Hermosa | Camilo Madrigal

☆ Chapter 13 - Blame | Camilo ☆

?: "I do..."

A voice echoed through the cries of pain coming from Bruno and Romeo.

Y/n: "Who's there?"

I made sure to hold y/ns hand to be sure she wasn't scared.

?: "You don't recognize the sound of this old lady?"

I must have turned into everyone I knew at this rate. I could feel my body shifting uncontrollably. I looked around for Antonio, luckily he was hiding behind us.

Abuela

Camilo: "Abuela, your ok?"

Abuela: "I am, yes. But please, I'm not here to scare you. I'm not that evil."

Y/n: "Then... Show yourself..."

Her hands were shaking but I didn't want to tighten my grip incase she gets uncomfortable.

The sand moved as the shadows changed to reveal Abuela.

Abuela: "Are you happy now?"

Romeo: "MAKE IT STOP!"

Romeo was crying at the sound of his words, Bruno was still hanging in there. I was worried out of my mind.

Why was my Abuela here. What does she know. What is going on and how do we stop this... pain.

Y/n: "You said you know what is happening to them, tell me. Tell us how to stop their suffering!"

Abuela: "Ok ok, that necklace your holding, ontains Romeo's powers, correct? Bruno told you the whole colour thing. It's white now which means that his soul has been restored... At a cost of his memory."

Camilo: "Yeah, we know that. How do we help them!"

Abuela: "The reason for their pain and torture is because your trying to change who Romeo once was. Despite his memories disappearing, his powers are still apart of him, crystal or not, and its trying to mind control Bruno in its own will."

Y/n: "That's horrible! How do we stop this from happening."

Abuela: "You... Have to kill Romeo."
__________
Y/ns pov:

No no no no no, no. NO! He doesn't deserve this, but Bruno doesn't deserve to suffer like this... oh what do I do... What do I do?!

Camilo: "You're lying abuela... Just like with everything that involves me and
y/n you LIE!"

Antonio: "Camilo, your crying..."

His sniffles silenced my thoughts.

Romeo: "Just do it, I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me, I-"

Camilo: "YOU CANT SAY THAT WHEN ALL YOU'VE DONE IS HURT US!!"

An eerie silence fell, only whimpers of pain were faintly heard.

Y/n: "Camilo... It wasn't his fault..."

Camilo: "So you're defending him? The one who caused all of this in the first place?"

Romeo: "I didn't mean to."

Y/n: "SHUT UP ROMEO."

Camilo: "SHUT UP ROMEO."

Y/n: "Camilo, look. There has to be another way, we can change Romeo for the greater good!"

Camilo: "This isn't the y/n I know and love, you've changed... what happened to you?"

Y/n: "Nothing! Nothing has changed, what do you mean 'know and love'?!"

Camilo: "You would have agreed with me on this, agreed that we end this once and for all. Heck, even Romeo wants to stop this."

Y/n: "I'm just saying that there's something we can do instead of killing him, I don't want anyone to die."

Camilo: "BRUNO IS IN PAIN, Y/N!! AND ITS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!"

Oh no, I've said too much...

Camilo: "Y/n... I-"

Y/n: "It's because I want him alive... Isn't it..."

Antonio: "Y/n? Do you need a hug?"

Y/n: "I think Bruno needs one more than I do right now, but thanks..."

Camilo: "Y/n..."

I tried to reach out for her hand, but she... pulled away?

No, please... I'm sorry I didn't mean it!
Y/n please say something. Let me hold you...

Y/n: "Let's just get this over with..."

Her words were shaken and her tears soaked into the sand beneath her feet. It was awkward standing there while her back was turned to me.

Romeo: "I know I haven't known you for long, but if you do this... Do it quickly."

Abuela held a knife out to y/n. She walked towards her with her hand out and took the knife from her wrinkled hand. Y/n slowly walks over to Romeo sniffling as her vision was blurred by tears. She made her way over to the shaking body, her hands clenched the dagger as I hid Antonio's eyes.

?: "WAIT!!"
