{{Quick note: the character "Celeste" and the character "Valentina" are OC's of C0l0urfu1, and do not belong to me, they simply let me use their OC's, And I thank them so much for giving me ideas of what to do throughout the stories when I had writers-block😭❤}}

"Who are you?" Camilo looked at the stranger. She looked like Valentina but slightly younger.

"I'm Celeste! And you're a madrigal, right? What are you doing outside so late?" She appeared friendly, maybe Camilo could trust her? Then again.. anyone he trusted seemed to just lie to him, first Mirabel, Dolores, then Lorenzo. The 3 people he thought he could rely on the most.

"Yes, I am a Madrigal, why do you ask?" Camilo looked at Celeste.

"Well, if you need a place to stay there is my house!" She'd offer.

"Uhh-" Camilo showed he was Uncomfortable with doing so so he back away slightly.

Before Camilo had any say in it, he was being dragged by the arm to the strangers house, he barely knew her.

"We're here!" She'd say dragging him into the house, Camilo noticing it was the same house he had been in before.

"I really think I should leave-" Camilo said trying to pull away and leave.

"Hey I have a question." Celeste would ask, dragging him into another room, which was empty, shutting the door behind her

Camilo showing concern quickly pulled his arm away and back away from her. "What is  it?"

"How do you.. get the gifts, exactly?" She'd ask.

"Well the kids in my family get a gift ceremony when they are at least 5, they get a door which gives them a gift." Camilo said.

"A door? Where?" Celeste asked.

"At the Casita? Isnt it obvious?" Camilo asked.

"Oh, yeah La Casa Madrigal, haha.. could you perhaps tell me how to get into the Casita?" Celeste said, giving Camilo a creepy feeling from her.

"I should go." Camilo wanted to leave so he quickly tried to open the door but felt someone tugging on his arm.

"Do you think it's possible for someone who isnt a madrigal, to get a gift?" Celeste asked.

"Yeah, of course, they just need a door-" he said before getting interrupted

"Great!" Celeste said happily, leaving the room and shutting the door behind her.

Camilo reached for the doorknob, but the door was locked, and then everything she had asked made sense, she questions she asked.
"Is it possible for  someone who isnt a Madrigal to get a gift"
"How do you get a gift"
"Where are the doors"
It made sense, she was trying to get a gift, But why?

{{With Lorenzo and Valentina outside}}

"Where did he go?!" Lorenzo said, frustrated that he couldnt find Camilo, it was still dark outside

Valentina stood next to Lorenzo "Maybe he went back to the Casita?"

"No, he wouldnt go back to the Casita, after everything that happened." 
Lorenzo placed back and forth, stressing out over everything that's happened that night, and mostly stressing about where his litte brother had disappeared to.

"Its alright, we will find him soon!" Valentina reassured Lorenzo.

"What if we dont?! What if he disappeared like... Bruno did?!" Lorenzo yelled frustrated, no knowing about the situation with bruno.
