Fabiola runs as fast as she can, dodging every attack it makes to her. She crosses a hill and arrives at a small farm loathed at the outskirts…

The animals begin to panic as they sense the presence of the monster approaching waking up the farmer…

“Ha…ha…ha…” Fabiola runs as fast as she can -RRAAWWW- The Chupacabras flies at high speed towards her. Fabiola uses the opportunity and stands her lance on the ground:

“Take this…”

Fabiola creates a dust cloud, partially blinding the Chupacabras.

Fabiola tries to go around the farm when she is stopped by the farmer who came out with his flashlight:

“Hey, what are you doing in my farm at this hour?”

Fabiola notices the monster approaching them:

“Mister, you must go inside quickly there is a monster.”

The old farmer looks at her with a weird face:

“Little girl, are you pulling a prank, I will call the police!”

He grabs Fabiola’s hand and forces her to walk with him to the front of the house. Fabiola tries to break free, but the farmer won’t let go.

The farmer stops walking; “Who is that?”

A few meters in front of the house a figure with the appearance of a man wearing a cape walks directly at them.

“A friend of yours I see, you were pulling a prank, well now it’s over.”

The old man says to Fabiola. Fabiola let’s go of him and screams:

“Run away!!!!”

The man turns around and sees the Chupacabras spreading its wings and roars. -RRAAWWWW- The Farmer lets go of his flashlight; “Good God…it’s a demon…”

He looks at Fabiola:

“Run girl, you must flee”

The Chupacabras attack the old farmer and take him to the sky releasing a huge pressure sending Fabiola flying to the chicken coop.

(BBBBOOOMMM)

The chickens begin to flee of fear as well. Fabiola hides below one of the nest; “Damn it…what can I do?”

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

There is silence at first with Fabiola waiting for the monster to appear. For a couple of minutes, Fabiola slowly crawls in the coop trying to find another exit.

(BBBOOOMMM)

Suddenly, something falls in front of her. As the dust cloud clears, Fabiola wants to scream as she sees the farmer dead. She holds it by biting her lips with force.

The man turns to ashes. Fabiola notices the monster flying on top of her. The Chupacabras flaps its wings destroying the coop and sends Fabiola flying:

“GGGYYYAAAAHHHHH!”

Fabiola screams as she lands where the pigs are; “This is so gross…”

“Now come…my lance…” Fabiola extends her hand. The lance reaches Fabiola on time. Fabiola, who is covered in mud, prepares to fight the monster:

“BRING IT ON YOU STUPID BEAST…I WILL AVENGE MY SISTER!”

The monster overpowers her by flapping its wing, the monster sends Fabiola flying.

(BBBOOOOMMM)

“GGYYYAAHHHH” Fabiola lands on her back as she breathes heavily. The Chupacabras comes down and lands in front of her. Fabiola attacks with her lance but the Chupacabras dodges it with ease and grabs her by the neck:

“N-N-No, leave me alone…”

The monster begins to choke her; “N-N-No…I can’t die like this…Sister…please…help me…”

Fabiola is about to lose consciousness, suddenly she hears a scream:

“LEAVE HER ALONE!”

(PPPPUUMMMM)

All of a sudden, Alejandro appears and punches the Chupacabras with his left arm hurting it. The monster falls back.

“I knew it, my left hand did hurt him.” Alejandro reacts with excitement, looking at his hand.

(COUGH COUGH)

Fabiola coughs as she breathes once more. Alejandro holds her; “Are you alright?”

She looks at Alejandro who smiles moving his left hand. Fabiola panics; “GET AWAY YOU CREEP”

(SLAP)

Fabiola slaps Alejandro; “OUCH! HEY I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE YOU KNOW!” Fabiola comes to her senses; “Oh sorry…”

Fabiola stands up and looks at him angry:

“What are you doing here, you idiot...”

“Well I wanted to help so here I am...” Alejandro chuckles, Fabiola shakes her head:

"You're a giant idiot, you know that?"

