Cursed Luisa AU

ive seen a lot of cursed mirabel, isa, Bruno, and dolores, thought it was Luisas turn

Alma could remember clear as day, the moment at the river, she could see the candle grow bright with power, she rememebred the voice in her mind echoing through her skull and reveberating down her spine, overwhelming her without a single noise, it didn't sound like anything, it sounded like everything and the words to describe it escaped her, the words it said deeply imprinted by the resounding silent voice

"we see your sacrifice and grant you this miracle, but be warned, if you forget our mercy you will recieve a punishment just as powerful and unthinkable as our gift, remember the sacrifice made today and never forget it"

as soon as the voice disappeared it was hard to belive it was there at all, nothing she could think of remotely resembled the power of the noise in her mind but the words stayed there, even to this day, even to the day her little nietas door dissolved in front of her, as she watched the faint glow dissipate white hot terror shot up her spine, this was the day the fates threat, or promise, came true.

Alma stood just as shocked as everyone else, staring at the door as her mind raced to find why this had happened, she remebered Pedros sacrifice and did her best to love and appreciate the gifts they were given, what had she done wrong, she was so caught up in her own thoughts she didn't notice when Mirabels lip wobbled and tears filled her eyes, but she was brought back to earth by a small hand clutching hers and a shaky voice talking to her

"abuela, w-why did it disappear? do I-.. w-where's my gift? what did I do wrong?" her voice sounded desperate for any reason, Alma looked down at her and felt an emotion, something resembling fear, how was it possible someone so small could bring destruction upon her family, she opened her mouth and gave an excuse before running to her room, what had she done wrong? More importantly, what would that child become?

10 years later

Luisa was in town still even though it was lunchtime, she hefted the heavy beams over her shoulder and thought about the talk she had with Mirabel, Mirabel told her it was okay to take breaks and could even be healthy, but she didn't need breaks, she was strong, she saw Mirabel heading back up to casita and thought about lunch, she was getting pretty hungry, her stomach had been feeling a little strange all day and thoughts of food filled her mind, arepas and empanadas paraded in her head and some more foods joined them, chorizo, chicharrons, tamales, meat

She stumbled as she was hit by a sudden headache and the last thought interuppted her other ones, taking over her mind for split second before disappearing with her headache, she had had migraines before but this wasnt quite like those, this had been so loud it actually made her stumble a like but, then it dissipated without a trace, she shook her head to clear it and continued carrying the lumber around while trying not to think about it, and back at casita, almost imperceptibly, her door flickered.

Mirabel marched up the path to casita, she knew Luisa intended on skipping lunch again so she was going up grab some for her and talk with abuela about lunch breaks, as she entered casita she saw her mama and abuela at the table and decided now was the perfect time to ask.

"Abuela you know how Luisa likes to skip lunch because she has chores"

"Yes, she's so hardworking and dedicated, I wish more of this family was like her"

Mirabel ignored the small dig and continued "well it's not very good for her, what if we started telling the villagers to not ask her for things around lunch, that way she is energized for the rest of the day"

"If she wanted a break she would take a break, she obviously doesn't need one because she never says no when they ask, you shouldn't try and make decisions for people Mirabel"
