days went by

she didnt speak vero would go in and do her best to harass her and make her talk but maricela didn't move .. she laid there lost in a trance

vero: i know your hungry you have to be?

maricela laid back and turned over it angered vero she wanted a response she wanted a reaction!

vero: you know you owe me a thank you if anything being a mother is hard! i saved you the time and disappointment!

maricela bit her tongue and ignored her

ver: you'll talk eventually

she left her room .. once maricela heard the third lock she lifted the side of the mattress and grabbed a toothbrush she had found in the bathroom .. she had been sharpening the end

she turned on her phone and sent a text

maricela- i know its been months but I'm alive I'm escaping tonight i hope you can forgive me Pedro?

pedro- i was never mad at you mari turn on the other phone let him get a signal we can help

maricela- its on .. I'm going to deal with this ill tell you when to come

pedro- be safe please

maricela- always

she hid the phones and made sure the brush was somewhere out of site .. she sat down she could hear her parents laughing enjoying there lunch .. it angered her

adan- you .. you found her? is she ok?

pedro- she said she was escaping doing it on her own .. the signal is saying sinaloa shes literally days away by car .. we're leaving after this call we're going to the ton and then waiting on her call

adan- when you see her hug her and tell her i love her i never stopped loving her

pedro- ill send a homie to tell you so you can call you should be the one to tell her .. i got her though dont worry

adan- thank you

they left .. pedro expected to find her torn down and weak .. but he wouldn't

dinner time came around she sat back and waited

vero: i knew you where hngry now eat dinner

maricela: was it a boy or girl

she said seriously .. vero turned to her

vero: does it matter?

maricela: it does to me

vero: a boy there you happy?

she nodded and got up and went to grab her plate .. she threw the food and then turned and hit vero with the plate .. she attacked her

chuey ran into the room

chuey: get off of her!! or ill kill you!!

maricela: hahaha you dont have the balls!

she backed up and grabbed the brush and attacked vero again

vero: stop her!! chuey!!

maricela laughed an evil laugh .. a different kind of laugh

maricela: haha no one can stop me you tried and tried to destroy me but look what happened haha

vero tried to get away but maricela pulled her back by her hair and stabbed her over and over again .. until she stopped screaming

chuey stood there frozen

maricela: what? did you think i would kill myself? haha

chuey: you .. you

maricela: you helped her conceive me you helped her bring me into this cruel world .. you could've stopped her all these years.. she tortured me for 18 years!! my whole life! you saw what she did and you didn't stop her!! you helped her create this monster I've become .. your next

she threw the lamp at him to distract him .. he took off running but he tripped .. something in her gave her the strength to run after him as he tried to get him she stabbed him

chuey: stop!! please!!

maricela: feel my pain feel!!

she stabbed him until he stopped screaming ..

she backed off as everything went quiet .. she laughed

maricela: haha I'm free

she didn't move the body or clean them up she showered and ate and cleaned herself up as .. she slept on the couch that night for the first night in months she slept peacefully ..

Pedro: i get that but why the gas?

javier: gotta get rid of the body somehow .. look shes been threw hell and torture for over 6 months when she could've turned on that phone that easy she wanted there blood on her hands

Pedro: fuck

she wasn't the same maricela he had last seen her eyes where sunk in from the sleepless nights she was skinny from not eating you could see the scars on her body ... but she smiled as they got off

Pedro: mark .. I'm sorry

he walked up to her and hugged her tight
