WHERE MY FAME CAME FROM

The worst painful memory I would carry in my life is the one with the day I longed to be famous. At first I was I child at home who had most of the chores done while my siblings would sit and watch me work all the time. My mom would call me her favourite child and that all this hard work would make me great person in future. The truth is she Only said it to make me feel better. The only chore of the day I liked was to be sent to the shops and when I got there I would sit down and watch television from Mr yeti's shop.The only chance I had to watch television because of my siblings who never gave me a chance to. I watched celebrity shows and fashion shows. I watched the shows only to get a tip of how to become famous but all I got was believe in yourself, don't give up, and let the world hear your voice. All I wanted was to become the young rich and famous teen at 13. I joined a acting club at school so I could improve my acting skills and the worst part is that I never got a chance to play. One day after school I saw a poster written about a new ground show on Thursday I went home with the poster and showed it to my mom she agreed we will go together as a family. On the day of the show there were various activities going on and for that we were given money ? to spend on what we want by our dad . My siblings went on with there friends and my classmates were riding a rollercoaster I couldn't because I was afraid of heights. I walked around the show there were clowns, magicians and the voodoo people. I went to a fortune teller and she asked me to go to a Voodoo I was excited that day. when I got to the voodoo she asked me my name and I said my name is cloudy,. The voodoo said U want to be famous right and I replied yes mam she giggled a bit and said do U know what it takes for you to be famous I replied no mam she smiled and stopped and said just your soul and I asked if I give you my soul I will be famous, she replied yes my dear. The vodoo looked serious, I think she didn't care about your age the fact that she said she needs my soul gave me goosebumps. I asked her wait how did U know I want to be famous, and why do you need only someone's soul . She stood up and went to her book shelf , she smiled and looked at me .I am a voodoo I can see what a person wants and right now U want to be famous right. I replied yes mam. U see I don't have a heart whether you are young or old I just give U what U want and U will have to suffer the consequences by paying the final price of regret. “regret" I asked. well maybe. “I just trade with a soul I don't need money" she said. “so do I have die to sell my soul "I asked. No just do this..... I woke in the next day in a very big bed. two women came to me with food trolleys, calling me mam. All of a sudden. I got up and ran into the bathroom it was so big, painted in pink and it was the size of our house back in the village. I looked in the mirror and I realised my dreams came true I went out of the bathroom and ran down the stairs they made a curve as I went down. The the two women dressed in aprons won't stop chasing me but I also couldn't stop myself from running around due to the excitement. The living room was much bigger than our village house and the kitchen had four chefs working in it. They smiled and greeted me. I finally stopped and the other woman named Mary came and told me I was going to get late for the contract. what contract". I asked." the movie contract"she replied." oh I now remember" I said but I don't know anything at all. I went to dress up and I ate a lot of foods I never tasted. We went outside and the car we drove in was big and I also had body guards.We finally arrived the house we were going to was very big it looked like a king's palace. The gate opened and we went in. The man welcomed man and my g**g he was a fat man with curly hair he was an average sized person. We went inside his house which was very big, we sat down and the short man came with papers for me to sign he said it was a contract of the new upcoming movie which I would be involved in. I signed the papers and I got my scripts,the short man lead me to the other side where I met other actors we were training for the new movie : after we collide :. Actually the short man was Mr ray the director and producer of the movie. After three hours of training we left for home. I asked the driver to take me to my parents home. We arrived and the place was different it wasn't our real home I asked the driver whose home is this," your parents " he replied ." but my parents live at the village" I said. Suddenly a woman came out of the house. she smiled and said cloud come on in my dear . That woman wasn't my mom, "that's not my mom" I told the driver. "what! but that's your mother"he said." what! my mom is at the village" I said . "Cloud that's your mother , are U okay" the driver said. the woman came to me and took me inside and I was still surprised. The driver stood outside of the door as we were in the house "You are not my real mom right"I asked." Yes you paid me to be your mother