keep the door locked
Born 1995, M, from Mbale, UgandaKeep the door locked
I could never believe, that I could ever live with my second auntie, Margret.
It all began, when mom and dad, being aqua biologists, were called for the study of coral reefs in Australia. worse of all, they were to stay there for a couple of weeks.
"Make sure you don't get into much trouble, ok!". My mom urged.
"yes we shall mom". James replied, obediently.
"and you edward". Mom set her eyes on me.
I pretended not to have heard, and kept looking out the car window, at the trees, which seemed to be running backwards.
"eddie, your auntie is fun loving and funny, you will see it wasn't a bad idea to choose that place for you guyz". She said.
"whatever, I dont care". I mumbled.
"listen sir!". My dad, mr smith, who was quiet, boomed. "we decide what's good for you, you should accord some respect".
"honey, dont be hard on him". My mom, mrs smith came to the rescue.
"you have to let kids know who's in charge". He muttered.
James looked at me, and shook his head in discontent. What!" I snarled.
We were quiet for the rest of the journey. My dad kept negotiating from corner to corner, till finally we reached big creepy gates, with dangling vines. dad pulled over, got out of the car, and swang the gate open. He got back to the car and drove in.
Auntie margaret had seen us making our way into the gate from her bedroom, and was already waiting for us.
"hello auntie". Dad greeted auntie margaret with a hug.
"not so tight". Auntie margaret complained.
My dad laughed and pulled away.
"hello margaret". mom greeted with a smile.
"come here, give this old woman a hug". Margaret smiled.
I and james were taking the luggage out of the car at the moment.
"which of you is james or edward". Margaret grinned.
"I also get confused at times on who is who". My father put in.
"am james, and this is edward". My twin brother made the introduction.
My parents didn't stay for long, and before we knew it they were gone, and we were left with our weird auntie. james blended in no time, and was already cracking jokes. I on the other hand played dumb the whole dinner.
"good night". Margaret bidded, after showing us to our room.
"Good night auntie". We replied in unison.
With a smile, she shut the door, and went to her room.
I picked the upper bed, leaving the lower one to james.
In the middle of the night, we were awakened by a loud banging at the door.
"edward!, james, hide your selves". A terrified voice cried feebly.
"ayntie! whats wrong?" I shouted frantically. Jumping off my bed.
"please lock the door, and keep it locked no matter what". She pleaded.
James Ran to the wardrobe, while I hid under the bed. But before I could hide, I locked the door.
"don't come out no matter what". She urged, we heard foot steps fading away downstairs.
Shortly, we heard a hoarse cry from down stairs, it was unbearable. Out of reflex I and james stormed out of our hiding places, and raced down stairs, calling out.
"auntie!, auntie!". her back was facing us.
"Auntie!". Muttered james.
Ferociously, margaret whirled around, her hair was floating, and her eyes sparkling red.
James and I shouted frantically, and darted upstairs, we kept falling and pulling up, everytime we looked behind, aunti margaret was following, making crickety rickety sounds.
Lastly, we reached the door to our room, and locked it frantically. Our hearts were beating real fast, it was as if they would jump out any time sooner.
Aunti margaret banged against the door, and made all kinds of hoarse sounds, grunts, groans, name it. This contunued for hours, and then it seized.
In the morning, we had a knock at the door.
"Good morning, rise and shine". Margarets voice came.
It took us minutes to believe it was auntie margaret knocking. It turns out, she didn't remember anything that had occurred at night.
Will she turn again? I dont know, but what am sure we shall not open the door.
