《My Precious Flower》Chapter 9: Ruined Proposal

——————————🌺——————————
Meanwhile, with Isaiah and (Y/n):
Isaiah pulled (Y/n) into a secluded hallway and released her hand.
"What do you want?" She asked firmly.
Isaiah silently opened and closed his mouth, trying to find the right words.
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "Well if your not going to say anything, then I'm going to go find Mirabel." She started to walk away.
"I'm sorry!" Isaiah blurted.
(Y/n) froze. She had never heard him apologize before.
"I...I'm sorry for being rude to you at the Gift ceremony. I...I didn't mean what I said. Can you please forgive me?"
(Y/n) looked into his eyes with a shocked look on her face. Isaiah looked nervous and upset. She had never seen him look so vulnerable before.
"Um...it's ok. I forgive you." (Y/n) replied.
Isaiah's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Oh, thank you mi pétala!"
(Y/n) yelped as he picked her up in a hug and twirled her around. He then set her back down and kissed her cheek.
Both of their eyes widened once they realized what had happened, and they stared at each other with flushed cheeks.
Isaiah stared into her beautiful eyes and slowly found himself leaning in. (Y/n) didn't stop him, and found herself leaning in too. Their eyelids closed halfway and their noses were about to brush against each other.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and the noise startled (Y/n) and she jumped away from him.
"U-Um...well, Mariana is certainly going to get a great husband...uh...I should probably go home now..."
"No!" Isaiah yelled.
(Y/n) jumped and her eyes grew wider. Isaiah chuckled nervously before clearing his throat.
"W-What I meant is, uh...you should stay...for, uh, dinner...that is."
"Oh, I wouldn't want to impose..."
"You wouldn't! I promise. Please stay?..." he pleaded.
For some reason (Y/n) had trouble saying 'no' to him, so she let out a sigh.
"Okay..." she agreed.
"Great! I-I'll get you a chair." He announced, wrapping an arm around her waist and leading her to the dining room.
...
"The Guzmáns and the Madrigals together will be so good for the Encanto." Abuela said.

"Yes, then let's hope tonight is not a horrible disaster." Mariana's mother joked.
"To a perfect night!"
Mirabel was staring Dolores down making sure she didn't say anything.
"Salud!" Everyone toasted.
Mirabel kept staring at Dolores who whimpered in response. (Y/n) was sitting between Mirabel and Isaiah and looked between the two in confusion.
"Avocado?" Mariana passed a bowl in front of Mirabel's face.
She moved the bowl away as quickly as possible, but Dolores was already whispering into Camilo's ear. Camilo coughed, and shifted into Mirabel, then Bruno, then himself, but his eyes were wonky.
Abuela and Mariana's mother noticed this, and Abuela chuckled and poured more wine into her glass.
"Camilo. Fix your face." Félix told him.
He shook his head and looked at Mirabel with concern.
Mirabel tried to say something, but Isaiah put a pitcher in front of her face.
"Water?"
Mirabel moved the pitcher and saw Camilo passing the secret along to Félix who spit out his water in shock.
"Mirabel." Abuela called. "The cream please."
"Pá, the cream?" Mirabel repeated to her father.
Agustín chuckled and handed the cream to Mirabel, who passed it to Isaiah.
"Mirabel, what is going on?" (Y/n) whispered to her.
"Uh...nothing, don't-don't worry about it."
Mirabel then looked over and saw Félix whispering into Pepa's ear, while a storm cloud was forming above her head.
"Pepa, the cloud." Abuela pointed..
"Clear skies, clear skies, clear skies." She whispered to herself.
She then leaned over to Julieta and told her, and she looked over at her daughter with concern.
Mirabel brought her gaze down and noticed the floor underneath her was starting to crack, and stuck her head underneath the table.
"Mirabel." Mariana called.
Mirabel hit her head as she came back up.
"Everything okay?"
"Everything's is great. She is just excited." Agustín reassured "For the proposal. Which, uh, you should do, Isaiah. As fast as you can."
"Uh, I was actually gonna..."
"You we're actually gonna. Great!" Mirabel cut in, spinning Isaiah's chair to face Mariana.

