Peculiar; C. Madrigal

five;

-Nuisance but in a good way?-

Isabella was more than happy to introduce the girl to her Abuela but before she could open the door, she was quickly snatched by little kids and even teenagers (Y/N)'s age. With a quick 'see you dinner' she disappeared from a distance.

It left (Y/N) alone again.
There he was, following with a sly smirk "oh, we need to stop bumping into each other" The Mistress huffed and walked passed him.

It was like the world wanted her to suffer even more, the world wanted to torture her by letting them meet again even though she prefered to be left alone.

"I beg to differ-" Frantically, Camilo backed up and held out a hand to the girl with a slight mumble of 'wait' The girl stopped and stomped her foot and quickly clenched her fists.

"Look-I do not want your company! It's a complete nuisance" (Y/N) spat which made Camilo frown, Camilo have been living in Encanto, it was rare to find someone to meet; he practically knew everyone in town but meeting the Mistress? I-It sparked a new interest in him which made his tummy turn and it made his cheeks warm, a fuzzy feeling in his heart which he practically begged to feel more of this new spark.

Leaving him with his own thoughts, The girl slipped pass him and walked around town.
A few minutes of walking around trying to find the right path back.

"Hey-" A girl called from a distance, (Y/N) doubt it was for her so she ignored it and kept her gaze somewhere else trying to find her way back to the Guzman's residence.

"Heyyy~" A girl with green glasses and curly hair appeared in front of the Mistress, (Y/N) gasped and looked down to which the girl stood up and was now standing in front of the girl.

"You must be new, I'm Mirabel Madrigal and you just met my cousin-" (Y/N) looked at the girl with an eyebrow raised, she wanted to go home, she was feeling weak and tired. After her parents perished, she felt tired and weak, she never does. Agatha made sure of it, The Mistress followed the schedule yet it made her tired.

Back at the mansion, walking was a breeze to do for (Y/N) but after the misfortune, she felt her legs would give out any second.
"You also met my sister" Mirabel blurted, she rolled her eyes and smirked before sassily resting her hands on waist "I can show you around town or maybe talk?" (Y/N) didn't mind talking to someone, at least, if she did less of the talking.

"my legs are tired" Replied the Mistress. Mirabel looked at her legs and nodded before guiding her to a bench next to a small house which had flower vines crawling on the wall.
It was peaceful.

The girls sat down on the bench while Mirabel babbled about how her family has quirks called gifts.

Mirabel seems happy talking about her family, her eyes were round and her lashes were long, her eyes blinked once in a while and she would tuck a small strand of hair whenever it'd fall out behind her ear.

Mirabel talked about her Abuela,
Her Tia Pepa,
Her Papa Agustin,
Her Tio Felix,
Her Mama Julietta,
Her sister Isabella,
Her other sister Luisa,
Her Prima Dolores,
Her Primo Antonio,
And her other Primo Camilo.

For some reason, she talked all kinds of interesting things about Camilo and was bragging about him for 10 minutes.

"He jumps and runs around with children chasing him" Mirabel spoke, waving her left hand and the other was rested on the bench next to (Y/N) "why would he want to jump and run around? doesn't it get tiring?" questioned the Mistress, Mirabel looked at her with wide eyes, she thought she wasn't listening the entire ramble and thought it was cute for a person like her, it was a good change of pace for the Mistress.

"w-well, it's fun! don't you do that?" Mirabel raised and eyebrow, getting all cocky. (Y/N) looked down and shook her head with a small frown "I'm too weak to run" Mirabel looked at her and rested her hands on her lap, she looked at her hands with furrowed eyebrows and pouted lips.

"what does it feel like?" Mirabel looked up and found (Y/N)'s eyes staring at her, eager to know what it felt like "It takes your breath away, literally" Mirabel laughed and shrugged "It makes your legs weak and your heart pound," (Y/N) stared at Mirabel with her full attention, Mirabel was describing what running feels like but at the same time, it was like she was describing something else.

"i-it's tiring but it's fun" (Y/N) considered running and jumping around "does it have any benefit?" questioned the Mistress, tilting her head to imagine herself running around.

"My mama said it's exercise and makes you stronger" (Y/N) doesn't understand why people want to live so much rather than dying and ending the pain they're currently feeling "what's the point of getting stronger when we're bound to pass away?" Mirabel flinched and looked at the ground, she had no idea what she was going to reply.

Quickly, she looked up and saw kids running around and laughing even adults were smiling and walking around "you don't have to think about death," The girl shook her head and felt angry "You don't understand, I am weak, I do not have time to run around. I am going to die soon" Mirabel shook her head and stood up before standing in front of the Mistress who's cheeks were red with anger.

"That's why you need to be strong, It's not about whether you'll live a hundred years or die the next day," (Y/N) was not following yet she was one step behind Mirabel "It's about making the most of what the miracle gives you. The flowers are blooming and the trees are evergreen, don't you want to cherish that?" Mirabel pouted and mentioned to the flowers and trees around them with so much contrast as if they're smiling brightly at them.

"what's the point of cherish?" (Y/N) rolled her eyes and stood up before walking away with Mirabel following her "At the end of your life, you don't want to regret all the things you didn't attempt to cherish or recognize, do you?" Mirabel explained, she was getting to the point of cherish "if you don't, it'll haunt you with guilt" (Y/N) looked down before tearing her gaze away from the cobblestone floor to the scenery ahead of her.

It was full of houses and flowers, behind it were full of mountains and hills, the sunset made it look pink and orange.
It was a nice view.

(Y/N)'s eyes widen with shock.
Was she been talking with Mirabel the whole day? it didn't made her feel tired at all, in fact, she felt like she wanted to learn more.
This time, she'd feel tired or even be in bed at this time but everything was changing.

"well?" Mirabel called.
The Mistress purshed her lips and turned around to face Mirabel, her cheeks were red and her heart was pounding.
It made her blood boil but it was entirely different from anger.

was the Mistress shy?

"I...I'll cherish this conversation..." Mirabel smiled brightly and jumped up and down "that's the spirit!" Mirabel looked at (Y/N) was staring at her with wide eyes, or rather, behind her.

"Camilo?!" Quickly, Mirabel whipped her head around and stared at another girl who looked exactly like her.

(Y/N)'s blood boil again and grabbed the girl's wrist to make her look at her "what did you say your gift was?" Mirabel stared at (Y/N)'s face with wide eyes.

Mirabel blinked and lazily opened her eyes before shaking her head which shifted back to Camilo's.
