Oh no! Not today!
“Where are you coming from? ” Mrs Ella Biber yelled at her only daughter, Luna Queen.
“I told you that I was going to school, ” I replied and pointed my finger in the direction of my university.
“That was not my question, I didn’t ask if you told me or not. Luna Queen Biber, where are you coming from? ” My mother thundered at me, she looked really angry. And I was scared to answer her.
“Mother, I didn’t do anything wrong,” I mumbled, and I could see my mother’s eye, it was red.
“Okay, get into the house, you are grounded!” Mother said and turned to leave.
“What, hell no! I am not entering the house then, ” I replied and quickly stepped out of the house.
“What do you mean you aren’t going to enter the house?” Ella asked with her widened eyes; “Also how many times have I warned you to stop saying slang, it is improper!” she said with a strict voice.
“Mum, I am not a baby anymore, I am eighteen for crying out loud!” I replied, I didn’t even realize that my voice was high.
Our noises and shouting disturbed Father, and he immediately came out of the house.
My father and mother looked very young, most times whenever we go out, most people are confused, they usually ask if we are siblings.
Sometimes I wonder if they are vampires because I read that vampires don’t grow old.
“What is going on here? ” Father asked with a gentle voice.
And I was relieved, finally, my number one supporter was here.
“Father, Mother said that I am not going to the concert I told you about, ” I said quickly, and ran to my father’s side.
“Well yes, you are not going,” Ella replied with a frown.
“Well, you wish! Father has agreed that I am going to go, so I will go,” I replied like a spoiled princess.
But don’t worry, I am not spoiled, yes, my parents love and pamper me, but they didn’t spoil me.
“Luna, don’t talk to your mother like that,” Father scolded me.
“But father I want to go, in fact, I will go, and nobody will stop me, ” I replied, and held my father’s arms, begging him with my eyes.
“Your mother’s word is the final daughter, you are not going to the concert, ” Father declared, and I felt really embittered.
“But father, I told you about the concert last week, and you agreed that I could go. So why the sudden change of mind?” I asked my dad and shifted away from his side.
“Get into the house Luna; go into your room, hand over the kegs to your mom, then she will lock the door,” Father instructed me, but it didn’t go well with me.
“Father! ”
“Luna you listen to your father, and go to your room, now! ” Mother commanded me, and I felt tongue-tied.
I carefully carried my bags and headed for my room angrily.
I didn’t even bother to look back.
“Ella, why don’t you want her to go to the concert? ” Cory asked his wife soberly.
“She is not going anywhere tonight!” Ella replied and went into the kitchen.
Cory kept staring at the kitchen’s door, after a while he decided to visit his daughter in her chambers.

Ella can be really overprotective sometimes, and just like today, her mood just changed, and she suddenly didn’t want her daughter to have fun.
I had to support my wife, what type of husband would I be if I supported my daughter over my woman?
As I climbed the stairs, I could hear Luna’s cry, and it broke my heart.
I gently knocked on her door, although I knew that the door was not locked.
“My love, can I come in? ” I asked her meticulously.
“The door is not locked, ” she replied with a sad voice.
I carefully pushed the door open and entered into the room.
And just as I suspected, Luna was seated on her bed, and she was cleaning her teary eyes.
“Have you washed up? ” I asked her and carefully sat on her bed.
“I will do that later, ” she replied and nodded her head. Her face was turned against me, and I was concerned.
“Luna, you know that your mother is only trying to protect you right?” I asked her and placed my hands on her shoulders.
“Hmm, ” Luna hummed to herself.
“That wasn’t convincing, ” I replied and looked at her with a straight face.
“Fine, what is she trying to protect me from? I am no longer a baby, I am eighteen years old! ” Luna replied at the top of her voice.
“Don’t raise your voice at me, ” I replied with a stern face.
“Sorry Dad, ” she apologized and bowed her head.
“Also, you are still seventeen,” I reminded her like a loving father.
“Well, I will be clocking eighteen in a few weeks, so there is no difference, ” Luna replied, and I smiled at her.
“Either you are eighteen or sixty years old, you will always be our little girl, ” I told my only daughter, and held her hands.
“Thank you, Dad, it means a lot to me,” Luna spoke out, and I smiled at her.
“Since you were a little girl, you have always been the cheerful one, you don’t cry, you are always smiling and your face is always colorful. That is why you are my queen, and my little princess, ” I confessed to her, and her cheeks turned red.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Randy also told me that Father, moreover, you and Mom are also reminding me of how cheerful I was, ” Luna said, and my smile widened the more.
“Oh Luna, you are still that cheerful girl, also your mother, and I will always love and cherish you, ” I told her, and she hugged me tightly.
“I love you guys more Father, and I promise to be a good child, ” She said and burst into tears.
“That goes without saying, I trust you. ”

