The Darkest Night
"Your brother and I are going to be scouting out a new place for our clan's circus." Carmina replied to Carmen.
Rafael came out of his bedroom with his guitar in its case in hand.
"I'm going outside to find Diablo, Mother." Rafael said.
"You go right ahead, Rafael." Carmina said.
Rafael turned to go, but he felt someone gripping onto his right pants leg really hard.
"Let go of me, Carm!" Rafael exclaimed.
"I want to go with you and Mother, Raf!" Carmen begged.
Vito Senior gently pried Carmen off of Rafael's leg.
"You will see your mother and big brother again, Carmen," Vito Senior said. "you'll see."
Rafael turned to his younger sister, "Tell you what, Carm, you may come with me to look for Diablo." he said.
"Really?" Carmen asked Rafael.
"Really." Rafael replied to Carmen.
After Diablo was called and bridled, Carmina and Rafael packed their small caravan.
Then, Rafael mounted Diablo because he was going to ride him for the very long journey.
That night, it was almost dark as Rafael let Diablo roam free and he and Carmina decided to set up camp at the end a cattle track two valleys over from the Regnery family's property.
