"Why did you lie on us and where did you find the blood that you had poured on yourself?" Samson asked.
"I always used to protect you, but the stunt you pulled on us is mean and unacceptable. From now on I will let Simon do whatever he wants to do with you!" Abraham added."Well first of all, both of must be sick in your head if you think there is any help I need from you. Go to aunt Rosina and learn some morals!" I told them not holding back my rage. In that moment I was thinking of the events that had happened when I was still alive, living in my own body."You do not sound like a real innocent Clearance that we know, you sound like crook from hell. That's why that blood was all over you? You are reeked off evil, I can smell it on you." Samson added."Well at least you can just smell it, you performed it. Now you need to learn your morals. Maybe aunt Rosina will teach you a thing or two about them." I said. These were my greatest bullies from the time I was still alive and reliving that experience drove me crazy, I needed to know who I was the time I was dead. Maybe I needed to enforce fear and make them scared of me."I should strike you, for speaking tone deaf to my brother!" Simon tried to strike me, he was so used to striking Clearance and getting away with it, but I wasn't Clearance and I was older than him."Touch the pot with that hand of yours." I told him. His hand stood mid air and it was directed to the stove where the was a pot boiling with morning hot porridge. His hand placed on it and sweat started coming out of his four head. He was shaking uncontrollably and his eyes began to water."Witch!!! What are you doing to my brother?!" Samson tryed to remove Simon hand from that Situation, but no one could break my spell on people besides me."I'm sorry!" Simon wailed and pleaded for mercy."I grant you mercy, next time you will touch that pot for ten hours. I will make what your mother did to me, look like a joke. Get the hell out of this house!" Everyone looked at me differently in that moment. Every one of them stood up and the went to their room to pack their clothes. I could already tell that I what I did got them pretty shook."What did our mother do to him?" Daniel mumbled."I do not know, let us get out of here before he casts another spell on us." David said."I thought that father made sure that no of us had any communication with the dead?" Daniel asked again."It was your idea to make him sleep on Ganuku's blankets, now he is possessed by his spirit!" David answered."I can hear all of that, you know? If you do not get out in the next ten seconds, you will regret it!" I said sternly, feeling my blood boil and my patience becoming thin with their obnoxious behavior."What did we do to deserve this?" Abraham asked again."The question is what did you not do Abraham? Get out of this place, right now!" I said vengefully. I made a cup of tea, to calm my nerves. Simon's hand was turning purple, from what I saw."Wash your hand and put an ice on it, before you leave." I commanded and he obliged without asking questions. I might have been vengeful but I did not want them to use anything against me or Clearance. I did not want to mess anything up for my innocent brother. He might have been naive, but he was also too innocent for these experiences. I needed to think before I made any hasty decisions. My mission was to make my brothers fear Clearance and to stop taunting him with their mean gestures. We were all brothers, but he was the most important to me. I would put him first before anyone else and I knew that he needed me the most, but I would as well pay my own revenge in the process.~When I thought that everyone had finally left the house and I was finally alone, I thought of waking up Clearance, he needed to witness everything in action. So I took a needle and I poked the back of his neck, he woke up. I took out a small bottle and asked him to enter it and he complied without hesitation."You need to see everything in action, your brothers have been kicked out of the house." I told him."What? When did this happen? How did we even get home?" He asked, oblivious of the events that had transpired while he was still unconscious."Well I told father that they were the ones who poured blood on your body as a prank and he became furious, he asked them to go and live at Aunt Rosina's place for a month." I did not entirely tell him the truth for his own good, he did not need to know that I was the one who pulled father's leg to do it. I just wanted him to have a piece of mind."Wow, so am I going to live like this forever?" He asked, worried and I could read the fear that was written on his face as he asked."No, of course not. That is why I purposely put you in a bottle just in case you want your body back. You can enter it anytime and we can easily magnify the way we travel, using your body... We can exchange whenever you want." I told him. I needed to find a way, for him to not lose any trust that he had in me and that is why I always had to be wise and calculated with everything that I had told him.Ganuku P.O.V. :"Okay." Clearance said with understanding. I knew I could count on him when it mattered the most. "Can I enter my body now, just in case father gets back?" He asked looking at me. I nodded, although I did not feel like that was a wisest idea. ~When father came back from his mini vacation of air, I could not help but think that I needed to also get rid of him, if I had to accomplish all of my missions. My brothers were now out. It was then time to make my guilt and shame his potion for putting me through that struggle of being humiliated and the neglected. I had endured so much from him. I had not forgotten about how he let me experience the wrath of his late vengeful wife and I knew that she sometimes visited my other brothers and him, from time to time.I needed to occupy his dream with nightmares, he would think that he was being haunted."What are you planning now?" He asked as he entered the room, that all his sons used to sleep in, including Clearance. I did not
