The Chameleon and his Butterfly

The next candlehoder

A year passed and everyone was happy well until one day when Abula felt ill. "Momma please tell me you can help her" Mirabel said "I'm sorry I can't the sickness has already spread through too much of her body" her mother told her "oh" was all Mirabel could say "Mirabel I need to speak with you alone" Abula said "of course Abula" Mirabel said and she walked into the old woman's room "Mirabel I don't have much time left and I think it's high time to know why you don't have a gift it took me ages to figure it out and when our home fell I realized why it's because you are the next candleholder of the family" she said "I am?" Mirabel said in a confused tone "yes you may go now I know it's a lot to process" she said "thank you" Mirabel said and she left the room. "Mira what's wrong?" Camilo asked her as they were trying to sleep in her room "Abula told me that I would be the next candleholder today after she passes" Mirabel told him "you are going to do great running this family" Camilo told her "thanks Cami" Mirabel said and she fell asleep. A month later Abula died and the entire town grieved for her. A couple of days after Abulas passing Casita went through a change and instead of Abulas face holding the candle it change to Mirabel and that's not all the family saw that it was a double door the other side showing Camilo's gift. As it was late the family went to bed and Camilo and Mirabel went into their room ready to take on their duties as the mariachis of the family.
