Chapter 1 - 1.NOTHING IS PERFECT

My name is Stacy Williams popularly known as Star or you can say was popularly called star.

Growing up my life was what you say perfect but little did I know that nothing is perfect in this world. I lived with my family which consisted of My dad,mum,2 elder brothers and then me. I was the baby of the house always got what I wanted at the snap of my fingers, never had to beg for anything most especially from my brothers who were always looking out for me and I loved the attention I got from them as much as I loved them. we were one happy family living a normal and peaceful life until tragedy struck.

It happened a year after I got into college, we were on break at that period but due to delay in submitting my paperwork that faithful day I couldn't make it home. After I was able to conclude everything for that semester I headed home so happy to be able to meet my parents and brothers again. I couldn't help but think about all the love I was going to receive when I got home, the delicious meal and treats, hmmmm I could smell it from were I was. with that smile I alighted from the plane and went towards the waiting lodge but I couldn't find any member of my family, with a frown on my face I remembered that hadn't even spoken to them for the past 4 days not to talk of informing them of my impending arrival. I fished out my phone with the thought of call my dad but then I decided why don't I surprise my family after all they've always been giving me surprises. with that in mind I hailed down a taxi and gave him my address, instead of the driver to move he just kept staring at both me and the paper. Not been used to been stared at like a specimen going to be used for an experiment I asked him harshly what the problem was. Nothing was his reply, then move I had said but he still looked at me strangely. After contemplating I guess, he had asked me what I was going to Seattle to do, I told him I was coming back from school and I wanted to surprise my family. he then asked again if i had spoken to them recently which I replied no.

I could still remember the look of pity he gave me before he asked me if I was sure I wanted to go there and I told him yes. with that been said we drove in silence but I couldn't help but notice the sympathic looks he gave me which I choose to ignore and began making a list of things I was going to do with my family before going back to school.

I knew something was wrong the moment we pulled into my estate, everywhere looked gloomy, Cops here and there, ambulances,fallen houses,shops e.t.c, I knew something bad definitely had happened. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even know that the driver had been stopped. looking around I noticed the inspector q uestioning the driver and the gestures he made towards me. Alighting from the car I worked up to the inspector who questioned me and asked what I was doing here, which I told him I came to see my family, before he could reply i sighted a stretcher carrying a covered dead body but the hand was outside the cloth but that wasn't what got my attention, it was the bracelet on the hand and I could recognize that bracelet anywhere cause I was the one who had it made and customized solely for my family as a family heirloom just last Christmas. without sparing a glance at the officer I ran towards the ambulance, the body was taken to and till this day I wished I never went there.
