~MIGUEL POV~

We arrived at the side of a tall building. I watched as Hector took off his arm, and shot it up towards the balcony. It landed next to the window, knocking on it, alerting whoever was inside.

A woman skeleton opened the door and glared down at us.

"You better have my dress, Hector!"

"Hola, Ceci!"

The woman tossed Hector his arm back, before tossing down a ladder. Maria and I all started climbing the ladder. I looked down and Hector looked reluctant to follow.

"Hola."

She said nothing as she waited for Hector. Once he climbed in and saw the look on the other skeleton, he clapped his hands and said, "Ceci I lost the dress."

The woman yelled at him in Spanish. I looked around uninterested. I watched as Dante began to sniff around, leaving the room.

"Dante!" I hissed.

Dante ignored me and walked through a door.

"Dante!" I called. "Dante we shouldn't be in here!"

I followed Dante and accidentally stumbled upon a naked skeleton. I shot him an apologetic look, and continued to follow the dog.

I jumped back when I saw a colorful hand slap Dante. An Alebrije popped out and hissed at him.

I began calling for him again after he took of toward the alebrije. I chased after him, and we landed behind a lady with her back turned. I was able to grab Dante and I hoped he would quiet down, but no such luck.

He kept barking, which made the woman turn around.

"You! How did you get in here?"
