Milagro: Wicked Beginning (An Encanto Fan Fiction)

Prologue

Ever since a miracle was bestowed upon Alma Madrigal, her children (triplets) - Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno Madrigal - were given, at the age of 5, their own gifts. Powers that would help their community in the Encanto. 

Everyday the four of them would walk around in the Encanto to be of assistance to everyone, to keep the miracle burning. The three of them dreams one day that their children, too, would walk around with them in the Encanto to help the people in their community. 

JULIETA MADRIGAL
This would be a beautiful dream. But this isn't a dream, it's reality. She loves helping the people. She loves healing each and everyone of them. A broken arm, bee stings, rashes, or even a wound, her famous cooking is the cure! 

Speaking of bee stings, Agustin appears for the second time of the day. "Agustin, you can always avoid bee stings by not being near any bees in the first place." she giggles. He laughs with embarrassment, "I know, I know. It's kinda like a part of me now." They both laughed as she hands him an arepa con queso. 

He takes a bite then immediately the bee stings vanish. "Not bad, as usual." He says.
"Easy for you to say!" she chuckles a bit, "five years of learning different recipes, got to have improvement!" They wave each other goodbye as he walks away while she continues handing out her arepas to those who need it. She'd visit each household when the sick needs her. 

"Julieta, do you believe in fate?" Bruno asks her as she prepares her things before waiting for Pepa and their mother. "At this point, Bruno, nothing is impossible." she answers. "Yes, I believe in fate." she continued. "Why'd you ask?" she asks him. "No apparent reason... Just a question from someone who sees what's ahead." Bruno chuckles. 

PEPA MADRIGAL
She can do it! She can control it! Just for that short minute. She was able to control a right amount of raincloud to water the farmers' fields. That was a good step for her. 

"Soon." she was determined. It wasn't a gift like Julieta who needs no controlling nor kind of like Bruno's that just happens. As happy as she felt, the clouds uncovered the sun, streaming it's light to the freshly-rained crops. A rainbow appeared right after. The people around her awed as they watch the sun brighten the surroundings and the rainbow giving color to the sky, just as bright and colorful as her smile. 

As Alma watches her, she points to the sky, signaling for Pepa to look up. As she looked up, her eyes started to water, it was tears of joy. The rainbow was beautiful. It's not like she sees this everyday. The rainbow remained but in the sky added was a few clouds that scattered throughout the town. It started to drizzle. Was it because of her tears? 

The people started to go back indoors. "Hija, maybe that's too much emotions to feel for today? Let's go home." Alma told Pepa. "But...Mama! Did you see the rainbow? How beautiful it was?" Pepa answered enthusiastically. "Si. I saw it." Pepa smiled as Alma puts her braids back. "Remember mi hija, a rainbow would always come after a rain." as she kisses Pepa on her forehead. They walked off to meet with Julieta and Bruno before they walk home.

BRUNO MADRIGAL
It hasn't always been easy for him. Visions would come and go. Visions that are not in his control. He has always been skeptical of his gift. Despite possessing such gift, he believes that it's not always as it seems. He believes that what he sees can still be changed.

"Bruno, what is it?" Julieta shows concern in her voice. "What what is?" Bruno said confused. Julieta points at the emerald slab Bruno is holding. "Oh!" He puts it in his bag. "Just another involuntary vision." he assures her.  

A man walks up to them, "Please, I'd like to know what happens to my daughter after a week from now." Julieta looks at him and smiles, giving him a go signal.

"Give me a moment, señor." Bruno told him. He motions for him to sit and to hold his hands.
His irises turns to an emerald color, bringing shivers to the man's spine. As he sees the vision, an emerald slab appears between them. After for a moment, Bruno lets go and hold onto the vision. "She's going to be okay." Bruno finally said. "She's just getting worse now, but with the way you're taking care of her, she'll most definitely be fine." he continued as he gives the man the vision. An image of a bright and healthy girl in a tight embrace from her father is seen on the slab. "Thank you... so much." The man says as he starts tearing up. "I needed this." 

Bruno insisted the man to keep the vision to which he accepted. He thanked him again before he walked off to his house in excitement. He can almost hear everything he said as he screams to his home "Amor! Do not worry! She'll be okay!" Bruno felt happy his day did not end with a bad vision... because it almost did.
