1 year later

As the seasons came and went another year passed with Mirabel out of encanto she has met a few other members of the van der linde gang like uncle and Leopold

Strauss, uncle was a lazy bum but Mirabel liked his stories like "the legend of red harlow" Leopold Mirabel liked less since he insisted that Mirabel learns math, geography, etc. Basically becoming the girl's personal teacher, thought Mirabel didn't mind since that meant Hosea gave her a lighter load whenever Leopold would come with the weeks assignment, and as for her and Charles*

Scene in the dark forest

We see a rabbit jumping around it started eating a piece of wild roots when a arrow hits it in the neck the arrow went half way as it gets stuck on the ground stopping the rabbit from moving, Mirabel dropped from the top of a tree she was hiding with Charles coming out from behind the tree*

Charles:ok you're aim is certainly a lot better then when you started, finish it off quickly just because it's out meal doesn't mean it has to suffer

Mirabel nodded agreeing as she walked up to the rabbit with a knife at hand and stabbed the rabbits heart finishing it once the rabbit was dead Mirabel grabbed it and put it over her shoulder before digging the ground a bit and cutting the roots the rabbit was eating taking them with her before walking away with Charles*

Charles: you've come a long way but still ways to go

Mirabel;yes yes i can't tell the difference between a poisonous berry and a non poisonous one it's not my fault nature made them almost the same

Charles:hm, how is the arm?

Mirabel;slow and I'm still not used do it i have to pay attention to the wild life and the arm to make sure it's doing what i want it to do

They made it to where Charles left his hunt a big deer putting it over his shoulder, he chuckled a bit hearing Mirabel muttered how he's a show off*

Charles:don't worry it's spring the herd will soon come out of hiding this one was just old and slow

Mirabel:how can you even tell it's old?

Charles:it's mouth when a deer gets old it wear of the cusps closest to the tongue on the cheek teeth., You'll learn do differentiate them one day but the sooner the better since the old are easy prey the youngs are off limits unless you're desperate and the primes are fast

Mirabel nodded writing everything Charles said in the fancy journal Leopold gave her as a gift it even had Mirabel's named engraved, soon enough they made it back to the farm walking pass a sleeping uncle hugging a beer bottle, to the kitchen Mirabel was giving a larger knife Mirabel looked at Charles confused*

Charles: you've seen me and Hosea do this a million times, time for you to do it start by taking out the skin and fur I'll teach you how to make that in to leather later

Mirabel nodded and did as she was told it was sloppy and she struggled on multiple occasions but she managed to completely disassemble the deer putting the useless stuff like the guts and organs on a bucket for Gabriela, Hosea walked in grabbing most of the meat and going to the cellar do turn it in to jerky and make it shelf life 10 times longer*

Mirabel:think you can teach me how to make smoke-cured outside?

Charles;that's one of my lessons yes you can go now I'll take care of cooking the meat that's left

Mirabel:i would say thanks if i didn't know you're only doing it because Mary Beth is coming to visit

Charles didn't response making Mirabel laugh and walk away to the main room seeing Gabriela asleep on the couch Mirabel sat next to her rubbing her head*

Mirabel:how you doing girl?

Gabriela yawned and whined putting her head on mirabel's lap while Mirabel scratched her behind the ear, after a bit Mirabel didn't noticed how tired she really was so she fell asleep there, Hosea walking up from the cellar saw this he sighed as it may be spring but the snow still hasn't melt so it was still cold Hosea walked up to the girl and gave her his jacket to use as a blanket*

Uncle:Well ain't that cute you've got a soft spot for her

Hosea:just like you have one for beer

Uncle:i don't have a soft spot with beer i have a passion for it

Hosea:it's amazing really, you've bought a licore company with you're share of the money, you make good money and yet you still look like a bum and sleep all day

Uncle;hey why buy a house when i can just crash with one of you all since i know how much you must have missed your dear old uncle

Hosea just rolled his eyes and walked away to do some farm work with uncle following him*

Uncle;come now don't be like that you could at least admit it you treat her like you treat jack you see her as you're granddaughter

Hosea:if I'm her grandfather then i have a few choice words i have to give to her grandmother now will you go bother Charles instead of me?

Uncle:nah he's busy making food i rather just annoy you

Hosea sighed and got to work while giving small responses for uncle as much as he annoyed him Hosea still made time to talk to him*

Scene change

Leopold:wrong you forgot to carry the 1 there, start again from the beginning

Mirabel sighed grabbing her eraser and doing it over from the start*

Mirabel:why do i have to learn this again?

Leopold:would you rather work outside? Because i hear that Hosea needs someone to shovel the animal dungs

Mirabel:...so where did i forget to carry the one?

Leopold:that's what I thought and right here

Mirabel nodded and did it again both heard a knock on the door as Leopold got up to answer he told Mirabel to keep working, Mirabel did as she was told but couldn't help but hear the multiple footsteps coming her way she looked up and saw a boy about her age looking at her well not at her at her arm, Mirabel give a silent sigh before taking it off and throwing it to the boy who jumped stumbling but he caught it*

Mirabel:if you want to look so much just ask

Jack;s... sorry sorry I'm jack by the way jack marston

Mirabel:...Mirabel madrigal what brings you here jack?

Jack:oh visiting grandpa Hosea wait you're the mirabel from the letters?

Mirabel:how very bright you are yes that's me now jokes over give me back my arm

Jack jumped a bit but did so while she did jack looked at Gabriela sleeping under mirabel's feet*

Jack;is that a wolf?

Mirabel;and what if it is?

Jack:nothing just my pa isn't to keen on them since a pack of them almost ate him alive left him with a scared face

Mirabel;wonder what hurts more getting scared by a wolf pack or by the miracle

Mirabel mumbled do herself as she kept working occasionally answering Jack's questions Mirabel felt annoyed and a little embarrassed since she remembered being like this to Isabela and Luisa before her 5 birthday*

Mirabel"i haven't been this optimistic since i was 5 god...what a sad life i must live compared to him should i have been more like him at this age ? Or maybe he's just super energetic with my luck probably the first god how pathetic can i be when I'm comparing my life to some kid"

Mirabel though that thought soon changed to Isabela even after everything apart from her mother Isabela was the one Mirabel missed the most*

Jack:Mirabel?

Mirabel;hm?

Jack:are you ok? There's a tear coming down you're cheek

Mirabel cleaned it and glued her eyes on the worksheets*

Mirabel:I'm fine just tired what were you saying about that book of yours?

Jack continued to talk about his book while Mirabel finished her work while in the back of her mind one question was itching away at her*

Mirabel"wonder is they even miss me...wonder if she even misses me..."