remember or you came to cut off the deal" she replied. " what when did I do that " I asked. "You don't remember the first time you got famous cloud." she said. "I think I have to go I'll see you soon" I said I left the house and went into the car and my heart kept on raising. The driver took me to an unknown house after an hour's drive. The house was wrecked and old. " whose house is this" I asked I don't know you usually come here every end of the 6th month.he said . "What do I do when um here" I asked." I don't know " he replied. I came out of the car and went inside of the house the house was really old after 25 yards of walking I heard a voice from the corner." Come this side cloud" it said.I went to the direction the voice was calling. after I took four steps close a woman wearing red and black was sitting on a chair. she smiled and said You did a good job last time but the sacrifice wasn't good enough to meet the king's need. "what good job" I asked putting on a serious face." You bought a sacrifice last time remember, U bought four souls to our kingdom remember"she said ." No no no no I don't steal people's souls um a Christian I don't kill people so you must be mistaken" I said smiling " oh din't you sell your soul" she asked. No I didn't I was in the process of doing that but nothing happened so I don't steal people's soul's. " Oh since now you know our secret I don't think there is a reason we will let you live right." she said."what are you talking about"I asked. Don't worry U will see"she said. so we're you sure I was the one who made sacrifices" I asked. No now I can see where the problem is, you can leave she said. I left the house with a clean heart and I kept asking myself why did she say I brought. souls to her, what was she talking about those were the questions that ran into my mind as we were driving back to the big house. We arrived and I went into the house to take a bath. I closed my eyes and I started thinking about my mom and my siblings. The next day an Oldman came into my house begging for water and food me and my house stuff gave him water and food we even bought him clothes. When he was about to take his leave he said to me I can see you are lost. what are you talking about sir" I asked with a serious face. he replied yes you are lost you need to find yourself first. he left I asked my driver to take me to my old house were I used to live with my parents. To my own mind I thought they would have died by now but I managed to meet them. I actually saw my mother going into the living room, I ran to the house to hug my mom but she pushed me away. She asked who are you? “mom it's me cloud", I replied. “Cloud? cloud died two years ago I mean my cloud died two years ago and you young lady don't come here and act like daughter,”she said. “What mom no it's me cloud your cloud how can you be upset with me all of a sudden we were together at the fair the night before yesterday remember ?”, I said picking up my self from the floor. “really! the night before yesterday if I take a recall I was home that day”, she said “no mom you have to remember okay look I know you are upset with me but I can fix everything," I said. she gave me the I don't know you look but I keep my mind positive that she was only upset with me. “okay cloud we went to the fair two years ago and you should go find yourself a therapist or something because you are losing your mind,"she said as she threw shade's me. “wait mum what? you mean you don't remember the night of the fair show the day before yesterday ?," I asked. “ you are really loosing your memories and I am still upset with you because after you gained your wealth you forgot about us and you even told the media you were an orphan ," she said shaking her head as she talked to me, she really looked upset and sad. “ I mean how could you forget about me cloud? me your mother ( she started crying) you were my favourite child cloud ,". “(I lost my mind for a second) I was your favourite child ? you never loved me mom you always loved JoJo, Mia and carrot you never let them work and I was so fed up with you, dad and the others I always waited for my fame to come so I could get my revenge ," I said but I realised that I did a lot of harm. My mom gave me hot slap that left me lying on the floor “get out,"she ordered “i wish you were never my mother," I said as I picked my self from the ground. I heard a big bang of the door as my mom shut the door behind me, I ran to the car and my driver drove me straight home. “ Soo you lied about your..," the driver almost asked “don't even think about it," I told the driver. my mind was running wild and tears strolled down my eyes realising the harm I caused to my mom. Plus the fact that the night of the fair happened two years ago made things worse. I went home to take a deep sleep but I realised that I was not sleeping , I was in another place that looked creepy. I was wearing a black robe and I was holding a calabash in my hand and I was standing in a Que . All of a sudden I was pushed my some man who looked dark and creepy, I decided not to fight back. “move," the man ordered. I asked the man in front of me why we were walking in the dark with a calabash in our hands “shut up do you want to get whipped you came here on your own ," the man said with a rough voice .I decided to wait and see what was going to happen, I decided to pray for a while.