It was already past 7 in the morning when the expedition was ready, the destination was the mansion of the Countess but they had to leave the defensive perimeter and enter enemy territory, for this, they used armored cars of the navy that they had recovered from the streets; Romaia and Nathan, his brothers, and the others, heavily armed with a .50 caliber mounted in their Car, which had already been modified as a war car, Mad Max style, and carrying long guns led the convoy, where Adelina; Érika; Pamela; Belinda; Ana Lee; Soledad, Hermelindo, and of course, the most powerful and brave apocalyptic warrior in this story; The "Queco" were traveling in the Combi, shortly after 8 in the morning they were already parking in the large abandoned courtyards of the old abandoned and ruined mansion, which no longer had doors or windows.
-According to legend, the Count threw the bodies into the crocodile pit, then the bones of the child must be there between those of the sailors and the Countess.
Pamela says, that being the first search objective, but it was useless, because despite the help of the powerful smell of Queco, neither in the well, nor in the entire house in ruins, they found everything but human bones.
- It's useless! –says Soledad. -It has been centuries of abandonment, and I do not think we find human bones, less those of a child that any of the lizards must have swallowed in one bite.
-Then? Think of something Soledad. —says Romaia. —That I have run out of ideas, it is past 3 o'clock in the after noon, and I assure you that the legionaries already know that we are here, or they attack us here or attack the Román mansion, I do not know, talk to the leader of the matriarchy, to that Tzempasuchitl or I do not know what her name is, maybe she as a very powerful witch like you, Can help us find the child.
- Hell Romaita! You're a fucking genius; You are right! There is no one who knows more about looking for children than she does; I'm here right now! She is practically an expert on lost children, although she has never found her own, and her name is Tenpecutli.
Soledad says while with a piece of stone from the ruins, she drew a door on a wall to disappear into it, and a few minutes later she appeared with Tenpecutli by the hand, She was also very pretty and wore a white Victorian style dress that made her look as beautiful and elegant as the Countess, on her head carried a diadem of flowers and precious stones.
- So you are the bearer of the ancient soul that gave us the possible key to conjuring the curse of the Countess? —The elegant lady tells Romaia. - Nice to meet you and you will have to allow me the honor of giving you this little detail, which will look better on your smart little head!
She immediately put the headband on her head; Romaia received her between nervous and impressed, since the presence of Tenpecutli It was imposing.
- Well, my dear doomsday warriors! What you are looking for is not in this old mansion in ruins, because when everything happened, I rescued the corpse of the child from the well of the lizards and gave him a Christian burial, in a place where the Countess could never find him, not far from here. –says Tenpecutli.
-But; How is it possible that you were here that night 200 years ago, were you one of the slaves? —Adelina asks.
-Something much better than that my dear Lady, also at that time the slaves were not white as now, that fateful night was when Soledad was disappointed in me, because she was the one who made me a guardian of humanity and I failed her creating the Countess, let me tell you a more accurate version of the events that began the curse of the Malibrán.
Tenpecutli says preparing to tell a story.
