Hi Max,
It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I hope you’re safe wherever you are and don’t forget me. We miss you so much! And remember the good times before you left us, okey? Thank you<3
In that same house lived a family. A single mother, young brother, and an older sister. The three live in that same old house, everyone loved it. It was cheap, nicer and really quiet for their liking, that’s why they've lived in that same house for exactly almost 4 years.
Their mother is a calm and kind mother, really sweet to other people, secretly she can’t tolerate people who annoy her or her kids. And people like to talk to her because she knows how to listen and give advice right after, and they are wise as she looks. Linda Castillos would do anything for her kids to be happy.
In the room, There was heavy breathing, and shuffling heard. Shaky breaths, then it stopped, there was a thick silence. A few seconds later a loud gasp; a girl quickly sat up. Her forehead filled with sweat, trying her best to catch her breathing. She had woken up from a dream, or the feeling of deja vu.
She turned to her left, where there stood a small clock, a quiet ‘tic-toc’ sound coming from it, on top of a small cabinet. Otherwise called, side-tables. The clock read, ‘7:56’ She sighs going back to lay down, and slowly falls asleep. ‘8:03’, a door creaked and small thuds on the floor, and clicking from someone's heels. The bed that the girl was sleeping peacefully in, was now sinked with someone else's weight on it, sitting next to her. “Elísea, hun, wake up” they shove the girl's shoulder, slowly.
The girl groans, going back to sleep. This only made the woman shake her more violently. Knowing she knows that's what she hates that the most. It only took a few seconds to shake her before she had fully woken up before she had satiated, trying to glare at the woman who had just shaken her; not just to wake her up, but to annoy her as well. “Si, mother?”
“We have visitors, para que te pongas lista!” She yells in annoyance. As she got up from her bed, the weight of the bed returned to it’s normal weight. As Elísea slouching form decided to finally get up, after her mother had left.
‘We have visitors? Who could they be?’ She asked herself. As she went inside the bathroom that’s inside of her room, taking a shower. After 15 minutes, she got out of the bathroom and went inside of her walk-in closet and got her favorite dress, a bright creamy green granny dress that ended at her knees. It was simple, but that’s why she chose it. With puffy arms on the sleeveless of her dress. She wore a balck shiny tap shoes, and wore white colored gloves that reached to her elbows. And did her hair into a braid. Wearing a bit of blush on her cheeks, as a small smile spread across her face, looking herself at the mirror where she stood, before leaving her bedroom.
It was two other boys, her eyes widened, “C-carlos, S-Sebastian?!” In shock, her eyes widen.
“Long time no see, huh?” the taller guy, Carlos said, with a smug face. Both boys hug Elísea. Elísea hugs both back, Sebastian was a huge gap taller than her. And Sebastian was catching up to Carlos. Carlos and Sebastian were only 2 years apart from each other. Carlos is 19 and Sebastian is 17. While Sebastian is only a year older than Elísea. “Bye,” both said in unison, before they had left to go somewhere else around the house.
Elisea enters the grand dining room, and greets her other older cousins. Both greet each other, “you’ve grown a lot since last time we seen each other,” Luna Bell complimented. “We all thought you were going to stay small,’’ Luna adds. She was the oldest out of everyone, 26 years older than her second elder sister, Camila. Camila was only 3 years younger than Luna. Almost turning 23.
She walks inside the kitchen, where there stood a fancy stove. Everything in there was white, except for some kitchen tools. And there was a mess, chips on the counter, bowls with their breakfast served on them, and milk spread a little on the counters. A few cabinets open. There were a few bags on the counter. She glances at the second stove they had that was covered with a huge saucepans, and a skillet. There stood Elísea’s mother, where two more ladies, as well.
“Se pegó con la pelota,” said one of the ladies, while laughing. Elisea’s mother turned and she had a smile on her face. And then look over Elísea, where then the ladies turn around, once they saw who it was, both had a grin on their faces.
“Hola tias,” Elísea greets them, with a small force smile on her face. She waves at them, the one talking earlier was her aunt Ernestirna, and the other lady was her aunt Valentina. They all hugged, “cuanto as crecido,” her aunt Ernestirna adds. Elísea nods, smiling.
They all let go of each other's embrace, and helped her mother with the kitchen, bringing the food outside at the dining table, Elísea stayed behind to grab a water bottle from the fridge and drink out of it. Not minding how cold it is, she looks out the window that’s at the end in the kitchen. The sun's out, it is bright and birds are chirping in a sing-song melody. That will make people want to whistle with them, too. And stared at what looked like a maze of bushes, and stared in awe at her favorite tree. As she saw ravens fly away, and a few on the branches as there were also colorful birds, talking among another. They all looked happy being with each other. And free. Elísea smiles, and with that she left to the dining room.
