A Mexican Folklore (2)

     Abila wasn't as presumptuous in her social life and in fact, she was very content on being alone.  Abilia wasn't the type of girl anyone would think was a narcissistic and unstable human being.  Those who knew her well were quite aware of this situation, and were keeping it clandestine from the rest of the world.  This precipitous situation was soon going to elevate into a compelling mystery for the whole country of Mexico.
     Abila and her family woke up one Sunday morning, long before Abila's polemical and shadowed problem.  Abila was actually a normal, outgoing girl who was objective to the world around her.  She didn't care about her ludicrous living conditions and she didn't care about going to the United States.  She didn't know that this pernicious expedition was longed for by her parents.  On this Sunday morning, Abila's parents woke her up saying,"We're going to be free; wake up."  Abila did so without question although she had many.  The United States was only a 45 minute drive away, but to Abila it seemed like hours.  The fence she saw between her and the United States bothered her.  "Why can't we go over there?" she asked.  Her parents pushed off this inquisition and told her to get outside and stay behind the car as they examined the situation.  Almost instantly after her parents left the safety of the car, two gun shots boomed from above killing both of Abila's parents.  The event seemed to occur in slow motion, but as soon as Abila heard the shots, she sprinted as fast as she could.  Surprisingly, they did not shoot her, but her assumptions concluded that it's because of her child innocence.  As she ran she thought of the life that she used to have and the way it will soon be.  Little did she know that the bad things were just beginning.
