Last time

Mirabel:she...she didn't mean to...

Mirabel managed to say, it took a bit to understand what Mirabel was implying, but she did. Dolores looked shock, and that quickly turned to anger*

Dolores:Isabela whipped you?!

Now

With Isabela

We see her sitting down on a bench with a forced smile on her face, in front of her was Mariano reciting another one of his poems. Just like yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that*

Isabela"does he know how to do anything apart from poems?

Isabela:ay amor, that was incredible. Better then you're poem yesterday

Isabela said completely lying, she just wanted the dumb hunk, to shut up. Mariano looked at her and smiled*

Mariano: you think so?

Isabela:oh I know so, now. How about we go and start planning for our wedding?

Isabela said patting the opened seat next to her, Mariano nodded and sat down*

Mariano:are you sure? There's still quite a bit of time before we have to get married

Isabela: actually, I've been thinking. How would you feel on moving the date closer, say. In two months?

Isabela said putting her hand on Mariano's thigh and rubbing it softly. Mariano had a very small blush, but still looked surprised*

Mariano:In 2 months? Why so soon mi amor?

Isabela:ay cariño, it's just that this is torture. Having to wait to be with you when it's all i can think about, I want you. I need you, I desire you...

Isabela said whispering it to Mariano's ear, it made the poor flustered boy shutter. He gulped and coughed a bit trying to regain his composure*

Mariano:w...well, if that's what you want. I can talk to abuela see what she thinks,

Isabela;ay gracias amor!

Isabela said kissing his cheek. Bless her heart, Mariano was a good man, but oh so very naive. Since the reason Isabela wanted the wedding moved up, was for very, for lack of a better word, very fucked up reasons*

Osvaldo:ISABELA THE DONKEYS GOT OUT AGAIN!!

Mariano saw Isabela eye start to twitch and he chuckled stealing a kiss from her lips to her*

Mariano:come on mi amor, I'll help you.

Isabela:ay gracias, genuinely

Isabela said with a sigh as they both got up and started walking to those demon on 4 legs. While they were walking Isabela was celebrating internally*

Isabela"yes. With my wedding so soon, it'll make abuela remember why! I'm the favorite. Why I'm the perfect madrigal, yes. All of this will be perfect, things will finally go back to the way there were.*

Isabela thought with a big smile, since all of that was just a ploy, a ploy to get back into Alma's good side. Even if there was a small part of her that was screaming no, that was begging Isabela to tell the truth. It was drowned out and ignored*

Isabela"and after the marriage I'll give birth to the perfect child, and be the golden child again. Like I'm supposed to"

In Casita

Bruno frowned, ever since he saw the vision of the future for Dolores and Mirabel, the cracks were begging to get smaller, patched up if you will. But a fresh new one started to grow, Bruno walked up to it and rubbed it softly*

Bruno: that's not good. That's not good at all...

Bruno said with concern. The family was doing so well, why did this have to appear now?*

Bruno:my visions are never wrong. I...I just need hope, a new hope. A new hope...

Bruno thought as those 3 words made him think of a new telenovela about a boy going up against an empire*

Back to Mirabel and Dolores

Mirabel was looking at Dolores pace back and forth around the motel. Dolores wasn't talking to Mirabel, not yet at least. She was just muttering some...things that would get this chapter flagged so I'm not gonna repeat them*

Mirabel: Dolores, please calm down and talk to me.

Dolores:calm down?! Your sister whipped you with one of her vines and I didn't hear it!! Your were in pain, you could've been killed and I didn't hear it!!

Dolores said, fear clearing in her whole body as she kept pacing, trying to walk off her panic attack, Dolores only chore and she didn't hear the library be build, she didn't hear any of the new places in encanto being build, and most importantly, she didn't hear a member of hef family getting hurt. So yeah, she was having a panic attack over it*

Dolores:what good is my stupid gift, if I can't hear when my family is hurt?!

Mirabel had Enough, she walked up to Dolores and grabbed her wrists keeping her in place*

Mirabel:ok Dolores. Follow my breathing

Dolores:Mirabel I don't...

Mirabel:FOLOW, my breathing.

