After eating my dinner I went to lay down and sleep when I heard my mom tell her younger sister that glory can stay with us .which I learnt by the way that ,that was the girls name, at least she can't throw their youngest sister who is late "child" to the girl's neglective father..and after their discussion glory came into the the room (in the main house) which I was laying on the floor with my mat and wrapper..I welcomed her with a smile and and ask her,her name officially which she answered 'GLORY 'sweetly . I was so happy that I have someone I could play with and call my sister and share things with not knowing that I just entered my doom ..the next day my mom younger sister left which I was greatful for, glory bland up quickly and start school ,and one year later three more kids joined us still my mom younger brothers kids , Stephanie was my age mate born the same month one day apart,and then Emmanuel and Jane the same age mate  but month apart ..funny right ,ok let me tell u about them.. Stephanie:her mom was the girlfriend of my mom's younger brother and she give birth to her and her brother and got married to someone else or say stayed with another man Cox no  official marriage recorded with the man and she has nine kids crazy right? And Stephanie and her brother who later was staying with my mom eldest sister who was a teacher by the way and also strict,too I don't know if been extremely strict is their logo .. anyways that's after they fought with the woman for their brothers kids which she didn't give in easily but later did...

Emmanuel: the youngest brother to my mom son,his dad got one of his eyes blinded  when he was a kid through robber bund and his wife died giving birth to Emmanuel..sad right ?all of them got their own story but this is my story intertwined with theirs. Now enough of the introduction back to my story ,now we all leave together Glory started been a b***h my best friend was now hers she started cooking up things I didn't do and then tell my mom and friend about it which would many times get me the beating of my life and make do things for her and if something go wrong she would say it was me and then earn me another beating.. because she saw the other kids worm up to me then her..she and my ex best friend will always find a way to mock me about my weakness and failure ,she always try to get the other kids away from me but they still play with me ,this got her annoyed more but she didn't usually show it,I normally go to self feasting and praying sometimes Cox I am real church girl leading the children's choir Cox I love singing it makes me feel at peace,when ever am feasting my mom would tell glory that I should work much on the farm Cox am feasting so I wouldn't get weak easily,i.e when we are going to the farm and am feasting Cox it's just two of us that normally goes to the farm Cox the other kids are young and can't go so Stephanie normally keeps eye on them when we are gone to the farm ,but you know what Glory normally makes me work more then her and no food sometimes after work we will walk miles to get the nearest water supply which was a river by the way and miles again to take our farm produce to get a van to transport us and our goods,eg firewoods and cassava,yams etc..this goes on and on ,.and yet I still kept the smile and hard the pain somewhere ,the I started noticing the change in my mother little bit by bit,she started shouting at little things I do,beat me up and make me go without food for days..and I will sometimes steal her money which I never did before just to eat at school in my eyes I wonder what am turning into and when my dad comes to visit as usually my mom will tell him what and what I didn't do when he wasn't around and he will shout at me sometimes beat me up again...my started refusing to buy me clothes always say I misuse the clothes she normally brought for me which is by the way extremely cheap..and I will where them church, school and people always laugh at me even my class mates Cox of the shapeless uniform I always wear.. I was in basic 5 when another terrible event happened ..I got home one day and find Glory and beauty talking to Emmanuel secretly I saw them and just walk past them and want into the room I was too tired that  from school to think about those two she devils and their problems wondering what they are up to this time putting that innocent child into so I thought,and was having an headache from the stress in work...later in the evening my mom came back from work I greeted her the way I used to,she seat in the seating room looking at some peper work when Glory and beauty came to the seating room with Emmanuel asking to speak with her alone and she said I should give them some privacy,I left them thinking what might be wrong or should I say what's their plan this time around and why demanding privacy with Mom weird don't you think too.. about almost 30mins later Emmanuel called me that mom was calling me I followed him getting there I got the worse news of my life,my mom said "Emmanuel said I possessed him with witchcraft"that if he tell anyone I would kill him ,that he was afeard to speak up till Glory and beauty force asked him why he was always around me and he told them that.she ask me while looking at me with hot anger ...is everywhere spinning or it just my eyes and ears playing tricks on me with my mouth wide open with sock and tears rolling down my eyes ,God what did I do to deserve this that was my mind asking me...this is trouble..
