Vol. 4 - Chapter 2: Uriel and Tiwa’s Difficult Mission

February 17th; New Mexico...

It is night time in a small town in New Mexico. A couple walks down a street after a date. They were enjoying the night however a strange sound was heard.

(PIU, PIU, PIU)

Gunshots are heard making the couple worried about the sound.

(BBBOOOMMM)

The body of a man falls to the ground causing the girl to scream. A man wearing a cowboy hat swings by and lands in front of the couple saying: "GAME OVER"

A person points the gun at the man and fires a bullet hitting the man.

(BBOOOOMMMM)

A man explodes causing the couple to panic. The man looks around and sees them saying: "Oh dear, you saw me didn't you well no matter I'll give you 5 seconds to run."

The couple begin to run, the man points the gun to the sky and fires two bullets.

(BBBBOOOOMMMM)

The bullets land to the couple causing them to explode as he says: "Sorry but no witnesses."

A portal opens and Darius appears saying: "Good evening Coyote I have a new job for you." Coyote smiles and says: "Who is my target this time."

Darius shows a picture, Coyote smiles and says:

"Well, well, so he is the one, I haven't seen him in years…where is he?"

"Rio Grande City...the Borderland…"

"Excellent...the Ysleta Pueblo is located there…"

"I can count on you…"

"Sure thing, I will make it quick…"

"Well, you are the Greatest Bounty Hunter; Sundance Coyote Bill…"

Darius opens the portal; "In two weeks, head towards the Borderland...there will probably be a great event there and I want you to participate…"

Coyote lights a cigarette and replies; "Indeed I am...get ready Rio Grande City...it's time for the hunt to begin…"

***************************************************************************

March 3rd, Rio Grande City Airport

Passengers of Flight 02161917….Welcome to Rio Grande City

It's early morning...

A man with a large coat and a formal hat comes out of the plane, he has white hair and wrinkles on his face with an eyepatch on his left eye. He walks down the aisle as he approaches the exit. Suddenly, a boy playing with a car bumps into him.

"Ouch, sorry mister…"

The man looks at him, frightening the boy, he gets closer and gives him the toy car and smiles; "Don't worry son, here keep playing with it and here, go buy yourself an ice cream with this…"

The boy smiles and stands up; "Thank you, Mister"

"No worries son, be careful!"

The boy runs away, soon, the man sighs and his expression returns to a serious one. He stands up and continues to walk towards the entrance. The man walks outside and lights a cigarette, he enjoys it as he looks at the sky; "It's been more than 50 years since I was here...things have changed...but not in a good way…"

The man continues smoking as he looks around and finishes his cigarette; "So, I assume you are the one who is going to help me?"

Standing behind him, a figure with a black coat and a skeleton mask with a red stripe crossing its face, what's mysterious about him is that people still walk past him without noticing him, only the man with the eyepatch; "Indeed, sorry but can we move to someplace high?"

"Very well…El Muerto"

The man with the eyepatch and El Muerto stand at one of the highest buildings of Rio Grande City...the sky is clouded with chances of rain. The wind is calm, permitting the man to light another cigarette…

"According to Darius, the target I was hired on finally decided to appear...am I right?"

"Indeed...I have been following the target throughout all of Central America...and it has been tiresome…"

"So the fires, the earthquakes and the floodings were all his doing?"

"That's right...that man wants vengeance against the world, he is blinded by Vengeance and stole an ancient artifact...one of the Sixteen treasures...the Gem of Kukulkan…"

"The Gem of Kukulkan? So Darius had it with him all along.." He continues to smoke, El Muerto takes a few steps; "That man's power has grown, Master Lucifugus sees him as a threat that will ruin his plan…"

"And that's why he contacted me? I don't understand...he has you doesn't he…"

"There is only a little that I can do...Master says that if I get involved more than necessary, there will be political problems between countries...that's why he wants you to take care of the situation…"

"Nathaniel Gonzalez, the mayor, knows about this?"

"No...that's why the Master wants someone who isn't involved directly with him to take care of this…"

"I see...well he did pay me so I have no choice...so you have a clue where he could be?"

"No.. I lost track when he entered the region but do not worry...I know someone who might know…"

"Who?"

"El Charro Negro…"

The man laughs and finishes his cigarette dropping it to the floor and steps on it; " El Charro Negro ehh...Juan's disciple is here?"

