In a soul of two one was fictitious and the other was facing reality what if the fabricated comes seeing the reality of a mortal, or was it all devised?
Annaleese Hansley daughter of the well known businessman Arthur Hansley and her mother Elizabeth...
"Hear my soul speak: The very instant that I saw you. My heart fly to your service."

Thankfully I reached home just in time before it gets dark, I sneakily went inside the house making sure mom doesn't hear me, but I was wrong.
"Where have you been William?"
I groaned in annoyance and faced her, I didn't tell her that I was going out to tour around town so she's probably mad.
"Mom that isn't my name, and I was just strolling around town, I'm sorry for not telling you."
I walked closer to her and wrapped my hands around her and kissed her cheek.
"Don't ever do that again Will, your the only one that I have now."
"I promise mom."
She smiled and we both let go of the hug, she walked to the kitchen and got some water for me, she handed me the glass and I sat down in one of the chairs.
"You know Will, at times like this you shouldn't be going out, were going to meet the family tommorow, and live with them starting tommorow."
"Ughhh, were moving again?"
"Yes, now not another word about it."
"Fine, now why are we staying with them?"
"One of the maids there are retiring, I guess, and the person who hired me has a daughter, who is very close to that maid, but her father is planning to let the maid rest, he said that maid has been with them ever since his wife died... and that's why he hired me, he wants me close to his daughter."
I just listened to her but got lost when I thought of Annaleese again, I wonder what she's doing right now... Is she doing fine? Feeling great?

I opened the door of my room and immediately plopped myself into my bed, I laid myself there for a while, just then I heard someone knocking at the door.
"Come in."
I looked back to see who was at the door and my face softened seeing aunt May.
"I brought food for you dear, your father was looking for you, have you guys talked already?"
She put the food on my bedside table and sat on the bed with me.
"Yeah, well as usual he just talked to me for a bit and instantly asked on why I sneaked out, he didn't even asked me if I was fine and things like that."
"Oh dear, your father must be very tired and-"
"Tired... he always do that, I don't even know if he's concerned with me..."
"You know your father was never like that, I know there is still a good side of him, I can still feel it, he must be just stressed out of things."
"Yeah... stressed out."
"Oh and one moment."
She got up from the bed and got something from the tray which I was confused of, she sat back on my bed and opened a box that has a necklace?A sapphire necklace, I stared at in awe, it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever laid my eyes on, I looked at aunt May and she grinned at me.
"This was your mother's necklace... she asked me to give it to you before she died, and this letter also I never opened it, so you can read it if you want."
She handed it to me and I gladly accepted it, I stared at the folded envelope and I opened it with trembling hands.

To My Dear Annaleese,
I just wanna say that these past few weeks was one of the most happiest days of my life, after I found out that I was going to have a lovely babygirl I can't stop but to feel excited on how you will look, will you have my hair? Or will you have your father's features? But today I have decided to name you Annaleese, if ever someone will read this, I hope that's going to be you my daughter.
Sabemos lo que somos, pero no lo que podemos ser.
After I read the letter I've waited for sadness to contemplate me, but then I could feel happiness saround me,I never expected for mom to write a letter to me, having the solicitude of a mother even if she's not there can be one of the best feelings.
"Oh aunt May thank you!"
I looked at her and hugged her.
"I promised your mother to give it to you, now's the right time, because I'm ganno be-"
"What is it aunt May?"
She just grinned from ear to ear and then held my hand.
"Nothing dear, you better prepare yourself for dinner later, and if your hungry you can eat the food that I prepared."
She got up from the bed and walked to the door.
She gave me one last beam, then shut the door, leaving me completely smiling, I looked at the envelope and the sapphire necklace on my hand.
"Thank you mom..."
I put the letter in my bedside drawer and got up to change into a classy white dress that fit perfectly, I put the necklace around my neck and I stared at it at the mirror, I noticed how the necklace has words that is carved at the back of it, which was similar to the letter I have.
Sabemos lo que somos, pero no lo que podemos ser.
"We know what we are, but not what we may be..."
I shrugged and looked at the food in my table, I ate the food while looking at the window, I noticed the sun was starting to set, as I looked outside a thought of Will come up again in my mind, but one thing I know is that I was safe and comfortable around him.
