The butterflies' luminous bodies were so bright that anyone who tried to stare in her direction was blinded and had to shield their eyes. The crowd of students broke out into a frenzy and began murmuring with each other. Professor Bains and even Dimitri did not know how to comprehend the odd sight taking place before their eyes.

She kept on pushing forward. Gonza felt scared out of nowhere. As he watched Patricia swim further, he felt like something is about to happen until he noticed Patricia's way of struggling to keep her above the water. "Shit!" That's when Gonzalo realized she was drowning. Gonzalo didn't waste any more time as he jumped from the balcony of his room into the sand. He landed feet first and ran as fast as he could towards the sea. "The jet ski! Now!" Gonzalo shouted as he ran faster. He can see Patricia waving her hand before sinking back under the water.

She covers her face with her hands in despair. A monarch hovers in mid-air, gawking at her while she cries.

The butterfly’s wings flex once, etching twin skulls into the air—identical to the one on the windowsill last night—before the darkness swallows us both. I gasped, the rosary slipping into the mud. My cheek burned—Marisol’s wound, her blood, searing through time. Dragon and Uncle D’s voices drawing closer, but distant as ghosts. The garden tilted violently, my world collapsing into shadows. Marisol’s scream tore through me, raw and guttural, a mirror to the past—a sound that cracks the storm’s spine..... ******

My breath hitched as I looked up. The first butterfly appeared, its wings painted with blues and golds that shimmered like stained glass. It landed on the rim of my mixing bowl, tasting the air.
