the scar of the Madrigal

chapter 4

In encanto

Morning

*Julieta woke up after another dreamless sleep, it's been years since the "death" of her youngest, she prefers a dreamless sleep if she's honest rather have that then having a dream since every time she dreamed it was of her as if her own mind was telling her Mirabel's death is somehow her fault,Julieta got up and walked out of her room immediately going to the kitchen and starting making breakfast, and line clockwork Bruno walked inside the kitchen leaning against the wall*

Bruno:you know she's gonna ask again

Julieta:mamá can ask until she bedridden i couldn't care less why should I waste my time healing the people of encanto when they treat Mirabel so horrible when she was.....when she was here

*The tone of her sister voice gutted him like a knife but he kept a neutral tone*

Bruno"this is for the best"

Little voice"best for you not for her"

*Bruno shook his head and looked at his sister nodded as if he was listening to her the whole time*

Julieta:if i told her once I've told her a thousand times i will only make enough arepas in case someone is seriously injured i refused to make some just because el señor Rodríguez is a drunk that can't deal with hangovers, now are you gonna help me or go back up to snuggle with Diana for a few more hours

Bruno:hm....i guess i can help my favorite sister out just don't tell Pepa

*Julieta gave a soft smirk as the siblings started making breakfast for the family it helped to silence the tiny voice in his head...almost*

Little voice"you took her daughter from her how would she react if she knew the truth"

Later

*The whole family was in the table waiting for alma since no one can eat before she arrived and she always the last to get up to make a point, alma walked to her seat and sat down*

Alma:before we eat....

*Camilo gave a soft groan that his mother glared at him for making him stop acting up*

Alma:we must remember to congratulate Bruno and Diana for today is 3 years since she came in to our live and fixed our little brunito

*Diana frowned but bit her tongue feeling Bruno's hand on her his way of pleading to not make a scene*

Alma:as for the rest of you we have a lot to do today starting with Julieta

Julieta:oh you are right mother i do have a lot to do

*Alma looked surprised and she smiled thinking her daughter little tantrum was coming to an end*

Julieta:me and Luisa have planned to spend the day together relaxing since in sure your granddaughter mental health is far more important then some donkey running lose isn't that right ma-mi?

*The table got tense as Julieta and alma glared at each other*

Alma:Luisa is far too busy she has....

Julieta:to do things that a pre-teen does? I'm glad we've come to an understanding now i dont know about you all but i am hungry

*In opened defiance of her mother Julieta started grabbing her breakfast and started to eat ignoring the small gasp around the table and more importantly ignoring the angry glare her mother was giving her*

Alma:Julieta you're being difficult

Julieta:wow that's a compliment coming from you, now Isabela

*Isabela jumped looking at her mother, Julieta gave her a pleading smile*
