Finding Roxanne's Mother + Roxanne's Story

(Roxanne's POV)

I smirked as Pepita threw Ernesto at the bell and I watched it fall on him. I hit the bell, making it ding and shake. "A-a-a-a-a-ahh" Ernesto said as he also shook under the bell and I laughed. "Sorry. Didn't see you under the bell" I said and jumped on Zarya, my spirit guide. She's a flying wolf.

Zarya flew to the others and I jumped over, hearing them cheer . I bowed with a smile. "He's not going to bother you guys for a while" I said. "Thank you" Imelda said. I laughed as Zarya and Pepita nuzzled in a friendly way.

I then frowned and Julio noticed. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I realized that I never told you the connection between Ernesto and me" i started. Miguel looked at me and I sighed. "Ernesto is.....my father" I said and the family gasped.

"Long before he murdered Héctor, father murdered my mother. Saying how she was stupid and deserves to die" I said, starting to cry. Imelda hugged me and the rest of the family joined the hug.

"I remember the fight. Seeing my mother's face for the last time. Father didn't love me or my mother. He didn't deserve to be a father. He abused me. He yelled at me and said I'm the reason my mother died. But I knew.... I knew he killed her. He would not admit it. He was never arrested. The police thought it was suicide" I sobbed.

"I ran away from home. I survived on my own. Then I was murdered by someone" I said. The family was shocked about what I dealt with when I was living. "¡Ese bastardo!" Imelda spat. "Imelda!" Héctor said and she saw Miguel. "Oh" she said.

"Is she here?" I asked. "What's her name?" Rosita asked. "Emily De La Cruz" I said, wincing at the last name. 'Mom should have never married Ernesto' I thought bitterly. "I believe so" Imelda said and the family got on Pepita as I got on Zarya. We flew to the arrival center.

The two spirit animals landed and we all went inside the building. "Excuse me? Is a Emily De La Cruz here?" Rosita asked. "Why yes" the clerk said and gave us the information of where she is. We all followed the instructions and arrived at a house.

Julio knocked on the door and it opened. "Yes?" A woman asked. "Mom!" I said with a smile, hugging her. "Roxanne! Oh, thank goodness. I thought you'd never be here!" My mother said, hugging me. The Rivera family smiled at the reunion.

"Father is not going to bother us anymore" I said. My mother hugged me again and smiled. "Hi" Imelda said and my mom smiles. "Hi. You must be the Rivera family. Thank you for helping my daughter and attacking that jerk of a husband" my mom said. "No problem" Rosita said.

Miguel looked at me as I smiled at my mom. "Roxy told us how Ernesto treated you two" he said. I blushed when he called me that. "Yes" my mom sighed, looking at me. "I wished I was there to help Roxanne. I never knew Ernesto would treat her the way he did" she frowned.

"How did you know that I related to Papá Héctor before I knew?" "Easy. Even though I was dead long before your great great grandfather died, I was there. I saw everything. I saw how father poisoned Héctor and how father stole the guitar and songs. But I couldn't do anything, since I was dead and can't touch the living" I sighed.

"I knew father wasn't who he made everyone think he was. I knew who he was. I wish I could warn people. I tried to warn you and your dog did too. But you were too stubborn to listen. And nearly got yourself killed" I snarled and Miguel flinched, looking down. Dante growled at me but Rosita calmed him down.

"I knew you were related to Héctor because of the signs. You both were stubborn, you both were in love with music. And I could tell you guys were bonding." I finished. "Father also loved music, but he wasn't a good song writer so he stole" I add.

I smiled as I heard something. "Hey Bj" I said. "Hello Roxanne. How are you, mini?" Bonejangles asked me. "I'm good" I smiled. "Who's these people?" He asked. "They are the Rivera family" I said and they introduced themselves, as well as Bonejangles. "Mini?" Miguel raised an eyebrow. "That's what he calls me" I giggle.

"Emily? What's wrong, doll face?" Bj asked my mom. "I miss Victor" mom said. "Oh right, he married Victoria" he sighed. I laughed as I heard barking and I saw Scraps. "Hey boy" I said, petting him. "Cool" Miguel said. "He was Victor's dog. But now, Scraps is here" I said as Scarps barked.

Zarya roared and I looked up, frowning. "Already?" I asked as my spirit guide nodded. I got on and waved as Zarya flew away.