My father’s words comforted my spirit, and I felt better.
He was right, I have always been a cheerful girl. Randy told me that my smile attracted him to me when he was a little boy.
He also told me how my mother saved him from Raphael, his stepbrother.
Raphael and I ain’t the best of friends, we don’t talk to each other, and I dislike him. He is too proud, and his mother is toxic, whenever I follow Randy to his family house, I always hope and pray that his stepmother should not be around.
Well, as for his father, Ralph Lauren, nobody knows where he is. Father said that he went missing when I was a little girl.
Randy misses him so much, and although I don’t know his father, I always pray for his save return.

After taking my hot bath, I changed into a short gown. There was nothing to do, and I felt restless.
It wasn’t like I had any interest in the night party(concert) but I wanted to show the Peacock girls that I was more beautiful and sexy than them.
I had already bought all sorts of sexy and hot gowns. I was planning on choosing a dress, but now there was nothing I could do.
“Ahhh! ” I sat down on the floor, and I subconsciously held the necklace that was around my neck. *My mother has warned me to never remove the necklace, she calls it protection.
“Lora is making her sad! ” I heard different whispers, it was a woman’s voice, and I was shocked.
At first, I thought I was just hallucinating, but as much as I tried to believe it, it got more scary.
Some women were whispering into my head. Somebody was messing with my mind.
I stood up at once in horror and started to bang on the door.
“They are whispering into my ear! I am losing my mind! I am running mad! ” I kept screaming, growling and crying.
I guess my cries attracted my parents’ attention because they both ran into my room. My mother was the first to get to my room.
I heard as she was trying to unlock the door, and after a few seconds, she was finally able to open the door.
“Luna! My daughter, are you alright?” Mother asked, and led me to my bed.
I kept shaking, murmuring that some people were whispering into my head.
When father entered my room, mother begged him to excuse us, although father did not want to leave, I had to beg him to obey my mother.
After my father left, my mother quickly ran to the door and locked it tightly.
Then she came back to my side and sat down beside me, she gently placed her arms on my shoulders.
“My love, what happened? Why are you shivering? ” Mother asked with a loving voice, and I hugged her tightly.
Tears were starting to drop from my eyes, I kept quiet, and my mother also kissed me on my head.
“Don’t worry, mama is here, no one dares to hurt me, ” she whispered into my ear.
“Mama, three women, they kept talking at a time, saying all sort of things, ” I explained to Ella, when I managed to calm myself down.
“Three women, ” my mother looked shocked, but I decided to ignore her face expression. “What were they saying, my love?” she said.
“They said something about Lora, then they mentioned lady Bella, then….. Ahh! Mother I am scared, I am now hearing strange voices, I need to tell father, ” I informed my mom, and wanted to stand up.
“No child, ” My mother held my arms. “Your father does not have to know, am sure he will think you are exaggerating.”
I paused for a minutes and thought about what my mother said, and indeed, it made sense, father might not believe me.
“I guess you are right, ” I reasoned from her point of view.
“Come closer, ” Ella said with an enchanting voice, and I also moved closer to her.
She whispered some strange words into my ears, and I closed my eyes, and fell into a deep slumber.
Suddenly then was a knock on the door, mother was on her kneels, and she was…..
Oh no!