(RRRRRAAAWWW)

The monster flies down, trying to attack Alejandro. Alejandro dodges the attack and wants to run:

"Holy crap! It's after me…"

Alejandro runs grabbing Fabiola's hand. Fabiola’s face turns red as she screams:

“LET GO OF ME!”

"We need to go back to the Mission...I'm sure we'll get some help…"

Chasing at high speed, the Chupacabras approaches, Fabiola notices; “GET DOWN YOU IDIOT!”

Fabiola pushes Alejandro down a hill. Both of them use the opportunity to roll down a hill.

The Chupacabras flies past them, and soars to the sky once more.

“Ha…ha…ha…” Alejandro and Fabiola use the opportunity to catch their breaths. As they rest, Alejandro looks at Fabiola:

"Thank you…"

Fabiola looks up angry; "That bastard is toying with us…"

"You think so?"

"Yeah, if he wants to, he could paralyze us in an instant…"

"That monster is a dick..." Alejandro stands up, he extends his hand:

"My name is Alejandro, it's a pleasure…"

"Huh…" Fabiola looks surprised:

"Are you crazy! We're on the verge of death being chased by a monster.."

"Well, I figured if I'm going to die, I might as well know your name right?" Alejandro chuckles scratching his head.

Fabiola burst into laughter; "Man you're not just an idiot, you're weird…"

Fabiola shakes his hand with a smile:

"My name is Fabiola…"

Alejandro smiles, Fabiola looks at him asking:

"Are you not afraid?"

"Of course…I’m terrified… but I saw you being brave so I gained courage to help you…"

Fabiola blushes, Alejandro sighs and asks:

"So, why are you so fixated on hunting that thing?"

"That monster took my sister away from me, I want to avenge her…"

"I understand but…"

(BADUMP)

Suddenly Alejandro feels pain in his left hand. Fabiola notices and says:

"Let me take a look…"

She takes off the bandage and notices that he has black veins in his hand, she opens her eyes wider as she notices black mana coming from his hand:

"This is bad, this is poison...but why?"

"I don't know, I just…"

(RRRRRAAAWWW)

The Chupacabras flies down towards them. Both of them dodge the attack by jumping in different directions, however both of them are blown away because of the wind.

(BBBOOOMMM)

“GYYYAAHHHH”Alejandro sees Fabiola near the cliff; “FABIOLA…HANG IN THERE…I’M COMING!”

Alejandro runs as fast as he can, grabbing her with his right hand.

Fabiola hangs on the cliff, below her there is a precipice. Alejandro feels weak because of the pain; “Damn it…I can’t hold on…”

Fabiola looks at the monster flying towards them. She looks up and sees Alejandro in pain:

"Let me go, or you'll die…"

"No, I couldn't live with myself if I did that…"

Fabiola with tears on her eyes smiles:

"Thank you...but this is my resolve…and I don't want you to die"

Fabiola lets go, and suddenly the monster grabs her. Alejandro screams:

"FFFFFAAABBBIIIOLLLLAAA!!!"

The Chupacabras begins to elevate into the sky and goes higher.

“I can’t breathe….” Fabiola slowly begins to lose consciousness because of the lack of oxygen.

Fabiola with the last of her strength points her finger up making the lance go straight to it:

“You dumb monster, I got you.”

(SSSLLLASSHHHH)

The lance makes a cut in the monster’s arm, releasing Fabiola.

Fabiola begins to fall at high speed making her remember an event from the past:

“M-M-Melissa…

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

A Few Months Ago…

On that tragic night…Fabiola sleeps soundly on her bed along with her other sisters…Suddenly, she hears a strange sound…

(BBBBBOOOMMM)

“What was that noise?” Fabiola goes to the window and sees Sister Melissa standing outside the mission:

“Sister Melissa…”

Fabiola runs outside and sees Sister Melissa bleeding from her forehead and grabbing a dislocated arm. Fabiola runs with great speed:

“MELISSA!!!”

Sister Carolina lies on the ground breathing heavily;“N-N-No…please…Fabiola…don’t…”

Sister Melissa sees Fabiola and opens her eyes wider; “Fabiola…stay away…”

(RRRAAAWWWWW)

All of the sudden, the Chupacarbras descend and roars with force, paralyzing Sister Melissa. Sister Melissa lets go of her lance.

