-Third Person POV-

'Hernando' was already on his way to the picture frame again. Y/N looked under the table. "Hmph, guess it was just my imagination." She stood up and shrugged. She took the knife and headed back to the kitchen.

'Hernando' was up the stairs and let out a breath. "That was close..." The short man said and opened the picture frame. He headed inside the picture frame and closed the picture. "I should be more careful.." he said to him self quietly as he went to head back to his room sliding off his hood.

Y/N on the other hand was helping Julieta for Antonio's big night. Mirabel had just gotten him out of the room and they were talking to Pepa and the rest of their family.

~ time skip to Antonio gifting ceremony ~

The young boy was frozen at the bottom of the stair case. Everyone watched him in anticipation. Including Y/N , since this was her first time at a gifting ceremony. 'Hernando' watched from the small crack in the wall. He smiled slightly at his nephew. Mirabel finally came out and helped him walk up the stairs. Y/N and Julieta held their breath as Antonio touched his door knob.

The door turned a magical golden color and the engraving of Antonio and his animals shown. A toucan flew down and landed on the boy. After a few squeaks from the bird Antonio nodded. "Ugh huh ugh huh I under stand you!" Antonio says and smiles. "We have a new gift!" Abuela says out loud. The crowd cheers as animals come racing into the casita. A leopard picked up Antonio and carried him off into his room.

Y/N followed the crowd and smiled at the sight of a huge room in the inside. Lush green bushes and trees were everywhere. Animals all over and a river. Julieta and the rest of the family and crowd were at the top to celebrate. Y/N thought about joining but decided against it for a moment. She headed out and looked up at the sky as she walked down the stair case.

"Beautiful night.." the woman said to one in particular.

Squeak. Squeak squeak!

"No! I'm not going out there." 'Hernando' said annoyed. "Samuel I told her I wasn't going, there's no way-" 'Hernando' was cut off by casita creaking the door of the picture frame open. 'Hernando' got a better view of the woman down on the stair case. His heart skipped a beat.

Samuel looks at the man. He taps his little foot and waits. "No no I-I can't. I said I wasn't going. What if someone sees me anyways?" 'Hernando' closes the picture door. "It's a no, I'm not going out there." 'Hernando' walks off.

Back to the woman on the stair case. She looked around. This would be the time 'Hernando' came out. She wondered why he wouldn't show to this ceremony. Surely he couldn't of been too busy.

'Hernando' rushed to his room. He couldn't do this. He was over whelming him self. Having a friend that lived in town, that knew his family. She was bound to find out. Just bound to find out who he was. He'd be doomed. Outcasted by his family and his new friend.

"No I won't let my past ruin my present. I am Hernando and I am scared of nothing." The man said walking out to the picture frame determined putting his hood up. "I am Hernando and I am scared o-." He opened the picture frame. The woman gone from where she was. Samuel squeaked at him in a know it all way. "Yeah yeah I know.. I missed my chance this time." 'Hernando' sighs and slides off his hood to shake his head. "Maybe it's for the best." He walks back inside. "I mean.." he chuckles nervously "it's not like she's gonna assume I disappeared... or didn't show up cause she was going." 'Hernando' said pacing back in forth in his room.

-'Hernando' POV-

"This is the worst night.." 'Hernando' said as he sat down in his arm chair. "I wish I wasn't a 'curse' to this town.. maybe then I wouldn't be so scared or ashamed to tell her who I was. I could actually hang out with her. But nope I'm Bruno." I say slouching in my chair feeling sorry for my self again. "Just a curse.." I say sadly.

Samuel squeaks at me. I let out a chuckle and smile at my little rodent friend. "Thanks Samuel.. I guess I'm not all that bad.." I pet his head and pick him up gently. He squeaks and crawls down my arm and up to my shoulder. He crawled up into my hair and got to the top. I laugh quietly and sit back down in the chair. "Oh Samuel...what ever will I do?" I say looking over at the small crack in the wall.
