Chapter 10

Mirabel paced around the room nervously. Why did Esteban talk to her like that? Where was Marcos, and where even was she? Then the door opened again, this time it was Lorenzo.

"Lorenzo, por favor. Let me leave. This is really freaking me out." she pleaded.

She tried to run out the door, but Lorenzo stopped her pushed onto the bed.

"You're not leaving, just yet mija." he said in a sinister voice.

Mirabel's skin crawled as he touched her cheek, then went down to her shoulder. When it got close to her chest, she grabbed it. They struggled a bit, but then Lorenzo squeezed Mirabel's arm really tight, so tight it hurt.

"You really are a little firecracker." he replied.

He then placed a kiss on her cheek. Then he left the room. Mirabel felt really scared, what were these guys going to do to her?

The police went to the Herrera mansion, and knocked at the door. But no one answered.

"Maybe no one is home." thought one of the officers.

From out his window, Marcos saw the officers. He banged on the window, trying to get their attention. But they couldn't hear him. In one last attempt, Marcos took one of his trophies, and threw it at the window.

It broke the glass, and landed right in front of the officers. This surprised them, and they looked up.

"Hola, up here!" Marcos called to them.

"Are you Marcos Herrera?" the other officer called up.

"Si, but my door's locked so I can't get out."

"Don't worry, we're coming in."

The police broke down the door, and freed Marcos.

"Marcos, we're looking for Mirabel Madrigal. She's missing."

"I know."

"Marcos, can you tell us what's going on and what's happened?"

Marcos then to explain everything. When he turned 16, his brothers told him it was time for him to live up to their legacy. When they were in high school, Lorenzo and Esteban had dated several girls, and after gaining their full trust they would rape them.

And to make sure they stayed quiet about the whole thing, they drugged them to make them forget the whole thing, and then break up with them and pay them off to make sure they stayed quiet.

"They wanted me to do it too, but...I couldn't."

"You really like Mirabel don't you, Marcos?" Marcos nodded his head.

"Do you have any idea where your brothers might've taken her?"

"We have a few other houses, but they could be at any of them. Oww."

He rubbed the back of his head. One of the officers, felt the back of his head.

"You've got a bump here. We're gonna get you to the hospital so a doctor can take a look at that."

As the officers called an ambulance, they informed the other officers about the other locations.

Lorenzo and Esteban were finally ready.

"You ready to see if we still got it, hermano?" asked Lorenzo.

"You bet. I hope she's ready." replied Esteban.

They opened the door, and saw Mirabel sitting on the bed, with her arms wrapped around her legs. When she looked up and saw them, she jumped back a little.

"Hola, Mirabel." greeted Lorenzo.

"What are you guys doing?" she wanted to know.

"We're going to have a little fun." Esteban answered.

That didn't sound good to Mirabel. They lunged towards her, Lorenzo pinned her down, while Esteban took off his shirt. He got on top of Mirabel, and began kissing her neck.

"Stop, stop!" Mirabel protested.

She tried to struggle, but Lorenzo was too strong. Esteban even started to grope her. Just before he could go any lower, Mirabel kneed him hard in the crotch. Esteban cried out in pain, he got off of her, and fell to the ground.

With her legs free, she threw up her leg and kicked Lorenzo right in the face. He immediately let go of her, and groaned. With all her strength, she fled out of the room, and down the hall.

"Marcos! Anybody! Hola!?"

But no one answered. So she kept running, looking for a way out. When Lorenzo and Esteban's pain subsided, they went after her.

"Mirabel." called Lorenzo.

"She's gotta be around here somewhere." said Esteban.

Mirabel quickly hid in a room, and tried to stay as quiet as possible. As she was in the room, her eyes caught something that was on a table. It was two books with the names Lorenzo and Esteban on them.

Curious she went over and looked inside. In Lorezno's book were names of different girls, beside each of them was a set of dates.

"Que?" she asked herself.

Then she opened Esteban's book, and it was the same as Lorenzo's, names of girls, and sets of dates. Then she spotted another book, it was labeled, Marcos. And when she opened it, she saw her name in it.

She gasped, but a little too loudly. Lorenzo and Esteban heard her, and stormed into the room. Mirabel shrieked in terror.

"Found you." sneered Lorenzo.

"Por favor, just why?" Mirabel pleaded.

"You see, Mirabel," Esteban started.

"Back in high school there were times when we really bored, so to entertain ourselves we met a girl, charm them with our money and personalities, and then we'd have some fun with them."

"Then...Marcos..."

"He was supposed to continue our tradition, but he grew soft. So we'll just have to finish you ourselves."

The two lunged at her, Mirabel tried to run but to no avail. Lorenzo got on top of her, and Esteban hit her head with a lamp, leaving her disoriented.

"Now, where were we?" he sneered.

Mirabel couldn't run, and she couldn't fight back. This was the end of her. Just as Lorenzo had gotten himself unzipped, the sounds of sirens were heard.

"Que?" asked Lorenzo. "Who called the policia?" added Esteban.

They left Mirabel on the floor, and ran away. Mirabel struggled to get up and escape, but the blow to her head still affected her. As she wobbled out of the room, she fell into someone.

She looked up, at first she thought it was Lorenzo or Esteban but it was someone in a uniform.

"Mirabel Madrigal?" it asked.

Mirabel nodded, and then she passed out.
