I was still very shock as to what I just heard,I was trying to hold myself so I wouldn't fall down trying to process this strange question with everyone looking at me to get anwers and Glory was giving me the eye to dare to deny it ,my mom asked again this time standing up to hit me if I did say something immediately, what came out from my mouth was it's a lies and am not a witch please believe me I don't have any Idea of what he is saying please,my mom look at me with fury in her eyes how can a small boy let this lie a thing like that and his just 3years old and u deny that she said trying to get the truth from me and all I was saying was that it was all false allegations on me with hot tears coming down my eyes with splitting headache in my head can't think straight and all I was saying looking at the boy was I did u do this to me .my mom immediately tell me to get out of her sight I ran out to my store room and I cried and cried asking myself what did I did wrong to deceive all this and I kept that till I gradually fall asleep with good dreams I didn't want to wake up from,I was woken up by heavy knock on my door ,yes!! I answered slowly and the voice behind which I know too well was my mom's,get out here now she shouted !!! And I slowly opened the door seeing her much angry then before or worse,she said to me from today onwards no food for you,and ur work in the farm and this has doubled and all other kids in this house are restricted form be seen with u ever still u tell the truth,I answered yes Mommy and she shouted get to it will you ,I ran outside to meet with mischief eyes of Glory and her cohort to my mom she was the most hardworking girl she has ever seen and the two are so close to themselves and like Yan and yen .in this period i always get beaten by any slit thing I do and this beating is that she would tell me to go into her room with my clothes off and with just panties and then she will come into the room and lock the door behind her bring out wipes and start floging me hard I sometimes run under her bed for safety but she will use my panties to drag me out and beat me hard till I will almost passout then she would leave me and go out my panties I always tie them with rope Cox of it's slick and falling down from my weast Cox of her always dragging me with them and are all my clothes,and anyone that sees this always laugh at me,and only few feel sorry for me about it and still no food in my stomach and was very weak with no one to talk to and my dad not helping and still believing the lies but I know he loves me deep down and he can't show it Cox his wives are the one feeding him and the house rent he collects from his house in the city where he lives with his third wife, don't get me wrong he was very rich man way before I was born he had his first wife then but she give birth to four girls and no boy ,you Know African's value male child more in a family especially in a royal family Cox the male will carry on with his father's name not the girl who will be married off to another man and bearing that man's name not her father's name so u see this is trouble as people and his mother pressurize to get married to more wives he can have a son to carry on his name and he got married to my mom and mistaking impregnated a girl and the girl's father said he most marry her or he will kill my dad which that's was how he got married to a third wife,and the first wife left him Cox she can't take it anymore from him and left her beautiful daughters for him and married another man but u know what she give birth to boys for her new man before she sadly die...my dad love his daughters especially his first daughter which his other wives weren't so happy about it and soon he started neglecting his daughters and facing his new kids fours boys from his wives and daughters too only God knew how the first wife's daughters Carter for themselves that's a story I will tell u later as time goes on and my dad got betrayed by his business partner which lead them to court and he started selling almost everything he has for the case his lawyer died during this period and he lost almost everything leaving him with just his house,some lands in the village and a house in the village too that's how he end up being a gambler not wanting to rise up again just there leaving his wives to take care of their kids alone and feeding him what a man u can say,now back to me I was so hungry then I thought to myself if I should stay like this no one will help me I had to eat so I made the craziest decision in my life that will change everything in my life I had to lie so I could eat so I went to her she was inside her room relaxing so I told her mum I have something to tell you set goal agreed to what they said it's the truth I'm a witch I continue telling her all and all sorts of things that was convincing even to myself in my head I was wondering how can I keep up with all these lies and she believed them and told me I would have said this since avoid all this trouble she told me that I should go and eatthat she will talk to me later I was happy in my mind and sad too because I've given glory what she wanted I have to continue lying to cover lies that has ruined my life, and glory was happy about this in fact happy was an understatement she would refer to me with every accident or incident that happened to anyone that I'm b cause of it find to kill them so I could hide my identity as a witch, she tormented me day and night stop stop and sometimes I cry about this, what am I to do I'm just a child, don't with to defend me,my mum's daily routine now was to call Emmanuel and me for daily interrogation sometimes in the middle of the nightand I have to keep up with the lies in emmanual was saying so that it will appear I don't want to go for Deliverance sometimes I had to act the part for it to be more convincing and later go to my store room and cry till I sleep off my mum continue her interrogation to help the pastor that is going to deliver us more information now that's another case entirely I have to really act the part if I'm lying I might as well act it and the day that all of us have been waiting forto travel and see the pastor on our way to see him not knowing that it's another trouble that's waiting for memy mum had to do this to convince my family and people around that she cares about me a lot and my dad especially to uphold her reputation in the family now you see how this is important for her now in the pastor's house I don't know if he's real or not but this is going to be a tough one...
