Gifted and cursed (Camilo x reader)

"I know"

Y/n kept sobbing and her tears stained splashes of water all over her face.

So that's my gift...
Dad was right. I should stay away from Camilo. I'd be just putting him in danger right on the spot. He's such a nice boy and doesn't deserve the pain I'd bring him if I'd accidentally lose control of myself...

I won't go out of this house ever again. Camilo's a good teacher and I'm sure he'll be able to look after those poor children.
I should go out and buy more medicine with all of income, along with some food for dad. He was just trying to protect me and I almost injured him.
Tomorrow I'll go to the market one more time and I'll disguise myself with my hooded poncho.

All of those moments though... when Camilo called me his princesa...when he carried me on his gentle arms... when he gave me his ruana...

Oh right, I have to bring it back to him...
I'll leave it at his front door first thing in the morning, before everyone will wake up.
I genuinely wanted to meet all of the Madrigals...
I wanted to meet the animal kid, the tía that's amazing at baking arepas, tío Felix, Tío Augustín, Mirabel, Isabela, Luisa, Pepa, Abuela Alma and Dolores.
I wish he had explained all of their gifts... they all sounded so cool compared to my stupid curse...

She later on fell asleep, holding tight the yellow ruana, not wanting to let it go, that was the last time that she could smell that touching smell, that wet, yellow ruana. The ruana that resembles Camilo's mystery and his sense of humour. The object that could let her visualise Camilo hugging her one last time.

(The next morning)

Beep beep, beep beep

Y/n set off the timer, she stood up, and with red eyes she grabbed a long, hooded vest/poncho and looked at herself in the mirror.

She then took off the hood squinted her eyes in disgust.

Why did he even hang out with such a disgustingly horrible creature like me...

Without hesitation she grabbed her bag with her wallet and Camilo's ruana and headed out of her house.

She quickly ran towards the casa Madrigal. Once Casita noticed her arrival, he/she started shaking the flower pots in fear of danger, but then someone told casita to stop.

It was a girl with a small, tanned face and red apple juice lips. Her hair was all gathered up in a bun with the help of her red headband.

"Camilo the other day let me borrow his Ruana, I suppose you live in this house so...would you please mind giving it to him?"
Y/n shakily asked.

Dolores just grabbed y/n's room and brought her upstairs.

"Hey where are you bringing me?"

She brought her upstairs to her room.

It was an amazing landscape full of trees, grass, and a stunningly beautiful lake. Somehow, there were no sounds. The wind calmly brushed Y/n's hair, but even then, there wasn't the bristle sound she expected.

"I'm Dolores Madrigal, I'm the older sister of Camilo. I know in what situation you are. I always hear everything and my family made me swore to not tell anyone about anyone's secret, even though it seems most of the times impossible. I can't believe the girl my little brother always talks about has felt so... lost...
Please. You can talk to me as if I were Camilo. You have a curse right?" She calmly asked, while placing her hands on mine.

"YOU CAN HEAR EVERYTHING? SORRY-"

Dolores just laughed and said:
"This is my room. Its sound proof. I can add my own sounds to everything in this room. Like the water. Can you hear it? Its actually the sound of breathing"

Y/n walked up to the lake, and crouched down. She heard the sound of someone breathing.

"Also, I know what everyone is saying. Whenever I want, these mirrors appear and I can read what the person I want to hear is saying."

Dolores closed her eyes and started focusing, the breathing sound of the lake lowered and in two seconds, a mirror appeared in front of her."

She handed y/n the mirror and said
"It's my brother snoring. He's sleeping right now"

Y/n looked at the mirror and saw some words appear.

"Zzzz...Zzzz...thanks tía Julieta...I love the Buñuelos you make...zzz"

Y/n giggled

"You can keep it if you want. You'll be able to read and hear this clip of my hermano snoring. Everyone except myself can have a permanent copy of one of those, but I never give them to anyone because I don't trust them enough, but I know you're a good person" said Dolores

Y/n expression changed.
"But you know I have a curse... I'm a bad person...you should stay away from me...what if I'll accidentally hurt you?"

"I know you won't. We all have powers in this house. What if you'd stay with us. My family will help you control your powers! Sometimes, some of us get out of order too and we can barely manage our gifts!"

"You really...think so?" Y/n said
"I know so! I know you're father's ill, so I thought of sending one of my close friends that's around his age to take care of him!
You can live in Mirabel's room! She doesn't have a gift but she used to struggle with feeling accepted by everyone so I'm sure your gonna get along with her!"

"That's too much to ask for... that would be too nice of you! But I don't think your family will allow me to stay...I'm still a complete stranger to them!"

"Mi familia is very kind Y/n. They're gonna adore you! You're always so adorable and sweet! Even when you're frustrated! At least that's what he says..." said Dolores while smiling

"Wait who?"
"Camilo! He always talks about you and when he mentioned you when he came back without his favourite Ruana, I knew something was off!"

He really thinks that?

"Wow... that's...unexpected..."
"And he says a lot more too!"

...

"Mi familia is gonna love you so much! And your dad probably should also have someone else to take care of him while you'll focus on yourself. Camilo told me that you're a teacher, after your shift you and him could do other stuff together until dinner time"

"I thought he was a busy guy"
"Nah, he just keeps himself busy. Abuela now doesn't really care too much whether we work or not, she just wants us to not overwork and I'm sure he'll love to spend time with you"

"O-okay..."

"But what if they'll get scared of my curse..."
"They won't, promise."
"Okay, thank you so much Dolores! I've always felt so different from people and I was scared that if someone would find out, they would kick me and my dad out of town. Thanks for truly understanding me!"
"No problems, but I think that you should go back now. They're all gonna wake up soon.
Come by for dinner tonight and we'll discuss about this with the rest of my family!"

Y/n thanked Dolores with warm tears in her eyes one more time and gave her a long squeeze before leaving. She gave Camilo's ruana to Dolores and left feeling more loose than ever.

Author's note: sorry if it's really long! It took me a while!
