a burning home ---- ---(TW: Self-harm, fire, talk of burnt skin)Camilo had read a few books, and he'd seen a few of the people his aunt doctored, he wasn't stupid he knew that he was depressed and he knew that self-harm wasn't the way to go about copying with that, but quite frankly he didn't care he did it anyway.He knew most people used blades but he found that there was something enchanting about using Fire, burning his own skin burning the mental pain away for the pain he could physically feel.Camilo had stolen an old lighter that used to be used to light their oven and often found himself wedged between one of the large pillars that were in his room, with a lighter held up to his torso as he watched his skin burn through one of the mirrors.Camilo had been rather careful when it came to his habit he burned in places people couldn't see hand held up his happy face no matter what, that was until he held the lighter on his torso for a little too long and passed out, the flame from the lighter still going as it hit the oak wood floor boards, effectively setting the ground on fire.Camilo slowly opened his eyes with a groan followed by a cough as he struggled to breathe, the air felt different.It took a moment for the shapeshifter to fully grasp reality again and he was in a nasty shock when he did, his bedroom was on fire, and his left arm was severely burned causing a different kind of pain than the kind he found comforting.With a pained whimper, Camilo sat himself up Screaming in pain his torso and left leg was just as burned as his arm,Camilo allowed another scream to escape his mouth before an all too familiar feeling of blurriness took over and he passed out once again.Felix and Isabela were in the living room with Mirabel, Antonio, and Bruno when the fire started, Felix was the first one to smell the smoke followed by Abuela and Pepa who ran into the living room to see what was going on.It wasn't long until the top floor of Casita was covered in smoke and everyone but Camilo was standing outside watching the top half of their home burn."Oh god, what are we supposed to do?" Pepa started freaking out causing a rain cloud to form over her head."Pepa please stop... wait yes keep that cloud going rain over the house!" Abuela exclaimed."Papì" Antonio mumbled pulling at the helm of Felix's shirt."Yes?"."Where's Camilo?"Antonio asked, causing everyone to look around, noticing that he wasn't with them."He was in his room when the fire started" Isabela yelled.Before anyone had time to think or plan Felix and Bruno ran into the burning house calling out Camilo's name."-amilo" Camilo heard a voice that sounded foggy and far away."Camilo!" That voice sounded louder, Camilo opened his eyes noticing that half of his room was on fire and the wall between Luisa and his room was burned down it appeared that her room was fully engulfed in flames, oh god what had he done?"Cami!" The voice once again rang out the voice Camilo recognised as his father.Camilo burnt, crying and in unimaginable pain managed to yell out to his dad "PaPi".With a blink of an eye, Camilo saw Felix literately run through fire, extinguishing his pants before picking his son up bridal style and jumping through the fire again, Bruno now extinguishing the fire that singed Felix's leg."We've got to get outta here the roofs going to collapse" Bruno noted, noticing just how burnt his nephew was Bruno helped Felix carry Camilo in a way that no one was making contact with his burnt skin.Pepa had no problem getting emotional enough to water down the house fire, in fact, she made it rain over the entire Encanto, her home was burning down in front of her as her son and husband were inside of it.The anticipation for Bruno, Felix, and hopefully Camilo's return stung more than the family losing their home.Luisa and Mirabel had started walking Antonio into the town not wanting him to have to watch what was going on in case someone got hurt or worst. Julieta, Abuela, and Agustin were stopping the people of the Encanto from going too close to the house saying that they was no need for concern and they had everything under control.Pepa, Dolores, and Isabela stood outside the house the way everyone had been before waiting and hoping for everyone to come out.Just as Abuela and Julieta were heading back to the home the roof of the building caved in and all hope for the three family members that were in the house's survival was lost.
