As the night ended and a new day began. A little two-year-old girl was trying to wake up her uncle.
*slap*
"Stop,"
*slap.. slap*
" Stop it! Let me sleep in peace, go wake up your daddy instead of me" Daniel's body hurt, and he wanted to go back to sleep. However, his niece was not allowing him to go back to sleep.
" daddy is up! Mammy is up! You wake up!" The reason she wanted Daniel to wake up was so that she could show him the unknown visitors to their home. Daniel went back to sleep and ignored her anymore. When she realized Daniel had turned around and start to not pay attention to her. She ran to the window and took off the curtains so that the sun could light up the darkroom.
"Okay! I'm up let go I'm down," The little girl was happy to where she started jumping up and down after she heard his words. Daniel was thinking to himself I'm hungry anyway let me just go downstairs to grab something to eat before I sneak back up here to sleep.
Daniel held hands with his little niece Pia and they headed downstairs. It surprised Daniel to see the living room Lively at this hour. His auntie and Diego's wife were in the kitchen cooking and complaining about something, while his uncle and Diego were in the living room talking to somebody. As he finally stepped off the stairs, his knees ran off and went to her dad. " Dad, I woke up Daniel for you are you happy," She told her father Diego as she pointed at Daniel.
"Pia! I told you not to wake up your uncle," At first Diego wanted to punish his daughter for her misbehavior but after looking at her little innocent face he couldn't bear punishing her. Hearing the Ruckus in the living room his aunt and Diego's wife stepped outside the kitchen and saw Deniel. Auntie couldn't help but shout at Daniel when she saw some of his bandages unwrapped. "Daniel are you out of bed the Healer of the Town told us to make sure you stay in bed for at least two days before your arms fully reconciled," Hearing that the town's healer had bandaged him up made a big frown appear on Daniel's face. Ever since Daniel had learned the truth of how his mother died, he couldn't help but hate the town's healer.
Daniel's Auntie could mentally facepalm herself. She knew how Daniel always likes to act rash and impulsive. She knew Daniel hated the town's healer but she couldn't help herself but tell him he had bandaged him up. Thinking that Daniel might rip off the bandages because the town's healer, she ran to his side quickly and grab his arms. She pleaded to him in kind words "Daniel, I know you hate the town's healer but it's for your own good to keep the bandages on your arms have been seriously burned.
Looking at this an expression of his auntie Daniel couldn't help but not to her. Even though he hated the town's healer with all his heart, he had listened to that person's words for his auntie sake. After they settled the matter his auntie push Daniel tours to living room and made him sit next to Diego. After Daniel had sat down next to Diego his eyes went wide. It was because the person his uncle and Diego had been talking to was his grandfather that had gone on a business trip. Daniel stood up and hugged his grandfather even though his arms hurt. Daniel didn't hug his grandfather because he had missed them or that they were close. He hugged them because it was a tradition made by him and Diego to where every time his grandfather came back they would hug him and take away his whip.
His grandfather knew what Daniel was trying to do, so he lightly tapped him on the back and whispered in his ears. "Diego had already beat you to it, After hearing those words from his grandfather Diego couldn't help but look at his grandfather and smile and then give him a genuine hug. After they both sat down his uncle talked about how the Spanish officer had come to their Town looking to expand Spanish control over Mexico. After hearing those words everybody in the living room has looks of disgust and frowns on their faces.
His uncle continued to talk about how the officer it had threatened to burn down the town if the marriage didn't accept his proposal in the next 3 weeks. "Father we should band all the men together on the town I protect what's ours," claim Diego rage eminent in his voice. "I'm sorry Diego but if we were to do what you say I would count us as traitors of the peace treaty between Mexico and Spain," Diego was very much shocked at hearing his father now and hearing him last night all that rage and anger had basically disappeared with depression and sadness. "my understanding the Spanish could only colonize the South and they're breaking the treaty by trying to colonize apart from the North," Hearing those words from the grandfather Diego and Daniel's face has changed from gloomy to Happy.
" If that's the case we should contact the Mexican soldiers there to Two Towns away from here," said Daniel to his grandfather. " We tried to do that however the Spanish had paid off the soldiers," Voice full of Rage Daniel stated "those bastards had sold off their own countrymen for their own benefit,"
Everyone in the living room had gloomy faces and sour mood at this point knowing that they couldn't do anything to stop the Spanish. When his aunt and Diego's wife had come to the room carrying plates for the food and told everyone to not sour them would before and enjoy their food. After everyone had filled up their bellies with food and the tables were clean Diego's grandfather told him to come take a walk with him.
