kept wondering what that inscription mean and why Here.

When you go in search of answers, the answers you get end up becoming Questions you need answers to, and then the circle continues.

I looked up as though I was trying to commune with spirits to give me answers because at this point I was blank..

"Daisy are you ok?" the woman said.

"Am fine ma" I was very careful of my statement as I do not want to annoy her.

Then it happened; my stomach began singing. I felt so embarrassed because I knew I was starving.

"Let me get you something" she stood up insisting on getting me something to eat.

As she stood up she got a call and acted differently.

"Excuse me" she walked away from me and started acting strange.

What if she is on the phone with Rakas and his team?

What if they are already coming?

I used my hands to clean the sweat already forming on my face.

The Woman kept screaming on the phone but I couldn't just get what she was saying.

How on Earth did I get here?

Probably I should tell the security about everything.

But if I leave my dad, she might kill him.

Ok..

Daisy be calm, stop panicking.

You are just over reacting.

I ended up sweating so much now. It was so clear I was afraid.

She is coming!

"I apologize for that, it is just business" she said trying to give a fake smile.

"No problem" I gave an even faker smile.

Let it be a fake smile competition.

"So where do you think your mom could be and why not go and file a missing person report for her" she spoke looking so concerned for my mom.

"I have no idea ma, I am just blank" I couldn't help but say it as I have been holding it all in. Just don't know whether she is the right person to say it to.

"Alright then let's look for her together"

"O---k" what have I just done!

The day was getting dark and there has not been any sign of mom. I looked around my room trying to flash my mind back to how this room was before all these happen.

A girl's hideout, a place where the neighbors and I would gossip all.

It was fun to come here because you are free to be your own Queen in your mini palace. With your toys as your royal servants. A smile came on my face and I think that it is the only genuine smile I had since today began.

Foot steps were approaching the door.

She is coming.

I braced myself because anything could happen.

The door was flung open and all she did was throw Ash into the room.

"I have told him to keep you company" she spoke and shut the door back.

No one needed to tell me what that meant, because I for one knew that mom had summoned a spirit into it. Now it is a big mouthed possessed toy monkey.

I looked at it, it looked back. The room now became thicker, I just finished seeing a scary box underneath my bed and to add to that my only toy has been possessed.

Talk!

I spoke out to it, at least I have seen a lot already so I wasn't surprised.

It simply kept quiet as though it was still lifeless.

"I know you can hear me" To the outside world I might already be going insane but this is my reality and I have accepted my fate. So if talking to a possessed monkey means me having a company in this scary room then let the conversation begin.

It still kept quiet, no movement whatsoever.

Ahhhhhh!

Can life get worst, here I am handcuffed, imprisoned, mentally unstable and physically weak. Ask me what could be worst, though I know what would be better, DEATH.

I stared at it expecting anything but nothing happened, all it did was lay lifeless.

After so much time, I grew tire and decide to lay down.

It was hard to turn with the handcuffs, the sky was fully dark, as the moon gave no light . Suddenly I started hearing footsteps, like as though we were two in the room.

I knew it has woken up, I was not just ready to look back.

It kept walking around, I turned and there was my toy monkey standing like a man. Now it looks at me face to face.

What do I say at this point? I simply stared back at it.

"I am looking for mi casa" its words echoed through the room, just like the voice of so many person.

"What do you mean by mi casa?" I had to have the courage to ask back.

"My box" it spoke trying to walk towards me.

"Wh--at d-o you mean by your box?" I said Trying to shift back from it.

"My box, my home" it's words became thicker and more scary.

I pointed to the scary box I saw beneath the bed.

"There"

It looked around and walked towards my bed, it still amazes me how it walks on stuff legs.

It got to the bed and check out the box.

"Mi casa" it turn to look at me.

"Thank you but please come help me open it" its eyes were full of rage and I wasn't ready to open that scary box.

"No I won't" let me still have little courage.

"Please don't make me angry because you won't like me" its look became more furious as though it had to vent its anger.
