The Mysterious Dancer ( Camilo Madrigal X Reader )

Bad Choices.

You and your friends awoke feeling different. None of you felt as guilty about tricking and lying to Camilo anymore. You all felt...

Anew.

Mischievous.

Gloriosa had hexed you and your friends to a certain extent. You all still had your will, but you felt as if the red crystal had persuaded you to go and... cause some mischief.

There was no harm in that, right?

Art and Dario took off, running deep into the village. You and Adella went to go steal some food.

CAMILO'S P.O.V.

" What is this?" Pepa said as she held up a necklace, showing Camilo. She had found it while in his room.

It was the one he had stolen from the villager.

Camilo chewed his lip.

" It was uh.. A gift." He lied. Pepa was less than satisfied with that. A dark cloud started to form over her as her face twisted in anger.

" Hijo, I KNOW that it wasn't a gift. What kind of lie is that? Why would you even try to lie to ME?" She scolded. Camilo rolled his eyes. This was the first time he had shown any sort of disrespect that wasn't sarcastic or joking. It wasn't normal.

" You've been sneaking out and hanging out with those bad kids, haven't you!?!!?" Pepa yelled as lightning spurted out of her growing dark cloud. Camilo's eyes widened, he put his hands up.

" Mami calm down-" He started but was interrupted.

" I will NOT CALM DOWN!!! You DISOBEYED me. You disobeyed your father, AND your Abuela! We told you to NOT MAKE FRIENDS WITH THOSE- THOSE...DELINQUENTS! AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN!" It was storming now, the cloud had grown so big that it hovered over Casita.

" You didn't listen. Now you're becoming just as bad and mischievous as they are! STEALING! Do you REALIZE that what those kids do is against what this Encanto we live in stands for? What this FAMILY stands for??" Camilo's face twisted in anger, a rare emotion for him. The rest of the family had gathered, and watched in concern.

" They're not delinquents!," Camilo yelled. The hurricane wind of the storm blew his hair.

" They're my friends! And- And they aren't mischievous! They're nice, they dance and have a ton more fun than this family EVER HAS!"

Felix gently grabbed Pepa by the shoulders attempting to comfort her and stop the storm. But she stepped forward, angier than she had ever been.

" You will NOT be seeing those kids anymore. Go to your room!"

Camilo narrowed his eyes.

" I'm SO SICK of taking ORDERS from EVERYONE ALL THE TIME! You always want me to shapeshift into someone, to be SOMEONE ELSE! But... But- I JUST WANT TO BE ME!" He screamed. Pepa's face instantly changed from furious to shocked.

The storm stopped, and the winds went quiet. The air was still. Almost as if time had frozen.

" Hijo..." Pepa started putting her arms out to touch him, not knowing her son had felt this way. But Camilo stopped her. He backed away.

" I-I....I'm leaving. Go to where someone actually lets me be ME." He told his family. They all had heartbroken and shocked faces as he snatched the necklace back and ran out of Castia, heading for the village. Dolores had covered her ears, the yelling had hurt her superpowered ears. She hadn't noticed that Antonio was now crying. She gasped as he clutched her dress. Tears running down his face. Dolores hugged him. Felix and Pepa looked at eachother, shocked and sad.
