Rita (2024)

[bunniefuu]

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

When I was seven years old, I

stopped believing in fairy tales.

I realized that the stories we are told

do not always end happily ever after.

The world is not like that.

I only started to

understand them again later.

Without fairy tales, I would

have had no hope at all.

I would not have been able to

face what was coming for me.

When I was 13, I ran

away from home...

but they caught me...

and the government took

me in, for my protection.

They brought me to a

fortress on a hill...

just like in a fairy tale...

..surrounded by forests.

Ruled by ogres and witches.

Inside they had locked up

many fantastical beings.

Powerful animals...

..princesses...

..rainbows...

..fairies and angels.

All of them alive with magic.

I saw that I had the chance

to become one of them.

I hoped that together we could

find our happy ending after all.

My story begins here.

Like all fairy tales, it did

not happen exactly like this.

But it is what I remember...

and the only way

I dare to tell it.

Her name is Rita,

shes 13 years old...

..transferred from the hospital.

Thanks.

Here, clean yourself

up. Use a little spit.

If you need anything,

Ill be close by.

Dont worry. Everything

is going be fine.

Rita.

Bring me the new

girls file, please.

Welcome.

Get up. Follow me.

Lets go.

Maam, maam...

Are you okay?

I saw something.

You saw nothing. Lets go.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on! Hurry up!

This is it.

New arrival!

Your uniform is on

your bed by the lamp.

Goodnight.

Come on, move, its late.

Its late.

Come on, its late.

Its late, hurry up...

Here are your clothes

and your soap.

Its not easy, being the

new girl in this room.

These are your wings.

If you want to stay in

this room, put them on.

Dont you have a

pack to protect you?

I need anyone to protect me.

Hey!

Whats going on, b*tches?

Move along!

Go on!

New girl!

Youve got twenty minutes

to bathe and eat breakfast.

Run.

Dont go.

Beb!

Beb!

This stinks!

Just eat the bread...

or youll get diarrhea.

Later on youll get used to it.

Do the bruises hurt?

Are you pregnant?

No.

Hazings are very dangerous

for pregnant girls.

I dont like it.

Dont you like your wings?

Dont you want to make friends?

I wont be here for long.

Boo!

Scaredy cat!

Im going to tell you

what its like here.

Come on!

Cut.

The Hanged Man.

Just like us.

The Devil.

For lust.

What we need is justice.

Were waiting for

a Warrior Angel.

The Stars will guide us.

Death! Change is coming!

Lets go, they will punish

us if were late to class.

Princess 34,

Fairy 42, Fairy 43,

Fairy 44, Fairy 45,

Angel 56...

Sulmy...

teach the new girl how to sew.

Matron, the boss is calling.

Move!

Terca, the Fire says blood oath.

- Blood oath!

- Blood oath!

Putting your wings

on is no joke.

All the girls here can tell you.

They all think

theres a prophecy,

and that a savior Angel

is going to come...

and get us out of here.

I dont believe

in that prophecy,

we dont need some myth

to get away from here.

Come on Beb.

I do believe in the prophecy.

I think you are that Angel.

Put your wings on.

Whos there?

Hello?

Dont put the wings on!

No!

Dont put the wings on!

My sisters want you!

You, Rita! You!

You, Rita! You!

Open the door. Please!

Only Angels sleep here.

Put the wings on.

Sacrifice!

Copy.

Sulmy.

Dont move.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

The Fire says...

cold water and hot water.

Cold water and hot water.

Five-colored corn.

Flower petals.

Jade rocks, and the

strength of lightining.

Yag root.

Amanita to talk to the gods.

Three virtues.

- What is going on?

- Hush

Fairy dust.

Gladys? Open your mouth.

If not, this feeling

wont go away.

Its Fairy potion

to make you forget.

Angels, wash her.

Dream, dream free

Dream, dream, dream free

Spread your wings, let

them stream to the sun

Let your dreams dance, dance

Fly, fly with me, I fly with you

Here. Obsidian and

honey to heal her heart.

Dream, dream free

Dream, dream, dream free

Spread your wings, let

them stream to the sun

Let your dreams dance, dance

Fly, fly with me, I fly with you

Lets fly, I fly with you

The monster is gone

Its out of your dreams,

Ive thrown it out

Dont be afraid anymore

Its not welcome here

I threw it to the other side

Dont be afraid anymore

Brave light warrior

Open your eyes.

Sulmy! Beb!

