Hello, everyone. Your girl's back to update another chapter for you all. Last chapter was hard on the three lead characters, this one will be more harder on Imelda. For those of you who watch 'Corpse Bride', you know things will be bad for her. I don't own the canon characters while my ocs belong to me.
"Es verdad, Mamá! Héctor is married to a dead woman!" Imelda said while she walk back and forth in front of her mother, brothers, and maid Lirio.
Right after Héctor and the skeleton bride disappeared into nothingness, Imelda immediately called her maid and mother. Her little brothers had woken up after hearing Imelda sounding so hysterical. Neither of the twins had ever heard her sounded so spooked, like she had just seen a ghost. In fact, Imelda look a bit pale when the boys enter her room. Their mother, Isabella, didn't want them to stay up late, but decided to let them do since it might calm Imelda down.
However, Isabella wasn't in the mood to hear such stories coming from her daughter, who's ready jumpy from seeing an actual skeleton being in her room. Óscar and Felipe were scared as Imelda began to describe the skeleton and the latter took Héctor with her to who knows where right in front of her eyes.
"And she was standing right there with Héctor," Imelda said pointing to the spot of where the skeleton was standing, which was where her mother was.
"Héctor was in your room?!" Isabella said, both angrily and shock to hear that the Rivera boy was in her daughter's room in the middle of the night, alone with Imelda.
"We have to help to him," Imelda said as she walk to her mother, shaking like a leaf.
While Isabella didn't believe in her daughter's story, and Lirio was more concern for Imelda's mental heath, Óscar and Felipe actually believe in their sister's words since Imelda would never make something like up. She's way too mature to do that.
Lirio gently walk towards Imelda and took her ands into hers while stroke them and lead to the girl near the fireplace to warm her up since she felt cold.
"Please set in your chair, Señorita Imelda, while I go get you a warm blanket. You're shaking like leaf," Lirio said calming towards the eldest daughter of the house.
But Isabella had enough of Imelda's tales. She walk between her daughter and Lirio, and harshly slapped Lirio's hands away from her daughter's, "Get her a straitjacket, she has gone mad!" Isabella said, walking pass her daughter.
Imelda couldn't believe what her own mother had just said. She knew that her story wasn't going to be taken believable by everyone, but she hoped that her own family would let least believe her. She felt her heart was starting to break on what her mother had said that, and right in front of her own children.
"But, Mamá..." Imelda state but was silence by Isabella's cold stare.
"Óscar, Felipe, vamos. You too, Lirio," Isabella order with a cold tone in her voice.
All three obey Isabella's order and left Imelda alone in her room, with Isabella locking her the door. Imelda backwards upon hearing her door lock by her mother. She felt she had hit by her own shoe, and by her very own mother no less. She heard thunder and didn't even to turn to see lighting, it began to rain.
But the young woman refuse to let this stop her from saving Héctor. Imelda turn around to her balcony door and open it. She knew there's one person in this town that will help her save Héctor. Despite rain was coming down hard, Imelda wasn't going to let that stop her. She had always scare off men that try to marry her, and this won't be any different.
Upon stepping outside, Imelda look down from her balcony and saw the ground below. It's one floor off to where she's standing. Imelda soon got an idea. She'll have to use the blanket she was making for her brothers to go down from here. She felt terrible for doing this to her brothers, but Héctor's life is possibility on the line. There's no other choice since her parents would never let her out this late.
Quickly grabbing the blanket, Imelda slowly sled down. But the blanket wasn't long enough to reach the ground. Even worst, her father also happen to be standing near the window she's near while he's looking at his watch. If he sees her, her parents would surely send her to an asylum as a insane daughter that disgrace the family.
The blanket that Imelda had hanging onto had began to rip bit by bit. Scare that she'll surely get caught now. Héctor will surely be forever doom to be married to that skeleton that took away from her and his parents.
But by some miracle, both Óscar and Felipe had come and saw her. They manage to hold back their laughs since seeing their sister like this is a rare a opportunity. But they both knew this is a serious matter, and Héctor needed their help. The twins knew that Imelda would might try something like this to help her beloved ex-fiancée, so they went downstairs to the room where Imelda's room's above. Hoping that no one was in it. But to their dismay, their father, Martín, was in the room. Quickly, the twins caught his attention by coughing.
Martín look away from his watch and saw his sons had enter the room. They're suppose to be in bed right, not staying up all night to play.
"Mijos, what are you still doing up? You two should be in bed right now," Martín said sternly.
While Martín scolded his sons, he fail to notice his eldest daughter is outside and hanging on a blanket from her balcony. Imelda give her brothers a nod of thanks for helping her. She's at least glad that her brothers believe in her story.
The blanket rip while Martín kept scolding his young sons. Imelda fell on her feet. She wasn't hurt or anything, but she watch as her brothers were being escorting back into their room by their father.
With being this far now, Imelda then ran into the stormy rain. This is something her mother would surely have her head if she ever discover what Imelda did this. Isabella would no doubt be angry at her daughter for something unladylike again. But Imelda didn't care if she's being ladylike or not. Héctor's life is more important right now. She ran as first as she could while she made sure she was being careful as she could easily get hurt in this wealthy. The person that she's heading surely knows a way to undo this madness.
He has to.
Imelda is one strong woman! I hope I write her character well in this chapter good as well. I even hate what I did to her. Also, her parents suck. Any loving parents would be more concern of their child's mental heath, not their family's social status. But we all know where Imelda heading towards.
