POOR LITTLE RICH ME.

Introduction: When I woke up, the house was all quiet not even the noisiest chicken in the house, koko was her name, she was my jumping partner since my siblings were way older than me. “My name is Angelica, a last born in a family of five, two brothers and two sisters, I have grown in abundance and always surrounded by joy. Whenever I needed anything, someone was there to fulfill it, my brothers were so overprotective of me, while my sisters loved dressing me, even when just indoors that’s the lifestyle I knew, the magic I loved is that things would just happen for me, all I needed was to wake up and step out of my bedroom, breakfast would be on the table, later one of my sisters would help me with bathing and dressing, time to time my brothers would take me out with them for shopping or just drive around lazily.” 1. The silence was too loud, at least one of my brothers loved scaring koko and she would try jumping around making lots of noise but today something was a miss….. I stepped out of my bedroom, I peeped downstairs and no trace of anyone, not even breakfast on the table, I called out  and no response came. I thought they were planning maybe to surprise me or just a plank. I went to all bedrooms and beds weren’t made, this never happens!!! I went to the garage and two vehicles were missing, how can my family go without me, am the baby of the house and most loved one, what happened that they forgot about me? I sat there rehearsing the faces I will give them once they are back, minutes turned into hours and hours into a whole day, I was hungry and went to look for something to eat as I waited for my family. After getting in the kitchen I realized I didn’t know how to cook anything but thankfully there were cereals which I mixed with cold milk. As I took my  third  bite, I remembered that I haven’t checked my phone, maybe they have been trying to reach me, I raced to my room and didn’t like the way it was untidy, am used to being greeted by fresh scent , open curtains and windows, well made bed and clothes arranged. However I didn’t bother at the end of the day my sisters will come and fix my mess, on reaching  for my phone I was surprised there wasn’t any missed call, I tried calling all their numbers and none went through, “so they can go out to have fun and leave me behind, worse isto even switch off their phones?” so I thought aloud. I went to the mirror and practiced the meanest face I could pull, so when they come back they will know how furious I was. Due to disappointment and anger I went in my hide out tent which was in a secret room no one knew of apart from my family , I covered myself, before I realized it I was fast asleep, I woke up the following day around 11 am due to hunger pangs. 2. When I opened my eyes I was surprised that I was still in my hide out and this got me so annoyed, so my BELOVED family  came back and nobody bothered to check on me after leaving me behind!!!! no one cared, I decided I will not talk to anyone that day, how dare they? I dragged myself out and when I got in my room, I was surprised how a mess it was, everything was everywhere, i got more annoyed, instead of arranging my room they messed it up more, my clothes were on the floor, the mattress hanging on the side of the bed, I headed for the door very furious, I first went to my parents bedroom and the same sight greeted me, this got me confused, I checked all the rooms including the two guest rooms and it was all the same. Fear now gripped me, something must be wrong no one around and on top things seemed messier, I run back to my room in order to get my phone, I searched for it everywhere to no avail by this time I was really hungry, I decided to first eat something as I clear my head on where I had kept my phone. Getting in the kitchen, I found more mess, the fridge open with some things on the floor, who was responsible for this mess? I didn’t give it much thought I just proceeded and reached for my cereals which was almost over since most of it was on the floor, the milk had spoiled because I forgot to put it back in the fri……. but wait I did who  removed it from the fridge? Anyway, I had to eat dry cereals which I took down with some water from the tap, which has never happened, water from the tap was only for washing utensils and cleaning but there wasn’t any water on the dispenser. 3. I saw an apple in the fridge and reached for it, while munching, I thought to myself, was my family trying to prank me? Were they trying to see if I can clean up after myself? This thought got me more energized, I decided am up to the challenge…. So with that new energy I started by arranging the fridge, it was so tiring but I was determined, I cleared the  dining which was just the dish I had used the previous day and today, after gathering the trash, I headed for the dust bin on opening it, I jumped up in a shriek due to the sight I saw, feathers!! That’s koko’s feathers? I checked again and saw her head…. Who slaughtered her and where is her body? Someone ate Koko?  I run upstairs through my room to my hideout room to check if I left my phone there but it wasnt there, I went back to my room and turned it more upside down looking for my phone all this time I was in tears, that’s when I saw something more shocking than what I had seen down stairs….. A note!! I reached for it, it was written, “you lucky brat, be thankful we didn’t find you, be sure of one thing you will never see your wrenched family again, we will roast them one by one just like that chicken, you are an i***t to have such delicious meat for a pet” What? So it wasn’t a plank? Someone really ate Koko and on top want to roast my family? I cried out of desperation and fear what do I do? Where do I go? Who has my entire family? I was just nine years old but someone needed to do something but who is this someone? With fear, agony, anger, I realized this someone was me… Me?
