Let's Talk About Bruno [chapter 16]

"We were getting ready, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky," Pepa rose her arms in the air. They were stretched skyward, almost as if they were grabbing for the force connected to her gift.

Félix extended his arm and wagged his finger just like his wife had done moments prior, "No clouds allowed in the sky."

Then their attention was directed to a figure walking in. He looked the slightest bit familiar with the cloak that was thrown over his body. This guy was rather scrawny, and looked as if he'd gone years without any sort of haircut or facial hair trimmings. That dude looked shaggy. He tapped his fingers together with an evil smirk, "Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin."

"Thunder!"

"You telling this story or am I?" Pepa crossed her arms and gave a fake eye roll. She started to walk away, only for Félix to grab her arm and stop her from "leaving".

Señor Félix stuck out two fingers, placing them on his wife's arm. They danced their way up her limb until they reached her shoulder, "I'm sorry, mi vida. Go on." His wedding ring was prominent on his hand as the adoration on his face when looking at the woman he got to marry.

Pepa was cheered up again. Félix and her danced around in a slight circle, Pepa looking at Mirabel and y/n the whole time, "Bruno says it looks like rain."

"Why did he tell us?" Félix pondered.

Pepa brought her hands to the flow-y part of her wedding dress. She twisted around twice, bringing up her skirt so they flowed in circles, "In doing so he floods my brain." Her veil swayed with the motion her boy rocked in.

An umbrella was thrown into Félix's hand, "Abuela get the umbrellas!"

A heavy wind blew in, making both y/n's and mirabel's hair go in every which direction. It also pushed them forward, with the rain only pouring down with as much force as the wind was blowing. "Married in a hurricane!" Pepa looked extremely stressed when saying that line.

"Still a joyous day, but anyway!" he and Pepa stood close together in their dancing formation once again.

"We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no. We don't talk about Bruno!"

Félix managed to twirl both girls until the scenery changed and they disappeared. Instead, they were back in the house, but this time on the ground floor. Mind you, not where the nursery is. You know, where they were before.

"Hey!" Delores caught their attention in a voice that resembled that of a whisper. She looked to be alert as she addressed the two girls, "Grew to live in fear Bruno's stuttering or stumbling. I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling." She poked her ear out as did the other two girls, hoping to hear whatever she was with her super hearing gift. "I associate him with the sound of falling sand."

"Ch... ch... ch..."

They started to do a dance all in the same direction. If they hadn't been facing the way they were, the trio would've noticed the man on the second floor behind them with a green aura surrounding him.

"It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling," Y/n and Mirabel were placed on opposite sides of Dolores. They held their skirts exactly as she did, neither removing their eyes from the face of their triplet's older sister. "Always left Abuela and the family fumbling."

Dolores grabbed Mirabel's arm and turned her so she was now standing next to y/n, ignoring the gasp her younger cousin let out, "Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand." She got close to both of their faces, "Do you understand?"

And then her boy appeared.

"Seven-foot frame!" there was a green light shining on him. They were in, what y/n assumed, was his room. He spread his arms up high, scaring them when he turned into Bruno but with real light eyes. He changed back into himself with a rat on his shoulder (?) "Rats along his back."

He changed into Bruno again, preforming some exaggerated dance moves... with little rats doing the same ones at his feet? Honestly it was just a talent. How could he get those little critters to do such things? Was this like some sort of rehearsed choreography?

"When he calls your name, it all fades to black."

He shifted back into himself. She only took her eyes off him for one second, but it was a rookie mistake. Especially when she had been dealing with Camilo almost her whole life.

Camilo scared her when he appeared on the side opposite of where he just was, "Yeah he sees your dreams, and feasts on your screams!" Then, one after the other, y/n and Mirabel were dropped down through a hole that suddenly appeared underneath them.

Since Mirabel was the first to fall, that was the person Camilo caught first. She was set aside gently by her cousin. Then he caught y/n in his arms. She hooked her arms around his neck when she fell, tightly shutting her eyes in the process. Falling to death was such a lame way to die.

"We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no. We don't talk about Bruno!"

Then a few towns people stated some of the prophecies they were told and how they all turned out exactly as he said. But it stood out to her how a lady actually kept her fish after it died. The only proper way to deal with a dead fish is a toilet funeral. Everyone know this. With special emphasis on the triplets who'd killed an aquarium's worth of fish.

Then it went perfect girl Isabela. Of course to match her perfect hair and perfect skin and perfect gift she had to get just the perfect prophecy from Bruno. It was all positive; unlike all the other ones that were said. A life of her dreams with powers that will get stronger. That's the golden child.

"Oye, Mariano's on his way."

And on the contrary, Dolores got a depressing one. Y/n truly couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl who got a torturous gift as well as a horrible prophecy. Having the man of your dreams just out of reach? Ouch!

Y/n and Mirabel had gotten separated once again. She was on the opposite of the room from her triplet, but she could see Mirabel's oldest sister say something to her that made her scrunch up her nose.

"Gimme the truth and the whole truth Bruno!" Number Three latched onto the strap of her bag and started rushing up the stairs to her room.

Number Two started his teasings up again, making sure to use his gift to go along with it, "Isabela, your boyfriend's here!"

"Time for dinner!"

Then everything faded into a jumble of everybody singing. She somehow managed to get stuck into the mix, only being able to see Mirabel again when dinner happened.
