*Mirabel was restless, she she agreed to stay with Isabela until she healed up but after checking the meats, watering her crops, maintaining her weapons and cleaning the house....twice she had nothing to do. So here she was sitting on the floor while Isabela was on the couch behind her braiding her hair*

Mirabel:it's not gonna come to life and bite you, you know

Isabela:what? What are you talking about

Mirabel:there's a mirror in front of me i can see you looking at my prosthetic at the table

*Isabela blushed in embarrassment as she coughed a bit*

Isabela: it's just....i guess I'm just not used to it, i mean no one in encanto ever....well you know

Mirabel:no i don't know

*Isabela gave a small glare at her sister who had a smirk on her face. Isabela's glare quickly turned in to a smirk as well as she pulled on mirabel's hair causing her to yelped*

Isabela:ops sorry

Mirabel:piss on your apology that was on purpose!

*Isabela giggled and Mirabel just huffed crossing her arms*

Isabela:sorry sorry but...i guess it's just still weird seeing you without that

Mirabel:well I'm not going hunting so why use it?

Isabela:but it's your arm

*Mirabel just clicked her tongue and looked at the thing, the living memory of what she lost because of that stupid candle*

Mirabel:no, it's my tool, it's something i use to hold my crossbow or shotgun steady as my real hand has its finger on the trigger, apart from that? Nothing more it is not a part of me it's just something to make my life easier

*Isabela nodded while at the back of the head she felt her sins crawling on her back as she felt guilty as if she was responsible for Mirabel's body being what it is. Mirabel coughed and kept the conversation going*

Mirabel:anyway...I'm not surprised no one is one handed or with only one leg with Mama's.... Mama's cooking mortality should be very low...

*Isabela face grew soft as she saw for a moment, for 5 seconds Mirabel showing weakness, sadness. Mirabel always dodges any conversation about there mother, and Isabela didn't want to upset her so she kept quiet...today was not one of those days*

Isabela:she....she never stopped missing you, you know...

*Isabela said softly, Mirabel didn't respond just looked out the window while she pulled her legs to her chest*

Mirabel:i....i missed her too...still do

*Mirabel whispered softly, Isabela gave a humm as a response and scooted closer to her putting her legs on mirabel's sides to feel her warmth and so Mirabel could feel hers*

Isabela:me too... Me too....

Meanwhile in encanto

*Julieta woke up  with a stretched as she sat on the bed, she looked around at the small room she shared with her daughter, she looked down at her bandaged hand, frowning remembering that day again*

Flashback

In Casita

*We see everyone with a nervous expression, as Julieta was late to make breakfast, not only Julieta, Luisa wasn't at the table and alma was not happy, no her face was tight and frowning, Bruno felt his mouth suddenly feel dry when alma looked at him and his wife*

Alma:Bruno stop tapping your fingers on the table

Bruno:s.. si mama

*Instinctively bruno grabbed Diana's hand to keep her from saying something that would defy Alma's word, he went in for a kiss on her cheek and whispered it softly in to her ear*

Bruno:she's already on edge for not finding Isabela don't make it worse...

*Bruno whispered then glanced at Dolores who nodded at Diana, agreeing with her uncle. Diana just sighed and kept drinking her coffee*

Alma:Agustín I've had just about enough wake my daughter up already, and Luisa that girl has chores to do

Agustin:si alma

*Agustin said quickly getting up and going up the stairs almost stumbling on his own feet. Agustin took a deep breath before opening the door*

Agustin:Julieta it's time to wake up the family is waiting downstairs

*Agustin saw that Julieta wasn't on her bed, he also glanced at the table and all her stuff are gone, his heart was starting to race as he walked fast to Luisa's room almost slamming the door open seeing nothing of her daughter's there. Agustin ran downstairs the commotion made everyone on the table to look at him*

Agustín:d...Dolores where are they? They're not in there room!

*Agustin said, fear evident in his voice, the eyes went from Agustin to Dolores who had her eyes closed listening for her cousin and aunty*

Dolores:there....at the Castro's Luisa is having breakfast while Julieta is.....

