Bruno woke with a headache on a bed that did not feel like his own. The last thing he remembered was talking to Andre and then- his eyes snapped open. The townie had put him in a choke hold till he passed out. He scrambled off the bed and ran out of the bedroom looking for an exit. Before he could make it to the door a hand grabbed him by the wrist and spun him into the hard muscular chest of his captor. "Let go of me!" Bruno shouted in panic.
"Don't you remember me?" The taller man replied grabbing Bruno's upper arms. "Don't you remember seeing my future the day you disappeared?" The Prophet tried to squirm and pull away unsuccessful.
"That was a long time ago and a lot happened that day," He responded with a grunt trying to free himself. "You're hurting me." Andre pulled him into a tight hug then picked him up bridal style and carried him to the bed. The smaller man landed on it with an oof.
"I asked you to look into the future and tell me who my true love was. We looked together and I realized it was you in the vision. I suspected you didn't realize the same because your vision didn't show a face, but I could tell." The taller man stood at the edge of the bed staring at the other in hopeful desperation. "You're family caused you to disappear. But I swear I will protect you from them and I will never let you go again."
"This is insane," Bruno uttered in disbelief. "Look, I vaguely remember helping someone with a vision that day, but honestly I had a lot on my mind later on-"
Andre interrupted "Forget the vision then! What about me?" He began to pace the room in frustration. "When I first laid eyes on you I fell in love, surely you must have felt something too! Even in 10 years I could never forget those beautiful green eyes." He climbed onto the bed causing Bruno to crawl backwards to keep space between them till his back hit the headboard. The bigger man sat in the middle of the bed on his knees inches from the other. "Tell me you remember me, even just a feeling, or a vague familiarity?"
Bruno just couldn't remember, that day was the worst day of his life and the most vivid parts of it was his vision of Maribel and the moment he left. "I'm sorry. I don't remember."
The captor reacted instantly. Grabbing the shorter man's ankles and dragging him to lay flat and straddling him. He lent down and kissed his love softly. Bruno lay still, stunned by this turn of events. Once their lips parted, Andrew whispered into his beloved's ear, "Then I will give you memories with me that you could never forget."
In the morning at the Casa Madrigal, none of the family members got much sleep and their appetites were low. There was still no sign of Bruno. Antonio's animals had no new info and Dolores could not hear him. They decided to search.
Mirabel, Camilo, Agustin, and Julieta took that task of asking around town. Pepa, Felix, Luisa, and Isabela would search the woods and surrounding area. Abuela stayed home with Dolores, and Antonio as they used their powers to pinpoint where Bruno could be. But by the end of the day they could find nothing.
The family came home empty handed and defeated. Pepa was soaking from the constant storm cloud above her head from the worry. They had only just gotten him back. Abuela tried to calm them all down and reassure them. "He was last seen with someone from town, so someone must know something."
"Exactly!" Mirabel exclaimed with realization. "But we were looking in the wrong places for answers." Everyone looked to her in confusion, they had looked everywhere. "Someone was with him, so we just need to find that person."
"But Antonio said the rats didn't see who it was," Pepa responded sadly.
"True, but Casita saw who it was," Mirabel announced proudly. Everyone was silent for a moment, unsure of how to proceed.
"How is Casita going to tell us who it was?" Isabela asked annoyed, "It cannot speak."
"That's where Camilo comes in," Mirabel counters.
"Me?" Camilo asked not understanding.
"Yes, just change into every person from town, one at a time, and Casita will let us know which one is the one involved in Bruno's disappearance."
"Mi Vida, that is a lot to ask," Julieta voiced, concerned doing something like that would be too much for Camillo. But he had his own opinion on the matter.
"Challenge accepted."
