Don't tell Mama is a short story about a little girl; named "Elsa" happy, jovial and sweet, she knew nothing like pains and sadness until that fateful day. Grab a plate of popcorn, munch on it as you read through...

In the beginning

Elsa was a girl, a gorgeous, respectful and sweet little girl of six, she lived in a room with her mother, her sick mother. Elsa's father had died during her fourth birthday celebration, ever since then, they had no funds to celebrate another. It was a tragic experience to remember, Elsa's father wasn't really a wealthy man but without any doubt he was an hardworking man, who through his struggles had built his family, a house, unfortunately that same house was taken away from his wife and daughter by his immediate family after his demise.

Ever since the demise of her father, Elsa's mother had been struck with an illness, one I'll call the "loneliness of a widow" this ailment triggered the level of her blood pressure from normal to abnormal, the doctor had warned, that any unfavorable news shouldn't be spoken to her or spoken in her presence, else she might have an heart attack which might likely send her to eternal rest, this instruction was known by all of Elsa's neighbors.

Elsa's mother was battling with grieving depression, she felt lifeless yet alive, she always sent Elsa out to play with the neighbor's children whenever she feels she's tearing apart, it was just a room so there was no place or corner she could roll, cry and bleed, without the watch of her little and only child, her only option was to send Elsa out to the neighbor's, while she locked herself in, to burn her heart out. Elsa would go over to the neighbor's houses to play, she played different kinds of games but her favourite was "hide and seek." They all liked her and became very fond of her.

On a fateful day, Elsa had just been sent out to play with the neighbor's children by her mother. Elsa was already used to the system and left happily after planting a kiss on her mother's cheek. She immediately went over to call her friend out, her name was Bella, just the same age range with Elsa.

When Elsa got to her friend's room, she met the door opened, even at that she still knocked and called out her name but response came from no where, still unsure of this decision, she slowly walked in, calling out the name of her friend, she sighed when she finally realized no one was in, and immediately turned her back to leave. When she turned, she noticed Bella's father by the door staring mischievously at her, she whimpered back in fright, the shock from his sight, standing all along, staring at her, overwhelmed her, she gained her composure seconds later and spoke: "Goodafternoon Sir, please Sir I'm looking for Bella." He only replied with a mischievous smile and slowly locked the door.

Elsa stood bemused, unsure of what was about to happen, she spoke slowly yet fidgetily: "sir?." Bella's dad walked up to Elsa in a slow but hasty manner and swiftly clasped her mouth into the palm of his hand, it was then, Elsa knew this was danger, she tried to scream but her voice wasn't audible enough, she just wanted to go back to her mama, tears rolled down her eyes. He whispered into her ears; "I've always wanted this, you're so beautiful, just like your mother, a shame I can't have her" he said bitterly and smiled; "I guess I'd have you instead, in replacement of her."

He forcefully laid her on the bed and told her with rage in his eyes; "if you dare scream, I'll stab you with a knife and your mother would be left without an husband and a child" he slowly bent and pecked her cheek "do you want that for Mama?" She fearfully shook her head in response. "That's my girl, now be good enough to cooperate with me, this shouldn't take long." He said, slowly removing his hand from her mouth, he hastily put out his trouser and boxers while silently watching her on the bed. Elsa almost screamed at the sight of his private part but immediately bit her lower lips to shun the words about to spill out. He raised her gown up, ripped her pants apart and hastily inserted his private part into hers, she shrieked in pains, still biting her lower lips, tears rolled down her eyes as he had his way with her. Blood oozed from her private part, her eyes were swollen and shimmery with tears, he sighed in satisfaction and laid his back on the bed.

Sir, why?. She managed to mutter. He looked at her mischievously, stood up to dress up and said. "I've always wanted to do this, been waiting for so long for this day to come, tell no one, especially not your mama, you'll kill her with this news if you do. Don't tell Mama" he warned and gave her a baby doll.

She nodded with tears knowing fully well that he was right.