"Indeed, he lives in the Ministry of San Juan…"

"The Ministry of San Juan? So he is under the care of the Scarlet Sword Clemente…"

"You are correct, if you go there...you will find a clue about your target…"

"Perfect...I think I 'm going to enjoy this mission…"

"Master Darius counts on you...do not fail him or you will face the consequences...Coyote…"

The man with great speed points a gun at El Muerto; "What's your tone, I am the World's Greatest Bounty Hunter...remember that…"

"I apologize for my rudeness...I shall leave it to you…" El Muerto spreads black wings from his back and flies to the sky until he disappears from sight in the clouds…"

Coyote takes out his cowboy hat and smiles; "I wonder how strong is your successor, Juan...I think I shall play with him a little before I begin my mission…"

***************************************************************************

Ministry of San Juan; at the same time…

-♪ Mmhhmm ♫- Outside the Ministry, a beautiful women wearing a nun's attire, brooms carefully as she is humming with a smile on her face, she looks at the sky and says:

"Oh dear, it appears it's going to rain today…"

"U-u-ghhh...excuse me…" The sister looks to her left, a beautiful girl with brown skin, blonde hair and yellow eyes stands next to her. She is wearing a black short skirt with black stockings, on her upper body, she has a yellow sweater and gloves.

The sister smiles; "Oh...Tiwa...what a lovely surprise…"

"Uhhmmm…." Tiwa acts very shy, Carolina notices that and says; "Is there something you need?"

"I-I-uhhmmm….is Uriel doing okay?"

"He is…"

"Then, do you mind if I come in?"

"Oh...well, the thing is...Uriel…"

"SISTER...MOTHER SAYS SHE NEEDS HELP WITH…" Valerie with a smile as she yells, she comes out of the Ministry and sees Tiwa. Her attitude changes completely as her eyes turn hollow:

"Oh...it's this girl…"

Tiwa gets angry and says; "Hello, Valerie…"

"What do you want here? Alejandro is not here so get out…"

"What did you say? For your information, I came here to see your brother…"

Valerie gets angrier; "Oh...so Alejandro ignored you...so you are aiming for my brother...what a bitch…"

-TCH- Tiwa and Valerie stare at each other with anger. Sister Carolina puts her hand on her cheek; "Oh my...what should I do?"

Valerie and Tiwa have the same love interest, they haven't revealed it yet but both of them know who he is...Alejandro Sanchez...

"Want to fight?"

"Bring it on…"

"That's enough young girl…" Maria comes out, Valerie changes her expression and smiles; "Mama...why did you come here?"

"Well you took so long that I got worried…"

Tiwa looks at Maria, and blushes; " Is she Uriel's mother, she looks so young and beautiful…"

Maria turns and sees Tiwa; "Oh my, so you are Tiwa...it's a pleasure...I am Maria Di Fiore, are you Valerie's friend?"

"No, she is Uriel's friend not mine…" Valerie says with disgusts. Maria smiles; "Uriel huh…Well, why don't you come in and have some breakfast with us…"

Tiwa gets nervous; "Oh no...I'm sorry, I came here on a quick visit to see Uriel...is he home, by any chance?"

"I'm afraid not...he's training…" Maria replies as she changes her attitude, showing sadness.

"Oh...I see…" Tiwa lowers her head. Valerie mocks her thinking; "Fufufu...serves you right"

"But you can go look for him...he is training at the hills located at the back of the Ministry…"

Valerie looks surprised; "But mama…" Valerie tries to protest, Maria looks at her with hollow eyes and a "red aura" emerges from her; "Valerie, go help Carolina with breakfast…"

"Y-y-yes...Mama.." Valerie and Carolina enter the Ministry. Maria changes her expression once again, Tiwa looks at Maria with a surprised look as she thinks:

"Scary…"

"So, you want to go see Uriel?"

Tiwa lowers her head of embarrassment and nods in agreement. Maria makes a clap; "Splendid, then can you wait here for a moment, I need you to take something to him…"

"O-O-Okay…"

Maria enters the Ministry to get something for Uriel. Tiwa waits inside the building, she sees the three sisters in her uniform running to the door; "We're off...Bye bye"

"Bye bye girls, may God be with you…" Father Clemente waves at them. He looks at Tiwa and smiles; "If it isn't the little native girl, how've you been?"

"I-I-I've been okay…" Tiwa replies with a shy tone. Father Clemente decides to walk inside and says:

"Feel free to stay as much as you want…"

"Thank you…"

"Everyone here is so nice...except for Valerie…" Tiwa says to her spirits, Suma and Jana, who are accompanying her, both agree with her.

"So...Tiwa de Ysleta... you came to see Uriel right?" Tiwa hears the voice of someone behind her. She turns around and sees Daniel standing behind her.

"When did you…"

"Here, catch…" Daniel gives Tiwa a device, the device is a small cellphone with a red dot pointing at someone's location.

"What is this?" Tiwa asks. Daniel sighs; "It's a GPS that points at Uriel's location...you want to see him right?"

"Why are you giving me this?"

"Because, I want to...Farewell…" Daniel leaves the Ministry as he heads to school. Tiwa looks at the door as she thinks; "That boy, he is strong...I can feel it…"

"Sorry for the wait...please take this to my son…" Maria gives Tiwa a bag with two lunch boxes…"

"Oh...okay...I promise that I will deliver this to him…"

"Thank you dear...please take care…"

Tiwa takes off in search of Uriel with the help of Daniel's GPS….

