The Picture of Passivity --@ [Isagus]

@accident-prone-agustin

Isabela didn’t want to close her eyes. Whenever she did there was something lurking there--waiting for her. It didn’t matter what it was: smoke filled courtyards and smoke filled lungs; crowded ports--people trying to pour into the sea; a kaleidoscope college party--

They all kept Isabela up.

It was tragic, really, considering Isabela needed her beauty sleep. Perhaps that was why her magic wasn’t working. She wasn’t getting enough sleep.

Because--yes, her magic wasn’t working. She didn’t know why. It couldn’t even be blamed on the ghosts of the coup which haunted her. It had started before that. Just a fluke, here or there. She could blame it on the stress of prom committee (not stressful, but easy enough to blame). Now--she didn’t know.

It felt like she was wilting.

Her bare feet were silent against the warm stone floor of Casita as she crossed down to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, it came alive. The faucet running, the kettle clanking, and the stove clicking on.

“Gracias,” Isabela murmured, touching the wall.

The water boiled, Isabela found the powdered chocolate that her mama kept for special occasions and she poured it into a cup, piling it on, so the chocolate would be heavy and sweet on her tongue. She added a bit of cream and then Casita pulled out her chair for her, wiggling it back and forth invitingly.

Isabela sighed and sank into it. She drank her cocoa, sitting in the dark and stared at the wall. She didn’t hear anyone come in. Not until the same routine started again: the faucet running, the kettle clanking, and the stove clicking on.

“Oh, buenas noches, Papa,” she murmured, taking another sip of her cocoa and curling her toes over the rung of her stool.

ISABELA:Isabela had thought it would be fine: having her father’s campaign fundraiser at Casita. It would allow her to be reintroduced to society, but on her own terms. In her own home. She could retreat to her room if she needed, she could step outside if she needed…

But she wasn’t going to need it. 

Isabela already felt like she had ruined her father’s campaign for a second time. The news of her attack overshadowing his run for office. At least, in her mind. Maybe no one was thinking of it at all, but Isabela couldn’t help thinking about it.

She had stood along the wall, not drinking the water in her hand—worried that something was in it. Worried that someone might convince her to step away again. She told herself they weren’t inviting anyone in (but what if the invitation itself was an invitation?) Even her mantra that she was surrounded by family and nothing bad would happen was flimsy. 

Her family, her boyfriend, had been at the party where she’d been attacked.

ISABELA:It had been a horrible night. 

Isabela had been feeling slightly ill, as if she was coming down with a cold all day. And while she could usually go to her mother for something, she had been too busy, spending all day at the Emerald Manor with Minnie and Daisy, directing vendors. 

So, instead, she’d tried to tough it out. But Isabela was not someone who toughed out illness. Why would she be? When her mother could heal any small injury or ailment? She never had to suffer from a hangnail, or a hangover, or a papercut. 

But it wasn’t just a cold. Her magic wasn’t working. 

She didn’t understand--but all through the night, she had tried several times. In front of other people at first, but then, subtly, to herself. Tossing her hair and willing petals to appear. None did. It came in fits and starts. Sometimes, it worked. Sometimes, it didn’t. 

And what was worse than all of that: her fundraiser hadn’t made nearly enough money. 

It had failed.

And she couldn’t help but think that it was all her fault.

She had slept horribly, waking up with a headache and her hair a tangled mess. Two things that never, ever happened to the perfect Isabela Madrigal. As she slunk out of bed, she went to find the only person that she felt like she could talk to about this. 

Thankfully, she found him alone. 

“Papi,” Isabela said, lip wobbling pathetically as her eyes filled with tears. Another thing Isabela rarely ever did: cry. “I-I think something is wrong with me.”

princesa.isabela: ¡Feliz cumpleaños a mi papá! Today is my dad, Agustín’s birthday! I am so proud of him and so glad God blessed me with such an amazing papá. I hope he has the absolute best day! 

As some of you may know, my papá is running for the Town Board in Swynlake. While many of you don’t live here, I just couldn’t help but mention it as I am so proud of him and the steps he is taking to make this community we currently call home the best it can be. I will try to keep campaign stuff to a minimum on this account but I will be busy managing through December! Be sure to check out my stories for campaign updates and  wish him luck!

PS -- today is also my sister, Mirabel’s birthday. So jealous she gets to share this day with our Papa, but make sure to wish her feliz cumpleaños as well!
