Episode 12

For me, everything was chaos. All I knew was that I had to get my amulet back. All I could see was his face of power over me.

Alex: “Okay, so everything is said. Anny will go with me tomorrow, but we have a problem. I suppose Erick wants to discuss the agreement with me alone. There must be something we can do so he doesn't die of pain. Any ideas?” —Looking at her.

Hector: “Some amulet to help you.” —Thoughtful.

Lazaro: —Continues sitting, observing Anny. Realizing that she is not wearing her necklace— “That won't work. My amulets don't have the effect that Anny gives him. When I gave him the amulets, they only relieved him a little, but he still felt pain.”

Alex: “That’s right.” —He sighs stressed.

Hector: "Well... mmm... At least Anny could use her witch powers, shrink herself, Alex keeps her in his pocket. And that’s it!” —So serious with such a crazy idea that he said.

Anny: “Don't be stupid. Stop watching so much television, you're going to melt the only neuron you have left.” —Everyone is serious but Lazaro laughs at the two of them.

Alex: “This is no time for stupidity.” —Serious and thoughtful.

Lazaro: “Let me ask you something. When you are close to Anny, what is the first thing you notice?” —Intrigued.

Alex: —He looked at Anny, who is in front.—

“I don't know, I just feel relieved when she's around, and even more so when I smell her. It's delicious, sweet but not cloying.” —I can only look at her as I say those words and see her cheeks turn a little pink, feeling her a little nervous as she looks away.

Lazaro: “Interesting! We have to trick your senses into feeling like Anny is with you.”

Anny: “I’ll sell you my perfume.” —Taking it out.

Lazaro: “Even if you use your perfume, it won't be the same, because each person will smell things differently, due to the components of their body. So, if two people wear the same perfume, they will smell almost the same, but their essence changes. I have an idea, but I know that maybe neither of you will like it.” —While he moves his fingers on the table, making a slight sound when he moves them.

Anny: —Intrigued— “Tell me.”

Lazaro: “I need something that has Anny's essence, but I don't know how long that effect can last, with a few prayers, plus her perfume.”

Anny: “Don't tell me! What I am thinking, Mr. Lazaro, I thought you were a serious guy, but I was wrong. You haven’t gotten over one love spell and you already want to do another to him. Forget about it.”

Alex: "Can you two tell me what the hell are you talking about?" —Trying to find out what they are talking about.

Hector: “I got lost...”

Lazaro: “As much as you try to be together, you must separate to attend to your affairs. The only option I have is for you to take a garment of Anny's with you, with her perfume.”

Alex: “Can I take a handkerchief or something?” While Lazaro shakes his head no.

Lazaro: “I'm talking about something more intimate, like Anny's underwear.”

(We are all silent).

Anny: —I don't know what to think anymore. Every day this gets weirder. Just thinking about him with my teddy bear and rainbow underwear in his pocket fills me with nerves. I feel a burning in my face.

Alex: —In my life, I've never been so strange, but just seeing her rosy cheeks and the shame on her face makes her look adorable. I can imagine what she'll look like doing mine. God, what am I thinking?—

“I'll do it, I have nothing to lose.”

Lazaro: “Anny, I need your underwear.”

Anny: “What?” —Swallowing hard.

Lazaro: “The one you’re wearing now.”

Anny: “Is it necessary?” —Looking at him, while he takes out my necklace and pretends he's going to throw it away.

“Alright, I'll do it.” —While he just smiles slyly, cunningly. I walk out filled with rage, but at the same time I can't get his smile out of my mind, my emotions are already changing what I'm going to do, while he follows me, going up the stairs behind me.

I went into the bathroom to take off my panties, I got dressed, to look at myself in the mirror feeling overwhelmed with everything. I don't know what will happen if I don't get that necklace back, what will happen when I feel his touch or a kiss, my first kiss. God help me to endure these eight days. I take a breath, take my underwear, while he waits for me outside.

I hand it to him instantly. He opens it, smiles as he sees the teddy bears and rainbows.

Alex: “How old is she? Five?” —With amusement, he looks handsome with those perfect teeth.

Anny: “If you're going to make fun of me, I'm not in the mood. Then give it back to me, besides, you think we only wear sexy clothes, well we don't, we wear comfortable clothes, idiot.” —While he continues to make fun of me, I try to take it from him, but that brings us so close that I feel his breath, while he just looks at my lips, my heart is racing.

But he reacted, to push him out to where the others were, while I listened to his footsteps behind me.

We arrived where Lazaro is. While he hands them to him and I cross my arms without looking at him, Lazaro begins to do his job. He uses my perfume, gives them back to him. He puts them in his jacket, to do the tests to know how long it takes, while he talks to Hector about work. I take this opportunity to speak with Lazaro without him hearing me.

Lazaro: “Girl, I know you're hiding something, I can sense it. You cannot swim against the current, your connection is beyond your choice, you are destined, no one plays with destiny.” —Serious, but calmly.

Anny: “No, if I can change it. The same thing that happened to my mother will not happen to me, I will not be condemned to repeat history, that is why as soon as I can free him and recover my amulet, I will leave.”

Lazaro: “Tell me, what happened to your mother?” —Intrigued.

Anny: “I'll tell you later, I'll just say that I'm cursed, and if I continue in his life, we'll both suffer and he'll die. It’s what I can do for him. That's why you must do something for me.” —I take a small notebook out of my bag and start writing down instructions: “This plant is very difficult and only you should look for it, here are the characteristics of that plant and where you can find it, to free him I would like to do it sooner, but I can't, it wouldn't be effective.” While he reads the paper.

Lazaro: “The rest is to break all the ties you have with him. Just tell me girl what this is all about and I will help you.” —Taking me by my cheeks.

Anny: “I'll tell you, but promise me that you won't tell anyone...” —Looking at him who is in the garden. And Lazaro and I get to the living room...
