Chapter 1
It was a regular day, just like any other in Sin Esperanza, a small town on a small island off the coast of Spain. There he was, Diego Zepeda, fast asleep on his bed, snuggling his pillow and mumbling sounds. His best friend, Catrina Reyes bust in through the door and jumped on Diego.
"DEE! WAKE UP, IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" The tan redhead had said as she shook the sleeping one vigorously.
"WHAT!? WHAT HAPPENED!? BANDITS?! VILLIANS?! MUTATIONS!?" He had replied.
"WORSE! YOU SLEPT IN, WE ONLY HAVE TEN MINUTES TO GET TO SCHOOL, AND WE CANT MISS THE FIRST DAY!" They then didn't speak, just screamed and ran, Diego getting his clothes and supplies together. He sees his mom and dad as he rushes by them and out the door. They both ran outside and saw the leaving bus, and since Catrina was naturally faster than Diego, she got on the bus before it left and then started to leave again. He ran after the bus as fast as he could and his face had met with the back of it. The door opens and Cat holds out her hand.
"You're welcome for stopping the bus driver, by the way." Diego takes her hand, nods to her, and gets on the bus. He scratches his heads through his black looking but brown hair, and then looks to the Hall of Heroes, Seeing one of the most legendary heroes that had ever walked the lands of Spain…El Tigre, he looks just as Diego remembered him…as he is descendant to the legend, and for that is grateful for every waking day, but he believes that somewhere inside him, is the hero his mother is, but still be as bad as his father. He looks to the shaking Cat.
"Hey Cat, what's wrong?"
"What if we get into school and they don't like us? Then what would we do about it? I mean, this is supposed to be the best grade!" She replied.
"If no one likes us, ill destroy them! HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAHAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!" They laugh, not realizing that they were being stared at. They get off the bus and into the school.
"Alright Cat, what's your schedule?"
"Um….Math, L.A., L.A. Plus, Specials, Lunch, Soc. Studies and Science."
"Me too!" They laughed and went to their classes. They found themselves in the principal's office, their parents are there.
"DIEGO BARBOSA SANDRO RODRIGUEZ DMITRI VEPEDA, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY!?" His mother had yelled. He replied with.
"Uh…I didn't do it?" He smiles guiltily. "Well it's not my fault, the guy saw the chicken leg flying, and he should have caught it!"
"You're not in here because of the food fight; you're here because of a REAL fight!" Principal Horne angers more. I look to Cat and her parents, as me and her are in the same position.
"Oh…that…" An hour before, he walked into social studies class, he got a really bad vibe about this black haired girl, but he was assigned to sit next to her, as Cat sat across from him.
"Alright! Now, who can tell me who Leonardo Da Vinci was?" Diego raised his hand, and was called.
"Leonardo Da Vinci was a famous inventor, famous for inventing millions of things that are in this world today. War machines, planes, you name it, and he made it." The girl then spoke.
"Show off…" She giggled as the rest of the class did.
"Knock it off, now can anyone say why he wasn't exactly the best with sharing his thoughts?" The black haired girl raised her hand.
"Yes, Janus?"
"He didn't want to share his ideas because he was afraid that the military would make weapons of his ideas."
"Book worm…" Diego giggled as did the rest of the class. Janus leaps out of her chair, as does Diego.
"You wanna go, kid? I promise you won't win."
"Here punch me right here." He pointed to his cheek. She punched him, and he got back up and pulled her hair, she kept hitting him, he then punched her in the gut. She elbowed him in the face. They both recover quickly and punch each other in the face, and they both are knocked out.
Present time
"NOT ONLY DID YOU FIGHT, BUT YOU HIT A GIRL!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS DIEGO!" His mother said, as his father was cracking up in the background. Diego changes the subject.
"Wait, why is Cat in trouble?"
"Well she started the food fight, did she not?" He remembers that he told her to throw a chicken leg at the weird looking kid. He looks to his parents.
"Uh…yeah that's right" He smiles. His father smiles and cries.
"*sniff* he makes me so proud." The mother looks to him and elbows him.
"I mean, you're in a lot of trouble mister! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, he is going to clean all inside my car tonight." Diego looks to his father so fast; that time had slowed in that moment.
"NOOOOOOOOOOHOOHOHOOOA ANYTHING BUT THAT! I'LL BE GOOD I SWEAR, ILL DO ANYTHING ELSE! PLEASE PAPI! I DON'T WANNA DIE!" He cries. His father walks into the room with Cat and her parents, and through the window, you can see the shadow of Cat pleading for mercy on the floor. You then can see he picks her up by the back of her shirt and walks into the room Diego is in and picks him up as well.
"Rosa, I'm gonna need your car"
"You're not gonna reward this kind of behavior while you're gone, are you?" Diego's mom asked.
"What? No! Don't be ridiculous, honey bloom." They walk out as she walks home. They laughed so hard in the car.
"HAHA! THE LOOK ON PRINCIPAL HORNE'S FACE WAS PRICELESS!" Diego's father replies.
"WHAT WAS PRICELESS WAS THAT ACTING! YOU WERE LIKE, UH PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, I STILL HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A TATOO!" They all laugh more; enjoying the time they had with "El Lobo Negro" or "The Black Wolf"
"Now, who wants ICE CREAM?" They all yell yay, as El Lobo turns to a different direction (Breaking most traffic violations f.y.i.) The police chase them down, as Diego and Cat in the back are cheering him on, he makes a hard turn and they start screaming in joy, as on a roller costar. He quickly orders three ice creams, circles the ice cream place, and grabs the ice creams. The car is gone, as the police leave, the car becomes visible again.
"DAD THAT WAS AWESOME!"
"I know, praise me, now let's go home before your mom does and do another play!" They all agree, as he drives to their house. Minutes later, the mother gets home and walks in to seeing her husband yell at the kids to do a better job, and they run into the kitchen.
"You went for ice cream and got caught breaking rules, didn't you?"
"WHAT?! NO, WHAT GIVES YOU THAT IDEA, THAT'S STUPID!"
"Well then I guess there is a different El Lobo Negro?" She turns on the TV and it talks about the crazy car chase where the car just disappears. El Lobo giggles.
"Well what do you expect? He'll make a fine villain someday"
"you mean hero"
"VILLIAN!"
"HERO!"
"VILLIAN!"
"HERO!"
Diego and Cat sneak outside while they argue, and they walk to the arcade.
"So, what's it gonna be, Dee?"
"I don't know it's just that…dads El Lobo Negro and mom is La Rosa Blanca, so what does that make me?" Diego sighs.
"Amazing, I mean, I wish that my parents were like yours." They slowly walk back home.
"Yeah but I haven't inherited anything from them."
"Well, your dad has the cloak of the wolf, and your mom has the hand of the guardian so…"
"Well I don't know I just-" He then sees someone in a hood, but not the man's face, he screams and goes unconscious. Cat is worried and brings him to the nearby cave, and tries to wake him up. He then does wake up.
"What happened?"
"You went unconscious; I didn't know what else to do…"
"Cat, Where are we?"
"…Cueva del Diablo…The Devil's Cave…"
