"Sí. And there are people coming through the mountain."
"I want to go this time," Mirabel said.
"Fine, come with me," Isabela said and they ran off.
Catherine was concerned. More people? Seigo's friends had yet to cause problems in the Encanto but they were all prepared for it. So who was coming now? Who was next?
Julieta and Agustín joined Catherine and the three watched Dolores as she listened.
Isabela and Mirabel approached the mountain as a woman stumbled over.
"Are you okay, Señora?" a young male voice asked.
"Sí. Sí... are we sure Señorita Catherine said through the crack?" the woman asked.
"Sí. Trust me. I'm as excited to get there as you."
"They know me?" Catherine asked back at Casita. "Dolores, remember how you were also wanting to make us hear what you hear? Try it now."
Dolores nodded and held her hands out to her tías.
Back at the mountain, Isabela acted. These people knew Tía Catherine!
"Who are you?" Isabela yelled, standing in the middle of the crack.
"Isa!" Mirabel hissed.
There were two men and one woman. The younger man, the youngest of the three, was bent over the older woman's ankle. The older man had been watching. But all three turned to Isabela in shock when she spoke.
The older man pulled out a gun, aiming. Isabela used her gift to tear it from his hand and hold both men to the walls.
"Wait!" the youngest of the men yelled. "You're a Madrigal," he said. "We're friendly-"
"The gun says otherwise," Isabela said.
"Ay, Dios Mio! Isabela let them go!" Mirabel gasped. Her eyes were on the youngest boy.
The dark skin, dark eyes, and thick wavy hair pulled back. It was the boy from Bruno's Cali vision.
Cami smiled at Mirabel.
"Mirabel, the only Prima with glasses."
Isabela tightened her hold on the men. The woman went pale. Vines slid around their necks.
"Isa, enough," Mirabel said.
"How do you know mi familia?" Isabela asked again.
"Camilo, Catherine and Bruno, stayed with me while they were in Cali," Cami struggled to answer. "I helped them get Catherine's belongings from Señor Ralph."
"Let them go, Isa!" Mirabel yelled again.
"And the other two?" Isa asked.
"Mi hermano, and Señora Alma," Cami answered.
"I worked for Señor Ralph. I know Señorita Catherine personally. Please, let them go?" Alma pleaded.
"Isa. We can trust them," Mirabel said. "Tío Bruno didn't have a vision."
With a sigh, Isabela let the men go.
"Follow us," Isabela said through her teeth.
"Your primo wasn't kidding about your gifts," Cami said catching up to the Madrigals. Leaving his hermano behind to help Alma stand. "They're intense."
Isabela said nothing but ground her teeth.
"What else did Camilo tell you?" Mirabel asked.
"That you have a song to help people remember your familia's gifts," Cami answered. "Can I finally hear it?"