***************************************

Back of the Hills…

Tiwa for some reason has the urgency to find Uriel...therefore she is in the quest of finding him….

"I hate to do this...it's so tiresome…" Tiwa complaints as she walks pass a hill.

"Come on lady Tiwa...hoot hoot…...You only walked for 5 minutes…the Ministry is just a few steps in the back…" Suma, her guardian spirit owl, says as he flies above her.

" Easy for you to say...you are flying…" Tiwa complains. A serpent appears on her shoulder; " Ssss...Mistress Tiwa...please stay strong...we need his help to find Zuni…"

"You're right Jana...I will keep moving forward…"

Tiwa and her spirits continued to walk in search of Uriel...After 15 minutes of walking up and down some hills….the GPS begam to ring…

(BEEP BEEP BEEP)

"What's this...the GPS is beeping…" Tiwa looks at the device, she looks at Suma and says:

"Suma fly higher and tell me if you see Uriel…"

"Right…" Suma flies higher, he begins to search for a young man but he doesn't see anything.

"I can't find him…"

(BBBOOOMMM)

Suddenly, tje ground begins to shake. Tiwa lands on her butt; "Ouch...what's going on?"

"LADY TIWA, A HILL IS MOVING ON ITS OWN…" Suma flies down, Tiwa and Jana are surprised:

" A hill is moving on its own...that's impossible...unless…" Tiwa stands up and begins to run towards the rumbling:

"There is only one person that can do that…."

Tiwa jumps to a tall hill to see the action. She lands on the peak and sees the hill moving on its own; "There…"

Tiwa jumps down and heads towards the hill. As she approaches the hill, she begins to see someone who is pushing it.

A young man with brown skin, muscular body, blue hair and greenish eyes. He has a scar in the shape of a claw on his left eye.

"I found you…Uriel... Tiwa says with a smile. She heads towards him.

Uriel is pushing the hill, he is covered in sweat and his veins are visible because of all the strength he is putting as he pushes.

Uriel finishes pushing. He breathes heavily.as he lands on his back. Uriel pushed the hill to a line that was drawn on the ground.

With his eyes closed, Uriel feels someone is approaching. He opens his eyes and sees Tiwa standing next to him.

"So this is where you were...the nerve…"

Uriel sighs; " I can see your panties…"

Tiwa, who forgot she had a skirt, panics and jumps back covering herself:

"WHAT THE HELL...YOU PERVERT…"

"Why am I a pervert...you are the one who was standing next to me…" Uriel says in a calm manner.

Tiwa controls herself and says; I guess you're right…"

"So...what do you want?"

Tiwa looks at Uriel's body and blushes; " I'll tell.you but first...please put your shirt back on…"

Uriel puts his dark blue shirt on. Tiwa, who is still red, thinks; " I never realized how hot he is…"

Tiwa shakes her head thinking;" No...no...he is the enemy...don't forget that…"

"Answer my question...why are you here?" Uriel.asks once more. Tiwa lifts her arm holding the bag and says:

"Here...you mom sent you this…"

"Thank you…" Uriel reads a note that said:

Hijo, here is your breakfast, I will send it with a beautiful young lady. Be please good to her and give her the second plate. One more thing, be sure to always behave like a gentleman…

Uriel chuckles, Tiwa looks at him weird; "Why are you laughing…"

"It's nothing...here...my mother wants you to eat this…"

"Hmmpphh...I don't need you food…" Tiwa looks away acting like a diva.

(GGGRRRRR)

Her stomach begins to growl, suddenly, her face turns red as a tomato. She slowly walks towards Uriel and grabs the plate and the juice box.

Uriel and Tiwa breakfast sitting in one of the boulders next to the hill that Uriel was pushing. The breakfast consists of scramble eggs with bacon and spinach on the side, with a couple of home-made tortillas. They also have a juice box to drink. Tiwa eats with delight; "Delicious, your mother is an excellent cook…"

"Thank you…Hey didn't you have school today?"

"No...technically, I am still suspended for what I did on the night the Chupacabras attacked…"

"Really? But that was almost a month ago?"

"Yeah, but Principle Lucifugus said that she did not want me in school until March 6th…"

"I see..well, I will also return on that day, it's probably something they are planning but I don't have time for that…"

Tiwa is looking at the hill; "Hey, were you pushing that with your own strength...because I don't sense any manna coming from it…"

"Yeah...I was training to make my body stronger…"

"REALLY, BUT THAT HILL IS HUGE...AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE USING BRUTE STRENGTH…"

"Is there something weird about it?"

"Of course it is...I mean you are just a teen, technically…"

"Yeah but I am not a normal teen…"

Uriel replies, Tiwa stops yelling and thinks about it; "Oh...yeah…sorry"

"So what do you want?" Uriel asks as he continues to eat breakfast. Tiwa remembers and says; "Well, the thing is...I need your help?"

"My help? That 's weird...didn't you tell me the day we met that we were enemies?"

