the scar of the Madrigal

chapter 36

After church

*After 3 hours of misery for Mirabel where her only comfort was petting Gabriela's fur Mirabel finally saw those pearly gates*

Swanson:that will be all for today may you all have a blessed week

*Slowly the crowd left leaving only the madrigal sisters and the Marston family with reverend Swanson*

Swanson:alright Isabela come to my office so we can talk in private

Isabela:ok let's go Mirabel

*Isabela tried to grab Mirabel's hand but Mirabel dodged it flicking isabela's forehead*

Mirabel:nope, not this time. I've already had my mind opened by Swanson your the one that needs this not me I've got things to do

Isabela:w...well I can do them with you and we can...

*Mirabel gave a look that only a mother could give so Abigail was proud of her. Isabela squirmed in her gave as she followed reverend Swanson to his office, Mirabel took a huge breath of relief, turned around and walked away with the Marston family and Gabriela following slowly behind them*

Mirabel:god that was torture

*Gabriela yawned giving out a whine as she yawned, she lied down on the soft church red carpet*

Mirabel:see Gaby agrees with me

Abigail: honestly does it kill you to just listen do...

Mirabel:yes, completely, absolutely, without a doubt

*Mirabel said interrupting Abigail who was getting red with anger, Mirabel helped Gabriela on the wagon and grabbed hold of the poles*

Mirabel:now if you'll excuse me i need to take Gabriela do the vet

*John walked up to Mirabel and inspected Gabriela up and down*

John: something wrong with the wolf?

Mirabel:yeah she lost her appetite over the last month I think she might have a bug in her stomach

*John hummed petting Gabriela's head being just about the only canine he actually likes*

John:want some company? While there?

Mirabel:we both know Charles sees me as a little sister he'll probably be close around if I need any help but thanks anyhow

*John nodded in understanding and Abigail walked up to the two scared people in her life*

Abigail; alrighty then you know where we live if you need anything you know how jack loves it when you come around

Mirabel:no I think he loves it that I'm always fighting you since you don't have me whipped like your husband here. Not that I think about it are you sure those scars are from wolves and not from your wife using her whip?

*Abigail snorted putting her hand over mouth as john playfully pushed Mirabel's head*

John;very funny you little shit

Mirabel:oh dear cursing when your still in the stairs of gods house? Tsk tsk tsk that's gonna cost you when you go home

*Mirabel left with a smirk as she heard John groaning to Abigail's complaints, Mirabel heard Gabriela whining behind her and she looked at her with a small smile*

Mirabel:I know you hate the vet but it's necessary, he'll just give you a few shots and you'll be as good as rain you'll see

*Gabriela huffed resting her head in her paws looking at another direction her eyes semi opened as she yawned while Mirabel kept walking*