(BBBAADDUUUMMMPPP)

Sister Melissa moves her head and sees Fabiola crying, she smiles at her one last time:

“G-G-Good bye…Fabiola…I-I-I love you…”

(RRRAAWWWW)

The Chupacabras takes Sister Melissa without any struggle and flies to the sky.

“NOOOOOOO!!!!”

Carolina stands up throws her Lance of San Marcos directly at the Chupacabras but the lands gets misdirect byu something; “What happened? My Lance…”

Sister Carolina sees someone in the shadows; “No way…”

“MELISA!!!” Fabiola tries to go after Melissa, Sister Carolina grabs her; “STOP…FABIOLA!!!”

Sister Carolina grabs Fabiola; “There is nothing we can do. My little one is gone now for the sake of us.”

Fabiola picks up the lance that Melissa always had along with a cross. She begins to cry calling her name as the monster and Melissa disappeared in the distance:

“MMMEELLLIIISSSAAA!!”

(RRRAAAWWW)

At that moment, a Sombra appears behind her. Sister Carolina panics; “FFFAABBIIOOLLAA!”

(SSSSLLLAASSHHH)

Fabiola slashes the Sombra in half; “DAMN YOU MONSTER!”

(SLASH SLASH SLASH)

Fabiola slashes the Sombra multiple times, purifying it. Sister Carolina looks at her with surprise; “Incredible…the lance…chose her…”

(BBBOOOOMMMM)

Fabiola releases a powerful light blue aura and after a few moments of somber, Fabiola’s sorrow turns into anger and determination. She lifts her head:

“Melissa, I swear I will protect my sisters like you once did...and some day, I will avenge you...”

From that moment forth…Fabiola became the owner of the lance and began training to avenge her sister…

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

Present…

(RRRRAAAAWWWWW)

Fabiola falls at great speed and the monster follows after her as it flies downward. Fabiola closes her eyes thinking; “Sorry everyone, it looks like this is the end for me.”

She begins to cry and holds Melissa´s cross tightly. As soon as the monster is about to grab her a mysterious figure appears and kicks it in the stomach.

(PPPUUMM)

At the same time it uses it as an impulse to reach for Fabiola who is about to reach the ground.

The mysterious figure catches up to Fabiola and holds her.

(PPPUUUMMMM)

The mysterious lands safely with Fabiola; “Are you okay?”

The young man asks Fabiola who opens her eyes, she opens her eyes wider:

“U-U-Uriel is that you?”

Uriel nods in agreement; “I am…” Uriel senses the monster approaching at high speed:

“I will have to put you down now…”

Uriel puts Fabiola down and clashes with the monster with a kick, sending it flying to the barn to the windmill.

(BBBBBOOOOOMMM)

The force of the wind makes Fabiola fly away to the haystack. She lies on the ground slowly opening her eyes and notices Uriel’s appearance.

Uriel is wearing a special charro suit, which consists of long, tight black colored pants covered with decoration on the sides. He has a long bolero coat with golden buttons white gloves, and a special pitea belt made of silk. He has a white button shirt with a black vest, a silk tie and a large round sombrero hanging from his neck.

"Holy crap is that Uriel?" Alejandro approaches them running.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Uriel looks at him surprised asking:

"What are you doing here?"

"He saved me from the monster... but.... he is an idiot…"Fabiola responds, Alejandro gets mad:

"Hey, I saved your life, don’t say that…"

“W-W-What are you wearing Uriel?”

Fabiola and Alejandro look at him in surprise. Alejandro has “stars” in his eyes:

"HOLY COW...THAT ATTIRE...DON’T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE EL CHARRO NEGRO!"

Uriel sighs, responding; "Man, you're weird…"

Uriel takes a few steps forward and replies; “Thats correct...I am El Charro Negro…"

Fabiola is in shock upon learning the truth. She nervously asks Uriel:

“So, are you evil?”

“Are you?” Alejandro reinforces the question.