"Of course you are...we are mortal enemies because El Charro Negro destroyed my tribe…."

"But that wasn't me...it was one of my predecessors."

"Yeah, I know duh...but you are still El Charro Negro…"

"You got a point…"

"So, about my request, I need you to help me find something that was stolen from me…"

"What was stolen from you?"

"It's just that it wasn't really stolen, it's more like I lost it…one of my mediums…"

"You medium?"

"Yeah mediu...you know the object I use in order to focus my power with my guardian spirits...as a Shaman priestess, I have the ability to do it...don't tell me you forgot?"

"Yeah, I did…" Uriel drinks from his juice. "DAMN YOU!" Tiwa screams with anger. She calms down and Uriel looks at her and asks:

"So you lost your medium, but what does it have to do with me? I didn't steal it you know?"

"Yeah I know...it's just, during the dance, a tube from the air conditioner fell and I was hit with it losing consciousness. It was then when I lost my medium…"

"And I am responsible because…"

"Because I was impersonating you, remember? If it wasn't for you...I wouldn't have lost it…"

"I see...well I guess I have no choice…" Uriel stands up, Tiwa looks surprised as she thinks; "That was fast…"

"So are you going to help me?"

"Yes…"

Tiwa smiles and says; "Thank you…"

"However, I need to go to my house to get change…" Uriel extends his hand and focuses on manna. Suddenly, a red portal opens causing Tiwa to be alert.

"What are you doing?"

"I am opening a portal at the front of the ministry. Take my hand and let's go…"

"Ehh??" Tiwa blushes, "W-W-Why should I grab your hand?"

"Because I am the only one who can pass through the portal...come on"

"No I refuse...I rather walk…"

Tiwa crosses her arms and avoids looking at Uriel. Uriel sighs and with great speed carries Tiwa; "Hey wait…"

"I don't have time for that…" With great speed Uriel and Tiwa cross the portal towards the Ministry.

***************************************************************************

After returning to the Ministry...Uriel took a bath and changed his clothes...As he finished tying his shoes, Maria, his mother entered the room…

"Are you going out Uriel?" Maria asks with a worried expression. Uriel finishes tying his shoe and stands up; "Yes mother, I promised Tiwa I would help her look for something she lost…Where is Valerie?"

"She went to Sun City...she went with some of her friends, shopping…"

"I see…"

"Uriel, I don't mind you helping her, but I must ask you to please be careful, it pains me seeing you injured like that…"

Upon hearing those words, Uriel looks at the ground thinking; "She...is worried about me…" Uriel decides to walk through the door and says; "I'm heading out…"

Maria smiles; "Be careful, hijo"

Uriel walks in the corridor thinking about Maria's words, Father Clemente appears from the other corridor and says; "Uriel, can I speak with you for a moment?"

Uriel nods in agreement, Father Clemente begins to speak; "Uriel...I understand that you have your mission and that you are strong enough to protect yourself...however…"

Uriel hears his words, Clemente continues to speak; " Uriel, you are not alone anymore...please don't try to do things by yourself...you may not care but you make your family worried and that's including me…"

"You father? But I am an agent of evil…" Uriel tries to test Father Clemente and hear his answer; "That may be true, however, you are also part of the Ministry of San Juan, meaning that you are my family as well…"

Uriel is surprised upon hearing those words; "Is that so?"

Father Clemente grabs his shoulders and says; "Uriel,when ever you are in trouble, don't hesitate in calling me...I won't hesitate in giving you a hand, I don't care if you are El Charro Negro…"

"I see…" Uriel begins to walk the corridor again, he stops and says; "Thank you...Father…"

Father Clemente smiles and continues to walk in the other direction. Uriel goes to the kitchen and sees Tiwa. Tiwa blushes to see his outfit.

Uriel's outfit consists of blue jeans, a red shirt and a black jacket. Uriel looks at Tiwa and says; "Sorry to keep you waiting...now then, shall we go?"

"Y-Y-Yeah…" Tiwa agrees, Uriel and Tiwa walk out of the Ministry. Uriel looks at the sky and think; "It's going to rain…" He looks at Tiwa and asks; "So, Tiwa, where do we start looking?"

"We need to look for a person…"

"A person?"

"That's right...I know her location...but I need your help…"

"Her? You mean you already found her? So why do you need my help?"

"Well, she has a crush on you...so we are going to use that advantage…" Tiwa chuckles, Uriel looks at her suspiciously and asks; "Who is that person?"

**************************************************************************

Rio Grande City; Campestre

In the east side of Rio Grande City, there is a private neighborhood that only the Elite of Rio Grande City live, it's called Campestre, and located in a giant house, a girl is gently opening her eyes…

"Mmmhhpphh" A girl opens her eyes and sees the ceiling, she stretches her body and slowly stands. The girl walks sleepy towards the bathroom, she takes a bath. Combs her hair, puts on some makeup and her glasses.

