The Alguazils came in the night on silent feet. Father opened the door fear clear on his face, for we knew what comes with a knock on your door in the middle of the night. The alguazils came in, their black hoods hiding from sight, and told father that he was going to Casa Santa. Father shouted that he was a faithful Catholic. They gag him with the Mute's bridle and said
"Since you refuse to come quietly we must assume that you are protecting other heretics in this family. Tomas, gag the others! they too will be going to Casa Santa The Aguazil in front snaps.

They dragged father and led us through the abandoned streets. None of us made a sound. We knew what they would do to us if we did. We knew there would be no kindness from them. For they would not risk excommunication to help a suspected heretic. We arrived at Casa Santa. Ysabel looks at me with fear and tears in her eyes. They led us through the stone hallway and have us stand outside the Inquisition Chamber and led Father in first. When they took him out they took mama in, then Ysabel. I was last.

'Your turn, heretic, to see Father Pedro. Confess and the Father may be able to save your immortal soul."A young alguazil tells me.
