~10 years ago~ Rieka's Pov:
"Camilo get your ass back here!" I yell angrily, the boy shapeshifting into me and sticking out his tongue before dashing away.
"Rieka watch your mouth!" My dad scolds me
"But papa he took my galletas!" I retort while running after him, "Tía Julieta made them, and they are too good not to throw hands over".
"Remember to be gentle mi perrita, he's much smaller than you!"
"I will!"
I shift onto all fours, running after that sneaky little 6 year old. I chased him inside the casita and into the dining room where Tía Julieta and Tía Pepa were decorating for Mirabel's gift ceremony tomorrow.
"Rieka, do you want me to catch another cloud? Abuela said no running on all fours in the casita!" Pepa yells, hands on her hips as she huffed at the fresh trails of mud in the house.
"Que pasa niña?" Julieta asks with concern
"Camilo took the cookies you made me!"
"Camilo!" Pepa calls to her son, the sound of his mama's voice instantly stopping him in his tracks.
"Sí mama...?" He asks, giving her the big eyes to try and get out of trouble.
"You give Rieka back her galletas this instant" she says sternly.
"Fine~" he huffs, holding out the basket for me to take.
"Little jerk~" I seethe, taking it from his grasp and walking away.
"Not so fast chiquita!" Pepa says, holding out a mop and a bucket," you need to clean this mess you made, casita must look her best para mañana".
"Sí Tía Pepa" I sigh, giving Camilo the eye before taking the mop and getting started.
"I'll make sure Julieta gives you more snacks when you're done~" she says sweetly, kissing my forehead before going back to decorating.
I smile, getting to work
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mirabel...?"
I slowly walk into the nursery, basket in one hand, doorknob in the other.
"Mirabel are you in here?" I ask, receiving no reply. I know she's in here, it's obvious even without my heightened senses.
I sigh, kneeling under her bed and lifting the draped sheets. There she was, hiding under the bed with an uncertain expression.
"Mirabel what's wrong?" I ask," everyone's been looking for you".
She doesn't say anything, hiding her face in her arms.
I crawl under the bed with her, adjusting her glasses that laid lopsided on the bridge of her tiny nose.
"It's okay to be scared, you know" I assure her.
"I'm never scared" Mirabel says stubbornly, lightly puffing out her cheeks.
