Chapter 2: Pájaros of a Feather
It was 7 at night at the Ortiz house, and Priscilla Ortiz was making nachos. "Oh nachos, the perfect dinner for your familia," she said. Her daughter Rosa ran into the kitchen, excited for her favorite food. "Mom, the nachos look bueno," she told her. "Gracias Rosa, I try my best as a stay at home mom," Priscilla replied. Dolores, Elaine and Priscilla's husband Raymundo were waiting for food. "Nachos incoming, melted cheese for Raymundo, extra meat for Dolores, and some with salsa for Elaine," she handed out the nachos to them and turned on the TV. Rosa ran into the room with her nachos on her head and sat down by Elaine. "You know what time it is familia? It's time for our favorite telenovela, Hermanas de la Valentía!!!!" Priscilla shouted. "Woo!!!!!" Raymundo and Rosa said. "What's so great about some TV show?" The small cat asked in a snarky manner. "I felt the same way before I saw it, but it's great, trust me," the teen girl replied. Once the show got started, the small black cat couldn't look away from the TV, she didn't even eat her nachos. The commercials soon started as Elaine was just speechless about what she just saw. "I can't believe television is so interesting," she said. "I'm glad you like it, you know Raymundo and I actually met because of the original version of this series, what you were watching was a reboot of that," the adult woman explained. "Wow," the cat replied. All of sudden, a small rumbling went throughout the house. "What the hache?!" Rosa shouted. "Is this house normally shaky?!" Dolores asked. "No!!!" Mr. Ortiz replied. "Let's go Elaine!!!" The witch said to her feline companion. "No thank you, I'm too comfortable," she replied. "Lazy son of a, c'mon Rosa," Rosa joined with the witch and climbed up to the roof to find a giant bluejay pecking at the house. "That's a big bird," the teen said. "Hmm, is it? Maribel!!!!" Dolores placed a red rug onto the roof and drew an lasso for a lasso spell. The witch used the spell to capture the bluejay as it shrunk down to a normal size, revealing it to be another lady with pale skin and pointed ears.
"Sister?" It said. "Maribel!!!!!" Dolores hugged the lady, tears streaming down her face. "Dolores!!!! I thought I would never see you again!!!" The lady cheered. "That's great Maribel, too bad you're still cursed," the witch replied. "That's why I'm in this dimension, I wanted to find you to help me find the Mystical Unicorn Fountain, I heard it's juice can cure any curse, but then that curse took effect and that got me where I am now," Maribel explained. "I'm sorry but, I have no idea what is going on," Rosa replied. "Oh Rosa, this is my little sister, Maribel Winglin, I have multiple sisters, but Maribel was the one who always had my back for my whole entire childhood, no matter what happened, Maribel and I always stuck together through thick and thin," Dolores explained. "Aw, you two are like Alicia and Teresa from Hermanas de la Valentia!!!!!!!" Rosa squealed. "What?" Maribel asked. "It's a television show about a group of sisters surviving the wilderness," the witch explained. "Oh, so are we going on a fun fantasy adventure or what?" The teen asked. "Sure, why not? I doubt Elaine is coming though," the witch remarked. "Let me check the time, it's already 8 o'clock!!!! We should be heading inside!!!!" The three headed inside at it got really late.
The next day, the three prepared for their adventure as unexpected visitors came to the house. "Who could that be?" Priscilla asked. She answered the door and saw two of Rosa's friends, Esteban and Lucinda. "Hola!!!!" They said. "Esteban, Lucinda, buenos dias!" Rosa said to them. "Whats up chica?" Her friend asked. "Oh, just going on a mágico adventure with my mentor and her sister to cure a bird curse," the teen explained. "Sounds interesante," Lucinda said. "Can we come with?" Esteban asked. "Can they Dolores?" The teen replied. "Sure kid," the witch told her. The five entered the portal and entered an island full of witches like Dolores and Maribel.
"Welcome kiddies and germs to Hex Isle, home to witches of all different shapes and sizes, it's a bit barbaric, but it's home," the witch showed the kids the insane isle full of witches. "So, where is that fountain?" Maribel asked. "Oh that fountain, I hear that it's…" the witch was about to say as her sister's puffy blue hair started to become feathers. "Maribel!!!" Everyone huddled around the witch as she started to transform back into her bluejay form. "We should hurry to that fountain of she transforms that fast," the others carried the bird as they headed towards an old Mayan looking temple. "Is this where the fountain is?" Esteban asked. "No, but centuries ago, they roamed the isle, they had the power to heal any witch curse, but one day, they mysteriously disappeared and left the fountain of their healing juice behind, and they were never seen again, but some folks still think that they're still around," the old witch explained. When they weren't looking, the bluejay that they left on the temple ground transformed back into Maribel without the group knowing it. "Phew, now I can finally get that unicorn for CastCore," the witch was revealed to he lying just to get to a unicorn.
With the others, they were continuing through the temple without knowing about Maribel's secret. The cane close to the fountain when they finally noticed Maribel was gone. "Where's Maribel?" Dolores asked. "She's gone!!!!" The kids shouted. "Aw man, if we don't find her soon, she'll run amok through the whole isle!!!!" The witch screamed, dashing through the temple without thinking and going into the Unicorn Garden. "Maribel!!!!" She screeched. "Dolores, I'm ok, I was just about to heal myself," the witch lied. "Oh good you're ok," the two hugged to rejoice until Maribel's wrist started glowing and projected a hologram. "Miss Winglin, have you finally found the long lost unicorn?" A male figure asked the blue haired witch. "Ugh!!! Of coarse you had to spoil the moment K'awil!!! I have not gotten the unicorn yet!!!!!" She yelled. "You mean to tell me that you, out of all my sisters, were the one working with those freaks at CastCore!!!!! I thought I could trust you!!!! I guess I was wrong then!!! Suddenly a sister I've trusted for over 30 years starts working with my mortal enemies!!!!!!!" Dolores vented. "Dolores, it's not my fault, when you were transported to the human dimension, I had nothing left, nowhere to live, no one to turn to, until I was recruited by CastCore for missions, I felt like I was part of their family, they promised that if I found that unicorn, I'd become a member of the Hex Isle Royal Court and live in Castle Hex with the high class witches, so I manipulated you because I knew you would listen to me, and look at you now, you replaced with a child and a cat!!!!" Her sister replied. "I know Elaine and Rosa are always with me, but that's because they are familia that I can trust," she left the temple with the kids, leaving Maribel, saddened by her sister and her failed mission. "You have changed Dolores, and not for the better."
