Hey Everyone, It's time to get back with Carla and the next couple of chapters are going to be a bumpy ride so I hoped you're prepared for this.

Enjoy!

Elena decided to check in on Carla she's been a little broken down ever since her Mom tried to break her out of prison.

"Carla are you okay" Elena asked her.

"I'm fine, princess." said Carla.

"I'm sorry I haven't helped you out lately." Elena apologized.

"It's okay Mateo told me everything." said Carla. "I'm sorry about what happened with Esteban, I know it's hard to cope about the person you loved so much turn against you."

Elena had this this weird feeling, she doesn't know why but she needed to talk to someone and Carla is the one person she could to about this knowing what she went through with her mother.

"Carla, I saw Esteban's past and what he went through." said Elena "He was feeling hurt and neglected, he felt like no one cared for him. That's what led him to help Shuriki to invade our kingdom and kill my parents. Elena felt guilt running over when she knows she shouldn't. "Maybe I should've been a better cousin. I was so focused on preparing to be a great ruler like my father, I never took the time to be there for Esteban when he needed it."

Carla felt sympathy for Elena. "I had no idea, that must've been hard for him" of course My father was the closest person Esteban would have for a brother.

"Now that I found out the truth of Esteban, I don't know what to do, I'm considering not exiling him but... I don't know if it the right thing to do after what he did all those years ago." Elena felt sad and confused.

Carla didn't know what to say in this situation, all she can do now is tell Elena what she knows.

"When my mother told me harshly that my father wasn't able to solve the map to Takaina, It hurt so bad that I made the choice to go recuse my papa until you caught me. When I saw my father again, I was ashamed to face him because I failed to save him, but he was proud of me because I came back for him and he told me that's all at mattered he didn't care if I went against my mother's wishes, he just was happy that we're together again, during that time we spent some father-daughter time together like we used to. He was just happy to see me and when you caught my Mom, I was happy a first that we're a family again but during the time in prison I could feel the tenseness between my father and mother and I knew something wasn't right, but I just ignored it because I thought they could work it out and be a happy family again. after we broke out with Esteban, I did not know where my mother was going to lead us until an avalanche came and knocked me and Esteban over, when I was hanging from a cliff, I was scared for my life, I thought this was the last time I would see my mother and father. and even though mom saved me, papa came straight for me and hugged me. when I was hugging him I felt safe, I never have been more happier to have papa in my arms, when my mother insisted we head straight for Takaina, he refused he gave up dark magic, the life of villainy and stood up to Ash to protect me. Before I know it, she turned my father into stone. At that moment, I finally saw with my own eyes the kind of person my mother is, she was truly and purely evil that she would do anything to get what she wants. Enraged and heart broken, I finally decided not to join her and stayed with my father in his stoney and lifeless form until you guys came and apprehended me.I chose to surrender myself to you because all I want now is to be with my papa, and try to make things right."

"I made those choices because I knew what was right in my heart." Carla put her hand on Elena's shoulder across from her cell. "However you decide to deal with Esteban, you do was what is right in your heart."

Elena was surprised to think she would get help from Carla. "I'd never thought I hear this from you, How do you know all this?"

"I guess when you have a family, you learn new things about them and yourself than you never knew." Carla answered.

Elena suddenly felt a heart of warmth, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but you sound a lot like my parents." Elena grinned.

Carla felt ashamed. "No, I'm just a girl behind bars."

"Well, from where I'm standing there's more to you than that." Elena smiled. "Gracias, Carla."

"You don't have to thank me, I don't deserve to give you advice." said Carla

"But you did." said Elena. "and you know what? it's the best advice I've ever gotten."

Elena and Carla smiled at each other, they realized that though they may be different they can relate to each other maybe there might be a chance that they would get along.

What do you think?
