The heartbeat of a chameleon (CamiloxReader)

chapter 10

i heard squeaks coming from rats and immediately went towards it, i saw mirabel and she was following the rats so i followed aswell

they climbed into a painting in the wall, what?? i gave mirabel a confused look, she opened up the painting or was it door?? and painting door? whatever. she opened it up and crawled inside and i followed, rats where running, the green shard started, floating? no. someone was holding it!

thunder stroke. we saw a man in a green hood, he looked mad and he suddenly ran off "Wait!" mirabel called and started chasing after him i followed, he was obviously trying to loose us, after a bit he started hoping on loose wood planks

mirabel followed him after pausing and almost fell "Mirabel!" i called, hearing the running stop, i didnt know what to do i was panicked he came back as mirabel was just about to fall, very far..

he caught her "Your very sweaty" he said, grabbing onto her hand, i looked over and heard a squeak then some yelling, right after i saw him pop up i rolled my eyes and jumped down to join them

when i got down the man gave me a weird look, like he was judging me? i gave him a look back, although he looked older than me. he was short.
he was the same height as me, we helped each other up to the other side of the big, weird hole.

he glanced at us both and paused
"Bye." he walked away

"What- hold on!" mirabel said going after him, we followed him until we found a wall, he also threw salt and sugar at us on the way. with patchings on it
"Wait- have you've been in here patching the cracks?" mirabel asked looking at the patch marks

"Who.. are you?" i asked looking directly at him "Who are you?" he replied "And those things i am way too scared to go near them, all the patching is done by Hernando" he added "Who is Hernando-"
"Im Hernando and im scared of nothing!" he proudly said with his hood covering his eyes

i looked at him in confusion "Y/n L/n" i introduced myself who the hell was he?? i thought to myself
"Its,. actually me" he laughed "I used to say my real gift was 'acting' " he joked
me and mirabel glanced at each other "Im jore, i make the spackle" he said, with a bucket over his head "How long have you've been, back here?" mirabel questioned

"Eh, about 10 years, Also! y/n names bruno must have heard alot about me after that dinner" he chuckled awkwardly

well, atleast i know who he is now

we got to his 'room' lets call it, there was rats. and alot of them
"Whats with all the rats?" i asked

"Oh" he chuckled "well, i needed some company and where can you go wrong with rats! ay?" he smiled holding up a rat so this is the oh so horrible guy who made bad things happen from prophecys? huh. i thought to myself
"You never left." mirabel said looking around

"Well- i- i left my tower, you know was alot of stairs and uh here! kitchen adjacent" he said grabbing on of juilitas arepas "Oh oh! plus free entertainment" he said grabbing two of the many rats he had "So what do you- what you like? sports? game shows! telenovelas" he said with a cardboard piece of each he said, falling

"I dont understand" mirabel said
"Oh well- shes a zombie and she has ameniza and she cant remember shes a zombie you see wh- its a very forbidden kinda-" bruno started explaining "i dont understand why you left but didnt, leave" mirabel said to bruno "oh well, the moutains around encanto are pretty tall" he laughed "and you know, free food any everything" grabbing the arepa he took from his sister "you guys love the free food dont you?" he said grabbing the rats

i went over to the table, i saw a drawn plate with brunos name on it and hour glass design this was his plate? the towns people already desgined me a plate at the madrigals
