Dolores pov

I help Andrea standing up and she hugs me one more time.

Y: Gracias hermana

Do: De nada 

I smile at her.

Do: Now lets go and have breakfast but then we're going to talk about what you said. Claro?

She looks at the ground.

Y: Claro

Do: Now go, i need a minute to sistemate my hair

She laughs and walks away. I sigh and turn around towards a dark angle of Casita.

Do: Mama, you can leave your hiding spot now

I look at the figure in the dark that i saw since she "went away".

Pe: How did you-how did you know i was there?

Do: You forget i have superhearing and i heard your footsteps plus, i saw your shadow

Mama looks at  the ground as she walks towards me.

Pe: Dolores...what Andrea said...does she *she clears her troath* does she think that we fear her?

A cloud appears over her head as she says the last phrase. I look at the ground. 

Do: Mama...

The cloud over mama starts to rain and it wets her a bit.

Pe: Dolores please, tell me truth

Do: Si mama, i hear her cry every night

I start to cry too.

Do: I hear her everyday saying how much she hates herself, her gitf, her body. She hates herself mami...i, i tried to help her, i am trying to help her but it's hard...it's hard because i love her, she's mi herman

Pe: Oh amor

She comes to me and hugs me tight.

She breaths before  saying her mantra.

Pe: Clear skies...clear skies

The cloud goes away.

Pe: Mi bebe...we have to talk with everyone about this. It shouldn't be like this...she...she shouldn't hate herself 

Do: Mama, she said that  Antonio is scared of her..i-i think i-i think that she's partly right

Pe: How could you say that your hermano is scared of her? He's not, he would never be...he loves her

Do: Mami...she started saying that he's afraid of her since he talked with Abuela. You know her room is soundproof (her room isn't actually soundproof i just made it for the plot, please don't kill me)  i coudln't  hear what she was talking about with Tonito

Mama looks at the ground thinking.

Pe: You think that maybe she could have said something to Antonio about Andrea that made him afraid of her?

Do: You know i don't like to blame but...Abuela always hated Andrea's gift and i wouldn't be surprised if she told the villagers to be afraid of her and that includes Antonio

Pe: He's a kid so he probably would have believed her since she's the one...controlling everything and everyone

Mama looks at the ground and sigs before looking at me again.

Pe: Listen, ahora we're going to breakfast an act like nothing happened then...then i'm going to speak with Andrea, i  need to let her know that she's perfect i...i need to talk with her and then, i'm going to talk with Antonio about this

Do: Mama, leave Antonio to me...you'll go talk with Andrea

She sighs.

Pe: Fine...

Do: Please be gentle with Andrea, she's...she won't tell you anything she's too scared to hurt you

Pe: That's why she never wants to touch any of us...dios i'm such a bad mother

Do: No you're not mama, nothing of this is your fault

Pe: Gracias mija, let's go now 

I nod.

 We take a big breath and then we go to breakfast. There we see Andrea looking at her food but not eating it. Mama and i look at eacother worried and then we sit at our usual places. Me, at Andra's left and mama at her right. Camilo looks at our hermana too but doesn't say anything and just looks at me worried. I shake my head telling him not to say anything and he nods, going back to eat his food. I look at Andrea thinking whether she should eat or not so i playfully hit her shoulder making her flich a bit and then look at me smiling.

I can't help but be sad. This is not her smile, it's just a smile she learned to put on whenewhere someone would talk with her or just be with her. 

Do: If you're not going to eat that i will strangle you

She looks between me and her food.

Yo: You're not going to leave me alone are you?

I shake my head and she sighs before putting a piece of arepa in her mouth.

Y: There, esta feliz?

Do: After you finish the whole plate i'm going to be happ, right now i'm just...half happy

She rolls her eyes before taking the fork and starting to eat her food. 

Mama shakes me a bit and looks at me confused. Right, she doens't know about Andrea's eating problem.

I look at her and with my hands i tell her "later", she nods looking at Andrea who is playing with her food. She doesn't say anything but abuela notices.

Ab: ANDREA! 

Andrea flinches at her tone but plays it off by answering her calmly. I think that pretty everyone noticed her flinching because they're all looking at themselves worried.

Yo: Si abuela?

Ab: Don't play with your food, you're not a child

Yo: Si abuela, lo siento

Abuela nods and goes back to eating while Andrea looks at her plate for a bit  before standing up.

Yo: I'm not feeling very good. Could i go to my bedroom?

Abuela looks at her up and down.

Ab: You have work to d-

Ju: Mama! Andrea you seem a little pale, you can go to your room i will bring you something later, claro?

Andrea nods before she basically speeds upstairs. Mama looks at me worried one more time and i signal to go with Andrea. She nods and stands up too surprising Abuela.

Ab: Where are you going Pepa?

Pe: To mi hija mama

Ab: You have work to do Pepa. Your daughter is fine she's just doing it for attention

Mama and Julieta both look at Abuela dead in the eyes.

Pe: She's not mama and don't ever, never insinuate something like that again

Abuela looks at her blindfolded while mama speeds upstairs too.

Pepa pov

I speed upstairs not caring about the glaring that my mother is giving me. Right now the only thing i care about is my daughter. I reach her room and a freezing cold immediately hits me. Her powers only react like this when she's not okay. 

I knock on her door but since i'm hearing no answer i enter her room and close the door behind me, ignoring the freezing temperature. I start to walk further into the room and i see Andrea on her bed crying. Oh, mi dulce bebe.