Come on!

The fire says: now.

Why did you make Beb do that?

Girls were hurt.

I didnt make Beb do

anything. No one does.

And why did you follow

us? Who invited you?

It was my mission.

Part of the plan.

Get it?

Dont tell her anything,

this is secret.

If we all start a

commotion together...

there arent enough

guards to catch us all.

Sixteen.

Sixteen. Sixteen.

What plan?

If you keep talking, Terca

is going to take your wings.

What plan?

Seventeen minutes!

Back up doesnt get here

for seventeen minutes.

Theyre coming.

Oh f*ck!

m*therf*ckers,

theyre dragging them.

Get in there!

Get them in there!

Get them in there!

Inside!

Inside!

Inside!

Get in there!

Get in there!

Move it! Move it!

Get up there!

Angels...

I know it was you that

started this uprorar.

What are you planning?

Dana, get Beb.

Come here, you!

Tell me what youre planning.

Talk!

I cant hear you,

I cant hear you,

Im a wooden block,

Ive got fish for ears.

I cant hear you,

I cant hear you,

Im a wooden block,

Ive got fish for ears.

Let her go.

Cant hear you, cant hear you,

Im a wooden block,

Ive got fish for ears.

Twenty-four hours.

You cant leave not

even to the bathroom.

You have no right to lock us up!

This is a shelter, not

a prison! m*therf*ckers!

Are you okay?

Im always okay.

Theyre gone!

Yes!

How long did it take?

Seventeen minutes!

Lets do something, Im

bored. It's been six hours.

Is your mom beautiful?

No.

And your dad?

Hes even uglier.

My little sister

yes, shes beautiful.

Im gonna pee.

All of you grab

your pots and piss.

Then were gonna slush the

piss out under the door,

then theyll learn

not to lock us up.

Okay!

You heard her! All

of you, all of you,

start pissing.

Get up! Come on!

Start pissing! Start pissing!

Get up!

All of you, all of

you, all of you.

I dont care! Make an effort!

Get down.

Hurry up.

Start pissing.

You too. Grab your pot.

Start pissing.

Hurry up.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Sulmy, Sulmy.

Theyre going to

punish us even more.

Angels!

The new girl is a scaredy cat.

So when youre done

pissing, give her your pots.

Shes gonna slush the

piss under the door.

You guys! Wheres

your warrior spirit?

No, dude, this piss

is revolutionary.

You guys! Get on with it! Come

on, lets piss. All of us!

Revolutionary pee!

Im sorry.

Make the new girl clean it up.

Call the other guards...

and make all the Angels clean

every hallway in the building.

And dont give them

any mops or sponges.

Make them use their sheets.

Take away their chamber pots.

Five six oh two! Backup, now.

f*ck you! It's not fair.

Rita, come with me!

Now.

Are you gonna let me leave?

Maam, are you

gonna let me leave?

Ask inside, there.

Im taking you to the

Social Workers office.

Ernestina, the new girl.

Are you gonna let me leave?

First I have to build your case.

Im going to record

the conversation.

Do you have any

problems with that?

I need you to speak up

because its recording.

I dont mind.

Why did you run away from home?

Because it was sh*t.

Why did you go to the hospital?

Because I was bleeding

out and Celia took me.

Was it your first ab*rtion?

No.

And did your father know?

He took me there

the first time...

after that, I went on my own.

Did you tell your mother

before you filed the complaint?

The girl nodded.

And what was your

mothers reaction?

She started crying and held me.

But the next day she acted

like nothing had happened.

She didnt even

confront my father.

She acted flirty towards

him, right in front of me.

And that made you angry...

..because she acted flirty

towards your father?

Is it any use,

telling you all this?

Ive already told like four

cops and look where they put me.

Im not a cop.

And why didnt you file

a complaint before now?

I dont know. Anyway,

it didnt do any good.

Im locked up and

hes still free.

And why did you file

the complaint now?

When I was seven,

my father would put me

on his lap and touch me.

I dared to report it after he started

to put my little sister on his lap.

And how old is

your little sister?

Six.

It says in the file here that you were

planning to kidnap your little sister.

Not kidnap,

I just wanted to take her with me

so my parents couldnt find her.

Thats kidnapping.

I already have a job.

I can take care of her.

Help me get out. Were

not gonna be alone.

Celia, my boss, is

gonna take care of us.

I live in her house.

Shes like a mom.

And it was this Celias idea

to kidnap your little sister?