She looks at the mirror and with an optimistic attitude says; "Okay Victoria, today is going to be your day…"

Victoria Salazar is a 16 years old beautiful girl. She is a little taller, has a well developed body, with a larger breast, and larger hips. She has long red hair with a pony tail hanging on her right shoulder.

Victoria walks down the stairs to the kitchen, there, her father is drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"Good morning Daddy…" Victoria with a smile hugs her father. "Good morning Victoria, did you sleep well?"

Victoria nods in agreement, her father smiles and says; "That's good to hear."

Officer Luis Rodriguez (Age 35) is an officer of the Rio Grande City police force, he is the commander, and he has brown skin with short black hair. He has yellow eyes and a mustache, he is wearing casual clothes.

As they eat, Victoria says something that makes Luis spit his coffee; "What did you say? You have a date?"

Victoria, who is very excited, agrees; "That's right...a date with the hottest guy at school...Uriel…"

"Uriel? I never heard that name before...who is he?"

"He is a transfer student, he just transferred for like a month or so...but he asked me out, we're going to Las Misiones…"

"Okay...and when will you meet him, is he going to pick you up?"

"What? No...I told him to meet up there because that's so old fashion…"

Luis sighs; "Ay mija, call me old fashioned but next time, make him come and pick you up okay…"

"Alright papa…" Victoria finishes eating breakfast and gets ready to leave.

She has a very hyperactive personality despite having lost her parents five years ago. Officer Rodriguez was the one who saved her and decided to adopt her and make her his daughter

"Victoria please be careful okay...and promise me that you stay out too late…"

"You worry too much papa...don't worry…" Victoria kisses his forehead and heads to the door; "BYE BYE"

"Oh I almost forgot…" Victoria grabs a medallion and shuts the door.

Victoria leaves, Officer Rodriguez finishes his breakfast as he keeps thinking:

"Uriel, Uriel...where have I heard that name before…"

Suddenly, memories of the night that the Chupacabras' attack fly striaght to him. Officer Rodriguez drops the coffee as he trembles; "Uriel...that young man...he…"

He stands up and quickly puts his police uniform on saying; "I must protect my daughter, that young man is dangerous…"

***************************************************************************Rio Grande City; Las Misiones

It's 12pm the same day in Las Misiones (The Missions)...Las Misiones mall is a great establishment like any other, has multiple stores, and restaurants….it had two floors and a movie theatre… Located in the food court, Victoria waits patiently for the arrival of her beloved date…

The students from Sun City don't have class but the ones in Rio Grande City do...that's why the mall is very empty at that hour...

Victoria is wearing a short white skirt and a red blouse that shows her curvy body. She is writing at her cellphone and looking at her social media while she waits.

"So let me get this straight...you have been texting Victoria using my name as an alias...you convinced her that I will have a date with her?"

Tiwa apologizes; "That's right...I'm sorry, but it was the only thing I could do...I figured out that she has my medium and she has a crush on you…"

Uriel sighs and says; "Well I guess it's fine, I did make you transform as me and you lost your medium with me…"

"Yeah...so try and be a gentleman, have fun with her...meanwhile, I will camouflage myself and try to take the medium, after I successfully retrieved it, I will make you a signal...got it…"

"You know that nothing always goes as planned, okay…" Uriel says to Tiwa, Tiwa slaps his back saying:

"Don't worry, everything will be fine…now go on you casanova…"

Tiwa pushes Uriel, Uriel walks towards Victoria, he takes a deep breath and thinks:

"I guess I have no choice…"

Uriel decides to walk towards Victoria. "Yes...now that he agreed, Injust need to find an opening…" Tiwa takes out a medium, the medium is a green bracelet in the shape of a serpent; " Okay...Jana...camouflage…"

"Right...Mistress Tiwa…" Tiwa slowly begins to turn invisible. Meanwhile, Victoria looks at her cell phone and sighs:

" It's been 10 minutes...I guess he…"

"Sorry for the wait...did you wait long?" Uriel appears behind her and grabs her shoulder, Victoria panics:

"Waahhh...Uriel, I didn't see you coming…"

"Well, you were looking at your cell phone…"

"Own...that's right...silly me…" Victoria laughs nervously…"

There was an awkward silence for a moment. Victoria is really nervous as she asks:

" So...uhmm...do you want to walk around?"Uriel asks Victoria, "Sure…" Victoria says with excitement. Tiwa, who is invisible tries to grab her purse; "Almost there…" But Victoria grabs her purseand prevents her from grabbing:

"Damn it...so close…"

Uriel and Victoria walk around the mall, Victoria looks at Uriel and tries to grab his hand:

"If only...I could...slowly…"

Uriel turns around and sees her; "Is something wrong?"

(GYYYAHHH)

Victoria moves away as she is surprised; "Victoria?"

