 Mirabel's POV        

          I woke up in my mother's room, I felt my head throbbing. What was going on? Where was I? Ugh it felt like I had been woken up from a nightmare, Casita had gone bad and it was controlling me. I had gotten really bad powers and I.. I felt myself throw up. I wanted to go back to sleep, everything just hurt. Shoot, mom's here.. I tried pretending to be asleep, but she caught me in my act. "Mirabel..." she said, she put me in a straight-position. She stared into my eyes and started crying, "Mirabel you're back to being you!" she exclaimed. 

      I looked confusedly at her, but slowly had seen her shifting into a monster. Another nightmare, of course. Why can't anything in my life actually go well for once? I woke up and felt coloured my lenses a brownish-green so my family wouldn't see the change of eye-colour in me. I was on my bed inside of my room, I heard my mom's footsteps: I quickly put on my glasses and smiled at her. She was holding a tray of arepas, having some of them couldn't hurt. I took the plate and ate some of them, but the same reaction happened. My glasses broke and I felt my head hurting again, my mom knew something was up. She feed more arepas into my mouth which made my condition even worse, I started throwing up and my eyes started flashing. My mom noticed this and before I could control her, she screamed. I was doomed, how could someone like me be cut out for a job like this? So, I did the most reasonable thing a person would do: run.

      I ran as fast as I could, the Casita tried stopping me, but I still had some control on the house much more than the rest of my family anyways. I could hear doors opening, I was running out of time. I felt my new-found gift vanishing away as I opened the doors to my house only to be greeted by Camilo and.. Bruno? What are they doing here? Wait, it all made sense: Bruno had replaced me with Camilo. I pushed through them and sprinted towards the forest, I could hear 90% of the family following me. I had to act fast and accordingly, I couldn't let this gift die out.. not yet. "I'm impressed by how far you've come Mirabel." the spirit whispered into my ears, I ignored his voice and raced to the forest. There had to be a lonely miserable person here, there had to.. That's when I found him, I recognized him. His name was James, a lot of people would talk about him and I remember he was in my class one year. He was a year older than me with curly brown hair and light green eyes, sadly his mother passed away when he was young and his father is unknown. Although we didn't know each other, I related to him in a way..

None of our families cared about us.

     I walked up to him and sat down beside him, I could hear Camilo's footsteps. I looked him straight in the eyes, he noticed my eyes and looked weirdly at me. "Look, I don't have much time but.. do you ever feel like you don't fit in anywhere? That you're worthless and no one cares about you.. well I have a solution! Magical powers, you can control the minds of the others. What do you say?" I said, out of breath. He looked strangely at me and shot a death stare at me. 






"I say yes."

     Well that took me by surprise, I quickly stared him straight in the eyes and started transferring my powers to him. The spirit of Casita had a huge play in this, he guided me through the steps and by the time Camilo had spotted me, James was already gone. I acted cool as the family approached me when I had seen Dolores, shoot she had snapped out of my control. "Care to explain why the candle turned dark purple around you AND WHY YOU MIND-CONTROLLED ME?!" shouted Dolores, the whole family went silent. I was glad I had already transferred my powers to someone else, now the legend of my trauma continues. They all were trying to figure out how to process the news of me being an "evil" person. Slowly they all formed a line, of course they wanted to fight.
