Chameleon

Chapter 5: magic 🌼

 After the party I walked home happily skipping I unlocked the door to my house and it was empty. "Mom, Nana!?" I shouted. I walked into the living room and my dad was there and so was senora Alma. "Pa?"

"Where were you little lady?" He walked towards me ignoring the guests

"I was going on a stroll" I came up with an excuse. "In your grandmother's dress?"he asked.

"I barely go anywhere so I wanted to look nice" i sheepishly smiled. "Hello y/n" Alma said. "Hola senora" I greeted. My mom and nana looked sad. My dad looked thrilled with excitement.

"Not to be rude but, may I ask, why are you here?" I said as nicely as possible. "I came to deliver some news" I nodded.

"About?" I said expecting her to finish my sentence. " your wedding" she simply said. "What!?" I looked at my dad. He had on a sly grin. "With who?" I said starting to loose my temper. "My eldest grandson, I see you two have some chemistry"

"Camilo? Oh heck no" I said. My dad elbowed me and my mom sighed. "Pa, did you agree to this?"

"Yup" he smiled. "Mami?"

"I am here to obey" she simply said as her and nana walked away. I followed them. "Why did you guys agree." I whisper shouted.

"Your dad has some amazing plan to get the magic back" nana rolled her eyes. "Why does he car about the Danm magic so much.?"

"He believes his father wouldn't have left if the madrigals didn't quote on quote "steal it"" she simply said. "How is taking my love life away from me go8ng to help him take his magic back"

I sighed angrily. Shit! This is what Dolores was talking about. She knew about this all along. "Could've given me a heads up dol" I mumbled into the air. Did rumors already spread? Is that why Pepa told me congratulations. 

No no no! 

"I don't know but he won't tell us because of your little super hearing friend" mami scoffed. "Danm just write on a piece of paper" I walked away and slammed my bedroom door.

I sobbed my heart out. Just like that my freedom is gone. No more sneaking out to go hook up with boys with my friends, no more "study sessions" wink wink. Just no more of my fun.

It has to be with that chameleon too.

Why me?I fell asleep for a couple hours then woke up again.ugh!

Knock knock

"Fuck off!" I yelled angrily,

"No cussing my house!" Pa yelled. Fuck him

"Well I won't be in your house in a couple of months" I fought back.

"Actually weeks" he opened my door. "Great!" I sarcastically smiled for him. "Honey don't worry, you will get the magic back, you divorce the boy and we leave this town" he rubbed my back. I took his ugly old grimy hands off of me.

"What do you mean me?"

"You are the one getting married" I rolled my eyes " you will just be on the inside, after a couple of months get the family to be in love with you then, you steal the candle, give it to me and we leave encanto." He paused and looked down.

"Then we can go find my papa" he mumbled.

"Dolores can hear you idiot" I looked away. "She is probably sleeping, it's 2 a.m, her bedroom is soundproof" he snickered.

"I hate you" I pushed him out. Nana hit his arm. "You have no idea what you are doing" she whispered loud enough for me to hear. 

"Mija, you know I would never let this happen if I had power"

"Don't worry about nana, it's pa's fault" a tear slid out of my eye.

It's always his fault...