Both Fabiola and Alejandro await an answer. Uriel turns around to see them:

“I don’t know...It depends on what you think, you can judge for yourself.”

Uriel releases a small aura; “Alejandro, stay by her side...”

Fabiola looks at him and blushes:

“He's so cool”

“Also please sit straight because your panties are showing.”

Uriel says to Fabiola, Fabiola looks down and she is showing her panties. She quickly sits straight and covers them.

Alejandro chuckles; “So…you like bunnies?”

(SLAP)

Fabiola’s face turns red and slaps Alejandro, she points at Uriel with anger and begins to scream:

“YOU ARE EVIL, AND A PERVERT, PERVERT, PERVERT”

Uriel chuckles:

“Sorry it wasn't on purpose.”

At that moment the Chupacabras comes out of the barn and begins to fly straight at them.

Uriel gets into position to fight; “Stay back and don't move.”

Uriel creates a special wind barrier surrounding her chanting:

“Barrera de Viento” (Wind Barrier)

“Wait…this is Miracolo…No way…he can use it too?” Fabiola looks at him surprised.

Uriel runs with great speed towards the monster. The Chupacabras strikes with a claw attack. -SSSLLLASSHH- Uriel dodges it with ease.

(PPPUUUMMM)

Uriel punches the monster's stomach sending it back. Uriel runs fast to catch up with it and begins to punch the monster's face multiple times, finishing with a kick sending the monster flying to the house.

(BBBBBBBOOOOMMMMMM)

The monster once again flies towards Uriel now with a roar attack blowing away the surroundings. Uriel begins to dodge every attack at high speed with a single step he appears in front of the monster and delivers a jaw hook blow sending the Chupacabras into the sky.

Uriel bends his legs and jumps going higher than the monster. He puts his hands together in the form of a fist and hits the monster´s upper back forcing it to the ground creating a huge explosion.

“Wow, he's so strong!”

Fabiola looks excited as she watches Uriel´s fight. Alejandro screams with excitement:

“HE SURE IS...MAN HE LOOKS LIKE A DBZ CHARACTER....”

Uriel walks slowly; “Now, time to finish this.”

He extends his arm and a crimson flame begins to sho.At that moment a cow flies towards his direction; “What the hell?”

Alejandro and Fabiola scream: “WWWWHHHAAAAAT AAA COOOWWW?”

“Mooooooo”

(CCCCCCCRRRRRAAAAASSSSSHHHHH)

The cow hits Uriel making him trip and fall. The cow is now on top of Uriel:

“Man, it's heavy”

Fabiola and Alejandro say at the same time:

“That's so lame!”

The barrier surrounding Fabiola suddenly disappears leaving her vulnerable. Uriel notices the Chupacabras heading straight towards Fabiola

Alejandro steps forward however he feels pain in his hand once again.

The monster flaps its wings blowing Alejandro away. The Chupacabras grabs:

“You will pay for hurting me…little girl…”

“What? He talked?” Fabiola slowly closes her eyes.

“NOOOO FFFAAAABBBIIIOLLAAAA” Alejandro screams, grabbing his hand.

Uriel gets the cow off of him and chases after the monster. Uriel summons a lasso and spins it. Fabiola with her last breath screams:

“UUUUURRRRIIIIEEELLLL HEEEELLLLPPPP MEEEEE!!”

Uriel throws the lasso and grabs the Chupacabras.

(RRRRAAWWWW)

Uriel jumps trying to grab her hand; “I will get you…”

(RRRRAAAWWW)

Just as he is about to touch her hand the monster notices flies back and kicks him, Uriel falls to the ground, Uriel uses his wind to make a small cut on the Chupacabras’ right wing.

(SSLLLAASSHHH)

The Chupacabras let's Fabiola go.-GGGYYAAHHH- Fabiola falls with great speed.

“Damn it “ Uriel is about to gather mana. Suddenly, mysterious figure jumps from a hill; a woman steps on Uriel´s back:

“Mind if I borrow you back?”

The woman uses Uriel´s back as a catapult and helping Uriel to fall faster and catch Fabiola:

“I caught you!”

