Camilo's POV

       Growing up in a big family was never easy, especially with a female cousin that was your age. I never understood why I dreamed of being in Mirabel's shoes even when she didn't have a gift, maybe it's because I was jealous of her curved body or the skirts she wore. After a couple of years, I assumed I would never have my answers that was until the night of my sixteenth birthday when Abuela had spoken to me: "Do you really want to end up like Tio Bruno, Camilo?". Maybe he would understand how I was feeling about all of this, but how could I ask him this out of the blue especially since we're apparently preparing for the biggest battle of our lives. 

         "Camilo?" asked Tio Bruno, looking at me awkwardly: I snapped out of my thoughts and stared back at him, "Yes, Tio Bruno?" I responded. "Oh just- wait you know never mind, are you exci- no wait I.." stuttered Tio Bruno, his words not coming out clear. "I would love to know  about our super dangerous adventurous plan!" I said cheerfully, I could tell it cheered my Tio up. "I'll tell you once we arrive at the place." answered Bruno smiling, I smiled back at him and we walked towards an unknown place.

Mirabel's POV

        Is this what it felt like to have a gift? I felt so good, now I get why everyone in the family hated me: after all, I was just a useless brat that didn't deserve anything. No wonder, no one in the family liked me: I should probably leave town and never come back. "You shouldn't do that Mirabel, I can hear your thoughts.. you know." said the ghost of Casita echoing inside of my head making me fall on the ground, "Do you even know how powerful you are right now..? Oh, how the others would kill to have your power," whispered Casita. Ugh, Casita can read my thoughts now too? I tried getting out of the cave, but Casita pushed me back: "Now Mirabel.. you can't give up this easily" Casita mumbled. "What do you mean I can't give up that easily? I want my mom back, Casita I'm only 15.." I said trying to get near the exit of the cave. 

         "Remember all the pain that family caused you, the years you were cast in the shadow by Alma. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU, MIRABEL SNAP OUT OF YOUR FANTASY.. except me, of course." the Casita said rumbling, the cave shook. That wasn't true, Tio Bruno was still out there and he cared about her more than this comforting, but fake voice within the walls. She felt the power in her veins fading away, "Tio Bruno doesn't care about you, he stopped you from becoming the powerful queen you are meant to be Mirabel." the walls said trying to get into her head. Think positive Mirabel, think positive..

"You can't think positive if you're worth nothing Mirabel even you know that."

        I screamed and broke a piece of the cave, I kept punching the walls. I can't handle this anymore, it pains me. I HATE EVERYONE.

I HATE EVERYONE.

I HATE EVERYONE.

I HATE EVERYONE.

TW: Self-harm.







          I got out a sharp crystal and slit my wrist with it etching the words: "I hate myself." soon before I knew it I had collapsed on the ground. When I opened my eyes, I looked in a mirror and I had seen my old self in my old boring clothes. I hate myself, why couldn't I just be better? "You can be better and fit into the family along with slowly killing them.. all of them." mumbled the walls, I didn't know how I felt about this. I just wish I could stop feeling my emotions. "I can give you a second chance..."

"In exchange for your emotions"

       The words from the Casita had been electrocuted in my brain and hesitation filled my body, but I felt the Casita slowly controlling me. "M-i-r-a-b-e-l listen to me. I'm the only one who's been on your side this whole time and now I'm bestowing you with the best gift possible!" declared the spirit making me fall over in frustration. Whose side would I pick..? "Live in the shadows of your family forever or join them. Simple choice, Mirabel.." remarked the spirit, slightly giggling.

"I chose... TO JOIN THEM."

     The spirit smiled and I found my soul being sucked out of myself, I felt my emotions switch. My personality crumbled to a different persona, my once innocent mind turn into a villain's cavern. I was ready this time and I was going to manipulate my whole family, by one unpredictable move.

Hypnosis...

    My gift was too special that the good Casita would never give it to me, they're afraid of me disobeying the family, now look where we are now. I'm going to ruin this family piece by piece, this was the revenge of Mirabel Madrigal. I was going to slowly take over the village and turn it into my playful field to toy around, this is karma to Abu- Alma for the PAIN SHE CAUSED ME. I'm never removing this from my soul, now I'm officially a Madrigal. 

I want what I deserve.

Camilo's POV

         We arrived at the cabin, it was small compared to old Casita but I felt comfortable here for some reason. I wonder where my family members are right now, I hope Antonio's doing okay: 2 days after his gift ceremony this tragedy happens. Wait where's Mirabel, I haven't seen her all day. "Camilo are you ready?", I snapped out of my thoughts once again. "Yeah of course, ready as I'll ever be!" I exclaimed taking Bruno aback. "Okay, well Uhm.." Bruno said. 

No one's POV but the same area

        "The miracle is dying, the Casita has collapsed and your cousin Mirabel has gone rogue and god knows what's going to happen next," exclaimed Bruno, he gasped for air as he finished his sentences. Camilo looked shocked, but one thought came to mind: Mirabel couldn't have gone rogue. "But why would Mira go rogue, she's so happy and has such a bubbly personality. She's the person I'd least expect to turn evil," said Camilo sadly, there had to be some sort of explanation behind this. "Well, Mirabel has been cast into the shadows by Abuela: you know how horribly she's treated. I think something inside of her snapped and well my vision said the same story as well. She's slowly turning into the worst villain Encanto has ever seen and she's going to get power more powerful than any villain that has ever been thought by mankind. That is unless we stop her." mumbled Bruno, Camilo almost fell off his chair once he heard this. "This isn't the Mirabel I know..", he whispered looking at the night sky. At that moment the two felt a jolt of energy as their powers had been restored to them. "What's going on?" the two said simultaneously and then a view of the Casita being magically rebuilt had appeared. Bruno waved for Camilo to go towards it. He was the first one there after, 5 minutes his whole family was with him.

INCLUDING MIRABEL.