No, she just wants to help.

When your father started putting

your little sister on his lap...

..did it make you feel jealous?

The noise you just heard was

the witch, that slapped my face.

f*cking b*tch.

Sulmy?

What are you doing?

Going to the bathroom.

Come with me.

No. Dont go out. Hold it.

I cant hold it.

Hold it.

- Watch out, danger!

- Danger, watch out!

- Watch out, danger!

- Danger, watch out!

- Watch out, danger!

- Danger, watch out!

- Watch out, danger!

- Danger, watch out!

- Watch out, danger!

- Danger, watch out!

Sacrifice!

Look down.

Look down, Rita.

Its for you.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.

Death.

Sacrifice, sacrifice.

Sacrifice, sacrifice.

I heard noises. Are you okay?

Is there anyone else here?

If youre wandering around

the bathrooms at night,

its because youre

looking for me.

Youre gonna take your

clothes off nice and slow,

or Ill slit your throat.

Officer.

Officer, officer.

Officer, officer.

Officer, officer.

Its forbidden for you

to enter the institution!

Go back to the darkness

where you came from!

Get out!

Sulmy...

I saw some weird girls

that look like ghosts.

The ones wearing black veils?

Yeah.

Those are the Stars.

Theyre dead.

Beb, dont say

things like that.

Well, theyre not all dead.

Theyre dying, one by one.

Beb, please.

They really scare me.

I dont know which are

ghosts and which are girls.

Rita?

Did William try to r*pe you?

I dont know, but he wanted

me to take my clothes off.

Yeah, he was gonna r*pe you.

Or maybe he was just

gonna masturbate.

Thats r*pe, too.

In fact, what he did to

you was actually r*pe.

Sulmy was once

Williams girlfriend.

Shut up.

Gross!

I was naive.

Theres a lot of

m*therf*ckers here.

m*therf*ckers. m*therf*ckers.

The Stars saved me.

Theyre dead. I

told you already.

We have to help each other out.

Did they give you the knife?

Show me.

They didnt want to let

me in, but here I am.

Thanks for coming.

What happened to you?

I was baptized.

Didnt they punish

whoever hit you?

I cant even tell you who hit me.

I think they all got a punch in.

Everyone here is really strong,

considering we dont

eat anything good.

Some girls even do magic.

Dont cry. Im all right.

It doesnt hurt anymore.

I brought you something to eat.

Im talking to a lawyers association,

and theyre gonna help us.

Theyre gonna take your case

and get you out of here.

But please dont

get into trouble.

If you behave, itll be

easier to get you out.

Thats not easy.

Here you dont have

to look for trouble.

Trouble finds you.

What do you need?

I can handle it until I get out of

here. Help my little sister, please.

Have you had news of her?

No. But I need to get her

out of my parents house.

Im sure sooner or later

shes gonna do what I did.

Shes gonna file a complaint

against my father...

and theyre gonna send her here.

And this place is hell.

I dont know what to say. But I

swear Im gonna make it right.

Im gonna ask the association,

see what they tell me.

But please...

dont worry, Ill take

care of all of this.

I love you so much.

Thats why Im here.

I always pray to God for

you to get out of here.

Look at you.

Its so good you have a visitor.

Youve got fifteen minutes left.

Thank you.

Rita, youll come with

me after this, please.

Good morning, Rita

You already know Jos and Dana,

and this is Wanda.

She helps us profile each girl so

we can speed up your court hearings.

Hi Rita.

How do you feel?

Uncomfortable.

Were going to have fun.

Were is the social worker?

She asked us to take

photos for your case file.

Can you please stand

in front of the light?

Stand in three quarters please.

One, two, three.

Im gonna tell you something...

if you want the judges to

trust you and let you out,

we have to make them believe

youre strong and confident.

You look pretty when you smile.

Show me your self-confidence,

the camera will catch it.

Put your finger here

like this, look.

Look, man,

I dont think this

is gonna work.

You can see the

bruises on her body.

We wont be able to move her.

If you look bruised

in your file photos,

the judge is gonna

think youre violent,

and we dont want that.

Were gonna wait a few days

and do them over. Okay?

Here comes the top model!

Rita.

You see how the hazing

worked out for you?

I just thought you

didnt want me here.

Later on youre going to

have to do the photos.

No one gets away from that,

but the later the better.

If we do the plan right,

you wont have to.

Whats the plan?

Okay. Ill tell you.

