Answer:

In Chapter 14 of "Summer of the Mariposas," the girls are awakened by the sound of goats bleating outside their room. Curious, they investigate and encounter a kind but potentially sinister shepherd named Chencho.

In this chapter, the story takes a dark turn as the girls interact with Chencho, who offers to accompany them to Hacienda Dorada. While some of the girls are initially positive about him, Odilia has uncomfortable feelings around him, which foreshadows the danger he brings.

As they journey with Chencho, he tells frightening stories about a monster that he seems to know all too well. This monster turns out to be Chencho himself, as he transforms into a chupacabraand and attacks one of the girls, Pita.

The girls find themselves in a terrifying situation as they try to defend themselves and save Pita from the monster. In a brave act, they manage to injure the chupacabraand, leaving him blind and saving themselves from further harm.
