Ayakha the Queen
Chapter 7

AYAKHA'S POV:

"Ugh! he's such a pain in the ass" Sonia groans stomping her feet like a toddler but on a serious note there is something between her and Okhufa "Why don't you just tell him how you feel?" I ask making my way to get some food too, leaving her baffled by my question.After gathering herself,she comes running after me laughing and blushing.

I didn't press her further on the matter.I realized that she hasn't fully acknowledged her feelings for him yet.We sat down and had our food on the grass playing with cats."Ayakha,let's clean up so that we can leave early I have a date with my couch and Netflix" she says rolling her eyes,she's so playful and free unlike me which reminds me to ask "How did we become friends again?" She just gave me a 'duh' response before jabbing my side "hey!" I groan from the impact,we laugh it off and got on with cleaning so that,Ms squirrel over here can go home.

The day went down pretty well,I asked her if she is going to ride with me home but apparently her car is back.I am going to miss her though,she made my car lively with her sing along songs.We quickly finished up and helped lock the ground's gate.After bidding each other goodnight,we all went our separate ways but not without hugs and kisses.

"Guys am home" where are they? I think to myself but right on cue my mom appears with flour all over her face and clothes,how cute "Hey baby,am making cupcakes and your dad is out on business matters...give me a hand?" my family owned alot of business around the world,don't ask me how they accumulated such wealth during their years because I'd just lie.It has always been weird even for me but I never questioned them they will tell me when they are ready.Come to think of it,I don't even know my family's history they never wanted to talk about.

"Earth to Junior!" My mom snaps her fingers in front of me cutting me off my train of thoughts "Yeah...yeah mom let me change quickly and what are aprons for? You look a mess" I quickly make my way to my room to put on something comfortable.I need to question my mom about my roots.It was sad for me the time at work when everyone was talking about their cultures and traditions and I couldn't participate.I was in the dark,no! I need to somehow replace a way to question her about their families,they cannot possibly think it's okay to hide all of this from me.

With that thought in mind,I make my way back to the kitchen "mommy dearest" I sweet talk my way into it,determined to have that awkward conversation.The last time we spoke about it,it was when I was 15years old and trust me when I say they have a way of brushing things off but she was not getting out of this one tonight "What is it now,I know that tone of voice and my answer is no" yells my mom from across the room.

"Can we talk please,it won't take long I promise?" She reluctantly agrees.

"Mom please tell me about your family and dads.I know you don't like talking about them but I need to know as they are part of me too" as expected my mom tries to brush it off again but I won't let her...not this time "Let things be sweetheart,you don't need anyone else you have us" I was getting irritated by her constant dismissal of this topic,treating me like a child which made me want to press more on the matter.When I was 15,I had found pictures in the basement,it was of my mom,dad and some people with crowns.They all had green eyes...weird right? thought so too but there was more in the box,some voodoo dolls,candles,oils and my dad blowing some purple light during some sort of a bonfire in one picture,they all looked so happy.

"Come on mom,am old now I can handle anything.Don't you trust me?" am trying my level best now to stay calm because nothing can come out of us being both on edge.I can see my mom about to lose control.

What could have happened that's so bad that makes my mom behave in this manner over that simple question,I try again "Mom..." She cuts me off very fast turning to face me now.Her eyes are glowing with a green light,to say am shocked will be an understatement of the year.We didn't even hear my father budging through the door.

"Rebaone!! You stop it right this instant,you are frightening her" I am so shock that I not realising I am holding my breath in. My mom came to her senses after realising what was going on "My word Lance what have I done? what have I done? No no no she wasn't supposed to replace out like this" my mom starts to tremble,fear coating her beautiful eyes busy mumbling to my dad and I on the other hand can't get over the shock of what just happened.

"We don't have a choice you gonna have to make her forget,that world it is not for our daughter.We agreed to keep her out of this how could you lose control like that" my dad scolds my mom but wait...did he just say 'make her forget' oh hell no they don't!.I was about to question them further after gaining my senses but it was already too late,the spell chant was in motion.I fell straight to a deep sleep but not before I heard my mom in a distance "sleep oh little witch it's not the time yet" than darkness engulfed me.
