I suddenly felt the urge to possess more people. She took over me. I was La Llorona. I looked at my brother and sister feeling more hungry than ever. "Finally, in 200 years, I am going to have my first feast and it is going to start with the girl"La Llorona(I) said. I charged at her when she suddenly kept her hand on my face and looked at me with a soft look in her eyes. She then took a bucket of swamp water and dumped it on my head and La Llorona came out of my soul. I was very confused and relieved to be back to my regular form again. It was not long until I realized we were in a graveyard with La Llorona, I remembered that her cure would not let her past her river and grave so I motioned my siblings and we kept running until we were out of breath. We sighed in relief until my brother started crying. He spotted something, the grave of our mother and fatter. It read "Andrea and Lewis rest in peace together." I suddenly had a flashback. I was 9 years old in the hospital crying my eyes out after receiving the news of my parent's death. My mom had died from stage 3 cancer and my dad died from a sudden heart attack, at the exact same time as my mother did. My, my sister and brother were not able to do anything for 2 months, we were too depressed. I remember making and oferenda and looking at their faces. Celebrating Dia de los Muertos(translation-Day of the Deas) and feeling so depressed. We were living with our aunt and uncle who our parents trusted dearly. All three of us fell to our knees and started crying. We were crying so much, we fell asleep after that as we were exhausted.
