The heartbeat of a chameleon (CamiloxReader)

chapter 8

"Zip!" felix said picking camilo up
"Okay im done!" camilo replied

we got to our spot to watch i stood next to camilo, luisa right behind us, camilo held onto my waist

shoot, was i burning up again?? i couldnt hide now. i just had to deal with it

"50 years ago, in our darkest moment, this candle blessed us with a miracle. and the greatest honor of our family has been to use our blessing to serve this beloved community, tonight. we come together once more, as anther steps into the light. to make us proud" alma said her speach

antonio got revealed by casita opening the curtains, the tiles turning into a red carpet for antonio, spotlight turning on him. the crowd cheered for him, he was stuck in place looking around at all the people. casita nuged him to start walking

he looked over to someone behind the wall, putting his hand out towards them after a few seconds he wispered "i need you", i couldnt tell though

mirabel walked out after anther few seconds, people gasped, even me and camilo looked a bit surprised
"c'mon, lets get you to your door" mirabel said to antonio, antonio starting to cling on to her arm

as mirabel and and antonio are walking towards the stairs, mirabel looked blank, and worried. i could tell she was thinking of her night
although i wasnt there for her ceremony, i still felt bad for her

this definitely got my mind off of the position me and camilo were in. everyone was watching antonio closely, so very worried

"Will you serve this community and strengthen our home?" alma said to antonio, he nodded softly touching the candle, she stood aside with pepa, felix and mirabel to let antonio go to his door

everyone was looking intensely, hoping that tonight, didnt go as last ceremony.

Antonio was hesitant of touching the door knob, but reaching for it anyway, touching it softly as he did the door bursted with a bright golden glow, everyone gasped in awe

a toucan flew onto antonios arm, and started cawing at him
"Uh-huh! uh-huh! i understand you!" antonio said as the toucan flew onto his other arm

it cawed somemore
"Ofcourse they can come!" antonio said the the bird, it letting out some big caws

soon after so many different types of animals started flooding with animals, Alma sighed with relief
"we have a new gift!" alma annouced and the crowd started cheering

letting out fire works, dolores covering her ears and camilo cheering, as antonio walked in his room started forming from a normal room into a big jungle

everyone started walking in after him
"Its bigger in the inside?!" a kid yelled, a jaguar came running in straight toward antonio and picking him up

everyone, and i mean everyone was looking at antonios room in awe, antonio was running around with the jaguar
"My antonio!" felix yelled in excitement

"You wanna go where?" antonio yelled, riding the jaguar
soon after antonio got thrown onto a hammock camilo started snapping his fingers in excitement

after a moment the jaguar caught antonio and brought him back to us
"okay alright" Augustin said as the jaguar started snuggling up to Augustin, pepa went and gave antonio a hug, i was standing along camilo and dolores

camilo glanced at me and then dolores, smiling
"I knew you could do it" alma said to antonio going down to his height
"A gift just as special, As you" alma said

alma gasped
"We need a picture!"
"Everyone! come! come come come!" alma said enthusiastic for antonios new gift

"its a great night! its a prefect night" alma said, guiding people to where they should be
