"Nne wake up !, wake up!"the voice said quietly I felt a soft tap on my back , I could barely open my eyes , I was really sleepy . "Wake up nne !, I open my eyes and saw my sister sitting beside me , I looked at the time it was 1:30am.. "What is it udo ? I asked , I was very upset , but I didn't want her to know because the day before was her 10th birthday and today was my 20th birthday so maybe she wanted to wish me a happy birthday like she always did for the past 6years... "I heard a strange noise from the sittingroom ,"she said , I could feel the shivering in her voice , "it might be bisi , you know she likes watching late night movies"i said, bisi is our maid she has lived with us even before udo was born so she's like one of my family member she has been offered to be sent to school by my mother but she refused and said that going to school is a waste of time and money that she should rather be given the money .. "Its not bisi, she is sleeping in her room "she said, I was scared already, immediately we heard the sound of breaking glasses, I became more frightened , I held my sister's hand and got up from my bed , I asked her to lie so I would check what was happening, udo held back my hand ,"nne stay back , lets wait , something bad might happen to you"she said innocently "don't worry I will just check" I closed the door behinde me and walked down the hallway , then entered the kitchen and carried the pestle I held it strongly , I was already praying for courage and strength , or I could just hide myself...as I entered the dinning from the kitchen, I saw my mother in the sittingroom breaking glasses , she was dropping them one by one the floor, I stood aside behind the wall watching her .
