I Was Never Yours To Begin With

chapter 3

/Santiago strolled around the island for a bit, lost in thought.. "why would Mami invite the bad piratas..". He continued to walk until he ran into Tomas and Lorelai./

"Primo!"

"Buenos días, Capitan. A little late, aren't we?" Lorelai said with a chuckle

Santiago let out a soft chuckle as well. "Yeah.. I fell asleep late last night."

"Mmmmhm, okay." Tomas said, rolling his eyes. "Now didn't you say to Tía that you were gonna help Abuelo decorate around the village?"

"Yeah. About that.. I don't know where papi is."

"Huh, me neither."

"Jumping jellyfish! You scared me there for a second Cecelia." Lorelai said with a smile, picking up Cecelia from the ground.

(Oh, and Cecelia is her cute little pet octopus, by the way.)

Tomas and Santiago look at lorelai. Tomas' eyebrows raised while Santiago's brows were furrowed.

Then a sudden realization hit.

"Cecelia!" Tomas said, picking her from Lorelai's hands. "How have you been?"

Cecelia giggled. Her cute voice was so captivating. And not to mention her big eyes, they're really adorable.

Santiago crossed his arms with a smile, looking at the both of them. He reached out to his pocket and took out his watch.

Realizing the time, 11:02 already, he thought to himself "huh.. did I really wander around for that long? I really need to find papi and help with the decorations already. I might just be late for patrolling too."

"Amigos! I need to go find papi. I'll see you two around."

Tomas and Lorelai nodded. "Alrighty then! We'll head on over to Capitan Josefina's office and get assigned."

Santiago nodded.

"Okay. I'll go find and help Abuelo."

/Santiago ran off to find Abuelo. He looked around for a few minutes before heading to the town square. There, he saw his Abuelo and came by to help him./

"Abuelo! ¿Cómo estás? ¿necesitas alguna ayuda?"

"No, gracias santi. ¿Por qué no vas a patrullar?"

"Si, Abuelo. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"Yes, Mijo." Abuelo nods with a smile. He was carrying some boxes filled with garlands and other decor.

"Alright then.. I'll head on over patrolling I guess."

Abuelo nods and picks up some other boxes. Santiago walks over and helps him with a few of the boxes before heading over to El Bravo.

Santiago sighs and leaves. He walks to El Bravo and hops on.

~ with Enrique ~

"Que?! A pirate protector party?" He says, raising an eyebrow as he reads the invitation.

"EUGH."

"Why the hell would they even invite me."

"So..."

Enrique heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw escarlata riding the water throne thingy she always does when above the water.

"Que?!"
He jumped.

Escarlatta rolled her eyes.
"Geez, calm down, darling."

"Don't tell me to calm down."
He growled. He seems pissed.

"I'm guessing you got the invitation as well?"
She says with a smirk, checking her nails out.

"Si.. you got the letter too?"

Escarlatta looked at him and nodded. She faces him and crosses her arms.
"Are you going..?"

"I don't know.. yes? I guess. I mean, I have nothing to do here."

"Hm. I guess I'll come with. Let's meet up here before we head over to Larimar or whatever that village is named."

Enrique simply nodded.
He smirked, thinking of ideas. Not so good ideas..
"I might just be able to get a hold of their treasure.."

Escarlata's eyes widened.
"The crown.. I want it."
She smirked.

"Fine. You can have the crown. But I want the staff.."

"Why on earth would you want a staff?"

"Oh.."
He chuckled. His voice was deep and menacing.
"Escarlata, darling. That staff.. can controll the life on isla encanto. Without the staff.."

"All life on isla encanto will slowly die.."

Enrique smirks.
"And why the hell would you want that stupid crown annyways?"

"Well, darling.. it does something similar to the staff."

Enrique raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms.
"I'm listening.."

"What can control the waters. The oceans. And with that crown, I'll be queen of the seven seas!"
Escarlata laughs. Her voice menacing and evil.

Enritque smirked, nodding.

~ with Bonnie ~

Bonnie was breathing heavily. She was looking at herself in a mirror she was holding.

The trauma.. the trauma of her bullies when she was a child still stuck with her.

"Why are your eyes that color.. seriously, they look ugly."

*Laughing*

She was insecure of herself.

"Don't be dramatic.. it's only some plastic.. no one will love you if you're unnatractive.."
She said to herself, mimicinh the things her bullies said to her.

She was judging herself. From her eyes and eye color to her hair color. To be honest, it was pretty painful.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked down whule still holding the mirror.

She yelled and threw the mirror across the room, breaking it. The glass shattered around and some accidentally cut her. She didn't care though.

Bonnie leaned on a wall, her breathing was ragged and rough. She sat down on the floor, hugging her knees.

She cried until she fell asleep.