The woman takes out her sword in the shape of a katana and Slashes the monster's back.

(RRRRRRAAAAAWWWW)

The monster roars with pain. The woman tries to attack him again, the monster dodges the attack by releasing mana from his mouth as a distraction.

“That monster…it’s really smart…”

“We will meet again…Charro Negro…” Chupacabras glares at Uriel, Uriel smiles:

“Very well…you damn monster…”

The monster begins to fly away disappearing in the sky. The woman lands on her feet in front of Alejandro. Alejandro stands and walks towards her:

“Thank you, I owe you one!”

“Don't worry I am just doing my job.” The woman responds.

The clouds make the moon shine again revealing their identities.

"W-W-What the hell?” Alejandro is shocked to learn that the woman who was wearing an orange kimono and a black coat was in fact the teacher Kasumi Miyazono.

“Ms. Miyazono, is that you?” Alejandro asks her.

“Alejandro…are you okay?” Kasumi asks Alejandro who has his mouth opened.

“Ms. Miyazono, why are you here?” Kasumi looks at Uriel. She opens her eyes wider as she is surprised as well learning that it was indeed Uriel:

“Is that you Uriel?”

Uriel nods at her. Kasumi gets nervous because her identity was revealed.

(BOING)

Fabiola glares at her:

“That woman, her breasts are really large...are they real?”

Kasumi notices Uriel in his Charro attire; “I’m sorry…I need to go…”

(BBBBOOOMMM)

She begins to blush and then she takes out her katana and slashes the ground creating a dust cloud and disappears.

Alejandro tries looking for her but she is already gone:

“Who was that Uriel?”

Fabiola asks with a tiresome face, Uriel then carries her in her back:

“She’s…our teacher…””

He grabs his hat and puts it in Fabiola´s head. Alejandro looks at Uriel and asks:

“Uriel, was that really the Chupacabras?”

“I don’t know...but Alejandro, what is that thing on your hand?”

Uriel looks at Alejandro’s hand, the black veins spread more around his arm; “Uriel, what’s going to happen to me?”

“To be honest, I am not sure...but, let’s take her to the Mission…”

“Sure…”

Uriel looks behind and notices that Kasumi was behind the rocks.

“I can’t believe it...heis El Charro Negro and Alejandro is with him...this is bad…” Kasumi says with a surprised tone.

(BEEP BEEP)

She makes a call to Carter and he answers the phone: “Mr. Carter, our suspicions were true that the monster was indeed the legendary Chupacabras, we are in big trouble....”

“Good work, is there anything else to report?”

Carter asks Kasumi. She lowers her head and closes her eyes:

“No, nothing else to report.”

“Very well let’s call it a night okay be careful” Carter hangs up.

“Uriel, who are you exactly? Alejandro, why are you with him?” Kasumi thinks to herself as she heads to her motorcycle.

"That was awesome...Uriel, you…" Alejandro looks tired as well; “I-I-I don’t feel so good…”

(BBBAAADDDUUUMMMPPP)

Suddenly Alejandro falls unconcious, Fabiola looks scared; "ALEJANDRO!"

Uriel gets closer to see what happen:

" It's okay, he's still breathing…"

"Thank God" Fabiola cries feeling relief. Uriel notices black veins in his left hand:

"I see, so I was right, this guy...is dying…"

Sister Carolina runs towards them:

“FABIOLA!”

“SISTER!” Sister Carolina runs and hugs Fabiola; “THANK GOD! THANK GOD YOU’RE ALIVE!”

“It was both of them…they save me…” Fabiola points at Uriel who looks at Alejandro. Sister Carolina approches Uriel:

“Uriel…I doubted at first…I thought you were evil…but tonight…you showed me the contrary…you risked your life to save my little sister…I am deeply grateful for your help…”

Sister Carolina cries and hugs Uriel, Uriel sighs; “No need to thank me…thank him…he was the true hero tonight…”

“Oh my…is he alright?” Sister Carolina looks at his left arm; “His arm…is he cursed?”

