Later in the night it was time to start our game. If we can't win him over through the court we will now take away the most precious gift he has ," peace of mind". I woke immy up at around three in the morning . I tiptoed to his bedroom door and swung it open making a big bang and then I rushed back in the room. Immy quickly shouted at the top of her and yes he came running .

What's wrong he said switching on the light . My door just opened and it scared me she said faking some tears. So you mean you didn't open my door? He asked worried . What do you mean dad? Did your door open as well? She asked looking at him keenly. He looked a bit disturbed and said no maybe I just heard your door.

He comforted her and went back to his room. That's enough for today I said. Later in the morning immy went for her lectures and he also went to work. I called Vicky and asked her to bring what I had asked of her earlier and she agreed to come by in the evening. 

Vicky's heads a butchery and I asked her to collect some blood for me. Vicky had told his father that we will use the blood at the university and he agreed to help. Immy came back with Vicky in the evening and what I saw just my day. She had brought a five litre jerrycan full of blood and i had been thinking she may bring two litres at most

She brought with her some chemicals and we put them in the jerrycan . These chemicals will prevent it from smelling and it will keep it in liquid form . We chatted for sometime and then Vicky left. While immy was away I scanned the house and now every bit of its corner.  I also found a cry nice hiding spot in the monster's room.

The hiding place was an old closet he no longer use. I prepared everything I would use and hid myself in the closet.  Later he came into his room, took his bath and then as planned I heard immy shouting. He quickly rushed out to see what was happening to her and then quickly I moved from the closet and I poured some blood under his duvet covers and covered it so well. I also put on the shower in his bedroom and I rushed to the maid's room. 

I had him walk into his room and closing the door behind him and I quickly went to see immy. Just as I stepped into immy's room We had him scream at the top of his voice . Immy rushed to him while I was Laughingmy heart out. Yes he deserves the worst and he surely will get it. I said to myself laughing uncontrollably. 

What's this nonsense dad asked as I looked at him his night gown soaked in blood. Who did this?  He asked angrily. Which stupid joke is this?  I didn't know what to say . Just looking at his facial expressions gave me some satisfaction.  I pretended to be so shocked and I faked to have fainted. He carried me to my room and placed me on my bed . He went back to his room. Imara was under the bed . I bent and looked at her and she gave a satisfying smile. We had him coming back and I went back to the fainted me. 

He had changed his night wear and I could hear him cursing under his breathe. I swear to deal with anyone playing these stupid jokes with me. I opened my eyes and asked, dad what's happening?  Why were clothes soaked with. Was I dreaming or I saw you covered in blood . I said crying so hard. You just hard a bad dream princess please go back to bed.

I swear that night he didn't sleep. We could hear him search every corner of the house and that night he made sure all lights were left on. Later in the morning immy left but he spend some time searching the house. I just prayed he doesn't notice my presence. Later around midday he went to work. 

Later w hen immy came back we laughed about what happened last night and to our suprise he came back early that day. He came back unexpected.  I was in the sitting room and umm had gone up . When I saw him I went white like a ghost. I didn't know what to do. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath . Welcome back dad . I said faking a smile. Just then we had immy's footsteps.  Are you with your friends in the house ? He asked looking upstairs.  No am alone I quickly said standing up.
