Encounter......

several days have passed, Annabelle became more cautious of her surroundings but she can't move becuz of the instructions given to her....

one particular afternoon, Annabelle went to the river to fetch water with little Ariana tailing her.... when she reached the bank of the river she felt something, at first she ignored not until she heard Ariana asking what was submerging from inside the river, Annabelle dropped the bucket nd picked Ariana up to move away from the river, after making sure the distance between the river nd them is long enough she tried to look closely,then she saw a figure of a man nd she became alarmed,she drew out a knife nd swung it directly to the stranger,(after being attacked countless times, she now move with different kinds of knives)............ the strange man dodge the knife effortlessly but it didn't stop Annabelle from drawing another knife out nd swung it again... the man seeing it dodged it again, raised both his hands up.. I mean no harm, pls can u stop attacking me he shouted.... Annabelle draw another knife out but didn't swung it yet... who are u? she shout asked the man... My name is Lewis nd I'm looking for my sister.. I really mean no harm..the man named Lewis said.... nd what made u think I'm stupid enough to believe that. Does this place looks like where people live or do u think u can find ur so call sister here? Due to various circumstances Annabelle refused to believe anyone not to talk of a stranger... please I really mean no harm.. can u pls drop d knife I'm really tired of shouting nd I'm feeling cold here... can u allow me wear some clothes pls.....Alryt then Annabelle agreed but she didn't drop the knife.... she took her stan... nd watched the man, looking for opening if ever the man wanted to play any dirty game..... After the man put on some clothes.. he went closer to where Annabelle was standing... upon seeing each other closely they both had the same expression which is the one of shock.... Annabelle was the first to compose herself.... immediately she went on her knees nd bow in front of the man asking for forgiveness... little Ariana was confused about the turn of event... though she's just three, she's way intelligent than the kids of her age..... My prince.. sorry I couldn't recognized u Annabelle said to Lewis.... There's nth to be sorry about, I understand ur point of view... Big sister I'm glad to see u.... Lewis hugged Annabelle... After the heartwarming hug Lewis finally freed Annabelle from his embrace..... There's alot to ask but the most important thing is what are u doing here Lewis asked the burning question.....
