“Where am I? What happened to me?” Estrella slowly opens her eyes, she looks around and sees Naomi sitting next to her.

Naomi with tears in her eyes smiles; “Estrella, you’re awake…”

“Naomi, you’re alive…” Estrella cries as she immediately stands up and hugs Naomi; “Thank God, I thought you died...I saw you bleeding...I’m so glad that you are alive…I thought I was alone again”

“Don’t be silly...I am here because I am your friend...you are not alone anymore…”

“Don’t move, or you’ll open your wounds. “ Mariana says as she holds Estrella tightly.

“Naomi, who is she?” Naomi’s father asks Naomi. Naomi looks at her father; “She is my friend Estrella…”

“I see…”

“Father, I have a request…” Naomi stands up and looks at her father’s eyes; “I want Estrella to come live with me…”

“Naomi, don’t be absurd...we don’t have room for another girl...plus…” Naomi’s mother says feeling angry, however, she is stopped by her husband.

“Naomi, why do you want to bring her home...you know nothing of her, she is a stranger…”

“You’re wrong...she knows me more than you two do...and I know her…” Naomi replies feeling confident, Estrella and Mariana look at Naomi acting brave.

“Watch your tone, I am your father…”

“You may be, but...you have never taken interest in me, you and mother have always thought that I was crazy for seeing those ghosts, and last night, you saw that they were real...I just wanted someone to hear me...and Estrella, Estrella was always there for me…”

Her parents see each other, Naomi’s father sighs; “Listen Naomi, I know that your mother and I haven’t been around lately, and to be honest we thought that you only had a rebel side by saying all these ghost stories...the truth is, we still care for you...and we would do anything to make you happy…”

Naomi’s mother walks forward; “So if you want to have that girl with you...then we won’t say no....”

“Really?”

“Yes, dear...we want our daughter to be happy…” Her parents smile at her. Suddenly, two hands touch their heads; “I’m afraid that won’t be possible…”

“Memoria Perdida” (Lost Memory)

Uriel erases Naomi’s parents memories and makes them fall asleep. Naomi looks nervous; “Why did you do that?”

“Uriel, why did you erase their memories?” Mariana asks concerned. Uriel enters the room and replies; “Because, I can’t permit you to take her away from here…” Uriel looks at Estrella and asks:

“How are you feeling?”

Estrella remembers the time they were inside the Giant Sombra; “I’m alright...you told me that I would never be alone again, and yet you don’t want me going with my friend?”

“I’m afraid so...Estrella, your power is dangerous, if you don’t control it, you will end up hurting your friend and her family…”

Estrella opens her eyes wider; “So, I can’t be around anyone?”

“I never said that…” Uriel walks towards her and puts his hand on her head; “I’m telling you to live here with us...you will be part of the Ministry and you will never be alone again…”

Estrella looks in shock and feels calm in her heart. Naomi looks down, Mariana comments; “Don’t worry, you can come here anytime to visit her…”

“Really?”

“Of course…”

Uriel looks at Naomi; “Naomi, I’m afraid I will need to erase your memories as well…”

“Why?”

“You knowing about this girl’s power puts you and your family in danger, it’s better if you just forget about it…”

Estrella lowers her head feeling sad. Uriel puts his hand on Naomi’s head; “Don’t worry, I will only erase the bad parts, you will still remember Estrella as your friend…”

“Really? Then, I can still come to visit her…”

“Yes you can…”

Naomi looks at Estrella and says; “Don’t forget that I am your friend…” Estrella with tears in her eyes smiles for the first time; “Good bye, my friend…”

Uriel proceeds in erasing her memories, Naomi falls unconscious. Uriel looks at Mariana and makes a little smile; “You were very brave last night...I’m glad that you are maturing along with your sisters…”

Mariana looks down; “But it wasn’t enough, I wasn’t able to protect anyone…”

Estrella looks at Uriel; “Uriel...will I be able to live a normal life someday?”

“Yes you will…” Sister Carolina steps into the room, she looks at Estrella and smiles; “Estrella was it? You will be able to live on with us...from now on, you will never be alone…” Sister Carolina hugs Estrella, Estrella cries out of happiness.

Uriel tells Mariana to go outside. Both of them leave the room.

Mariana walks with Uriel and asks; “Uriel, what motivates you to be strong?”

Uriel smiles a little; “I can’t tell you that, because I won’t meet your expectations...but...my friend told me this once; He said he wanted to be strong in order to protect those he cherish...I think that is something that you wanted to hear right?”

Mariana nods in agreement; “I want to be strong so I can protect my sisters and everyone in the Ministry, including you…”

Uriel pats her head saying; “That’s really mature of you.”

(PPOOFFF)

Mariana gets red and “smoke” comes out of her head. “AHEM, SINCE WHEN ARE YOU TWO CLOSE?” Fabiola asks, feeling angry. Abril runs towards Mariana asking; “How is Estrella, is she okay?”

“She is...in fact, she will be our new sister…”

“WWHHHAATTTT?” Abril and Fabiola speak at the same time.

Uriel sighs thinking; “Mariana, if only you knew that my reason for being stronger is to kill that man”

Fabiola looks at Daniel and runs to his side; “Daniel…”

“What is it?”

“I checked Naomi’s injury…”

“So…”

“I saw something weird...that injury that provoked Estrella wasn’t from a Sombra...it seemed more like a ray…”

“And what are you getting at?”

“Daniel, please don’t tell me that you purposely injured Naomi…”

“It had to be done in order to lure out the mastermind of all this…”

Fabiola is in shock, Daniel continues walking to his room; “Daniel, are you that heartless?”

“Think what you want...but...everything worked out, didn't it…”

Daniel walks to his room as he thinks; “Sometimes, one must dirty his hands in order to do something good…”

Everything calmed down, Tiwa returned to her home...After Father Clemente returned, he was given the news that Estrella was joining the Ministry...He happily accepted and adopted her, thus giving birth to...Estrella Rossi…”
