Y/N L/N. She's a girl with secrets. She's afraid that people would see her as a cursed child. But one day, she accidentally reveal her secret. Just like what she feared... she is seen as a monster.
Not wanting to face their treatment any longer. Sh...
He pulls me into another hug. I just close my eyes and wrap my arms around his torso. I lean my head against his chest. Is it okay... for me to stay here? What if I hurt someone?
-New Home-
Y/N P.O.V
Someone knocks on my door, waking me up in the process. I furrow my eyebrow at the sound. I brush my hair and change my clothes. I hear another knocking sound.
"Yes yes! I'm coming!" I said. I quickly rush towards the front door and opens it. "Oh... Camilo. What is it?" I asked. "Abuela wants to see you..." he said. I furrow my eyebrow. "Why?" I asked, looking at her in confusion.
"Um. Dolores kinda heard everything. She told everyone in Casita. So everyone knows about your gift" he said. I froze at what he said. If the Madrigal family knows about my power... it won't be long until the rest of the people here know about it.
"Y/N?" He said, waving a hand in front of my face. I snap out of it. "H-Huh?" I stuttered out. "Are you okay?" He asked. "I... I'm worried..." I said. "Why?" He said.
"If your family knows. It won't be long until the rest of the town find out too. What if... what if they treat me like a freak?? What if... what if" I said, visibly panicking. "Y/N... calm down. Deep breath in... deep breath out" he said, placing his hands on both of my shoulder. I follow his guide.
"Everything is going to be alright. Come on..." he said. He gently hold my hand. "Wait..." I said before he can pull me along. He turns to look at me. "Why?" He said. "My bag..." I said. "Oh... alright..." he said. I turn around and head inside. I grab my bag and head back out.
"Ready?" He said. I just nod my head. To be honest, not at all. But since Abuela is the one asking for me, I couldn't say no. Camilo grabs my hand and gently pulling me along with him.

We are now standing in front of Casita. Camilo turn to look at me with a reassuring smile. I just gulp out of nervousness. He give my hand a light squeeze. I take a deep breath. He take a step forward. I follow him quietly.
Abuela is sitting on a chair by the terrace. "Abuela?" Camilo said. She turns to look at him. Then her eyes moves towards me. I just look down nervously. I bit my lips.
"So... Y/N" she started. "Yes, Abuela?" I said, as I finally look at her. She walks towards me, looking at me with a stern expression. "I heard that you have a gift of your own..." she said. I just nod my head, not saying anything.
I want to deny... calling it a curse like I always do. But Camilo would be upset if I call it a curse. Wait... why do I even care about what he thinks?? Maybe since he's the first person that reacts positively about my power.
"Care to show me?" She said. "S-Show?" I said. She nods her head. I turn to look at Camilo. He nods his head reassuringly. I turn to look at Abuela. "Okay..." I said.
I move to sit down. I take out my drawing kit. I grab my sketchbook and start drawing. I draw a couple of butterfly, because it's the easiest and fastest.
Once I'm done. I wave my hand across the page. A soft f/c glow appear and the butterflies slowly comes to life. The wings starts fluttering and it comes out of the page and fly around.

"Fascinating..." she said, staring at the swarm of butterflies that is flying around her. "Thanks..." I mumbled.
She turns to look at me and place a hand on my shoulder. "What seem to be the problem? What Dolores told me isn't clear. I want to hear it from you..." she said. I stare at her hesitantly. She notice the hesitation in my eyes.
"It's okay. No one is going to judge you..." she said. I take a deep breath and start telling her everything that happened. Along with my dad's death and how I was not in control of myself.
By the end of it, I keep my head down. I'm scared to look at her. Afraid of what she might think of me. I have grown to love this place... but if they're scared of me. Then I'm gonna have to leave again.
I froze when I feel a pair of arms wrapped around me. I turn my head slightly to see Abuela is hugging me. I start to sniff softly.
"Oh... I'm sorry it happened to you, Y/N. But you've nothing to worry about. You are welcome here. This is your home..." she said. I just give her a small smile as tears begin to stream down my cheeks.
She pulls away and smile at me. "How about you move with us here in Casita?" She said. "Move... h-here?" I stuttered out nervously. She smiles and nod her head.
"Think about it, Y/N. By being with the rest of us. You will be able to see how your gift will benefit you. You can even help them serve the people here" she said. Help people... yes... it's better than hurting them, like what I did to dad.
"Is it really okay though?" I said, in a low voice. "If it's not okay. Why would I offer it to you?" She said. "Oh right... sorry" I said, embarrassed. She just smile and gently pat my head.
"You will share a room with Mirabel. We'll have your part of the room ready as soon as possible okay?" she said. I just nod my head, while smiling happily at her. I can finally feel what it's like to have a family.
Time-skip
Mirabel is leading me to her room. I clutch onto my bag's strap nervously. Neither of us said anything. I just follow her as she leads me through the corridors.
She eventually stops in front of a door. She opens the door and walks in. She turns around to look at me. I just stare at her, not knowing what to do. She raised an eyebrow as she looks at me.
"Come on in, Y/N. What are you doing just standing there?" She said. "Okay..." I said. But I just stand in silent. She lets out a sigh and walks towards me. She gently grab my hand and pulls me inside.
"It's okay, Y/N. I won't hurt you..." she said, smiling at me. I just give her a small smile. There's two beds in the room. Luisa is probably the one arranging this.
"I heard what happened back in your old town. I'm sorry it happened to you..." she said. I just keep my head down. I feel myself getting pulled into a hug. I just wrap my arms around her in return. She gently pat my back as an attempt to comfort me.
"Welcome to Casita. I hope you'll like it here. I will be the best roommate for you!" She promised. I nod my head and smile at her. "Thank you, Mirabel..." I said. She grins at me and pulls me into another hug. I let out a soft giggle as I return her hug.
I place my belongings on the bed. I take my drawing kit and place it on the desk. I place my hand on the desk, gently caressing the wood. Well... I guess this is my new home now.