Were all gonna escape from here

and go to the central park...

and accuse these

m*therf*ckers publicly.

Were gonna tell the media

everything, and itll be photographed.

If you tell anyone,

well haze you again...

but you wont get

back up from that one.

We have a surprise for you.

Youre brave.

Youve earned real angel wings.

How did you end up here?

My mom.

She left me at the first shelter

because she couldnt afford to keep me.

It was just until she got herself a

job, but she never even came to visit.

So if we dont escape, I wont get

out of here until Im an adult.

Im still here because I dont

want to leave Sulmy alone.

Nobody likes her.

Yeah,

if the English royalty came to

get you, youd be gone already.

But I do love you.

How about you?

I ran away from home and

headed for a bigger town.

I found work there at a diner.

The lady that owns it is the best.

Her name is Celia. She

didnt just give me a job,

she gave me a home and fed me.

She paid you with

room and board?

You were a sl*ve.

No, she paid me a salary, too.

I got myself a tattoo

with my first pay.

Its a butterlfy.

- Its an angel.

- Yeah its an angel.

The trouble was when

Celia noticed I was sick.

She took me to the

hospital and they cured me,

but then they didnt

let me leave with her.

I could only leave

with my parents.

I refused to call them,

so they sent me here.

What, were you sick?

I was bleeding a lot.

Now that youre a full-fledged

angel, lets celebrate.

Ive never smoked.

Give it to me.

No way, you get real crazy.

Gimme!

Gimme!

Gimme!

Im going to get

them out of here.

Im going through with our plan.

Im doing it for you, my love.

Who is she?

All our plans dead.

Those m*therf*ckers.

Shes the Star that

began the whole thing.

Her name was Majo.

She was Tercas wife.

What happened to her?

She hanged herself.

On Christmas Eve.

With the lights from

a christmas tree.

When the families came,

they found her hanging in the

middle of the visitors area.

Is that why the Stars

are dressed in mourning?

Not just for her.

A lot of them have died.

The first one, nobody

suspected anything.

When the second one died,

all the Stars began protesting in

front of the Matrons office...

and they put on

their black veils.

We only found out what was

going on when Majo died.

After that, all of them dressed

themselves in Christmas lights..

And what happened to the others?

The three were pregnant, and the

guards made them get ab*rtion.

But they took them

to a horrible place.

The first one vanished,

and the second one

got an infection.

The two bled out.

Majo hung herself because

she didnt want an ab*rtion.

She said she was already

in love with her baby...

and didnt wanna

live without him.

She and Terca were gonna

raise the baby together.

I love you.

Maam, can I go to the bathroom?

Make it quick.

Rita.

Come on.

Come on.

Who are you?

Im Ana, the sh**ting Star.

The witch is following you...

because she wants to know

where the Stars camp is.

Where is the camp?

Im taking you there.

Come on.

Those are just the bodies.

These are the souls.

Make an offering.

This is our constellation.

This is the Sanctuary

of the Martyred Stars.

Is Majo one of them?

Yes.

Move.

Stars!

Im Luca,

Im fourteen years old.

Im Rita.

Yeah.

We know that.

You like wearing the wings?

They make you feel like

youre part of a pack?

A pack of Angels?

Dont you guys feel

like a group of Stars?

You dress alike

and you move alike.

These outfits were forced

to classify...

..and sell us to clients.

Some of the girls here believe the

story about how theyre mystical beings.

Those are the craziest.

We need you for the plan.

But Terca doesnt want you to.

We have to get the catalogue that

the guards have on their computers.

You have to steal

it from William.

And if things get ugly...

you have the knife to

defend yourself with.

Things are going to get ugly.

m*therf*ckers must die!

m*therf*ckers must die!

m*therf*ckers must die!

For our sisters!

Youre the only

one who can do it.

Because youre the new girl.

You have to sacrifice yourself.

Sacrifice!

Sacrifice! Sacrifice!

Sacrifice!

Sacrifice! Sacrifice!

Im also afraid the

escape wont go well.

Why didnt you tell me I

was the bait in the plan?

Youre not the bait in the plan.

The Stars want me to steal

the catalogue from William

and if things go

wrong, to k*ll him.

You have to do quickly,

so you dont get caught.

Its not true, I dont

want to k*ll anybody.

If you can get the catalogue from

William, it would be so cool.

They say I can do it

because Im the new girl.

Yeah.

William likes to be

first with the new girls.

