Preparations

" How do you feel today, My child." Number 2 asked Annabel while helping out with the preparation for the feast. Annabel's mood has being off lately, she was no longer the chatty girl she used to be, a lot had changed her.

" Humm, I feel okay Mamito." She responded to get Number 2's mind off worrying about her. Deep down she knew she felt worser than she felt the day before, everyday her heart acheness grew and her spirit faded.

" Oh Annabel! My poor little child! We both know feeling okay is not a thing. I understand how you feel." She said and moved closer to her.

Understand how she felt? How can she understand something she had never gone through? How can she understand loving someone you can never be with? No she never can.

" Hmmm hmm." She replied since she wasn't in the mood to talk. 

" You will be fine, just hang in there." Number 2 assured her and stroked her hair gently.