Ganuku P.O.V. :I could not sleep, I was not a sleeper and I could never sleep. I yearned for my justice. Vivian had been left to rot in jail ever since I had died. She was the only person who came for my defense, stabbing that well deserving mother monster, who had happened to be a mother to her five demonic children. The hurt they had put me through? When I was still alive, it could not be subdued with a slap on the wrist, everyone had to pay for their crimes. I despised and hated each and everyone of them.The one memory that still haunted me the most was the moment when Abraham was instructed to test which of my private organs were working? He inappropriately touched me when I was only a child, on my previous body, when I was still a human being. I cried out to father during those days and fought him from touching me inappropriately. Father came rushing in our bedroom to see what was happening. When I told him that Abraham wanted to molest me. He became so rigid and he blamed me
Ganuku P.O.V :He might have thought that he had escaped my wrath, but it was far from over. The was so much I was planning. He had to learn a harsh lessons. Everyone had to pay for their wrong doings, that they had created. He was scared to death after seeing me, but I knew I had to do worse. "Why are you doing this to me Ganuku? I am sorry I did not know what to do in those moments when they hurt you. I wish I could go back and change it, but It was out of my control." He tried to explain again, wiping his eyes. After sometime when I did not respond, he opened his eyes. He did not see me anymore, although I was still there, but invisible. He sighed heavily. He covered himself in blankets, hoping that what he just witnessed was not real. I went back to Clearance's room, my heart filled with rage. I was hurt, my own father had abandoned me because he felt my reality was a nightmare to him. He addressed me in a way that I could never get used to. At least when I was alive, on my pre
"I am becoming more of myself." I told him with a smirk. I knew it was his worst nightmare witnessing any of his boys acting suspect. He was high on sexual morals and gender roles. Like if you could not conform to his moral standards? You would have gotten disowned right then and there. (I hid the bottle Clearance was in, in a sock, as he was still distracted with my appearance.) "Since when?" He asked confused. In a movie where he thought that he was a hero, I was most definitely a villain. And if he thought that he was a villain, I was double that villain. I really wanted to piss him off."Since the day you stopped becoming my father. Yesterday we agreed on your boys going to live at aunt Rosina, now you want me go fetch my bullies and bring them back to this house and then go and live on a shed like some dog? Fine, I might as well take an identity of my late brother, Ganuku. I might as well fight for his justice and since I am someone who is made to live in his shoes." I told him.
Ganuku P.O.V. :"You know we are going to start beating you up after we are finished eating here, right? We do not tolerate gay boys here." One boy said."After doing that poisonous thing in front of my face, what makes you think I might spare you?" I asked them and they all looked at me as if I was a crazy person."We will beat you up, even God does not like things like you?!" The other one said clicking his tongue."Which God are you referring to?" I asked."This boy is sick, you should be running before we start hitting you!" The second boy said laughing. It seemed like being bullies seemed like the most common thing that they glorified. Another act that created so much rage inside of me."If you are referring to the god of the colonists, the food you are eating will turn into termites and it will start eating you from within." I stated. It seemed like what I had said had no effects on them and they started approaching."We are referring to the one true God of the Bible." Another s
Clearance:I woke up in a idiosyncratic place. It looked weird, everything was shadowy and I heard whispers. Ganuku had apologized to me, but I knew that things were getting exacerbated, especially with father. When I heard the tumultuous noise he had with Ganuku, I nearly died from terror! My heart was filled with so much fear. I had never seen father so upset with me, I did not even think I was going to survive his wrath. My brother was not frightened though, he might have been feminine and had a liking of girly things, but fear did not recite in him. I heard voices between him and a strange lady, I was not familiar with her, I had never seen or heard of her anywhere. I was agog. "Why did you bring a living person here?! This is no place for him! You know what the Pharos will do when they find him here, right?! They will use him as their next sacrifice! Why did you risk him coming here?!" She posed questions, agitated. "Do you seriously think I had any choice in this situation?
Ganuku:I arrived safely on the surface of the river, and then I saw Sosobala on the embarkment of the river. He stood facing south, to the direction I needed to take when I walked back home. I was not scared of him, but I knew I needed to be careful with him. "What are you?" He questioned. "I saw you enter this river few hours ago and you stayed down there for a very long time." He inquired begrudgingly. "I'm the soul of your nephew. Remember Ganuku? That's me." I answered him, honestly. "I am no longer a human anymore, I am a spirit that serves a snake of New Rockville. Do not patronize me with that human title and the body you possess… That's your younger brother's body, what did you do to him?" He urged, facing me. His huge form blocked my pathway. I felt trapped. Whatever I did, he could eventually find me even if I ran, he knew exactly where my family lived. It felt hopeless lying to him. "He is right here." I showed him the ball that I was carrying. "You're introducing hi
Clearance :It was a cold winter day in 2006, when I was sitting in the dining room with my older brothers. We were surrounding a small heater and we were also listening to the radio. A journalist was talking about a tragic story that happened in Rockville park: A place around where we lived. 'A body of a young woman was found on the lake, sources say that she was attacked by an unknown suspect at 12:00am... Cops were called, but the suspect vanished on thin air. When the cops arrived and flooded the scene he was no were to be found and no witness saw what he looked like...' The reporter said. "I heard these news, everyone in school was talking about it." Samson said. "Everyone says it was a ritual." He finished. He was the guy who always knew stories of Rockville. (Samson was the second born in our family and he was 16. Scorpio born on the 17th of November.) "You always have these theories, does your lies ever end?" Abraham scolded. (Abraham was the oldest amongst all my brothers.
