46 Definitely Her 7 (1/2)

All through that day, it felt like she avoided me because I couldn't get a glimpse of her as she handled everything.

But I knew where she would be at night. So I went to the room to await her arrival.

The room was particularly empty, save crystals everywhere on the walls, the glass-ice coffin at the middle of the room and a single chair by it side where she sat.

It didn't take long though, she was at the door. I had a thing for recognizing people close to me from their footsteps and I did know hers.

I quickly concealed my presence and hid at the back of the door. She opened it and walked in. As soon as the door shut behind her, she burst into a pool of tears as she cried walking to his side.

”I thought I might find you here” I said as I undid the spell to hide my appearance.

She turned towards me and I never could have prepared myself for the sight I saw. It broke me in pieces, she was...

”Isadora, you are... ” I didn't finish my sentence before she flung herself into my arms.

She cried her eyes out. From what I saw on her face, she had not slept for that three days and three nights straight.

She had eye bags, her eyes were swollen, there was a dark circle under her eye lids. She looked terrible, this was not the beautiful daughter I knew, she was the terrible version of her.

But amidst all that, she took control of the reins and ruled the kingdom.

”There, there Isadora. Let it all out, let it out. Father is here now. I am sorry for bothering you with everything and leaving you to take care of things on your own.”

”I miss her, I miss him. I miss them both” she said in between sobs”

”You did well holding on that long.”
