Sisters De Milo

10.

Larota

I developed a special bond with my sisters that unites us. It allows us many things. One of them is to feel when something is wrong with one of us. I just felt that in Talena as we were returning home.

I chased Lupus in front of the three of them and blocked the way. Talena stopped thinking when her horse stopped.

"Talena? Come on, tell me what's bothering you, you've been so pensive since this morning." I said gently.

Talena looked at us and sighed.

„I was in such a hurry this morning as I was getting ready that I didn't see Maggie in the room. I didn't pay attention, I opened that knife drawer that's in my closet, and she saw it."

„And? What did you tell her?"

„Just to never open that drawer. And she promised me she wouldn't."

„You know she's obedient. She won't touch that drawer, and you can move the weapon somewhere else if you want. Problem solved!" I said with a smile.

„That's not the point, Lara. I know she's an obedient girl and she'll obey me, that doesn't worry me. I worry about how much longer I will be able to hide from her that I am not what she thinks. What will she think of me when she realizes I'm a criminal. And all these years I've been teaching her to do the opposite of what I do every day."

I looked at her sympathetically realizing her worries. She looked down and continued talking.

„Besides, how much longer will I be able to hide her existence from this world. Every time we kill someone, rob, cheat, we have more and more enemies who are eager to take revenge on us. They tried to kill Rosabel a few days ago. What will happen when one day the news spreads that I, Talena De Milo, have a daughter for whom I would give my life. Imagine how dangerous she would be then, many would see in her a chance to take revenge on us."

She looked up and looked up at the sky, which was beginning to clear. The rain slowly stopped falling.

„My scars have not healed yet. I don't want to lose her like I lost him... It would break my heart, again, and I don't think I would survive it." She said quietly.

Venus, Amoly and I looked at Talena who was our sister, our partner in crime, the mother of a wonderful child, and a girl with deep scars on her heart. She is too young and already has so many worries.

„Talena." Venus called to her.

„After that event, I watched the pain destroy and eat you. I was sorry I couldn't do anything. But after that, when we finally saw your smile again, I was overjoyed. And it all happened because of Magdalenа. The three of us knew from the beginning that it would be too hard to be a mother and a criminal at the same time. However, when I saw Maggie help you deal with the pain, I swore. I swore that I would protect that little creature as best I could."

Venus's little speech made Talena smile.

„Maggie loves you very much, Taly. She is attached to you and would do anything to be with you. The day will come when she will find out the real truth about you and we have no idea how she will react then. But know that she will love you because you are her mom. And a mother who really cares about her child." Amy added.

Talena wanted to say something but my crying interrupted her.

„This is so beautiful and sad! I'm sorry but I can't..." I took out a handkerchief and blew my nose.

„You idiot." Amy told me with a sigh.

Talens's mood improved again.

„What would I do without my sisters? Thank you."
