Hermosa | Camilo Madrigal

☆ Chapter 15 - Meaningless | Bruno ☆

After I ate, I went to my room. An urge to have a vision tugged onto my thoughts like a tree growing inside you. I couldn't take it anymore. I raced up the stairs, my pace quickening as the room neared. The smell of dirt familiar as I slid down a pile of sand. I say down, candles already laid out as if prepared for this very moment.

Breathe in, breathe out. Eyes closed, hair swaying, sand blasting.

Y/n, asleep. Dreaming. Abuela enters her room with some sort of food. A muffled shout could be barely heard and Abuela turned away. Memories, glimpses of cries and agony. It was a dream, it wasn't real  y/n wake up! Camilo shook her seemingly lifeless body, tears streaming down his face. Abuela looked through the crack of the door, sinister thoughts overtaken her once pure heart. Y/n...

Down falls the sand and the emerald glass appears. But there was nothing on it.

Y/n's pov:

We were sitting at the table, light dimly glowing from a few candles scarcely layed across here and there. It was quiet, only chewing noises were heard. I could feel Pepa watching me with kind eyes but I couldn't stop thinking about that voice. It was familiar in a way.

Camilo: "You okay, Hermosa?"

The awkward silence was broken by his gentle voice as he held my hand. I missed his touch.

Y/n: "I'm fine, Camilo. Just hungry."

He lent a smile as I leaned into him. Bruno hurried quickly, stuffing his face with the remaining food on his plate.

Pepa: "Where are you going?"

Her hand rested on her hip as a small trickle of rain let itself in.

Bruno: "Just... to my room. Im tired."

Pepa raised an eyebrow as he borrowed a candle and disappeared out of the room.

?: "Wake up."

I perked my head in curiosity, anxiously darted my eyes from one spot to another. Camilo tightened his grip on my hands noticing how suddenly alert I became.

?: "Wake up!"

Whispers behind me were barely able to understand, it sounded far away yet so close. My head slowly started to spin as I continued to find the voice. I eventually stood up, ears furiously ringing.

Camilo: "Y/n what is it, you can tell me."

I ignored his plead, determined to find that voice. Who was it? Dolores? Abuela? Mirabel? No... someone else...

?: "Please... WAKE UP!"

Romeo: "Careful, your going to fall!"

I was too dizzy to hear him. I tried to walk but Camilo grabbed me as Pepa followed behind to his room.

Y/n: "No, the voice! I need to find it!"

Camilo: "What voice? I don't hear anything."

I struggled and squirmed, trying to break free from his grip. I was going numb.

Y/n: "Let me go, I have to find it!"

My eyes fluttered and my knees grew week.

Camilo: "Hermosa..."

I could barely hear him, his scent bringing me bliss as my breaths thinned.

?: "I'm sorry, she's gone..."
