Salem is a city with a lot of history but very quiet, where families live with a normal daily life. That is where I live with my parents and there is a good relationship with the neighbors, which makes for peace and harmony.
Some time ago, they were selling the house across the street, which we regretted very much because it belonged to an elderly couple who had to move out of the country with their children. It didn't take long for them to sell it because it was a very old and architecturally beautiful house. I would have liked to buy it if I had had the money. We had a farewell meeting for them and they left. We were all close neighbors waiting to see what the new owners of the house would be like.
It wasn't long before a moving truck arrived at the end of October. The moment had arrived! Looking out my window I saw three women getting out of a vehicle. My dog Canela kept barking, which was strange because she is very friendly even with strangers, but when she takes such an aggressive attitude something must be wrong.
A few days later I went with my parents to meet the new neighbors and welcome them to our neighborhood. When I went to put the harness on Canela so that she could also enjoy the visit, she refused and stayed inside the house looking out the window. They were three sisters with a halo of mystery. In their gestures and in their look you could see that there was something else that was not right.
As the days went by, Canela did not stop observing that house where unusual noises were heard in the early hours of the morning. As time went by, many neighbors complained about the disappearance of their cats. Did the new neighbors have something to do with this? Was it a coincidence? But, why was everything so quiet before and now we are all in a state of anxiety?
One night I got up early in the morning to drink water and noticed that Canela was nowhere to be found. I looked under my bed and in all the rooms and couldn't find her. My mother told me that all the doors were locked and the alarm was on, that it was not possible that she had gone out. I said goodbye to her before going to sleep and left her in her little bed. Where was she? I was very worried... My dog Canela was very obedient and was always with me.
After several nights the same thing kept happening, until one day, desperate to know where Canela was going, I decided to pretend I was asleep to keep an eye on her. To my surprise, just at twelve o'clock at night, Canela transformed herself. I couldn't believe it, she had a kind of mask, a cape and flew out of the window. When I saw what was coming out of her eyes I almost fainted from the impression, it was a violet ray that was projected towards the house of the three sisters. The women shouted: We forgive Canela from Salem, we will never hurt anyone again!
I was shocked by everything I had seen and went back to bed to wait for Canela to return. Would she still be my loving dog? Or had she turned into some kind of Super Canela?
She flew back out the window and lay back down on her bed. When I got up the next day she wagged her tail when she saw me and was as loving as ever. When I left for work I noticed a sign on the house across the street that said FOR SALE. At that moment I knew that my little dog Canela was a defender of humanity.