“hey stop that,” the man ordered as he pushed me.“ don't push me what's wrong with you I din't do anything ," I told the man. he kept quiet and I moved I continued with my prayer this time the man din't push me he pulled me to the front of the line. I was really shaking and I kept loosing my breath instantly plus the man's hand on my shoulders was rough and strong, I could not set myself free. The muscular guard men took me to the far front he ordered me not to do anything funny. I heard the man say finish up with this small one she is causing us trouble. I then asked myself who was he talking to, the man from the inside of the cave called out NEXT in a harsh cold rough voice. I went inside and I saw nothing but a black human like figure sitting on the floor with legs crossed. My heart Started to pound and my throat became dry I started shaking at every single step I took .“Bring the calabash," the human figure like thing ordered with the voice that echoed the cave. I handed the calabash to the figure thing he opened the calabash and all of a sudden he looked disappointed. “what is this ,"he asked raising his voice.“ I swallowed hard and said umm..ahhh... that's the calabash sir. “ were are the souls," he asked standing up on his feet. I stepped back and said I don't know but there were in there they might have a escaped I started breathing hard. The figure called the other figure like thing which I could also not see it's face. “BOW DOWN TO YOUR KING," the messanger figure thing said and everyone who was in the lane bowed I was the only one standing. I could not even bow down I was still deciding which one of my head voices I should follow. I decided to not bow down because I believed in God as the only king. “LITTLE KID BOW DOWN TO YOUR KING ," the voice ordered “no I won't bow down," I said trying to act strong. The people in the lane where gasping and whispering with there heads down.“You will bow down little kid,"the messanger grabbed my neck and threw me to the ground. I started shaking and breathing high “GOD WILL BURN THIS PLACE DOWN WITH FIRE ," I SAID acting brave and everyone started shaking for a moment there calabashes broke to the ground. By then I felt brave and I smiled , all of a sudden the people started chasing me I tripped and fell then they threw themselves on-top of me. “Wake up cloud," my driver kept on shaking me all of a sudden I opened my eyes I was shaking, sweating and I was coughing hard. One of my maiden's Sarah gave me water to drink. “give her space, give her space she ordered my house hold workers who were surrounding me. After some moments of breathing I told everyone I was alright and that they could leave. “what happened ,"he asked me “i was being attacked," I told him “it was just a dream U are okay now," my driver said and uhm...look if you need any help I would be right here ," he continued “ okay I will ," I said and he left. I knew one thing that the dream I had was reality because the scars I had on my body were real .I kept asking myself what was I doing at such a dark place. I spent the day in the bedroom trying to write down all the events which were taking place. I was clueless on how can things happen on like this. I could not do this on my own so I decided to call my driver for help. “i have to tell you something sir I really need help because um not supposed to be here," I said “i don't understand what you mean," my driver said “i mean the night before yesterday I was at the fair with my parents and I went to a Voodoo I was about to sell my soul to her but something else happened that I don't remember well and I woke up like this," I gave him a weak smile as I said. “ ahhh.... I don't understand what you are trying to say because you have been here for the past 2 years," the driver said giving me a weird look. “i know that's what I am trying to explain please listen to me my mom said the night of the fair happened two years ago but it was the day before yesterday", I said “okay maybe you are losing your memories ",he said “oh come on really (throwing my hands in the air) I knew it", I said I decided to make the story short by showing him the scars I got from my dream that's when he agreed to help me and believe me. We decided to go to find a voodoo to seek help. The first voodoo's we came across had no idea maybe they were fake voodoo's. We finally met one voodoo who was named sherlot. I told her everything that happened she smiled and said interesting, we sat down to listen.The voodoo told me the least I expected she said the night of the fair I was not able to sell my soul because I was protected and I was sent to my future to fix everything. She also said that for the past 2 years I gave people's souls as sacrifice so I could be More richer and famous.
