Hey Everyone, I just saw "The Magic within" and "Dreamcatcher" and these two episodes broke my heart, for Carla and Esteban. I just had to write a story about them. Warning: Elena will be a savage in this chapter.
Elena remembered that she had to deal with Carla later after what happened at Carnaval and now was that time.
Elena walked down to the dungeon to meet Carla in her cell.
"Carla Delgado." She said in authoritive tone.
"Princess." Carla responded.
Carla stood up to face the princess, she was terrified to see her.
Elena looked at her with a stern face.
"I'm here to talk to you, the last time we spoke to begged me to free your father and promise to do anything I ask." "Well, here's your chance, before I even think of turning him back to normal, I need you to tell me what happened.
"Yes Princess." Carla replied.
Carla took deep breath as she explained what happened.
"We were all escaping on the path Esteban was leading us to, then an avalanche came and knocked me and Esteban off a cliff. "Esteban managed to climb up to safety, but I was hanging off a ledge." "Papa tired to save me, but I was slipping till I couldn't hold on any longer." "I was falling until mama saved me with her magic, then I ran to Papi and hugged him." Carla was shaking "I thought i was going to die." "She wanted for us to move forward to Takaina, but Papa refused." "He was trying to protect me, he gave up the dark magic, and at that moment...Tears were coming down Carla's face as she remembers the horrifying experience in front of her eyes. "Mama just turned him to stone." Carla sobbed. "She wanted me to join her but i refused." "Mama and Esteban just took off and I stayed with my Papa, what's left of him."
Elena felt sympathy for Carla as she heard the whole story, but she knows that there are some things that can't be forgiven.
"I'm sorry, what you had to go through I really do." Elena said. "But you know, I don't know if I should free your father, you've committed many crimes in Avalor and my familia and I dont take that lightly." Elena said in a serious tone "You stole my mother's tiara, you released Marimonda to destroy Avalor, you tried to steal an ancient artifact that could've destroyed the kingdom, you joined Shuriki to take over my kingdom again, and you along with your mother tried to kill me." "Why should I even free your father?"
Carla was saddened, shameful, and afriad.
"I know I don't deserve your mercy, I know I've done a lot of terrible things and I am sorry for everything Elena, I really am." Carla pleaded. "All I wanted is to have a happy family, but now all I want is my father."
"I'm going to think a lot hard on that, Delgado." Elena said in a unforgiving tone.
As Elena was leaving the dungeon Carla was desperately calling her from her cell.
"Please princess, please save my Papa! he's the only family I have! I have no one else!" Carla sobbed.
Elena heard Carla crying as she was walking away from the dungeon, it breaks her heart to hear this but at the same she held a grudge against anyone who would harm her familia and her kingdom, was Carla the exception now that her own mother has betrayed her and she's all alone? she doesn't know, Elena feels conflicted, she did want Carla to pay for her crimes but she couldn't just leave her in that cell with no hope for her. she knows how it feels to lose someone you love and she definitely knows how it feels to have your own familia to betray you as she thought about her cousin Esteban who betrayed the family and has no doubt in her mind about exiling him. But does Carla really deserve to suffer as much as Esteban does? She has a lot to think about.
