Fireheart: Camilo X Reader

Chapter 7

Narrators pov:

"The cracks started with you. Bruno left because of you. Luisa losing her power, Isabela's out of control, because of you. I don't know why you weren't given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt this family" everyone went quite and the cracks started to form again as Mirabel started hyperventilate "Hey she was just trying to help" Y/n stepped in, at this point almost everyone in the family was watching and Isabela had slowly stepped off by Luisa "you! Get out of my home you are nothing but a little girl who can't control her gift! I don't know how you charmed the rest of my family but you have not charmed me!" She could feel her eyes start to well up, but she wouldn't let those tears fall not in front of Alma "I didn't do shit to you. I'm so very fucking sorry that you hate me and I know I can't do anything but you cannot talk to Mirabel like-" Y/n was cut off but a swift slap of the face by Alma, she stepped back a few and Mirabel grabbed her arms to stabilize her.

Everyone in the room became tense, especially Camilo. He moved his hands into fists, squeezing so tight that his knuckles were bone white.

"I will never be good enough for you. Will I? No matter how hard I try. No matter how hard any of us try. Luisa I'll never be strong enough, Isabela won't be perfect enough. Bruno left our family because you always saw the worst in him" the cracks were getting bigger and stronger by the moment "Bruno didn't care about this family." The rage in Mirabel's eyes was growing passionately by the second "Bruno loves this family—I love this family—we all love this family. You're the one that doesn't care." Cracks in the town started to spread cracking the mountain to two "you're the one breaking our home. The miracle is dying because of you."

A giant crack from in the middle shaking the whole house, people were panicking at the wobbling candle above "casita get me up there" Mirabel screamed, she ran towards the candle and the casita broke off the railing for Mirabel to climb on while Y/n used her wind to propel herself up there, something felt off since the magic in the house was fading—it was almost like a dark door—her magic was weaker so she couldn't use wind all way and fell to the ledge of the roof where her hand was slipping.

Isabela was swinging on her vines to rush to the dying miracle, her door started flickering and went completely dark and her vines disappeared, as she fell the casita stuck out pillars to catch her

Camilo was shapeshifting into all sorts of people to dodge the rumble flying towards him, he jumped to the roof almost making it but before he could put a hand on the ledge he transformed back into himself and his door went out. He was falling to the ground "CAMILO!" Y/n cried, still struggling with getting on the roof, the house extended a railing to him; he fell next to Isabela.

All of the plants were dying and the casita was pushing everyone out in waves. Making sure no one had to get hurt.

Y/n had hoisted herself onto the roof struggling for balance, she looked down to see Mirabel's ladder she was on was shaking and looked like it was about to fall "Mirabel" she shouted giving her friend a helping hand "Y/n what are you doing!" She heard her family in the distance, she ignored the battle cries and focused on getting her friends to the top.

Y/n was weak from the fade of magic, she had trouble breathing even. Her bones felt frail, her chest felt heavy, her eyelids like weights, her legs hollow like she was slowly fading too. It was probably why the house was so urgent to get everyone with gifts out of there.

She looked back at the candle to see it was fading fast. She used some of her fire to keep it burning, but it didn't seem to make all that much of the difference. She used all her force to pull Mirabel up and onto the roof making Mirabel and her stumble back together.
