The evening soon fell down on the magical town in Columbia, the hushed whispers of the people slowly filled the air as they retired to their home.

You watched as the townsfolk light up the lanterns and candles around the town, the beautiful light illuminate the chilly and peaceful night.

The quiet footsteps that came from behind you caught your attention, you blinked slowly and turned your head to look at the owner of those footsteps.

"Hola, mi cariño." Isabella cooed sweetly, her pretty smile made your heart skipped a beat and you can feel your face heating up by the close proximity between you and her.

"H-hello.." You murmured, you scoot away from the graceful and young lady who could only giggle adorably by your flustered action. Her heart swelled proudly with happiness from the reaction she had managed to pull from you.

You averted your gaze away from her, (color) eyes looking back at the beautiful evening scenery of the town that gave you. You silently admire the beauty infront of you and you could only wish for your mother to be by your side to watch this scenery with you.

"Hey. There's no need to be upset." Isabella's voice reached your ears and you don't know if you can cheer up by her statement or not because you were only a six years old girl who lost her mother in an incurable disease a month ago.

You didn't say anything, you just nodded your head to her words and Isabella couldn't help but get annoyed.

Why do you still miss your mother? Your mother is a worthless human being and her only good use were the time she gave birth to you, but after that? She's pretty much useless in their community.

You have them, the amazing Madrigals at your side, they were there when your mother fell ill, they were there when the funeral was supported by them and they were there when you were crying out of sadness and pain.

So why are you still holding onto someone who's not even here?

Isabella heaved a sigh, she pursed her lips before kneeling down beside you and poke your cheek to get your attention.

Her heart pound roughly inside her chest when you gave her a side glance, you looked so adorable and innocent while looking at her like that which made the urge of wanting to hold you again is resurfacing.

Her lips curled up into a smile and it complimented her beauty, she wrapped her arms around you and the quiet gasp you let out had blessed her ears.

"I'm here, okay? Me and my family are here for you so you don't need to be sad." Isabella stated, her dark eyes sparkling with love and adoration as she stared at your baby face.

Her words made you feel reassured, what she said is true. The madrigals had always been there from the start, they are always around you, ready to jump in and help you in anything. You wondered about it at first but as the time went on, you decided to shrugged off the thought and trusted each of them.

"Okay, I'll try not to be sad anymore." You said with a small smile before wrapping your arms around her neck.

Isabella giggled, it may sound pretty and elegant for you but her giggles are the sign that she succeeded to make you trust them even more, you  are slowly getting tempted as you fall onto the trap they have set just for you.

And they love watching you fall for it.

Luisa let out a strained groan.

Her eyes looking around your parents' bedroom to use as your father's weapon but unfortunately, the noose that her family found on the closet is already gone.
