Isabella rolled her dark eyes, she had a surprise this morning when, despite all that happened abuela insisted for her to go on a date with Mariano, her boyfriend, and, as abuela hoped future husband. She lacked the enthusiasm to neet the baby man again, to wasn't that Mariano was bad... No, he was a good man, thats why she was with him in the first place, a man who loved her, wanted to make her happy  and who wished to make his mother proud. But the whole 5 babies thing, Isabella didn't know if she was up to that.

And Mariano's invitation was, peculiar?  He sent her a love letter telling her to meet him on the outskirts of town, in the flower field for a surprise picnic. Shouldn't they stay in Encanto for their safety? He was such a momma's boy, kinda like Camilio. Always after his mommy's skirt and so mushy! Why couldn't she have a boyfriend like Luisa had? Mateo respected her strength and let her be, he took care of Luisa without robbing from her any of her glory. Isabella was so jealous!

      And speaking of Mariano where was he? It's been a few hundred minutes since she arrived and no sign of him. Was he ok? What if the murderer got him!? A hundred terrifying troughs swallow her mind. Sure, she didn't like him that much, but she didn't want him to die! Lady Guzman would be destroyed!

" Mariano!" she called getting deeper into the forest, lifting herself on her vines she watched the view from above the trees, nothing but the peaks of Encanto and a few birds. At last, she was safe, right? She floated a few minutes above the ground until she noticed Mariano's muscular build limping on one leg.

She was too far to see what he was running from, or where he was injured but saw him heading to the caves near the mountain. He could hide there until she gets help, but what if she's too late with help? What if until she gathers the searching party poor Mariano perishes? No, she has to help him! She can do this, she's a Madrigal! She lowered herself at the entrance to the cave, blocking it with her plant roots and frightening step inside.

" Mariano? Mariano are you here? It's alright, it's me, Isabella Madrigal. " she called for him," I know your hurt, I am going to help you. I closed the entrance to the cave, no one can harm us now. Please get out of hiding." she shouted worriedly squeezing her eyes to adjust to the darkness of the cave. Her heart skip a beat when she heard sounds behind her and she almost swallowed her tongue when a hand touched her shoulder.

" Isabella!"

" Ah! Oh, Camilo, it's just you!" She sighs with ease covering her heart with he palm. " Why are you -"

" We don't have time!" he cut her off" Mariano felt into a pit in the cave, we need you to lift him up with your vibes!"

" Right!" she strengthens her gaze running after her cousin. Arriving deeper into the cave, the only light being the candle that Camilo held into his hand,  they meet with a dark trench too dark to even see Mariano. And she heard nothing, if Mariano was still alive when Camilo "miraculously " passed by where was he now?

" Eh, primo?"

" Yes, Isabella?"

" There are no vines on the rocks fit me to grow and I don't hear Mariano at all."

"Right, I know that," he smiled," well, your dumb truck of a momma's boy is back home holding into his momma's dress. And you're here because there's no earth or plants for you  to defend yourself, prima. "