“It appears so…but his life is not in danger yet…”

“I see…then let’s take him back with us to the mission…”

Uriel carries Alejandro in his back and Fabiola in his arms:

"Let's go back…everyone is worried…"

Uriel, Fabiola and Alejandro who was unconscious returned to the Ministry

The two sisters hugged Fabiola with tears. Father Clemente thanked Uriel.

However, not everything was a joy, as Alejandro was unconscious and had a severe fever...

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

On the top of the building the guy in the mask meets up with Darius and Nathaniel Gonzalez.

The man appears with the girl with white hair and a cloak:

"It’s as you predicted… successor has arrived at the border land.”

Darius smiles and looks at the city; “That's excellent, our plan is going well.”

Nathaniel begins to smoke and asks:

“Should we worry about him killing the Chupacabras?”

Nathaniel Gonzalez (Age 50) is the mayor of Rio Grande City…he is a middle aged bald man; he has overweight and brown hair on his side with a brown mustache. He has brown skin and eyes as well.

“So what if he does?”

Darius says with a big smile. -TCH- The girl in the cloak gets angry, Darius looks at her:

“Don’t worry girl…that monster is invincible…I doubt he will die…”

“The girl turns around and walks away.”

“HAHAHA…I like her attitude…”

“So then what? My city is in complete terror because of it and I am losing money here…”

“Don’t worry…everything will be over soon enough…” The man in the mask replies Nathaniel as a black hole opens in his feet and slowly gets into the hole.

Nathaniel sighs with his eyes closed; “I hope you're right…” Nathaniel walks away. Darius looks at his hand:

“At last…I will get my revenge…Roberto…”

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

January 23rd; Mission of San Juan

Two days later….

It's been two days since the attack, Alejandro lies on a bed sleeping, He slowly opens his eyes:

"I see you're now awake…"

Uriel enters the room.

Alejandro slowly lifts his body; "U-Uriel is that you?"

Uriel stands next to the bed; "That 's right…"

"What happened to me?"

Uriel points at Alejandro's hand. Alejandro notices that it has a red thick bandage:

"What is this?"

"It's a seal, I don't know what happened to you...but you have been poisoned."

Alejandro opens his eyes wider. He remembers when he touched the key several days ago and the key disappeared. Uriel sits in a chair:

"Tell me what happened in detail…"

Alejandro lowers his head, he grabs confidence:

"I will...But first answer me this; Are you Uriel Vazquez?"

"...."Uriel doesn't answer at first.

"You look exactly like him, and you even have the same name… “Di Fiore” is from your mother, I know because I always spent time at your house when we were little."

"I see...so you know Uriel Vazquez…Hahahaha"

Uriel laughs, Alejandro gets angry:

"What 's so funny?"

"I'm amazed that's all, you seem to remember me well. You are correct I am Uriel Vazquez,at least I was…"

Alejandro cries; " I knew it…I always knew that you were alive my friend…"

He hugs Uriel; "Hey stop that…"

"Oh wow, just like the stories that Fabiola reads…"

Abril blushes as she spies on Uriel and Alejandro.

Uriel pushes him away; “Stop it or I will kill you…”

“Hahaha…very well my friend…let me tell you a story…”

Alejandro decides to tell Uriel everything.

After a few minutes…

"I understand...Now that I know about the Golden Key, I am predicting that you are now a target…"

"Wait what?" Alejandro is in shock, Uriel chuckles:

"Don't worry, I will protect you...from now on you will be living here in the Mission, Father Clemente gave us permission…"

"Wait what?" Alejandro is speechless on what he just heard:

"Hey Uriel? Do you think I'm weird?"

"What's with that question all of a sudden?"

Alejandro changes his expression to a sad one:

“Ever since you disappeared, I’ve been desperately trying to find my friend...however everyone thinks I am weird and now I have nobody...even Marjorie who I thought was my friend betrayed me...”

Uriel stands up and looks at the window:

“You are weird...but that’s not a bad thing because you followed your beliefs and I think that’s the best thing someone could do...”

Alejandro looks at Uriel with joy:

“Hey Uriel, can we be friends?”

