Maria watched as the rain dropped onto her window slowly. Like the ticking of the second hand. She watched it and she listened. She strained to hear the voices of her ancestors talking on heaven. They often had good advice for serious matters like Isaac and her was in now.

She listened as they fought dramatically. Right over wrong. Love versus revenge. And fate against time.

She started laughing lightly, when her great uncle Armand Santiago was yelling for the tribe to listen as he proclaimed that Great Grandmother Marie, his sister, was right. But her great aunt Christina Santiago, Armand's wife, battled against her husband. Stating that Great Grandmother Marie had no right lacing the curse unto Maria. She should have kept the curse on her father.

Maria smiled at that and stood up. She had to think of a way to get rid of the curse and she only knew of one way.

When she looked up she saw Isaac standing in her doorway dripping wet from the rain.

"I heard people talking in my head." He stated obviously uncomfortable about talking of such a rash thing.

"I know what you are thinking Maria." He said softly. "We have to go see your great grandmother. We have to rid this curse. I don't want to live without you." He added emotionally.

Maria could only stare at him in shock. She did not know that he could listen in on her thoughts nor her ancestor's conversations!

"Isaac, going to see my great grandmother can be dangerous." She said as she looked at him carefully. "She could hurt me. Or worse yet, she could hurt you."

Isaac shook his head furiously. "She is already hurting us." He stated. "I don't want to live without you, Maria." He repeated.

She tried to think of a way to try and stop him. But she could not. For she wanted to do the same. She needed to confront her great grandmother and demand that the curse would be taken off.

Maria shivered as an image flashed before her eyes. She even saw Isaac flinch too. She saw…their deaths.

Anger flashed through Maria as she sat between Isaac and the window of her uncle's automobile. Her nerves were raw and her thoughts jumbled together constantly.

She knew that what Isaac and was doing was completely not the way to go about releasing the curse.

They were practically going to break into her great grandmother's house and demand that the curse be lifted.

Her thoughts jumbled again, and she felt Isaac take her hand. He'd been staring out his own window. His thoughts like hers. But he knew this had to be right.

This had to be the way to insure his future with Maria at his side.
