I will never rest until my good is better and my better best with kelvin… I turned to look at kelvin who was playing, he also looked at me, I smiled at him and he smiled back this time around, my spirit was lifted a bit by his smile, he waved at me still running around, I gathered courage and walked up to him, held his hand and carried him, so amazing because this time around he didn’t object nor scream I was beyond joy, he was smiling this time, he was not pointing at me like he used to, we played together throu-ghout that day, I was even the one that bathed him, he agreed for the first time to sleep in my room.. Wow! I was very very happy because my wish and dream is finally coming to pa-ss, I read stories to him, I patted him and sang lullaby to him the way my mum used to sing for me and finally he slept off very peaceful.. I watched him as he slept he was too sweet I could not wish for a better brother than kelvin… That was so wonderful I can’t wait but to laugh out so loud and also shed tears of joy, excitement, love, affection and care for my little brother, I was so happy that we are both getting along very well…
I quickly took my bath and lied down beside him, I kis-sed him and cross my hand around his small body lightly, I smiled still holding him and slept off with broad smile on my face that was the best day of my life and the best sleep I am ever going to get in my whole life….I slept off, but half way throu-ghthe night, kelvin cried out, kicked and scream so loud like something wants to harm him, I jumped up from the bed and tried to carry him and calm him, but he refused and appeared to be more scared of me, he was crying and pointing at me and drew away from me, I glanced at the clock on my bed head, it was 1.30 am, I wondered why and what happened to kelvin and why he is behaving that way in the middle of the night… Just then my parents rushed in with aunt amaka and kelvin ran to my mum, hug-ged him so so tight and was still pointing at me, I can’t fathom what’s happening to this dude I was almost in tears,… My parents seemed worried and my mum asked me if I did anything to him, I tried to reply but can’t find my voice I was only able to shake my head indicating no, gradually kelvins cry has subsided and he was almost asleep on my mums body, my mum carried him to their room and my dad told me to go back to sleep and followed my mum out, soon amaka joined them and left to her room, I was very sad about what happened and was wondering what could have happened to kelvin maybe he had a bad dream…i was still pondering on this and why kelvin should hate me so much with pa-ssion, why did he hate me so much I sobbed gently… I couldn’t sleep I was still sobbing when something flashed throu-ghmy mind only then did I recall the dream I had about kelvin,…. In that dream, I was playing with kelvin and something was pushing me to hurt him., i was also fighting within me not to hurt my kelvin but unfortunately I was over powered by the strange feelings, I ran to the kitchen, picked a knife and hid it at my back, I was heading to where kelvin was and he was still playing and smiling at me handing me his toy, his smile melted my heart and I tried to stop but I just can’t because I was knocked out of control by the strange power, I got closer to him and began to laugh so mysteriously, my face began to change, it was very dark now like an evil spirits own.. Only then did kelvin realized what was happening and surprisingly he spoke in that dream, begging me not to kill him.. But the power became more stronger, as I got more closer to him, he screamed and then I woke up… The dream displayed in my mind.. But why would I hurt my kelvin, why did I become so strange.. I didn’t understand that dream.. Why did my face changed so dark and scary, I went to the mirror but my face was still the same, still beautiful and charming, I signed and went back to bed still thinking about my hostility to kelvin in the dream…..
A devils gift only adds pains and sorrows but the gift of God maketh rich and added no sorrow…. Don’t compromise your faith wait unto God because his time is surely the best…..
What do you think will be kelvin’s fate in that house… Do you think Tina knows what is wrong with her….. Hmmmmmmmm odiegwu oooo!!

EPISODE 13
Written by: Chidinma Ihemenandu
I was so scared of the dream I had and I was also scared of telling my parents about it so I vowed to keep it to myself because I don’t know what my parents will think of me if I disclose the dream to them, I kept thinking and I don’t know when sleep took hold of me.
The next day when I came down for breakfast, my heart skipped as I saw kelvin but surprisingly when I saw kelvin he didn’t act strangely, he ran to me and was dragging me to play with him I was very relieved and the pounding of my heart stopped, I bent down to his level and told him to eat his breakfast first after that we can now play all day, he nodded his head and and I lift him to his seat and sat beside him, we ate our breakfast and everyone was beaming with smile as we chat and eat, every one seems to have forgotten the incident of yesterday and I was also happy because my fear of been rejected by kelvin turned out the other way round. Then after breakfast I and kelvin played all throu-ghthe day but I was a bit scared and careful so that my dream will not come to pas-sin real life although I kept my fears within my self so that nobody will find out.
The vacation is turning to be the best I have ever experienced, with a brother now I am fulfilled. I can’t stop dreaming of when I killed kelvin and kelvin himself scream in the dream and sometimes the scream will echo out in the physical, every night when he sleeps my fears increased and sometimes kelvin will act cold towards me and wouldn’t want me to come close to him. I kept wondering why I use to become monster in the dream and aim to kill kelvin, this is ridiculous I murmured to myself while I was looking at kelvin. I made up my mind to tell my parents once they return but on a second thought I kicked against it with the thought that they will get scared of me and I decided to bury the secret in my heart.
Then one day in the dream, I was asking kelvin to give me my most treasured doll because I want to bath it but he refused but was holding it firmly, I asked him again and again but he blatantly refused, then I felt very strange, I was very angry and my face changed and all I could hear in my head was kill him.. Kill him, I tried as much as possible to resist it but it only grew stronger and stronger then I moved to kelvin looking at him angrily, I said to him, why did you come to my house to steal my dolls and toys, you want to snatch my parents from me, I don’t want you in my house, you want to take what belongs to me, my parents are now giving you attention, you want to share what belongs to me I hate you… Leave my house or else… I got closer to him and kelvin was shaking and was terrified.. I continued with the strange voice, the voice was de-ep and scary, that wasn’t my voice, I tried to fight it but I can’t, kelvin wanted to scream but I covered his mouth with my hands he was struggling to be free but can’t because the power in me was so strong, I beat him so terribly and was pushed to tear his soul with the knife in my hand, I struggled with the power even more… I said no oooo! I can’t kill my lovely brother the spirit pushed me harder yet I refused to kill him, I was still holding the knife his tears and screams was hurting me so much… I dropped the knife and kelvin screamed loudly, I woke up and rushed to my parents room only to see kelvin screaming in low tone with pains all over his body, he was gro-aning and weeping with the little strength left in him, my mum carried him and later rushed out to call my dad who was in his study room, they both rushed back to kelvin, they didn’t even notice that I was standing there, my dad wanted to call our family doctor but kicked against it since it was just some minutes pas-s2 in the night… According to my mom Kevin was burning with high fever, so she placed a cold towel on his forehead…. Then my dad called me with surprise in his voice and eyes… What are you doing here dear… I stammered…. I hea…rd his Vo…ice so I ca…me to che…ck on him, immediately kelvin heard my voice, with out opening his eyes, he cried out and was pointing towards the direction he heard my voice, my dad urged me to come closer but I refused knowing that am the cause behind kelvins pain,, he called me again but I gave an excuse that am already feeling sleepy and left the room.
