CHAPTER 11 :: INSIDE THE WALLS

"Dolores, calm down! Everything's going to be---" 

SLAM! Dolores' door shuts tight before Isabela can even comfort her favorite troubled cousin. Isabela knocks on the door, pleading to talk to Dolores but all she can hear is weeping and anger on the other side. Isabela sighs as she looks down on the tiled floor, hoping to find an answer only for her shoulder to be tapped by none other than her strong sister, Luisa.

"Luisa, are you alright---" It Looks like no one is letting Isabela finish her sentences today as her muscular sibling suddenly pulled her into a tight, threatening hug, not allowing Isabela to breathe. "Isa, Mirabel just got injured on her way home," Luisa sniffed, her delicate, soft, and caring side making an appearance. Isabela tenses as she felt worried through her sibling's embrace. "Where is she right now---?" 

"She's with Mama, getting healed up," Luisa sniffed again but this time put down Isabela as she wiped a few tears.

"How so...?"

"What if... 

Camilo is actually helping the magic?"

The moment he would get his answers. He looks ahead and catches a glimpse of Pepito's tail in the darkness. When suddenly the shard the cat had held was lifted alongside the cat. Camilo cautiously squints his eyes and rubs his hands as he approached the figure slowly. The hidden entrance had been filled with murky creepy cracks, breathing as if it was alive. The green glow of the shard floated in the darkness as if it was held. And suddenly, the halls were filled with dark clouds as if... it was stormy even within the house.

And when Camilo got a better look--- THUNDER. A bolt of lightning lit the room and there he saw... a middle-aged lady with ginger hair, whose braids were as worn out as her clothes. She had clouds wrapped around her head and Pepito on her shoulder. Her green eyes were enhanced by the glowing green shards she got from her little accomplice. She was none other than,