Victoria quickly comes to her senses; "No...no, everything is alright…"

Uriel and Victoria walked around the mall, looking at stores...pet shops and restaurants until they arrived at the movie theater…

"Oh look...that movie is so romantic…" Victoria says as she looks at the poster fascinated, Uriel.stands next to her and asks; "Do you want to watch it?"

"Really?" Victoria asks with excitement, Uriel nods with a little smile. Uriel and Victoria who is grabbing his arm head to the movie theater. Tiwa who is following them notices and says; "Excellent...nice thinking Uriel…"

Tiwa follows them to the Theater….

***************************************************************************

At the cinema...Uriel and Victoria watch a movie together, there aren't a lot of people because it is a romantic movie...meanwhile, Tiwa slowly approaches Victoria…

"This is so romantic, right Uriel?" Victoria says as she looks at the movie, Uriel nods in agreement as he also looks at the movie. He slowly moves his eyes to his left as he knows that Tiwa, who is invisible, is moving behind them.

A small piece of paper slowly drops into Uriel's hand that says:

DISTRACT HER….I'LL MAKE MY MOVE…

Uriel looks at the invisible Tiwa and shakes his head. In order to distract Victoria, Uriel holds her hand.

"What are you doing?" Victoria asks embarrassedly; "I just thought you were cold that's all…" Uriel replies, causing Victoria to look at him with heart shaped eyes.

(GGGYYAAHHHH)

Tiwa uses the opportunity to slowly grab her purse and search for her medium as she thinks; "Where is it...it must be here, somewhere…"

"I need to go to the restroom…" Victoria grabs her purse and runs to the restroom. Tiwa is left with her arm stretched; "WAAIITT…"

"Did you get it?" Uriel asks Tiwa, she turns visible and shakes her head. Uriel sighs and says:

"Then go get it in the bathroom now…"

Tiwa turns invisible once more and runs to the bathroom.

At the bathroom, Victoria washes her hands and she looks at the mirror, she notices that she is very red and thinks:

"GGYYYAAHH...I'M SO EMBARRASSED RIGHT NOW...I THINK I CAN END UP KISSING HIM…"

(BBOOOMM)

The door of a toilet opens by itself, Victoria turns around and says; "Who's there…" Suddenly, her purse fell into the ground causing the things she had inside to come out. Tiwa who is invisible searches for the medium, however, she notices it's not there.

"WHERE IS MY MEDIUM...ZUNI…"

Victoria hears the voice of Tiwa and with a face full of shock stand up; "WHO IS THERE...THIS ISN'T FUNNY…"

The door of the bathroom opens by itself causing Victoria to scream and run outside. Tiwa turns visible again and sighs; "If it's not there, then where is it?"

(GGGYYAAHHHH)

Uriel hears Victoria screaming and with great speed runs towards her. He arrives at the women's bathroom where he sees Victoria sitting in the ground scared. Uriel quickly asks:

"What happened?"

"Uriel, there is a ghost in the bathroom" Victoria replies as she hugs Uriel. Uriel notices Tiwa, who has a piece of paper that says:

MEDIUM NOT IN THE PURSE...MEDIUM IN HER PERSON…

Uriel sighs once more and grabs Victoria's hand; "Let's go outside…"

***************************************************************************

Uriel took Victoria to the food court where he got her an ice cream cone in order for her to calm herself....

"Are you feeling better?" Uriel asks Victoria who has tears in her eyes and nods in agreement.

"Uriel, do you believe in ghosts?" Victoria asks Uriel. Uriel doesn't respond, Victoria looks down and says; "You think I'm crazy right?"

"No...I do believe in them...Victoria by any chance, are you carrying something that is not yours?"

Victoria remembers the medallion, she takes it out and says; "I have this...Uriel, it's yours right?"

Tiwa notices and says; "Zuni…"

"That's right, it belonged to my Grandpa...I lost it when I saved you that night…"

"I...already knew...I have been keeping it safe until you accepted going on a date with me…"

"I understand…"

Victoria looks at Uriel with shyness and asks; "Uriel...do you hate me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"It's just that when we met...you treated me badly and all of a sudden, we are on a date...I think you just want to get revenge because of the way I treat Alejandro…"

Uriel looks at the transparent ceiling and replies; "I don't hate you…"

Victoria changes her expression to a surprised one; "Really?"

"That's right...but let me ask you...why do you hate Alejandro so much?"

"It's because...he often makes me remember my parents…"

"Your parents?"

