What is the English translation for chapter 19 in la chica de los zapatos verdes?

Answer 1

Before paying the driver Laura looks around. This in a small dark street that ends in a strange park.

"What place is this?" asks Laura to the driver.

"It's graveyard" says the driver.

"The cemetery? Is there a bar around here called La Vela?"

"No, ma'am. I do not come here. Sorry".

Laura gets out of the taxi. She cannot understand why he has come to a neighborhood like this. The street is empty and she starts to shudder. That was stupid! I had to have stayed in the taxi ...

"Taxi! Wait," she cried very hard.

But it's too late. The car turned. And Laura is far from anything and takes a road on the right to return to the city center. The night is falling. Laura does not see anyone there.

Alone. Suddenly she hears a noise coming from the cemetery.

"Julio, is that you? " says the girl.

Goes a little over there and try to see who is coming.

"July!, I'm okay. I am scared though ..."

There is a brunette who is strong and smiles. Already very close to her.

"Hi, Laura, " she says. "Do not know who I am? Did you forget me so soon? I called you on the phone before but we were not home ..."

Suddenly, the mother takes the girl, putting her left hand on the neck and the other on the mouth. They are strong hands, and very cold.

"But you have heard my call on the answering machine ..."

Laura tries to scream but cannot. Besides no one comes here. The night comes and the street is silent.

"You remember, Laura ..." The woman does not let her move "Julio ... as a child. Always wanted to hurt him, that's horrible of you and Maribel. I locked him in that room, well kept. He closed the door but you called it. Always smiling at him because he was different. He is my child and no one is going to remove him. All you are is a dirty thief, but no matters. I will take care of you. As I did with Maribel, as I do with you now ..."

Julio's mother starts to grip the neck of Laura with her hands, with your left hand on everything. Increasingly squeezed and squeezed harder.

"I'm dead, " thinks the girl.