Then he leaves you alone.

Terca isnt going to let

any of us be put in danger.

Were going to expose them

even without the catalogue.

But if you can get the

catalogue, it would be better.

Rita, look, your

bruises are gone.

Youre a wonderful Angel.

I was an Angel, too.

Sir.

Shes too shy.

Get out.

Let them work alone,

by themselves.

But Im in charge of

checking the photos.

Ill send them by Whatsapp.

Oh, baby, so sorry.

You should have told me from the

beginning these guys made you nervous.

Wanda!

Sir!

You got it?

You know what, Ive got an idea.

Were going to make

a little video.

Tell me something like youre a bad

girl asking her daddy to punish her.

Go on.

It doesnt matter if you cry

a little while youre talking.

Say it.

Say it, for everyones sake.

Im a girl thats been bad.

How was it?

Talk to Luca, Im

getting the catalogue.

Are you sure?

They have it on their phones.

The m*therf*ckers send it

to each other by Whatsapp.

I dont need to go in

the guards office.

I can do this.

She can do it.

I have a bad feeling. Its best

if you dont get into this.

Its all going to work out,

you just have to call the media

so they come to the central park.

Call them. Insist, call every hour.

All the families are gonna call.

Someone has to show up.

Here are the contacts

in the media.

Some girls have already

sent messages from here,

but we need lots of petitioners.

And why dont we tell them to come

here where its less dangerous.

Here the guards wouldnt let us talk

to them and it has to make an impact.

Do you understand?

At the central park, on

International Womens Day,

they have to know

whats going on here.

And what if the press

doesn't show up at the park?

Or what if the guards

find out and catch you?

You dont know who

they really are.

The most important thing for

me is getting out of here.

Listen to me,

Im not going to the

park to accuse anyone.

All I care about is getting out

and finding my little sister.

Then well come find you.

Theres no getting out of here on my

own, but all of us together can do it.

Theyll know what to say

so they believe us...

and a lot of girls

will be saved.

I just have to save one.

Die, m*therf*cker.

Die.

This is really tough.

That can be the m*therf*cker.

Come on.

If you can get on top

of the m*therf*cker,

its easier to k*ll him.

Imagine grabbing

him by his arms.

Die, m*therf*cker. Die.

Die, m*therf*cker.

Die, m*therf*cker.

Im scared of those m*therf*ckers,

too, but Majo is with you.

Shy little wallflowers

are the best.

Did you like my pictures?

I love them. You

pose really well.

Show me, I want to see them.

Show them to me first.

Thats how I like you.

What are you doing here?

Go back to your room.

Were going to the bathroom.

Hurry up.

Show me the pictures.

Do the others pose

better than I do?

Youre the prettiest.

But the others are more

daring and not shy at all.

I wanna see.

Do you have the whole catalogue?

What catalogue?

Thats all they talk about.

Theyre in a contest to see whos

the sexiest in the catalogue.

Well, the partys over.

No. Let me see me the phone.

Show me which pose is your

favorite, so I can do it for you.

Come here.

Take your top off.

No, no. Leave the wings on.

Its just so I can get my top

off. Then Ill put them back on.

Okay...

f*ck!

Do you like that?

Do you like that?

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Rita! Thank you!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

The m*therf*cker

is going to hell.

I dont know the password but I

know the catalogue is in there.

He opened it from

the photo gallery.

Ill find someone to crack it.

Today is our day.

Dont stop until

you get to the park.

Sulmy, ask the Fairies

what the Fire says.

Rosita, what is the Fire saying?

The Fire says: go for it.

Go for it!

Go for it!

Go! Go! Go!

Out! Out! Out!

Go!

Terca!

Run!

Come on! Run!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Lets go. Fast.

Move!

Get them, up there!

Move!

Come on! Run! Hurry!

Sulmy!

Sulmy!

I am hurt!

Lets go Beb.

Lets go.

I cant get up!

Help her.

Help me Beb. Come on Beb.

Sulmy!

I cant!

Come on, Sulmy!

I cant!

Come on! Come on Sulmy!

Forward! Forward! Come on!

Run! Run!

- Come on.

- Come on.

Run! Run!

The police! The police!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Terca, come with us.

I cant! Not until the end.

Come on, run!

No!

I cant anymore, I cant.

No! Come on!

I can't.

I cant run anymore.

You go on!

Come with me!

You can do it!

I cant run anymore.

Yes you can!

I dont wanna leave you!

