the lost madrigal

part 2

Maria gulped. "Your maria rojas then?" She looked to see mirabel, her heart froze seeing her baby sister. "Hey" she bljmked as mirabel snapped two fingers infront of her face. "You ok?" She asked concerned wich made her feel worse. Her wings needed movement but she couldn't. "Sorry you reminded me of someone" she explained. "It's alright. Can I do your hair?" She asked. "N no I've already done it" she lied quickly. "Oh alright" she smiled. "Why's your hood up?" A small boy surprised her. She winced As her ankle was injured badly and she stumbled to escape. "Personal reasons" she responded. "Oh...ok" he smiled. Maria felt her wings on her back still. "Your eyes are pretty cool" dolores smiled. "Gracias, no one liked them before" she mumbled the last part. Dolor3s just looked to her sympathetically then walked off to the table where dinner was behng served. "Sit down then!" Camilo exclaimed. "Sit next to me!" Antonio exclaimed with glee as casita forced her down onto the chair. "Casita" alma snapped. The houses tiles dropped slightly. Maria just put her hair behind her ear, her hood covered her horns. She looked at everyone and noticed isabella seemed...stressed? She wore nearly all purple and smelled of flowers. She shrugged ut off then alma caught her attention jusf in time."you'll be sleeping jn the same room as mirabel is that alright?" Alma asked. "Its amazing señora" she smiled alma nodded and sat down. Maria noticed her old plate om the shelf, it was cracked and had been glued together. "The plate up there, what happened to jt? The others are in perfect condition" she asked. "Well" alma sighed. "We hated Maria for a while and smashed her plate, everyone jn the family has kne. We tried to throw the remains away but casita stopped us, lated we missed her and tried ti find her. We couldn't and we tried to fix the plate but now we don't hse it as it isn't ours it's hers if she ever comes back" luisa explained. "You all have gifts if you don't mind me asking what was hers?" Thw family went silent as they all tried to remember. Maria decided to risk a little. "There was a door, it was faded but it had a girl on it. Long hair she ahd angel wings but devil horns. Was that her?"they nodded. "Sorry I should've have asked"  "it's fine dear" alma responded. Maria nodded and everyone started eating after alma sat down. Maria copied and pretened to be shocked as her injury healed when her gaze caught sight of a man. Shw froze watching him, he used to bully her. She snapped from it and continued her meal. She was trying to act civil but she was Starving. Her last meal was..six days ago. "Hungry?" Pepa asked as Maria had eaten her entire plate. "Hm, gracias" she said slightly embarassed. "I have leftovers if you want any" julieta offered. Camilo looked offened, "no thank you this was more than enough m- señora" she responded. "Oh, los siento we haven't introduced ourselves have we?" Isabella asked. "I did" camilo smiled. "Then we don't need to introduce you" dolores smirked. "I'm antonio!"The small boy exclaimed. "That's dolores, camilo, mirabel, isa, lulu, mami,papi,tia,tio, and abuela!" Thw adults chuckled. "I'm isabella and that's luisa" isabella explained. "I'm julieta, that's pepa, agustín, felix and alma" her mother explained. "Gracias" she nodded, everyone went to their own conversations. Maria noticed mirabel wasn't talking with anyone. "Hey-" camilo was cut off by. "How was your day mirabel?" She asked making the girl look slightly shocked as she looked up. "Good" she replied. "Tell me what happened then?" Maria suggested. "Well I babysat the kids. I told them about the familia by song and dance" she explained. "That's cool" she smiled. "What did you do today?" Mirabel asked."Well I learned knew names" she joked when she caught dolores staring at something om her back. She pulled her ruana as she caught a glimpse of her wing. Dolores's eyes lifted to her they were wide with shock. "I'm gonna show Maria around abuela" dolores smiled. "Gracias nieta" dolores took Maria upstairs and to her room."WHAT THE HELL IS UNDER YOUR RUANA!?" Dolores yelled. Maria took a step back and raised her hands. Her eyes glowed blue. "Maria....prima?" Her voice went quiet as she realised. Maria covered her mouth as she went to yell. "You don't remember this" she whispered, her eyes going bright as they shon. Dolores's eyes shon the same colour then she looked confused. Maria was stood there looking concerned. "You ok? You went silent as you were showing me around?" Dolores nodded and showed her around. "I need to be careful" she thought. Maria saw the moon come out. She went to the nursery and saw mirabel sat on the bed in her nightgown. Her glasses on the desk as she fumbled for them. Maria took them and placed them in her hands. "Gracias...." she put them on "gracias Maria." She smiled and got up. She got a calender out and Maria peeked at it. "Nearly the boys birthday huh?" She asked. "Si, I made him something"she took a small jaguar toy out of a box, jt ws beutifuly decorated. "Can I make something fir him?"She asked. "Sure!" Mirabel smiled. "I'll have it done by tommorow" she smiled aswell. The two went to bed. She sat on the spare bed and decided on making a parrot to go with mirabels jaguar. She formed one out of a peice of paper then turned it into a toy aswell. It was a toucan by accident. She shruggrf it off. It was a bird. "Hiw am I gonna hide these?"she took her ruana off and relaxed her wings. She pulled the blanket around her incase anyone entered and layed down relaxing on the soft mattress, she fell asleep easily.