Alma:is what?

*Dolores gulped as she paled a little, she started playing her her hair nervous at how alma would react, she looked at her abuela and took a deep breath*

Dolores: she's thanking Lucia Castro for letting her stay with there family until she finds her own place. By the context.....Julieta left Casita and took Luisa with her

*Dolores quickly looked down nervous as the room remained silent you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. No one made a sound until alma destroyed the silence by the sound of her chair, she got up and started walking away everyone knew where she was going and like the good dog he is Agustin followed. Felix got up and looked at his side of the family*

Felix:how about we go out to eat today?

Pepa:yes...yes let's go

*Pepa said numbly her brain still processing what Dolores just said, what her sister did, doing the dream she always wanted to do but was to cowardly to do it, she got up grabbing Antonio's hand before they walked away leaving Diana and Bruno*

Diana:Bruno...

Bruno:no, no i didn't know this would happen

*Bruno said without thinking his brain just at autopilot, Diana looked at him as if he grew a second head*

Diana:i was gonna ask what you wanted for breakfast

*Bruno shook his head and looked at her with an awkward smile making Diana giggle and give him a peck on the lips, Diana got up and went to the kitchen*

Diana:just give me 15 minutes amor

*Once diana disappeared, the smile on Bruno left with her as he covered his face with his hands breathing heavily*

Voices"you did this" "bad luck Bruno strikes again" "your destroying the family"

Mirabel"you don't deserve Diana"

*That last one hit Bruno hard as he let a small whimper escape his lips and some tears to leave his eyes*

Bruno"I've been bad luck Bruno since i got this gift, I've earned! Diana's love, Julieta and Pepa got there happily ever after, why can't I?"

Mirabel: because they didn't kill a child to get there happiness

*Bruno jumped from his seat as he felt arms on his shoulders and Mirabel's breath on his ear, the chair fell on the ground while Bruno looked around finding no one, taking a few calming breaths he grabbed the chair and sat back down*

With Julieta

*Julieta gave an angry sigh as she saw alma and Agustin at the distance*

Julieta:why am I not surprised you told them ratona?

*Julieta said with venom, she knew Dolores heard her wherever she is but Julieta didn't care ever since Mirabel passed Dolores became alma's personal snitch. Julieta got up with her arm crossed as alma crossed the fence*

Julieta:you know this is private property right?

Alma:what do you think your doing?

Julieta:what i should've done after mirabel died, i took my child and left, i lost mirabel because of that candle and i lost Isabela because of you two! I'll be damn if i let you hurt Luisa she's all i have left

*Julieta said coldly but her eyes shined like a fire. Alma looked at Julieta furious of such an accusation*

Alma:how dare you!! I loved Isabela i would never hurt her!! How dare you imply that I'm responsible for such a thing?!

Julieta:oh i don't have to imply anything read for yourself puta!

*Alma gasped that her own child insulted her, Julieta pushed the letter at alma's chest she took it and read it along with Agustin. Agustin was horrified as he read itz he felt disgusted, he felt guilty, he for all else felt shame. Alma scoffed rippind the paper in to pieces*

Alma:you think I'm gonna believe this?! This is obviously your handwri...

*Alma fell to the floor blood coming down from her nose, it took her a minute but her mind finally caught up to her, Julieta punched Her, she broke her nose, she was bleeding and Julieta punched her. Julieta looked at her mother furious with tears falling from her face*

Julieta:how dare you!! That was the last letter i had from Isabela and you destroyed it!! Get out!! BOTH OF YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND NEVER RETURN OR I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!!!

*Agustin going on autopilot he went to help alma up and take her away from the place, he looked back at his wife and all his saw was hatred*

Present

*Agustin was still trying to earn his forgiveness, to earn the chance to see his daughter again but both Luisa and Julieta wanted nothing to do with him, Julieta got out of bed not forgetting to kiss her daughter's forehead before she went down to start the day*