Or you!

Run!

Run!

Wait!

Wait!

m*therf*cker.

Get on, get on, inside.

- Inside quickly! Hurry up!

- Hide there, honey.

We are looking for some criminals

that escaped from a shelter.

Have you seen them?

No sir.

Search the bus!

- Have you seen a girl with wings?

- No.

You? You sure?

You havent seen

a girl with wings?

Let me go!

Inside!

Hurry up, everyone.

You cant even run away.

Get inside. Heres

your prize: a suite.

Get up!

Get up!

You thought you k*lled me.

Inside!

Hurry up!

Let me go, as*h*le!

Let me go m*therf*cker!

Everyone get inside!

Assholes!

Get everyone inside.

I knew you were behind this.

Lets call for orders.

What are the orders?

We have to wait. Itll

come from the top.

Maam! Were thirsty!

Give them water.

No!

If I open this door, theyll

get out. Let them sweat it out.

Im gonna try to call the boss.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Hold it.

- Hey...

- What?

How long has it been?

I dont know. Like 15 hours.

Theyre not gonna let us out.

Its all gonna be fine.

- Were burning up! Let us out!

- Open up!

- Were hungry! Were dying of heat!

- Its so hot! Open the door!

You girls hot?

Take off your pretty

little threads.

Those assholes get fed and

weve been here almost two days.

Not even water!

- So then what, William?

- Take it easy, man... a couple of She-Wolves...

Gimme one.

Wait.

Hand me your lighter.

These m*therf*ckers

arent gonna let us out.

Lets set fire to one

of these mattresses,

and when they see the smoke out

there, theyll have to open the door.

- Grow!, Grow!, Grow!

- Grow!, Grow!, Grow!

Grow! Grow! Grow!

Grow! Grow! Grow!

- Open up! Let us out!

- Open the door!

Let us out! Let us

out! Let us out!

Call the firemen please.

Theres fire inside the room.

Boss.

What do we do?

Dont let them out.

Okay.

Theyre just kids.

Let us out! Let us

out! Let us out!

Dont be stupid!

Put that fire out!

Youre gonna suffocate!

Fire, fire fire!

Fire, fire fire!

Open up! Open up!

You asked for it!

Fire, fire fire!

Shut up!

Were not opening this door!

Were not opening this door!

Put that sh*t out!

What do we do?

The m*therf*ckers arent

gonna open the door.

Put out the fire.

Pass me your sweater.

Use clothes that dont have tear

gas. That sh*t is flammable.

But we all have it.

Get away from the fire.

You guys! We have to come

up with another plan.

- Gladys, your wings!

- Gladys!, Gladys!, Gladys!

No!

Boss. I need instructions.

Please. We cant keep waiting.

The girls are burning.

How do you know?

Because it smells.

Burn the evidence.

What do we do?

You heard what they said!

The evidence has to burn!

William, theyre going

to blame us for this.

Blame us for what?

The firefighters are here, and

theyre not letting them in.

I'm gonna open the door.

Let me go!

Theyre criminals, not kids!

We were locked inside that

room in the institution.

Almost all of us

burned to death.

All we wanted was to get

away from the injustice...

..the abuse and the

awful treatment.

Gladys was the first,

her wings caught fire.

Terca died cursing the guards.

Beb vanished with

her arms around Sulmy.

Others died at the hospital.

My body was identified by Celia.

Thankfully, the skin around

my ankle didnt burn...

..and she recognized my tattoo.

She is still my fairy godmother.

Since that day, she lights magic

candles for me and brings me flowers.

My father was finally tried and sentenced

for sexually abusing his daughters...

..five months after my death.

My little sister is

finally safe from him.

The demons in the institution...

..blame each other, to avoid

being held responsible.

Many people said we deserved to

die because we were deliquents,

..creatures without a future.

Others said it was our

fault for trying to escape.

For using fire as our ally.

Those who walk in the light, our families,

human rights defenders, and journalists,

..are trying to reveal

what really happened,

..but they are still

receiving death threats.

We never thought the darkness in

our executioners could run so deep.

The government opened a case against

us for vandalizing state property.

The story doesnt end here.

Like I said at the beginning,

this didnt happen quite

like this, but it did happen,

its still happening,

and its even worse.

We girls are still standing at the doors

of the institution, waiting for justice.

And we wont go until we get it.

In honor of all the

fantastic beings...

that inhabit an adult world

that turns its back on them.