“What the hell?” Uriel sees Alejandro with puppy eyes, he scratches his head and sighs with his eyes close:

“We are not friends...but we are colleagues on this mission...”

“Mission?” Alejandro looks confused.

“You see, that key is essential to stop someone, and you're going to help me…. My mission is to kill the man named Darius Lucifugus...”

Uriel changes his expression to a serious one, his eyes glare at the sky.

(GULP)

Alejandro takes a gulp as he asks:

“Why Darius?”

“Because he was the one responsible for everything that happened 5 years ago...”

Lightning falls and it begins to rain heavily. Uriel lifts his hand and continues to speak:

“I will eliminate all evil in this land...quite ironic isn't it...”

Uriel turns to look at Alejandro:

“But until that day comes, let’s have some fun...from this moment on, I am a member of the SIS...”

Alejandro looks surprised; “Really? But why?”

“You are the only one that remembers me, plus you have that lie in your hand that makes you an easy target...we will figure out a way to get that key on your hand...”

“Seriously?”

“That’s right...your suspension ends in a couple of days, when you return to school, come to the clubroom...you will see a great surprise...”

Uriel opens the door; "Keep the whole Charro thing a secret okay…"

“GGGYYYAAHHHH” The girls fall, Uriel leaves the room. Alejandro looks surprised:

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

Uriel walks down the hallway thinking:

“The Golden Key...that means the Legend of the Seven Cities of Gold exists...Father you were right…”

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

January 29th; Sun City International High School

A couple of days later, Alejandro’s suspension was over, he was permitted to return to school, however he didn’t receive a warm welcome...

“Hey, it’s the guy who punched Aleister?

Yeah, I heard that he was suspended...

“What an idiot...”

Alejandro sighs as he hears everyone talking, he enters the classroom. He sees Marjorie, Marjorie takes a glimpse at him but later avoids looking at him:

“I guess, things will never be the same...”

“Good morning Alejandro, you’re looking well...”

Alejandro hears an unpleasant voice, he feels chills down his spine, he turns around and sees Aleister. Aleister has a bandage on his cheek where Alejandro punched him. He has two big students on his side.

“....” Alejandro doesn’t say anything, Aleister with a sinister smile says with a loud voice:

“Ah come on, don’t you have anything to say to me, after all, you’re the one who punched me... Apologize...”

Alejandro looks around, he begins to feel the pressure of his peers as they say:

“Yeah he should apologize...he assaulted him...Apologize...Apologize...Apologize”

Alejandro feels nervous as he thinks:

“What do I do? Everyone is looking at me...Maybe I should apologize...”

Aleister smiles as Alejandro is about to apologize.

(PPPUUMM)

Suddenly, Uriel appears and bumps into Aleister, pushing him away.

“Oh, I’m sorry...”

Aleister looks angry, the two students stand in front of Uriel.

“Hey punk...”

“Relax, it was just a bump, right Uriel...” Aleister looks at Uriel, Uriel stares back at him. Uriel walks towards Alejandro and grabs his shoulder:

“There is no need to apologize, because the president is a good person, he already forgave Alejandro a while ago right?”

Alejandro looks surprised, everyone looks at Aleister thinking:

“That’s right, our president is the kindest person...”

-TCH-“Whatever, I lost interest, and Alejandro, I forgave you a week ago, I was just playing with you my friend.”

Aleister smiles thinking:

“Damn you, Uriel...”

(RRRRIIIINNNGGG)

The bell rings and class is about to start.

“Thank you, Uriel...”

“No problem...”

Uriel goes to his seat, Marjorie walk to him and says:

“Good morning Uriel...”

“Good morning...” Uriel gives her the cold shoulder. However, Uriel feels his heartbeat raising as he thinks:

“Why is it my heart reacting to her...why?”

Kasumi enters the classroom saying:

“Good morning, class is about to start.”

She looks at Alejandro and smiles. Uriel looks at her and remembers what happened that night:

“Kasumi Miyazono, who are you really?”

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

In the last period, Alejandro walks down the hallway, he looks nervous as he is about to reach the clubroom.

