When i was about five years our family was blessed with another child my baby brother i was so excited and looking forward to having a playmate for most times if not at school was mostly bored and being among older people that gave me little time or got tired playing with me.
He brought another level of happiness in the family but later found myself getting jealousy for he was taking all the attention from me for himself and i started feeling bored everything now was always for Jamie my little brother even school wasn't fun anymore, Mom and Dad got so busy with work and Dad would rarely come to my room to tell me stories like he used to.
Tho that same period my parents had taken on a young uncle called Sam related to me from dad's side, Dad was to support him through college he was done with primary level for his parents were staying then in another community that didn't have a good institution for him why Dad had to accommodate him for college.
Uncle Sam came earlier before schools began so that he could get used to the environment and him seemed friendly so i got comfortable with him being around we got close and became playmates as baby Jamie was always a cry baby and had all the attention for himself i had stopped playing with him, Now our house had many papyrus tress that Dad had grown over years and me and Uncle Sam developed a habit of going out there and play later we turned it into our hide out I enjoyed exploring and discovering new things around it and some trees had grown which we would climb and gather some fruits like mangoes and guava that we would eat also take home as well we loved to look at different birds and insect for the house was built near a river and on hill which gave us a nice view to see so many things below ground i learnt so much from Uncle Sam since he knew most of the things i didn't.
One day uncle Sam suggested that he put a shelter between some trees that we could rest in whenever we were there to play and maybe move some old stuff out of the main house to make it feel more inviting, i loved drawing and playing with colors so I offered different items to decorated our place, It took a month to finish the place since some times he was busy with school work or return late from his school but also collecting all the materials for it were not easy to gather and some we had to ask Dad to help. Dad believed he would take care of me and nothing will happen to me as an Uncle even tho was a stubborn child, Dad also noted how they had became too busy for me they thought me playing with my Uncle Sam would make me creative and won't feel lonely or neglected.
After some good weeks the shade was completed had even moved most of my toys in that place sometime after we started to inviting some of our friends to play with us mostly neighbors, things went on like that for months but with few incidences occurring once awhile when we would be alone Uncle Sam become so touchy with me out of the blue bring up topics of what old people do. As innocent as I was never focused so much about his stories/ topics sometimes he would call me naive, through my childhood was chubby and looked older than my age was seven but looked like ten years old Uncle Sam then was fifteen.
One day I went out to our shade over the weekend while Mom and Dad had gone to visit some friends of theirs had some drawing and coloring work to do as a school project and wanted to add natural leaves to the work to make it more creative, had left Uncle Sam attending to some house work tho he saw me move out as I was gathering my leaves got distracted a bit started to play with some toys, after a shot time Uncle Sam came and found me playing.
"I thought you came to work on your project for school did you forget", he asked as he made himself busy with organizing the place " i just got distracted a bit ", replied. when he was done he came and lied next to me I was so focused on my work and didn't realize how long he was looking at me as I turned to pick my colors he touched my hand and told me that i was a beautiful girl looking at me and his face so close to mine it happened so fast but he kissed me on my lips didn't understand what he was doing i thought he was playing with me, he pushed my book and colors away as i was going to reach for them again he held my hands and said " I am going to teach you a game would you like to play with me?" I was naive and he took advantage of it.
He began by saying " This game is called do what i tell you to do,your going to do exactly what i ask you to do". Me being the inquisitive girl got excited to play the game, he continued to say that some things in this game were good for young girls like me to learn for future", I loved to play so I turned looked at him and asked him to show me.
" Lesson number 1 just to know your getting me right, i want you to kiss me on my lips which i did tho he held my head and kissed me longer after some seconds he let go and looked at me with a smile on his face saying how he had enjoyed the kiss, then he instructed we kiss more so that i can master the game. In my head never ever did it occur to me that this could be a dangerous game or wondered to ask what type of the game it was and it felt kind of nice and also in my defense had seen Mom and Dad kiss themselves sometimes and Mom would smile after which i thought was their way of playing with each other, it felt normal but then somehow things took a turn as Uncle Sam placed my hand to something that felt hard in his trousers was a bit confused so I asked him what it was and he looked at me but his face had changed, he was sweating and breathing very fast he moved so fast the next thing i know i was lying on the floor and was on top of me I got scared and my heart was beating fast as he held me down i started to try to move but he held me down and heard him say don't move or i will slap you, now all the scare was all over me I fought to get my hands free saying that his game was starting to hurt me that he should change it but it was like he couldn't hear me for the more i fought the more he held on and i started to cry which got him more angry and he slapped me on my leg after he had pulled my dress up.
He looked at me with a serious face and said " i want you to be good girl and just lie down quietly for the less you fight me the better for you", I saw him pull down his pants and then mine I was crying and asking him to let me go but he didn't only for him to push my legs apart and what happened next will never forget the pain it caused me. After a few minutes that felt like eternity to me i had him stop and fall off me I was crying so hard for the pain i felt but after some minutes it started to cool down, I felt so much hate towards Uncle Sam and wanted to get back home and just report him to my parents. When i got up to go he held my hand looked at me with a very serious face and said "if u ever mention what just happened here to anyone am going to hurt you more than what I just did, you don't want to get hurt a gain, do you"? He questioned and said "this is going to be our little secret".
