(She’s not dumb)

She sat around the dinning table with a baby bowl of cereal and a glass cup of milk along with a jug of water. She kept laughing at their jokes, at least they aren’t making her day bored perhaps unhappy. She fed them according with a bright smile on her face.

“Get me the napkin Anaya” she said, trying to wipe Ariel lips which was full with cereal. Anaya stood up and brought the napkin from the end of dinning table and hand it over to her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“My teacher is celebrating her birthday today” Ariel said Daphne fake a gasp just trying to show some funny faces.

“Today is your teacher’s birthday” Daphne gasped and smiled “so what are you going to give your teacher” she asked.

“I’m giving her a painting, I drew her in my drawing book. She looks pretty” Ariel smiled and gulped down a cup of water.

“Is she pretty than your mom” Daphne asked, despite knowing how ugly her reply would be.

“Pretty my foot, She’s prettier than my mom. Mom’s always horrible with her make-up’s ” Ariel scoffed rolling her eyes. Anaya burst into a round of laughter Daphne wasn’t left out.

“Table Manners” Daphne said reminding, them and they nodded moving back their gaze to their food.

She fed them slowly and accordingly. Checking out their dresses in case of any mistake but she found none.

“Go and get your school bags” she said and left to carry their lunch boxes that was on the kitchen cabinets.

They rushed back to the living room with their bags. Daphne went to the TV and switch it off. Her smile fade away when she saw her coming down the stairs. No one else apart from the building devil.

“You must not go and pick them late” Laura said. Daphne moved closer to her sisters and took their hands.

“As if I do pick them late. ” She replied with a frown.

“Watch your rotten lips” Laura yelled.

“Enough!. Wait hold, who do you think you are to walk out on me ?” Laura rasped and Daphne scoffed.

“Who are you precisely ?” Daphne summon courage.

*It’s high time you show her you aren’t the old fragile girl anymore* her inner mind uttered.

“Are you really talking back to me” Laura asked with a widened expression on her face.

“Enough of your bullshit, I think it’s high time I set up a new principles because of inhuman like you. I can’t withstand your maltreatment towards me. It’s better you stay within your boundary and don’t cross it” Daphne uttered with a gritted teeth.

“Come on let’s go Anaya, we can’t be late” Daphne said with a soft smile that curve up her lips and took her sisters hand.

“Did she talk back at me. Like is this real” Laura shuttered, staring at the exit she took.

Daphne cross the road along with some other kids who are with their parents perhaps guardian’s. They stopped walking when they got to the gate. Daphne crouched down to their level and smiled as she pull their cheeks softly.

“We are here now” Daphne said and smiled.

“Won’t you give us a safety peck on the cheek and missing kiss on our foreheads. ” Ariel asked.

“Always the talkative type” Daphne thought and pulled her cheek slowly and planted a peck on it.

“Do for Anaya too” Ariel said which made her to chuckled. Anaya brought her face forward…

“So won’t you give sis a kiss” Daphne asked. Anaya and Ariel chuckled and ran far away from her. Now they are inside their school compound.

“We are not going to kiss you” Ariel screamed and Anaya smiled with a wave. She bid Daphne good bye.

“I love you two ” Daphne screamed and bid them good bye. They turned around and walked deeper into the school compound. Daphne make sure she watched them until see couldn’t see their back view.

She stood at the bus stop waiting for a Subway bus to pass by when her phone rang out. She smiled immediately but it didn’t last long, it was replaced with a scoffed followed with a long eye roll.

“Hello” the voice said from the background.

“Amy” Daphne called almost close to tears.

“Guess what Daphne” Amy said with a loud voice.

“I can’t guess anything right now. I did what you told me to do with my step mom and it actually worked, she was shocked. To be sincere I was shaking in my mind. I was praying and hoping she won’t hit me on the face but it was otherwise, she was shocked, like really shocked.” Daphne said with happiness visible on her face.

“I told you it work out, you need to keep to show the real you. It’s high time you add more words to your day life principles” Amy uttered and exhale. ” I’m back from Brazil Daphne..” Amy said and she scoffed.

“I’m not in the mood for your pranks Amy, you told me you were back yesterday night but you weren’t and now that same prank. You do you even love for legs” Daphne rasped loudly which was making Amy to laugh heavily on the other side.

“I’m serious Daphne I’m back, it’s a surprise visit. Believe me, it’s just a surprise visit” Amy said.

“Enough of it. To be sincere it’s not funny, have been waiting for you to come back for five years. You kept pranking me since last year about your return. But you never return, see Amy. We gonna talk later” Daphne said and end the call.

“She’s always ruining my mood with her surprise visit or whatever” Daphne muttered angrily, tucking her hair behind her ears.

A hand sudden touched her, she recognized the scent instantly and turned around. She nearly faint upon seeing who she have being dying to see. She lost the train of her thoughts…

“Amy” she shuttered.

“Amy!!!” She screamed out of blue and ran into her warm embrace.

“I’m sorry” the guy pleaded with a swollen lips..

“Where is Logan?” Emerson asked clenching his teeth.

“I swear I don’t know who goes by that name, I’m just carrying out orders” the guy said, looking pitiful.

Emerson nodded and point the gun to his forehead.

“How nice will it to greet everyone for” Emerson said and shut him in the head. He picked up his gun and left the wear house. Actually, it wasn’t a warehouse but one will think it is main looking at it from the outside.

Lucas shook his head and signalled the boys to clean up the whole mess.

“What took you so long ?” Emerson asked immediately Lucas sat inside the car.

“Directing the guys on how to clean up the whole mess.” He replied but got no response.

( *No dialogue* *just silence*)

His phone chimed and he took it out to take a look. His mood changed immediately…

“Can you believe this” Emerson uttered with a scoffed, Showing Lucas his phone.

“Logan did this” Lucas asked..

“Taking innocent kids as hostage. And he thinks I’m going to fall for that. Kids my foot. ” Emerson uttered, putting back his cell phone in his pocket.

“Won’t you save this innocent kids” Lucas asked.

“Do I look like I care. Logan is senseless for acting stupidly” Emerson muttered, facing his window.

Lucas look away with a worried face.
