"I was blessed with a gift."

The whole house went silent.

Julieta covered her mouth from shock, while Pepa held onto her amor's hand as she tried her best to not form clouds above her. All the Madrigals knew what that meant. They really hate to assume, but unfortunately, they all had the same thought in mind.

She lost someone.

Valentina got anxious as the Madrigals just stared, still in shock, towards her. It went like that for a few seconds. Valentina had already placed her hand back down to her side as she set her gaze towards the patterns on the brick floor, suddenly finding it interesting to look at as she tried to brush off the eyes that were on her.

"Well uhm.." Mirabel started, trying to think of a question.

The youngest Madrigal, Antonio suddenly spoke, "May we please know what gift you have?" the young boy said politely, looking towards Valentina with a small smile on his face. Valentina faced the boy as she gave him a small closed smile.

Valentina raised her right hand again, this time activating her gift, making the diamond shape glow in a soft white and sparkled, "I can create crystals." As she said this, a glowing crystal appeared, levitating just above her hand.

There were a few 'aws' and 'ooos' as she showed them her power. One person in particular, had a different thought in mind.

"What happened to her?" the shapeshifter thought to himself as he gazed back and forth towards the crystal and Valentina's face. He couldn't help but want to know her story. When he first laid eyes on her as she walked in their Casita, he immediately noticed the dullness her eyes had, as well as the slight frown on her face. As he continued on thinking about the girl, Dolores caught her brother staring at their female guest. She quickly analyzed his face, and from there she knew that her brother had a lot of thought on his mind. So, she did what any other older sibling would do.

Dolores slowly leaned over, her mouth a few inches away from her younger brother's ear and whispered, "It's rude to stare." She said quickly and went back to her own seat as she witnessed her brother slightly screamed, shifting into her, Felix, some townsfolk, then back to himself.

Everyone's eyes shot towards Camilo, witnessing his sudden outburst. Valentina already vanished the crystal as she glanced towards the boy, her face blank. The shapeshifter coughed and apologized before giving his sister a side glance. Dolores only smirked as her gaze went back to their guests.

"Ahem, so anyway.. You have a wonderfully beautiful gift, Valentina." Alma complimented the girl as she shrugged off the little interruption her nephew caused. Then, an idea suddenly popped up from her mind.
