it's been a day since my mamá killed herself. that was so unexpected. i knew i shouldn't have gone back. i could have saved her if i just sang properly. i'll never sing again. never again.
the madrigals have taken me in, i'm staying with mirabel in the nursery. i don't know what to do with my life. i cant live here forever and i have no job without my mama i can't perform anymore. what am i supposed to do with myself.
i should have stayed with camilo. it's my fault. if i had stayed with him then none of this would have happened. i've lost my mamá and my papa. maybe she was drivin crazy when papa passed away.
the image of my mother on the ground. the blood. it runs through my mind. it's all i see when i close my eyes. i feel like i haven't left that room yet. like i'm still there with her.
camilo has tried to talk to me about it but i can't bring myself to. he was right all along and i'm just so humiliated.
my thoughts that were driving me crazy were cut off when mirabel comes in to the room again. she looks at me,
"y/n, i know this is a lot to ask but you need to take your mind off of things and i need your help." she says.
i sit up from my laying position and face her. i'd do anything to stop thinking about what i saw even if it's for two seconds.
"so remember the other night at the gift ceremony, when i saw all the cracks and the candle almost going out." i nod my head remembering how camilo danced with me, but then the thought of my mother pushing me.
"well i figured out, the only way to save the magic is to look into bruno's vision. luisa said bruno saw something about the magic but disappeared. we have to go to his tower and find the vision!" she says jumping up in conclusion.
i'm interested, "alright, let's do it." i say forcing a smile. mirabel jumps with joy as she takes my hand and helps me off the bed.
when i got back from my mothers house covered in blood, she gave me a black shirt similar to hers with a long f/c skirt she made herself. we look like twins.
she held my hand while telling me abuela and everyone are out doing chores so now would be the perfect time.
we sneak around to the forbidden part of the house. the light on the door isn't glowing for some reason. we open the door and we are met with falling sand. mirabel asks casita to help but it turns out casita can't help in here.
mirabel try's to take the lead, she walks back and and moves quickly forward through the sand.
i hear her fall and land on the ground. this time i take more precaution going through the sand and land on my feet.
i help mirabel up and look upwards. "you're fucking kidding me." i say. looking at the miles of stairs ahead of us.
"we better get to climbing." mirabel says
"if i knew this is what the tower was like i wouldn't have left the nursery." i groan.
we've been climbing for a solid hour now and we are close to the top. i'm completely out of breath and my legs hurt bad. we finally make it to the top and i crash on the floor with a big groan.
"damn it." i hear mirabel say.
"what, what is it." i say forcing myself to my feet. i notice there is no bridge. ughhhhh "mirabel why did you drag me here."
i watch confused as she pulls out a log with the rope attached to it from a bridge that would have been there previously and tells me to hold on. i grab her and scream as she swings us across. my landing was not graceful i face planted and got a face full of dirt. i stand and wipe my face as i follow behind mirabel into bruno's chamber thing.
i look at the statues of bruno and the rats going everywhere. we enter a dark room and mirabel notices glowing green shards on the floor. "start collecting them!" she says. 'she's quick to figure things out i wouldn't have thought of that.'
i get on my hands and knees and begin digging up as many shards of glass as i can. 'this has definitely taken my mind off of mamá.' i remark in my head realising i just remembered her again.
i collect all the shards i can see and hand them to mirabel as the room begins to collapse and fill with sand. mirabel and i rush to the door and begin banging on it. i pull the handle and we are thrown out, almost sliding down the steep edge.
i lay down. "those shards better be what we were looking for." i say through huffs.
we make our way all the way back down the millions of stairs and out the door. we are covered in sand and we make our way back to the nursery.
in the nursery mirabel was putting the shards onto the table when i hear thunder and shove them in her pockets.
"oh tia pepa!" mirabel says,
"oh sorry, i was just coming back to collect the last of antonio's- ahh shoo shoo!" she says stopping her sentence to throw the cloud outside of the room.
"uhh tia, let's say bruno had a vision.." mirabel begins as i watch a cloud form above pepas head.
"we don't talk about bruno." she says now ringing out clothes from antonio's drawer.
"but what if you were in his vision what could that mean." she says.
i watch as felix breaks through the door. "she has to know."
"we don't talk about bruno!" she says more angrily shushing felix.
"he would say something horrible the BRA SKAT POW it would happen. and it's coming for you." he said.
suddenly they began singing. singing. perfect. just what i needed right now.
something about it being their wedding day and it was a good day until bruno came in and said it looked like rain. then a hurricane came in.
suddenly dolores grabbed mirabel and i and began telling us about how she can hear bruno and how the family doesn't understand the prophesies.
i felt myself sinking into the ground where i'm caught by camilo who puts me down before catching mirabel. he says that bruno is tall with rats. and he sees your dreams or some really exaggerated villain person.
then the townspeople are all like ahhh my fish is dead my gut is big i have no hair.
and isabelas all like i'm perfect and my life is great. isabela is a lot like me so i don't buy it.
and dolores is like i love this man but he's gonna get married to someone else cough my cousin.
blah blah blah.
everyone stops singing finally as it's time for isabelas proposal dinner.
mirabel and i quickly put together the prophecy before dinner. i look at it and it's mirabel infront if the cracks from where i'm standing. but mirabel says she can see me? WAIT ME?
we switch the sides we are standing on and i notice me but everything is blurred. but my sad face?? i cant make out what's in the background.
"this is weird.." i start saying before mirabels dad walks in.
he talks to mirabel and begins telling her to act normal for dinner tonight, "no one has to know" he says. until i hear a familiar squeak.
"i know... hm."
