Lets get working.” Annabelle started the day with going out to the street and making sure the supplies to the merchant store were delivered. Later on she was making sure that new coming visitors were finding their way to the Inn without trouble. After that she went back to the office and found Malcolm doing paperwork at his desk. He looked very tiresome and she guessed that it was because it was nearing the end of the work day. “Hello Malcolm. I am going to head home now. I will see you tomorrow,” says Annabelle. “Alright Crimson. I will see you tomorrow,” he replied. Annabelle headed home not knowing what to expect when she opened the door. She was so pleased with how her day went that she forgot that she was supposed to be Crimson. “Hello Crimson,” says an elderly women. “Hello Mrs. White. How are you?” she replied in her normal girl voice. “Annabelle?” said Mrs.White “Huh uh, I mean hello,” she said in a manly voice. “ It is you Annabelle. You are breaking the law!