Mariana looked to her mother.
"Well, since everyone here as a talent, my Mariana wanted to begin with a song." She explained. "Luisa, could you bring over the piano?"
"Okay." Luisa got up from her chair and covered her face with her hands.
"Mirabel..." (Y/n) began, but Mirabel had already gotten up from his seat.
"Uh, it's actually family tradition to sing after." She pulled out Mariana's chair and went over to Isaiah's and forced him to his knee.
Mariana gave her a weird look, and Isaiah glared at her but pulled out a small box. He stared down at it in with sadness. Wishing he was kneeling down in front of the girl next to him. But he sucked it up and just pretended like he was proposing to (Y/n).
"(Y/-, uh, Mariana! The most beautiful woman I've ever met..."
Mirabel noticed some cracks along the floor and leaped on top of them to cover them up.
"Um..." Isaiah hesitated, looking at her.
"You're doing great." Mirabel gave him a thumbs up.
(Y/n) looked at her with furrowed brows.
"The most perfect girl in this entire Encanto." He continued.
Mirabel heard chittering and saw some animals grabbing the pieces of Bruno's vision from Agustín's pocket.
"No." She whispered. She looked to his left and saw Luisa struggling with the piano still sobbing.
Mirabel looked under the table and saw that the animals and put the vision together on a tray.
"Will you marry..." Isaiah lifted the lid off the box.
"No!" Mirabel shouted diving for the vision, but the animals moved it away before she could.
Luisa tried to move the piano, but she fell to the ground crying.
Pepa's storm cloud grew and lightning and thunder boomed all throughout the house.
"What is happening?" Mariana's mother cried.
"Mirabel found Bruno's vision. She's in it. She's gonna destroy the magic and now we're all doomed!" Dolores shrieked.
The animals brought the vision onto the table, and Mirabel made a dive for it, only to push it towards Abuela. She looked down at the vision, and back up at Mirabel, who stood there frozen.
Behind her, the house began to crack. The cracks spread all along the walls and the floor around Isaiah, scaring him and causing him to grow a flower that hit Mariana in the face.
The cracks spread near (Y/n) and she screamed and jumped back tripping over her chair and falling on top of Isaiah. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and held her close as the chaos continued.
The doors to the house suddenly burst open, and a crowd of people stood there with a congratulations banner.
"Felicidades!" They shouted, before they saw what was happening.
Pepa's cloud finally caused a down pour and Abuela looked back at Mirabel, unable to speak.
...
Mariana's mother led Mariana out of the house while she clutched her nose in pain.
"Señora, por favor!" Abuela called after her.
Mirabel ran after her. "Abuela, please! There's got to be an explanation!" She yelled.
"I hate you!" Isaiah snarled as he passed her.
Luisa followed, still crying. "I'm a loser!"
"Luisa!" Agustín chased after his daughter.
"What did you do?" Pepa asked as she too, sprinted past him.
"I'm not doing anything! It's Bruno's vision! It's..."
"Mirabel!" A voice called from behind her.
She turned around and saw (Y/n) sprinting towards her. She immediately engulfed her in a hug.
"Are you okay?" She asked, fearfully.
"Yeah. I'm okay." She pulled away and took a deep breath. "I'm..."
Mirabel paused when she saw some rats running along the floor carrying pieces of the vision.
Mirabel and (Y/n) glanced at each other before she took her arm and pulled her along. "Come on."
...
Mariana and her mother ran out of the house and Abuela followed behind them.
"The magic is strong! Everything is fine! We are the Madrigals!" She slammed the doors to the house closed as the crowd watched with concern.
"MIRABEL!!!" She screamed, as thunder rumbled.

God Blade (Hiatus)
Theo, a prodigy of sword and an aspiring adventurer, lives in an RPG-like world where everyone has their own level and skill. However, his is a hardcore RPG world where more than half of its human never gets higher than level one. So who is Theo you ask? Was he a ninja trying to be a leader in his hidden village? Was he trying to be a pirate king? Maybe a teenager summoned from another world? A chosen one of the god? A man whose girlfriend is secretly the demon queen? A cook in a journey to make the greatest dish? Or maybe the reincarnation of an ancient Dark Lord? Well, No. Theo is a man born in that world. An NPC you might say. Not only that, he wasn't even the true hero or the main protagonist of his own world. But he does have to meet all those people during his journey to accomplish his dream. ----- 1 chapter every 2 or 3 days. I don't claim the MC of my story to be not cliched. With so many stories on the internet right now, It's almost impossible if not outright impossible to make an original MC. The best I can do is pick the kind of cliched MC I like the most and give it a twist of my own. English is not my first language, so there will be some mistakes in every chapter. Please notify me in the comment if you found one (Or some). I'm still an inexperienced writer, so feedbacks and reviews are very much appreciated.
8 327Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

8 119The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
