The Book of life Amelia Posada

The jewel of the town

Many years later
Amelia's pov
We are returning home it was only suppose to be Maria because papa forgot I was here ever since I moved to Spain it's been good for Maria but bad for me.
I would get bullied for being so into books and been called the nerd but I know I learned how to fence, use martial arts, paint, and learnt to sing and play guitar and piano.
I feel like papa has now liked Maria more but I try to have courage I'm really excited to come home though.
As we get on the train chuy sits on Maria's lap and I laugh. "'Maria are you excited to return?" Maria turns to me she looks different when we were kids now her hair is very long and she has natural beauty inside and out.
"I'm very excited I'm happy to see papa aren't you?" I looked down " papa didn't even want me to come it's like he forgot me just because I'm not the person he wanted doesn't mean he should ignore me."
Maria took my hand.
"Papa would never forget you and you always have me." I smile and hug her as chuy puts his snout on my lap. "And of course I'll have you too chuy" we laugh and we see our home in the distance I put my hand on the window.
"Home" I whisper me and Maria grab our luggage and grabbed our fans to cover our faces.
Maria said in the letter papa sent her was we have to meet him at the stadium to see Manolo fight a bull I'm excited to see him again.
As we made our way to the stadium we heard people saying their jewels have returned. We made our way to our seats and Maria put her fan down but I did not and everyone in the stadium cheered for Maria!
"It's good to see you again Joaquin" I smiled and he looked entranced by Maria. I looked at the two and smile we see Manolo about to fight the bull he is really handsome he has grown over the years, I really hope he does the right thing...

Manolo's pov
I heard the posada girls are coming home I still remember Amelia making me the guitar it's hanging up and maybe I could play for them both.
"Manolo today you are to make the Sanchez family proud!" Papa comes in he always says those types of things he never lets me be myself.
He says a Sanchez does not play they fight.
"Si papa I will make the family proud" he looks at me with a stern face.
"And Manolo kill the bull this time." I look down I have never killed a bull because I believe it is wrong.
In the background I hear the crowds cheering I look at the light that leads me to the stadium. My father puts his hand on my shoulder "this is the moment we have been waiting for Manolo make me proud!"
I go to the ring and I see to beautiful women one is next to Joaquin that must have been Maria she has changed over the years.
Then there is the girl who has caught my eye I have not seen her face but I can see her green eyes. I stop looking at her and blush I clear my throat and say "I honor this fight to Maria and Amelia posada!" I see Maria and Amelia weren't really happy about that and I looked to the ground.
I hear the bull hitting the fence and fuming I grabbed my cape and fought with the bull.
I finally had it at its weakest moment as I took my blade out I saw in the reflection of the sword the beauty who caught my eye it was Amelia looking shocked.
I soon as I saw her face I threw the sword to the ground everyone was angry throwing trash at me but I yelled "it is not right to kill the bull!"
After I said that I heard Amelia "bravo bravo !!" She smiled and clapped for me. I looked at her until someone had hit me in the head and then I saw darkness....

Amelia's pov
After Manolo hadn't killed the bull I clapped and yelled "bravo bravo!!" My father wasn't very pleased.
"Amelia be quiet!!" I looked to papa he has never said that to me I looked shocked and he was furious.
"How dare you cheer for him he is a disgrace how will you ever find a suitable man if you cannot even be a suitable woman!" I looked at him I saw him look at me with guilt.
I was so upset I grabbed my fan and said "I'm sorry I want to be alone" I ran I heard Maria yell for me but I needed to be alone.
I remember going to this place where it had a beautiful tree it was the only place I felt at peace it was outside the town but I just needed air.
When I got there I looked at the sunset and looked at my reflection. I remember writing a song about my reflection singing and making songs keep me at peace and calm.

Manolo's pov
After the catastrophe my father said I was no Sanchez that I had disappointed our family I need air I went to the place where I felt at peace and heard a beautiful voice singing.
Look at me,
I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter.
Can it be,
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself,
I would break my family's heart.

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried.
When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside ?

When she finished it reminded me of when I wanted to be a musician but could never happen she truly understood what it felt like. When I saw her face I realized it was Amelia. "Amelia?"

Cliffhanger Dun Dun Dun!!!!