Victoria stands up and walks a little, she turns around and begins to explain; "Five years ago...on the night of the Borderland Catastrophe...my parents died…"

Uriel opens his eyes wider, Victoria continues to speak; "My parents died because a building fell on top of them...I was adopted by the chief of the police of Rio Grande City...I don't hate Alejandro...in fact...we used to be friends...but he got obsessed in finding out the truth of that night that he made very uncomfortable questions...that's why…"

"I see...well, you are not the only one who lost everything that night…" Uriel says to Victoria, Victoria looks at Uriel and asks; "Did you lose someone as well…"

"I lost my father...and my memories…"

"Your memories?" Victoria gets closer to Uriel, Uriel avoids looking at her thinking; "Victoria, it was because of me..that you lost your parents…"

"I'm sorry…" Uriel apologizes to Victoria, Victoria shakes her head; "No...I'm sorry…"

"Victoria, please stop being mad with Alejandro...he is my friend...and I do not tolerate peole who act ill against him…"

Victoria smiles; "Okay, I won't...promise…"

"What?" Uriel is left confused, Victoria chuckles; " I said, I forgive Alejandro...if it makes you happy...I will be his friend again…"

"So fast...this girl didn't hesitate at all…" Uriel thinks to himsleg as he begins to laugh; " You're a strange one...you know that…"

"I could say the same…"

Both of them chuckle, Victoria, feeling anxious begins to play with her fingers; "So...uhmm...I wanted to ask you...if you could...please be...my...boy…."

"There you are hija…" Suddenly, a man wearing a police uniform appears behind Victoria, surprising her.

"PAPA'' Victoria reacts with surprise. Officer Rodriguez looks at Uriel and says:

"So, this is your date?"

"Y-Y-Yes...why are you here?"

"What? It's only natural for a father to worry about his daughter right?"

Officer Rodriguez takes out a bill and says; "Victoria, can you please bring me a lemonade?"

"But Papa…"

Please, when you bring it...I will be going, I promise…"

"Oh alright…" Victoria grabs the bill and apologizes to Uriel. After she goes for the lemonade, Officer Rodriguez grabs Uriel's shoulder; "Follow me…"

************************************************************************

Uriel and Officer Rodriguz headed to the construction site of the mall…

"Now then..." Officer Rodriguez takes out his gun and points at Uriel.

"What 's this? You're pointing your gun at a minor? Are you that mad that I am dating your daughter?" Uriel smiles, Officer Rodriguez gets mad:

"Cut the crap...I know who you are...you're the one from the night of the attack right? Where all my unit was wiped out by that monster...and I saw you again during the Mayor's party, that monster attacked again...What the hell are you?"

"I don't know what you are talking about...I'm just a normal teenager…"

"Don't play dumb, I recognize that scar on your eye anywhere...are you a demon?"

"Demon?" Uriel chuckles; "No...I'm not a demon...I'm something worse…"

Officer Rodriguez prepares to fire; "Tell me, what do you plan to do with my daughter?"

"Nothing...I just need my medallion back, she has it and I want it, once she gives it back, I'm gone…"

"So you are just using her? YOU'RE EVIL….NOBODY USES MY DAUGHTER…"

Officer Rodriguez screams, Utiel chuckles:

"It's a good thing you care about her so much...but let me tell you something...Yes...I am the one who saved you that night...On that night you were supposed to die remember….but I saved you…"

-TCH- Officer Rodriguez lowers the gun as he remembers what happened that night, tears begin to come out of his eyes.

" I saw everyone die that day...including my best friend...I also wanted to die...but I remembered Victoria, she is my precious daughter...Boy...Thank you…"

"No need to thank me...I just saved because as mere coincidence, nothing more…"

"Even so...I am alive because of you…Thank you…"

Uriel sighs; Officer Rodriguez smiles and says:

" I don't know what your secret is...but you are a good person and I approve that you date my daughter…"

Uriel opens his eyes wider; " Wait...that's not…"

(CCCCRRRAASSSHHHH)

(GGGGYYYAAHHHHH)

Suddenly, a loud crash is heard at the food court. Uriel and Officer Rodriguez see the glass ceiling falling.

"Wait...that's where…"

Officer Rodriguez begins to run as he screams; "VICTORIA!"

********************************************

A few moments before…

"Oh papa...how could you arrive at the moment I…." Victoria who is blushing shakes her head really fast; "No...calm down Victoria, it's just the first date...plus...I know that we don't share the same feelings…" Victoria with determination lifts her head; "It's now or never, I'm going to ask him out…"

"Hey you...give me back my medallion…" Victoria hears a voice, she looks around but nobody's there. Without warning, an arm appears out of nowhere and grabs her arm; "Gyahh a ghost…"

Tiwa suddenly reveals herself; " I've been waiting patiently, I want my medallion back…"

"Oh it's you Indian girl, let go of me...and how did you appear out of nowhere…"

Tiwa grabs her neck; "Give me my medallion"

"Stay away from me...and that medallion is Uriel's. I will give it to him and he will be my boyfriend...jealous?" Victoria acts like a diva.

"Hahaha…" Tiwa laughs, Victoria gets angry; "Why are you laughing...it isn't funny…"

"Boyfriend? It appears you don't know him at all...Uriel is only toying with you...he and I are working together to get my medallion back…"

Victoria denies it and steps back; "Lyer, Uriel.would never do that...we've texting…"

Tiwa takes out her phone and shows the messages that they shared; " You mean these?Come one Victoria, think about it for a moment, since when has Uriel.ever talked to you? You love in a pink bubble...snap out of it...Uriel doesn't care about you….the date was my idea…"

Victoria falls into her knees and cries; " No way...you are lying...you are…"

"I've had enough...Give me my medallion or I'll take you down…" Tiwa makes a claw appear on her right hand and walks towards her with fury.

