Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Griffins

"Mom, i am home" Maya called out to her mom as she got home. "yes darling, you are late again today" Mrs Griffin shouted from the kitchen. "i know" Maya yelled back and went to meet her mom in the kitchen. "so what are we having for dinner tonight?" Maya asked her mom. "no food for you to tonight" Mrs Griffin replied her. "what!!!!, why!!!!! " Maya asked with annoyance. "don't raise your voice on me young lady" Mrs Griffin said. "you are just like Andrew, always so annoying " Maya says then walks out of the kitchen with her mom following her from behind. "what about Andrew, is he alright " Miss Griffin asked. "he is fine, it is just that he believes so much in myths and stories that they are driving him crazy" she replied. "it is not bad to have something you believe in" Mrs Griffin said. ' if they are dumb childhood stories, it is bad" Maya replied bluntly. "you know, your father also believed in something" Mrs Griffin said to her. "And what was that" Maya asked in a soft tone. "your Father believed in the existence of a god called Theseus" Mrs Griffin said. "Theseus!!, Theseus!!!, Theseus!!!, what is with the world with this Theseus guy, can you people talk about something real for a change, jezz" Maya rasped and ran upstairs to her room annoyed. "are you not going to eat, i made your favourite" Mrs Griffin shouted at the top of her voice but Maya did not reply. "And i made much, thinking you would eat. Well i will eat it all, alone" Mrs Griffin continued and behold Maya came running down "oh no you don't" she said as they both ran into the kitchen.

"you remind me of your father" Mrs Griffin said, "Before he died, he never missed a chance to eat to his heart's content" she said with Maya's head placed on her laps. "i miss him" Mrs Griffin said then began to weep. "stop it, i am here for you okay" Maya said to her mom, wiping her tears for her. "i am okay" Mrs Griffin said as she stood up. "it is already pass bedtime, go to bed already" Mrs Griffin continued, then left Maya for the Kitchen and continued to weep. Maya followed her and hugged her from behind and they both cried.

Mr Peter Griffin, husband of Anne Griffin and father of Maya Griffin, was a successful construction engineer but his life was short lived. He died in a deadly car accident seventeen years ago, the day Maya was born. The moment Maya came to this world, Peter left for the other. It was like a soul for another. All he knew was that his wife was rushed to the hospital, whether she gave birth or not, Peter never knew. When a call was made to him that his wife had given birth , the person at the receiving end said he had died. Rumours also had it that his mother also died when she gave birth to him. He was not the only child of his father but the only one of his mother.

"oh my God" Maya said as she jumped off her bed and ran into the bathroom after she realized that she had overslept. She quickly showered, got dress and made her way downstairs. "Mom, why did you not wake me up?" Maya asked her mother the instant she saw her in the sitting room. "well, you came back home late yesterday and i thought you needed a lot of rest" Her mother replied. "Now i am late" Maya said and ran into the kitchen. "there is nothing to eat!!!" Maya rasped. "Young lady, if you want something to eat then prepare it yourself" Mrs Griffin said. "You are old enough to care for yourself" she continued. "when are you going to work?" Maya asked with a fake smile on her face. "since when did you care about when i leave for work" Mrs Griffin asked as she operated her smart phone. "you know i work from home now right?" she continued. "well, you started working from home because of me and now you are abandoning me, yet you still use me as an excuse to work from home" Maya said. "if you leave now, you would be five minutes late for first period" Mrs Griffin said as she checked her wrist watch. "seriously" Maya shouted and ran out of the house and headed for Coleman high.

Maya Griffin , the only child of the Griffins is an aspiring scientists and one of the most outstanding students at Coleman high. She lives with her mother Mrs Griffin, her only surviving parent. Maya is 5.6ft tall and she has a long black hair with eyes shaped like that of a cat. A beautiful girl that all the boys at school tripped for, but for a reason known only to her, she chose Andrew. She was slender even with all the food she consumed everyday . Her hobbies are reading, doing researches and eating even when she does not know how to prepare any basic meal. The one thing Maya hated more than anything in the world was Myths and legends that could not be proven scientifically.

Mrs Anne Griffin, is Maya's mother, the one person Maya loves the most in the whole world. Ever since Peter's death, she took care of Maya with so much love and not for once did she make Maya feel the absence of her father. She is a Music director who works from home and makes enough money to care for her and Maya. She loves only two things, Maya and her work. And these are the Griffins. A small family, living in a world with Mysteries beyond man's imagination, where mysteries yet to be unraveled dwells, a world where the unexpected becomes expected, a world where fantasies are all but unreal, a world of Neybiyms and humans. A world of mysteries, Nebearth
