"AMARILLO" (A Camilo Madrigal Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: The Girl In The Woods

It was another fine day in Encanto. The sun was smiling down on everyone, and the morning breeze was refreshing. In the field, Pepa was doing her job as usual in the fields with her husband, Felix. She was feeling happy and relaxed with her son, who was laying on her lap. She had her eyes closed, taking deep breaths and enjoying the breeze while caressing her son's beautiful brown curls. She was humming a sweet melody.

Camilo was closing his eyes, listening to his mother's hums when he suddenly remembered what happened last night. He opened his eyes and looked up at his mother. "Mami, about yesterday..."

Pepa opened her eyes and looked at her son. In a calm voice, she responds, "Mi amor, I told you. All is forgiven, and you must promise me to never wander off in the woods at night again. "

Camilo sits up and faces his mother. He crossed his legs and placed his hands on the ground to support his posture. "But ma, don't you think it's a bit weird that a little girl is also wandering around the woods at night?"

Pepa was baffled. Her whole expression changed. She looked worried as she faced her son. She doesn't know what to say. Something was on the tip of her tongue. There is something familiar about the whole concept of a little girl wandering in the woods alone. Her son was confused about the way she reacted. Camilo raises one eyebrow as he looks at his mother staring into nothingness. She was trying to remember what seemed to be so familiar with that idea. Clouds started to appear over her head, and the sky grew darker. Leaves also started to gust with the wind, hitting Camilo's chubby little cheeks.

"Mami, are you okay?" Camilo gently touches his mother's arm in an attempt to calm her after noticing her sudden changes in expression and mood.

The wind stopped howling and the clouds disappeared above her as soon as she looked at her son's gorgeous hazel eyes with green flecks. She sighed, and she calmed down. She closed her eyes for a bit and looked at her son once again.

"Well, why don't you go to the village and find this little girl?"

She puts her arms around him and added, "If you find her, then maybe she's real, and you could just ask her why she was there in the woods at night."

She sighed again and looked at the woods in the distance. "If you can't find her, then maybe she was just a part of your imagination." You did mention last night that she disappeared within a few seconds. "

Camilo looked in the direction where his mother was looking. He made a decision to find this mysterious girl.

He was dragging Mirabel along with him to find her. Mirabel was irritated because she was interrupted from having her little tea party with Casita. "What could be so important that you interrupted me from a very important tea party?"

Camilo continued to walk faster as he answered her, "I told you, I have to find that girl from last night."

Mirabel was frustrated after hearing the same thing over and over again from Camilo since last night. "Again? We never saw anyone else in the woods last night. You said she had a lantern, but how come we never saw any light illuminating from a distance in the woods, huh?"

Camilo was annoyed by all of Mirabel's complaints. "Oh stop complaining! Just help me, alright? Geez! Is that so much to ask? "

Mirabel sighed and dramatically threw her arms around, "Ughhhh! Fine! What does she look like? "

Camilo stopped in his tracks and thought for a moment. "Hmm... I couldn't really describe her properly since it was a bit too dark to see even with a lantern. But I can definitely remember that she's got thick, long, wavy black hair and a missing tooth. "