Mirabel said more sternly as she started doing some breathing exercises. Dolores reluctantly did what Mirabel told her, taking a deep breath and letting it out. They did that for 20 minutes, until they were sitting down on the bed and Dolores looked reasonably calmer*

Mirabel:better?

Dolores:...a little

Dolores said sniffling as since the panic gone, sadness came to play. Dolores cleaners the tears coming from her face as Mirabel hugs her shoulder*

Mirabel:hey hey, it's ok... It's not your fault Lolo. It happened when you had that accident, the one that damaged your ears so much, that it took weeks from Mami's cooking to recover

Dolores nodded, feeling a little better to have an excuse, something to mentally hold on to*

Mirabel:as for the scar...it really was an accident. Isabela was stressed out, I didn't noticed that and I walked up to her

Dolores;Mirabel, being stressed out is no excuse.

Mirabel:no, but it at least explains it. Anyway I walked to Isabela to, I don't even remember I think I was gonna ask her to play or something...

Flashback

Isabela:not now Mirabel

Mirabel:you said that last time! Please! Please, please! Just 5 minutes

Mirabel whined following Isabela around. Neither of them noticed that vines started to grow and follow them*

Isabela:I said no Mirabel, I'm very busy

Mirabel:oh! Then how about if I help you? That way you can finish sooner and then we can play!

Mirabel said with a bright smile, that just annoyed isabela more, her tone getting more angry*

Isabela:no Mirabel, you can't help me. Now leave

Mirabel:but Isa...

Isabela:I said leave!!

Isabela screamed, and then it happened. Both heard the sound of a whip, the tearing of clothes, and more horrifying the tearing of flesh. Mirabel screamed on the ground crying, Isabela was frozen in place seeing Mirabel's bleeding back she could see the meat, and the spiked vine that caused it*

Present

Mirabel: after that she took me to her room and patched me up

Dolores:ok, but why did neither of you say anything?

Dolores asked, Mirabel sighed and shrugged, she looked out the window so to not meet Dolores gaze*

Mirabel:how do you think abuela would've reacted if she found out that the gift were used to harm somebody? And I mean how would she really react

Dolores:...she would've panicked, she probably would've kept Isabela locked up, scared That she would hurt someone else again.

Dolores said with a sigh, it was morning and she was already exhausted. Mirabel nodded*

Mirabel:i didn't want that for Isabela, so I promised her to not tell anybody. Mami was so busy helping you, that she didn't have the energy to make food for the rest of the encanto, and more importantly for me. So isabela took care of me, treating my wound, changing the bandages, that sort of thing

Dolores:never thought isabela could do something like that

Dolores said with a small smile teasing isabela for actually being nice, Mirabel rolled her eyes with a smile of her own*

Mirabel:Isabela is not a bad person Dolores. I know she's not, she...I don't know, I guess she takes Alma's opinion far to seriously, not like any of us were any better when it came to that

Dolores:yeah that's fair, still do. It's weird to think about, Isabela taking care of you

Mirabel snorted and got up stretching. Dolores looked at her confused*

Mirabel:welp, that's enough talking for one morning. Hurry up and get dressed, I want some breakfast. After that we have to deliver the letters, then we go bikini shopping

Dolores:bikini shopping?

Dolores asked confused as she caught the clothes Mirabel threw at her, Mirabel nodded at Dolores question*

Mirabel:you wanted to go to the beach right? Well we can't go dressed like this, we'll die from heat stroke. Trust me, it'll be fun. But seriously get dressed I'm hungry

Dolores:ok ok, turn around

Mirabel looked at her as if she was serious, when she saw that Dolores was she turned around. Mirabel looked out the bedroom window, it was a beautiful day, with there conversation still fresh, she couldn't help but think of her older sister*

Mirabel"I hope you start getting better Isabela, your my sister and I love you. I hope when I get back home you can at least great me with a smile"

Mirabel thought, she was taken out of her thoughts when she felt someone grab and squeeze her hand*

Dolores:alright, ready to go?

Mirabel:yeah, let's go have some fun today!

Mirabel said with a smile putting Isabela completely at the back of her mind*