“Now what? There isn’t anyone there...”

Alejandro shakes as he reaches the doorknob. However he doesn’t open it:

“What should I do? In this school it is mandatory to have an organization. Now that I don’t have one then...”

“Hey, why aren’t you going in?”

Uriel asks Alejandro, Alejandro looks down:

“Well, I...”

Uriel sighs and walks forward, he approaches the door and opens it:

“Come on, let’s go...”

As they open the door, Alejandro is shocked, the room has completely changed.

The room is filled with books, it has a fancy table with chairs, the sunlight now shines in the room, and there are no posters.

The room has a sign in the top that says; “Historical Research Association”

On the table there is a girl with brown skin sitting next to it. She has hair and green eyes, she has puffy cheeks.

-Hhmmpphh- “What took you so long, sheesh I got tired of waiting...”

“What did you do to the room, and who is this girl?”

“What the hell, we have like three classes together, I’m Tiwa…Tiwa” Tiwa puffs her cheeks and looks away.

“Allow me to introduce you to the Historical Research Association. There are currently three members. This is Tiwa Smith, she is a Junior of this Highschool...”

“Heeeeeeellllllooooooo… I am a descendant of the great Ysleta tribe…I’m Tiwa de Ysleta...” Tiwa puffs her cheeks staring at Uriel.

Alejandro smiles at her; “I see, nice to meet you...but why did you change the room and the name....”

Uriel begins to explain:

“Allow me to explain, the SIS was banned, and because Tiwa and I didn’t have a club , we decided to form this club.”

“Really? Well I guess I don’t have a choice right...” Alejandro sits and grabs a cup of tea on the table. He looks at Tiwa and asks:

“So, why did you choose this club... I mean you look like the type that is popular right...”

“Well, You see...”

Tiwa plays with her fingers, acting shy.

“She doesn’t have any friends either, so she wanted to join you...”

“Oh, I get it now....”

Tiwa’s face gets red; “You get what...I told you I wanted a club besides...”

Tiwa acts shy again; “I am also interested in Paranormal activity...”

Alejandro smiles, Uriel begins to explain:

“The Historical Research Association has one objective; To investigate what happened 5 years ago in The Borderland...and to protect it from the beast known as the Sombras...”

"Sombras, you mean those beasts are Sombras?"

"That's right, those are beasts that still mana from people...they are vicious and powerful…" Tiwa explains, Uriel continues with the explanation:

"They are attracted to powerful manna and in this case, your left hand...that means that you are a target…"

"I kind of knew that…"

Alejandro scratches his cheek.

"The thing we fought the other night is not a Sombra...it's something far worse…"

"Oh really?"

"Sombras are spiritual beings and the monster is one of them… had a physical body...I investigated a little and Tiwa told me the true identity…"

Tiwa looks proud and explains:

"Now that you mention it, I did some investigation and found out that the monster is really…"

"A Chupacabras…" Uriel interrupts Tiwa, Tiwa looks at her with anger saying:

"Let me finish Uriel...sheesh…"

Alejandro chuckles, Tiwa sighs and continues to explain:

"The Chupacabras is a beast found in Southern Mexico, the fact that it's here is a mystery...either it came on it's own or someone brought it here…"

Alejandro stands up with excitement; “Oh wow, now this is exciting...our first task is to investigate about the Chupacabras...”

Alejandro raises his fist, Uriel makes a smile and bumps his fist. Alejandro looks at Tiwa who is embarrassed, she raises her fist with a shy expression and bumps with them.

“From today on, we are the Historical Research Association....”

The three agree, Uriel begins to think:

“Besides, I am also interested in Alejandro’s hand...that Golden key may be the thing I need to learn about my past...”

“I want that Golden Key... I will have it someday...” Tiwa chuckles as she drinks her tea.

Alejandro drinks from the tea as he smiles:

"Grandpa, Grandma...I’m truly happy because I found my best friend and I made a new one. I am not alone anymore...”

This is the birth of the Historical Research Association. The new club that will bring a massive turn of events that will forever change the Borderland...
