We Don't Talk About The Lost Boy

Matteo

"Mami! I'm going down to see Mari! I'll be home at lunch time!" I said excitedly to her she nodded and smiled before letting me go. I made my way through town and up to the madrigal house household, I kept my side pouch close to me as I walked through the courtyard and knocked on the wall quietly. "Teo!" I heard Dolores greet me with a large smile, I nodded in a greeting fashion before she led me up to Maribells room.
      I signed my thanks to Dolores before she nodded and walked off, I knocked on the nursery door before walking in as I heard a "come in teo" form Mari. As I walked inside I could feel her sadness, it was always that way with me, I could feel and change peoples emotions I of course kept that fact to myself. I sat next to her and nudged her side, causing a smile to form on her face. "You aren't the only madrigal without a gift" i said gently. "What do you mean I'm not the only madrigal without a gift, everyone but me has a gift Teo!" She got up half way through her sentence. I shook my head and stood up, before leading her down to the sitting area where a picture of her abulea and abuleo sat, I pointed at Pedro. " Your abuleo Pedro didn't have a gift Mari, and your abulea loved him, give her time to see that you're just as magical as the other's"  she sighed and nodded in defeat. "Your right matt, you always are" she said in a playful tone, I nudged her playfully before feeling another presence enter the room. I stood up straight as I noticed it was her abulea, "Matteo miho when did you get here?". Only 5 minutes ago abulea, I was just coming to visit Mari, I'll be back later for Antonio's gift reveal later. She smiled gently and nodded before walking off, "she likes everyone but me!". I looked at Mari, going to say something before I felt a presence I tried to pin point it, but It was coming from the walls.
     I shook my head for the hundredth time not knowing why I felt a presence in the walls, I had gotten home an hour ago and was now getting ready for Antonio's celebration. " Teo, ¿estás lista para ir?" I heardy Mami shout, "Si Mami!" I called while walking downstairs to the door where she was waiting. Together we walked to where Casita sat. I smiled at Dolores before nodding at a Dolores looking camilo, "hola res, milo" I said while looking at them both respectively. Camilo changed back to himself he was always shocked I knew who he was when he wasn't his regular looking self. I chuckled before walking off to find Mari but camilo stopped me, and quicky led me upstairs to his room, closing the door behind us. "What's going on" I asked he looked at me nervously, "a second door has appeared today, it only did when you walked up the stairs with Mari today" he said matter a factly.  I hid my nerves "and what does that mean?" I asked playing ignorant.He narrowed his eyes at me, "you have a gift, which means your related to us! And abulea has always treated you as such! Who exactly are you Matteo." I panicked and fled from his room as quickly as I could. I made it back downstairs and stood close to my mom.
   Antonio's gift was being able to understand animals, which made a lot of sense he was always an animal kid. But after that alma called for everyone's attention once more. "Gather back downstairs, we have on more gift to introduce", everyone did as told I could sense the entire madrigal family's fear, and anxiousness. "Matteo Garcia!, Please walk up the stairs." I shrank a little feeling like I was going to vomit, I looked around for Mari but she looked away hurt and betrayed. I was about to run out the courtyard and all the way to MY home but I felt Camilo hold hand. I could feel his emotions he was calm, and at peace, he wasn't angry, but I could feel the curiosity and sadness roll off him. I held his hand tightly and stuck as close as I could to him while walking up the stairs.
    I looked at camilo as he whispered reassurance to me, just before we reached the top of the stairs. He kissed my head before letting go and standing off to the side where my mother now stood, "will you use your gift to hounor our miracle, to serve and to strength this cummotiny, and to strength our home" I nodded not being able to trust my voice right now. Alma moved out of the way as I finally noticed the glowing door, not yet claimed. I looked at camilo as he nodded with a supportive smile, I hesitated before touching the doorknob. A feeling of peace and strength, along with energy flowed through me, before I noticed I could see colors rolling of people, camilo had a bright golden color rolling off with him mixed with a tinge of pink, I could, now understand bright gold and pink were associated to be Happiness, and love? 
    I looked at the door as it changed to have a image of how I looked like exactly with 3 other people behind me, each with waves of emotions it seemed to be rolling off them. Them all of a sudden different colors radiated off me, gold, blue, white, black, pink, and many others. Everyone stared in awe, I looked at Mari she met my gaze before turning away from me, I frowned, blue started rolling off me, before I looked at camilo he smiled and nodded towards the door. I smiled back at him before twisting the knob and opening the door, I walked in, noticing and taking everything in, the bed was a simple black bedding with gold flecks on it, everything seemed to resemble a cozy cabin room but more elegant and larger, book shelves lined the walls, color categorized with labels above of emotions. Their was a large closet filled with clothes size and shoes as well, a piano that was shade darker then gold, there was a fireplace with a love seat, and two couches infront of it. A full body mirror for two people as well. There was a few instruments since I loved to play, and a large bathroom enough for 3 people, along with a pool and an inside gym, a kitchen and a dinning room, it went on forever with anything I could want or need. Alma seemed to catch on to what my gift was. " We have a beautiful new gift!" I smiled at her as she nodded for me to say what my gift was. " I can change and read peoples emotions, I can sense another person's presence, and can see anyone's emotions along with the color of their emotions" I smiled nervously as the towns people clapped and cheered.
