Sophia woke up to Mirabell tapping her shoulder repeatedly. She rose out of her makeshift bed and gave a nod in thanks to the girl.

"Abuela brought some clothes up for you, they are on the vanity." She said cheerily

"Breakfast is in 10!" She softly yelled exiting the room.

Sophia turned to the clothes and looked at them hesitantly. She had always wore her mother's dress but, she supposed this could do for today. It was a soft Grey dress with pink blossoms on the bottom. It was definitely pretty and fit her well. She grabbed her locket placing it on her neck and brushed her hair so it was not as tangled.

She turned exiting the room, still in her dads signature red shoes, and made her way downstairs to the breakfast table. When she got there and found she was the last one she blushed out of embarrassment and sat down in the last chair next to Camilo and Isabella.

"Good Morning" Camilo said. You turned and nodded as a way to say Good Morning back and turned to Abuela.

"Today is another day where we bless the Town as people to help this town. Let's have a wonderful breakfast in  honor of our new family memeber, Sophia, now let us eat!" She said sitting down as people began eating. She was slightly worried about how she didn't know what to do. She turned to Abuela and wrote in her journal "I want to help."

"Oh! Wonderful! Hm you can go with Camilo today, he has to help out in the church, painting, I'm sure they would love the extra help!" She said cheerily.

Sophia nodded and turned back to her food finishing it up before turning to Camilo. He was almost done so, she patiently waited until he finished.

"Alright hermosa, stick with me we don't want to have any pretty girls getting hurt." He said playfully. In response she flicked his forehead and wrote "I can manage, now where is this church?"

"Right come with me!"

They walked in silence her sparring some glances over to him and he to her. He was undeniably cute and seemed nice. She couldn't resist sneaking glances to him.

"We are here! Follow me I'll help show you around where you can help us!" He said so energetically it boosted her energy a lot.

"Hey Camilo! We're painting today, I'm glad you could help." A older looking gruff man said.

"Whos this pretty girl~" A tall, thick blonde haired tan boy said flirtatiously. He stood in a teasing type of way reminding her of Camilo, sort of. Of course in her opinion, Camilo was much prettier.

"Sophia, she's mute she can't talk to you Alessandro." He said in a annoyed tone.

"Perfect! More time for me to talk!" He said standing straight and walking over to her.

"The names Alessandro, the prettiest guy you'll ever meet Sophia." He said with a smirk. He was wrong, he might be handsome but he still didn't attract her.

"Let's get to work everyone!" The gruffy man said.

"Right!" Everyone said.

I eventually took a coroner, away from everyone, to spare explanation, and began painting. It was so peaceful. The chattering from behind her dimmed in her ears till it was silent, peaceful, heart-warming. Her hand moved on its own as she painted it. It was so mesmerizing to her, so time consuming, so fun. A huge smile plastered her face as she painted. Of course, all peace never lasts.

"Uh little girl are you sure you should be helping?" A large man said.

She gave a nod hoping that would satisfy him but, apparently, it did not.

"Can't you talk, use your words" he said annoyed.

Her eyebrows dipped as she nodded again.

"Just talk damn bitch it's not hard! USE YOUR WORDS. GO HOME BITCH." He screamed in her ears. Her hands came up to her ears as she covered them silent tears trickling down. That's when she made eye contact with Camilo who was walking over. She stood up, smacked the man, and ran out covering her ears, while she ran she heard a faint voice.

"SOPHIA WAIT!"

She exited the church and ran to the nearest tree sitting down wiping her tears.

Why couldn't she just talk?

It wasn't hard.

Everyone else could do it.

So why?

Why?

Why was she different?

"Sophia?" She heard a sweet voice say. She turned her head as Camilo sat down, she then looked the other way.

"Are you okay? I am so, so, so, sorry about that. The villagers never usually act like that just that guy was you know mean and-" he was cutoff with a hand put on his shoulder. He turned and gazed into Sophia dark brown eyes. She grabbed her journal and wrote messily

"I know, It's okay. I just wish I could speak." She wrote looking down.

"You know what? I will help you speak! After all, I would really like to get to know you! Alessandro wasn't lying your very pretty and-" he was cut off again with a hug. It was warm and long, sweet. He looked down a small blush crowding his checks, he had never been embraced by a girl who wasn't a family member. Eventually, he hugged back and said..









"I will help you. I promise."
