Hermosa | Camilo Madrigal

☆ Chapter 9 - Jokes on You | Y/n

?: "Oh darn, looks like my secret is out. Time to take care of the mess I guess..."

We all turned our heads in fear as a smile deepened into the figures eyes, glowing a soft red.

Dolores: "Stay away from us! GET OUT!!

Dolores charged at Romeo, leaving them both squirming on the ground. I ran over to help Dolores as Bruno stood from his chair.

?: "Dolores, it's fine its me! Get off me I'm sorry!"

Dolores looked at him surprised as he transforms into Camilo.

Camilo: "Hehe, see?"

I give him a death stare as Dolores stands up and moves to the side.

Y/n: "Don't you ever do that again, you could have been hurt, and more severely than just being pushed onto the ground..."

Camilo stands up and... hugs me?

Y/n: "What are you doing, I-"

Camilo: "I thought you liked Romeo and not me, but hearing you say that you don't... I couldn't help myself...."

Bruno looks at me suspicious.

Bruno: "So what are we gonna do about the Romeo problem? We don't even know his powers yet, they could be dangerous."

Y/n: "I think I've got a pretty good idea of what his powers might be, and how to deal with him..."

Timeskip to next morning)

Everyone was having breakfast at the table but suspicious looks darted from person to person since Abuela hadn't said anything this entire time.

Camilo whispers into my ear: "Where's Romeo?"

Y/n: "You tell me."

An awkward silence filled the air, a tense feeling rising from the ground.

Luisa: "Eh erm, I'm done."

Luisa stood up and pushed her chair in taking her plate over to the kitchen in a hurry.

Y/n: "Me too."

I did the same in hopes of getting out of here when Abuela stands from her seat, a stern look pointed directly at me.
I stood there in silence as everyone else gathered their plates and left, only Bruno stayed but he was watching from afar still eating an Arepa.

Abuela: "I understand you must hate me now after the incident with... Romeo..."

Hate you is an understatement.

Y/n: "I don't want to hear about Romeo again, nor you."

Abuela: "I understand, I do. It's just that I'm looking out for my grandchildren and yourself, I don't want harm to come to you or-"

Y/n: "You don't have to sound so formal, I know you don't want me and Camilo together. I get it, but that doesn't give you the right to assign Romeo to me."

Abuela: *Sigh* "I guess we'll have to do this the hard way."

Her voice changed in the middle of the sentence, going deeper and deeper until the last word.

I look behind her and saw Romeo on the balcony with red eyes.

Hernando: "Stay away from my mother!"

He rushed over to Romeo and tackled him to the ground, Luisa grabs him by the collar of his shirt and gives him a flick, knocking him out.
Abuela faints, Casita caught her before hitting the hard ground.

Y/n: "Isabela, can you use your vines and take her to her room?

Bruno: "I have half an Arepa left!"

Isabela: "On it!"

Green vines crept towards Abuela, gently lifting her with the help of Casita. They also snatched the Arepa from Bruno as they carried her to her bed.

Luisa: "What do we do with Romeo now?"

Camilo: "Leave him to me and y/n..."
