I grew up in a family of four and I was the first child . which meant that I had to take care of siblings whilst my parents worked, my parents were workaholics. Who cared less about their children, their biggest focuse was work. However being a mother to my siblings didn't hinder me from enjoying my young days, until this one night . A night that I will never forget ,a night that scared us all.
It was the 24 of June , late at night and i was home with my young siblings , a four year old girl , two 7 year old twin boys and a 2year old baby girl and i was 12 at the time. That same night my four year old sister who was sitting in the living room with my other siblings came to me in the kitchen where I was cooking and said " Kelly I don't feel okay". Since my parents were never around, i learnt from YouTube on what to do when a child is sick and what the sickness is. Hearing this i touched my sisters forehead to check her temperature,realizing that she was hot. I gave her water and some medication that my mom drank when ever she had fever ,assuming that she had a cold. After drinking the medication i carried her to the sofa and placed a pink blanket on top of her for her to rest. The minute she got on top of the sofa she immediately closed her eyes. My mom was a Chromatophilia so the living room was bright with yellow couches with some few interior designs that add to the small cathode ray tube television that was placed on top of a glass table with a long and blue Velvet pile carpet on the floor that matched the Livid colour on the wall and a wooden small table in between the TV and couches.
After placing my sister to rest i went back to cooking in the kitchen and after spending ten minutes in the kitchen . I went back to the dinning room to check on my sister's temperature , who was still sleeping and to my luck her temperature decreased drastically to it being cold . This change in temperature made me relieved and as relieved as I was ,I never thought that the worst would come. So I went bck to the kitchen to continue with the cooking and when I was done with the cooking. I dished up for us to eat and my sister was still sleeping so I didn't wake her up. After a while my siblings went to sleep leaving me and my sister who was still sleeping in the sofa. Time went by and it became midnight and my parents weren't yet back and I was also falling asleep. I decided to wake my sister up so she can go to bed and I can also sleep.
Standing up from the sofa towards my sister's side of the sofa , that was opposite mine. I felt a bit dizzy and ignored it, i tapped my sisters body waking her up but she didn't respond to the tap.So I continued tapping her with my hand and still got no response , this made me worried .However more was yet to come, so I tried lifting her body up for her to wake up and she still didn't respond.
In fear of what I thought, I checked if she was breathing and as I thought my sister was dead. I froze in disbelief , with nothing but tears watering my face . I couldn't move nor speak or do anything but stare at my sister's corpse and as i fall on my knees weakened by the discovery. I sat there the entire night looking at her body crying with no sound but disbelief.
Night passed and morning came, my parents then came back home and they found me on my knees next to my sister's corpse ,that remained on thes sofa. Noticing my back side , since the sofas faced the other side of door . My mom said, " Kelly what are you doing there" walking closer with my dad she noticed my sister sleeping , and she continued ," Kelly what are u doing to ur sister, can't u see that she's sleeping".
They got closer and saw me crying, as i gazed at my sister's body , a sister I raised. My parents looked at me in confused and asked, " what's wrong?!". Hearing those words i looked up at my parents and screamed as tears kept falling. The confusion in my parents face got worse that my mom shouted , " Kelly what's wrong?!" and my dad kneeling down next to me. looked into my eyes and shifted his eyes to Ariel ( my sister's name ) . I felt as if he saw the words through my eyes . As my dad looked at my sister, tears fall down his eyes.
This made my mom indignant, she roughly grabbed my pink t-shirt and raising me from the floor. she then said," what did u do?!" Hearing this I got scared and finally out of fear i managed to speak ,"she's dead!" I murmured. Looking at me she walked towards my dad in belief, kneeled on the floor close to my dad, " she's lying right? my daughter is alive ." she said. Without any response my mom miserably smiled , tears fall down her eyes and she screamed . Trying to manage his feelings and my moms ,my dad held my mom tight.
My twin brothers then walked down the stairs and looking at my parents and I, who stood silently , in fear looking at my parents . "Dad?!" they said in confusion , my dad then looked at them in sadness and walked worriedly towards them and hugged them. Whilst hugging them he said," it's okay! just go to ur room." He then lead them to their room. That night the baby didn't make any sound or cry, it was almost like she was dead as well. Thinking about how silent she was, I forced my self towards her room , as my body felt numb. I opened the door and found the baby playing by her self , walking closer towards the baby's sleeping court." A..yeal" she said trying to say my sister name and giggled, looking at me . I Then looked at the baby in tears as I picked her up from the court ,hugging her and seat on the wooden chair next to her court . The baby's room was painted in pink full of tedy bears , baby materials and interior designs . After some time i fall asleep with the baby on top of me.
After a while I woke up feeling all drained, thinking that the incident that had happened as a dream . I Then placed the baby that was now asleep in her court and hearing a siren , I rushed down to find Paramedics covering my sister's body with a sheet . My heart then stopped and once again I froze as I looked at my mom screaming and trying to grab hold of my sister's body. As it was being taken away, my dad who tried to pulled her ,finally manage to calm her down as the ambulance left . My younger brothers stood close to the garden tree that stood in the entrance of our house. Held by the next door couple, who were close neighbors and close friends to my parents. As the front of our house was full of other neighbors from the complex, standing from a distance and a police car . I walked slowly out the door as, I stood hidden near the door.
looking at everyone, my eyes joined with my moms furious eyes. She then stood up in fury from the chair given to her by the police officer who found it inside the house. Standing up she snatched the police officers gun, a gun that was on the pocket side of the police officer who kneeled besides her. And without hesitation she pointed the gun directly at me ,as everyone tried to stop her she shot me and at that moment, I died.
