chapter. 6 - the angelic coachman

" Mirabel...? Are you okay?"

The room that belonged to Bruno was quiet for a while as the glowing green glass remained on Mirabel's hands. Bruno rubbed the back of his neck feeling guilty, only to earn a pat on the shoulder by Mirabel herself.

" Don't feel bad Tio Bruno. I know you don't control the future. It's alright." She reassured. When she turned around, Camilo, wide eyed, looked at the vision in her hands.

" Mirabel the vision..!"
" Huh? Why? What's wro-"

The vision in her hands began to crack, her getting another cut in her palm as she tried to gently place it on the ground to avoid cracking the whole piece. When Mirabel took another glance, the vision turned into something similar as hers the day Casita was about to be in ruins.

" It's an unsure vision." Bruno muttered, kneeling down to take a closer look at Y/N's drowning body. Redirecting the glass in another angle, the girl's eyes were shown open, and she was swimming up the surface with a hand reaching out towards her.

Mirabel's eyes showed a glint of hope as she ignored the pain of her open wound and stared at her uncle's vision. " Th- Then she won't die! There's a possibility!"

Mirabel pulled Camilo and Bruno into a happy hug, tears flowing down her cheeks. The two men shared a relieved glance before patting the girl's back before letting go. " I have to go see her." she said, very persistent. But Camilo grabbed her by the wrist before she could take a step out the door.

" Wait Mirabel! It's still raining out there!"
" ....oh."

Mirabel flopped back onto the ground and buried her face into her knees. Her face burned at the thought of wanting to protect Y/N. " It is simply just a gesture of concern. I should stop overthinking these feelings and prioritize my best friend's safety." she thought to herself, aware of the two eyes belonging to her uncle and cousin staring at her defeated self.

" Hey. Don't sweat it too much. You've succeeded before with this type of problem and you will again." Camilo reassured, giving his cousin a hesitant pat on the back before she finally raised her head, pushing the messy curls on her face as she readjusted her glasses.

" Yeah you're right." she agreed, giving him a grin before letting out a nervous laugh. Although, Bruno still had this frown on his face, seeing as he made one of his family members once again be filled with worry and constant overthinking from one of his visions. Mirabel noticed this and scooted near him, placing an arm over his shoulder.

" Ay Tio Bruno. Get that frown off your face, this isn't your fault. I'm telling you again." Mirabel said, fist bumping his shoulder. Camilo followed tugging on Bruno's green poncho. " Right! Now let's get something to eat, I'm hungry and we need to find some other place to lighten up our moods."

" You're always hungry Camilo."
" And? Not my fault I have fast metabolism!"

The two dragged their uncle out of the room, having a long talk full of jokes as they descended the sandy stairs. Mirabel found comfort in both of their voices, almost forgetting the negative side of the unsure vision in her head.

After what seemed to be like a few minutes, they finally reached the bottom, the creak of Bruno's door opening catching Julieta's attention as she watched her daughter and her nephew exit her brother's room.

" There you are Mira! I've been looking for you mija."

Mirabel turned to be face to face with her mother. The sight of Julieta's face made her heart calm and relaxed.

" Mama!" she engulfed her mother into a hug, making Julieta confused. " Oh?"

She looked over at Bruno and he nodded sadly. " Looks like Mirabel got another bad vision." Julieta echoed in her head as she stroked Mirabel's hair. " Why the sudden hug?" she finally asked. " Nothing. Just felt like it mama."
