While Julieta was trying to figure out where Camilo could be, Bruno was busy comforting Pepa, Pepa was panicking, afraid of what could happen.
Mirabel and Mateo were telling eveyone happened while Antonio was told to go upstairs to his room so he didnt hear them discussing Camilo's disappearance.
"What were you even doing outside in the first place?! Camilo wouldn't have gone missing if you were actually helping the town instead of messing around and not doing your jobs!" Abuela yelled as if it was Camilo's fault for going missing in the first place.
Dolores had the idea to help look for Camilo, for some reason her gift was working normally but she just couldn't hear him, maybe she would if she got closer to where he was.
Dolores got out of her chair and walked outside.
Meanwhile, Camilo was trying to figure out where he was, or who the stranger was.
The stranger walked towards him and kneeled down in from of him, holding one of the knives from the table.
Camilo tried backing away but he couldn't, the stranger looked him directly in the eye, immediately scaring Camilo.
"I'm sorry if I scare you, hah.. listen, I need you to stay still, i'm trying to study the gifts, i might explain why later..so if you stay still this will hurt a lot less, I hope you understand." The stranger said.
Before Camilo could say anything or respond the stranger made another threat for Camilo not to yell or try to run.
A moment later the stranger untied Camilo's hands, rolling up Camilos sleeves and holding the knife closer to one of his arms.
In just a few seconds the knife started cutting Camilo's arm, deeper cuts than Camilo did to himself, these cuts hurt way worse than what he thought they would.
(Meanwhile with Pepa, Bruno, Dolores, and Julieta)
"Dolores?- Can you try to hear him?" Pepa asked, desperate to find Camilo.
"I'm sorry Mamá, I can't, I've already tried but somehow I can't hear him.." Dolores wispered in a quiet voice like she always did
"Oh god.. what if he got hurt?!" Pepa felt tears starting to fall down her face, Bruno quickly rushed over to Pepa and Dolores.
Bruno and Dolores had to help Pepa keep her balance to stop her from fainting.
Julieta walked back to Pepa with an upset look on her face. "Pepa, I'm sorry but it's already so late, we would have better chance of finding him tomorrow during the day."
"We cant do that! Julieta we can't! What if he get badly hurt like last time? Or worse?!" Pepa said while crying.
"I'm sorry, but it's already so late, we would never find him in the dark!" Julieta said.
"Fine, but you have to promise me, the moment the sky get any lighter we are going back outside to find him!" Pepa yelled.
"I promise okay? For now let's go back to the Casita." Julieta said calmly, she didn't wanna fight Pepa and make matters worse.
Dolores, Bruno, Pepa, and Julieta all walked back to the Casita to tell everyone that they'd continue searching tomorrow.
