Villain Mirabel AU

Shatter Me

The Casita was crumbling.

No one's POV

      Those words alarmed everyone, they all rushed down to the floor where Alma was screaming. The doors to the entrance of the casita were freshly opened with someone running out of there, no one paid attention to it. The pain inside of Alma's mind was killing her slowly, Luisa jumped to go help Alma only for parts of the Casita in front of them blocking them away from the rest of the world. Mirabel was still upstairs with James, Julieta screamed for Mirabel but there was no response. The mother rushed up the stairs only to find an empty bedroom with the bedroom window open. "As long as they're safe..." Julieta mumbled. "THIS FAMILY IS CURSED!" bellowed a masculine voice, most people assumed it was James, but Julieta recognized it as her younger brother's. She needed to rescue her hermanito, but there wasn't enough time to. "SOMEONE GO RESCUE BRUNO FROM THE WALLS!" she yelled, she ran down the stairs: they slowly crumbled after her. "Where's Mira?" Isabela asked worriedly, "I don't know, but she's not here: her bedroom window was open." Julieta answered quickly. Then she caught her sobrino Camilo running towards the walls, she couldn't let him go... he was too young! Pepa would never forgive her if she let her hijo go away like that, Julieta would just have to pray that Camilo and Bruno would come back alive.

Mirabel's POV

       I love spending time with James especially since we were official now and we both didn't want kids, they were a waste of time anyways. I heard everyone getting out of their seat upstairs, I waited a few moments before getting and I went to go check on abuela. I looked from the balcony and I spotted Alma alone at the dinner table. I could kill her right now and no one would notice, wait- Mirabel think positive! Think positive, think positive, think positive. I looked at Alma and then her exasperated expression, I looked at the walls next to me... they were cracking. I walked down quietly, I shouldn't leave her worried... who am I kidding? This is the woman that's caused me pain for several years, I couldn't let her get away from this. I wasn't going to do anything horrible. I walked up to her from the behind and grabbed her from the behind, "To hell with your rules, Alma." I said in an unknown voice mysteriously and coldly. I quickly tiptoed upstairs and grabbed James. "I was just going to check on you." he said earnestly, I smiled at him: his charm could work on me any day. "The casita is going to be destroyed very shortly, we have to get out of here before that." I declared, an expression of shock filled his face. "What about the candle?" James questioned, I shot an annoyed look at him. "I'm done trying to protect that thing, it's only done harm to this family." I snapped.

Are you coming with me?

Always.

          At that moment, we would run away from the world with our window announcing our departure. I would finally be happy: I would finally get my happily ever ending. No one could stop us now! "Mirabelllllll" my mother called, shoot we didn't have enough time: I opened the window to make it seem like we left. Then, we hid under my bed: I climbed on top of him to avoid my mother seeing me. She looked around and then found the bedroom window wide open, "As long as they're safe..." Julieta mumbled, I felt bad for her. I wanted to go up and hug her, but then I remembered all the burnt leftovers she fed me. I slumped back and I felt someone hugging me from below: it was James. I hugged him back and suddenly chaos broke from below, there were screams coming from everywhere. I only had one choice: escape. I grabbed James and we jumped out of the window together, I stared into his deep amethyst eyes. I would pay millions to just to relive that moment.

Camilo's POV

       I felt like the world was spinning before, I knew it I had lost two more family members in my life. I had seen Julieta running up the stairs, she was probably running after Mirabel! I tried going after her, but I knew my regular form wouldn't help. I tried transforming into Luisa, but my powers stopped working. No... I could hear something in the far distance, but I couldn't recognize the words. Luckily I had seen tia Julieta come back, but what she said next stabbed me in the back.

SOMEONE GO RESCUE BRUNO FROM THE WALLS!

    I knew no one else would, I would have to. Bruno had done so much for me for these past few days especially after Carlos had passed away. This was me repaying him! I raced into the kitchen and broke a wall leading inside to Bruno's hideout. Although there was no sight of him. "BRUNO!" I called out, was he already dead? I briskly started looking for him, he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I started panicking and the walls closed on me, my hand was stuck under it. I was going to die here and I haven't even found Bruno. My biggest fear wasn't death itself, it was dying alone... at least Luisa and Alma had died in each other's arms. Antonio had died accompanied by his murderer and his animal friends, my soulmate Carlos had died alone as well. I was going to suffer the same fate as him, I felt all the hope go down the drain even Bruno's rats weren't here. 

     Wait, Bruno's rats weren't here... wait nope nevermind there was one and another, are they multiplying?! Suddenly I felt the wall in front crash open, it was tio Bruno to the rescue. "Camilo." he said, "Tio Bruno!" I exclaimed. We both hugged each other, he gasped at my hand... or what used to be my hand. All my bones in my hand were crushed to crisps, "We'll get you healed up once we're out of this hellhole." Bruno stated, with a smile. I laughed at his statement, "Welcome to the hell hole." I said jokingly, we both lost it laughing. I heard the walls crack more and Bruno's expression suddenly turned serious.

Let's do this.

      We jumped out of the broken wall hole and I felt the adrenaline rush through my body, the whole family looked at us as we broke out. Julieta and Agustin looked relieved, Isabela showed no emotion, and Dolores was too busy crying over Luisa. We all went towards each other and hugged one another, sadly family wasn't going to save the Casita this time. We were too late. The Casita crumbled on top of all of us.

No one's POV

      The Casita had collapsed with dead body parts scattered all across the field, this house would never be built up again and God knows how many lives were lost that day. There was a huge fire coming out of the scraps of the house, the rescue operations put it out in order to minimize to risk of the whole village burning down to crisps. The rescue operations had declared that there were no survivors.

The family Madrigal had been shattered.

Mirabel's POV

      I was starving, we had just settled into a new town: it was an hour of a walk, but after today it felt like a whole 24 hours. James and me had sat down, I was so in love with him. "Are you hungry?" he asked kindly, I nodded my head. This was the first time I noticed he had a glow-up, his hair was more thick and it was more well-maintained. He had grown abs and he had at least grown 8 inches taller. He made us some dinner using vegetables and it was delicious, my mouth watered seeing it. The dish was called escalivada and it was delicious, my mom would make this on special occasions. We both finished the dish within seconds and we fell asleep together.

A Month Later...

      James hasn't been home for hours, I'm starting to get worried for him. I decided to look out for him, he might just be shopping for longer than usual, but this was way too long even for him. It's been like this for the past 2 weeks, he's been coming home much later than usual and always making up excuses for it. Could he be cheating? No, that can't be it: I checked his belongings and asked around town. I had all the proof he wasn't cheating as if I was a divorce lawyer. I walked towards a forest and found footsteps that matched his shoes, here goes nothing... I walked farther into the forest and that's when I had seen him. No... this can't be true, this can't be true! How could he do this to me... 

What the $#!%?!