"NO...STAY AWAY…"

(CCCCRRRAASSSHHHH)

The glass ceiling breaks into pieces and they start falling towards the mall.

(GGGYYYAAHHHH)

People scream as they run away, a glass falls directly to Victoria; " Look out…"

Tiwa breaks the glass avoiding it to hit her. Victoria and Tiwa look at the ceiling; "Who is that?"

Tiwa opens her eyes wider. Her breathing starts to go faster as she feels anxiety. She falls into her knees as she trembles:

" No way...why is he here? Why is he alive?"

Standing at the ceiling, a man dressed as a cowboy, he has blue colored pants, a brown vest and a cowboy hat with a bandana on his neck. He has an eyepatch on his left eye and he is smoking a cigarette

"VICTORIA"

"TIWA"

Uriel and Officer Rodriguez arrive where the girls are. "Papa…"

"Hija, are you alright?"

Victoria nods in agreement, Uriel looks at a frightened Tiwa; "Tiwa what's wrong?"

"C-C-Coyote…"

"HOWDY BOY...I FINALLY FOUND YOU...CHARRO NEGRO…" The man jumps towards their direction. He uses his whip and wraps it in the ceiling permitting him to swing and land in front of them.

Uriel stares at him thinking; " This feeling...that man is dangerous…"

The man walks towards him; " Uriel Di Fiore…Juan's successor...it's a pleasure…"

"Who are you?"

"Rejoice because you're in front of a living legend…the World's Greatest Bounty Hunter; Sundance "Coyote" Bill…"

Uriel remembers reading about him in his History book. He also remembers that Juan de la Trinidad once commented about hum.Uriel looks at him with a frightened look; "Sundance "Coyote" Bill? This can't be...he was alive 200 years ago...how come you're saying to be him?"

"Coyote Bill...there is a statue of him located at the entrance of the City…" Officer Rodriguez says as he looks with fear.

"Indeed...you are correct muchacho, I am he...and I came here to say hello…" Sundance finishes his cigarette. Victoria looks at him and says:

"This old man...he appears in the History books.." Victoria looks at him with anger:

"Hey old man...stop saying stupid things...you are saying that you are a deadman? Prove it…"

Sundance laughs, he walks slowly towards Uriel and Tiwa. Tiwa who is trembling begins to move back; "STAY AWAY! YOU MONSTER!"

Uriel looks at Tiwa thinking; "Tiwa, what's wrong with you?"

In A blink of an eye, Sundance appears in front of Uriel and without giving him any chance of reaction kicks him with force.

(BBBBOOOMM CCCRRAASSSHHH)

Uriel flies towards a food stand destroying it completely. Everyone is in shock; "UUURRRIIIEELLL" Victoria screams, Officer Rodriguez begins to fire his gun.

(PIU PIU PIU)

Sundance evades the bullets and stands in front of him; "You know lad, if you want to fire a gun, you must be man enough to fire without hesitation and also be sure to be well prepared to receive one yourself…"

(BBBBAAANNNNGGGGG)

Officer Rodriguez suddenly feels warm in his stomach, he looks down and sees blood coming down his stomach; "What the…"

Officer Rodriguez slowly falls into his knees, Sundance sighs; "Hay muchacho, you police officer all alike, you think because you have a uniforme, you are invincible but know this...you are not…"

"PPPAPPPA" Victoria screams as she runs towards her father, Sundance grabs his lasso and spins it. He throws it towards Victoria and ties her up.

"That was easy...unless...you can do something about it...Charro Negro…"

Sundance sees Uriel slowly walking towards them, Uriel who changed into a partial Charro mode consisting in his blsck pants and white buttoned shirt without his hat or his gloves. He isn't wearing his coat, only his vest.

"Coyote, let her go…" Uriel charges at Coyote, Coyote smiles and blocks Uriel's punch with ease.

(PPPUUMMM)

"Not bad, however, it's still not enough…" Coyote punches Uriel's stomach. -PPPUUMM- "Auggh…" Uriel breathes heavily, Coyote kicks him once more and sends him flying.

"UUURRIIIEELLL...LET ME GO!!!" Victoria screams, Coyote knocks her unconscious. Coyote looks at Uriel and laughs:

"Man, you sure are weak, no wonder Juan is looking for your replacement…"

"Damn you.."

"Charro Negro, search for me, I want to talk to you about something ion private, I will take this girl as a hostage. Come at sunset…" Coyote throws a piece of paper with an address for Uriel.

Coyote slowly walks away, carrying Victoria. Uriel falls to his knees and punches the ground.

"Damn it, how come I am so weak...Damn it…"
