Worthless :A Encanto (Stranger Things AU)

3- It's starting

Pepa and Bruno were very busy lately. There was a weird mist around the town, and a few people had dissapeared.

I felt bad. As if I was coming down with something. I had nightmares and my nose bleed a lot. I only felt ok when I was with Agustín.

So that evening, I started getting ready for going to the cinema with him. I put on my favourite blue dress and white espardilles.

But, as I walked out of the door, I ran into my siblings and... Mama.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mama seemed angry.

"Um... To the cinema" I whispered

"So you think you're allowed to go out to have fun while your sibling have to work?"

"They don't work. It's me who does all of their plans" I said under my breath.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Mama yelled.

Next thing I knew, she had slapped me hard across my face. That was sure gonna leave a mark. I looked at my siblings. Bruno seemed kinda scared, and Pepa was about to say something, but Mama started scolding me.

"You think that just because you are a Madrigal you can do whatever you want, right?"

She was starting to annoy me. I don't know what was I thinking, but I answered.

"It's actually the other way round" I said 

"ARE YOU DISRESPECTING THE FAMILY?!?!?!" 

"I HATE THE FAMILY!!" I just had to say it.

Silence fell. Bruno and Pepa were dead quiet. If they were gonna fight for me before, they deffinetly weren't now. Mama was shacking, her face red. She clutched a candlestick as if she was gonna hit me with it. She probably was...

"Why can't you be more like your siblings?"

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm not señorita perfecta Pepa. And I'm sorry I'm not pretty and cool like Bruno. I'm sorry I'm stupid and worthless. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!!!" I was starting to cry.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that. I'm your mother!"

"A MOTHER DOESN'T TREAT HER CHILDREN LIKE RUBBISH!!" I was hardcore sobbing now.

"I'M A VERY GOOD MOTHER. AND I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOU TO BE BORN!!!!!"

There. She had admitted it. She admitted that she didn't want me. If I had ever felt a little love for her, it was all gone.

"I didn't ask to be born. In fact, I wish I was dead" I said coldly, lovelessly.

I went to my room. I needed to be alone.

I stayed there for two whole days, just going out to drink and pee at nightime.

I didn't eat or drink. I was getting thinner, but I didn't mind.

The third day, I heard knocking at my door.

"Go away" I said, my voice thin. My eyes were red from crying, and I was laying on the floor.

"Hey, hermanita" A gentle voice.

Next thing I knew, my siblings were cuddling me. But it didn't feel right.

"You're just doing this for compromise." I said sadly.

"What? No! You're our sister!" Bruno said.

"If I am your sister, then why didn't you say anything when Mama said those things?"

None of them spoke.

"See? I'm not your sister... You guys are the Fantastic Twins. And I'm not."

They leaved. I was perhaps a little harsh, but I didn't mind. Finally, I fell asleep from exhaustation.

"Hola"

I found myself in the spotlight, a hundred of voices talking to me, laughing at me.

"We're better without you" That was Pepa's voice.

"Happier without you" That was Bruno

"I wish you weren't my daughter. I wish you could die!" My mother sounded even more evil that in real life, if that was posible.

"I found another one. Someone prettier. Better. More perfect. No one will ever love you. You are completely worthless."

Agustín's voice hurt me more that the others. I begged for it to stop, shouted, but nothing worked.

I woke up lying in my bedroom floor, my face sticky from tears, and my nose covered in blood.

My siblings entered the room. They seemed sunken. There was another guy holding my sister's hand. Her boyfriend, I supposed.

"Julieta, we need your help"

"Oh, now you need my help" I was determined to stay on the floor forevermore.

"Juli, this is serious"

I raised my head when I head Agustín's voice. He seemed worried. He crouched next to me and hugged me.

"Fine... I'll help" I couldn't say no to him.

Quickly, they explained that they had been deaths. Two, to be exact. And that the person behind them seemed from another world.

All of the victims' bones were broken, they were blinded, and junked in different places. One in the forest, one at school.

"This is very serious" I wipped the blood from my nose. Agustín lended me a tissue. I smiled at him. "This is the beggining of something much worse that robberies or throwing trash in the ground. It's something bigger. And it's starting...
