The Confederacy had fallen in love with her ever since they were young. Whenever he wanted to be Mexico's hero, and make her happy. Every time he saw her she was always paying more attention to America. Back when she was still Spain's colony he would sometimes go and see her. It saddens him knowing that she still trusted Spain even after he would beat her up. It just drove Confederacy crazy knowing how much pain she was in and not being able to do anything about it. Then that dreaded day came to him.
Flashback:
Confederacy went down south in order to see his smiling princess, New Spain (Mexico). He felt exited, for he thought he would see her where she always was at this time, in her gardens. She would run to him once she saw him and then would hold him in her embrace. She would kiss him on the cheek, smile and walk over to her gardens and tend to them. He would see her sweat and she would blow on her hair that was on her forehead. However what she was not in her gardens, Confederacy panicked. Confederacy frantically searched her house until he heard some cries of pain. He inched cautiously to the door; he knew that this had to be New Spain's bedroom, because he would sometimes play with New Spain in here.
The door was locked it was always locked whenever Spain was causing New Spain pain. This time it was different, he knew that whatever Spain was doing to New Spain was the same thing some of the slave holders did to their female slaves. Confederacy could also tell that Spain had barely even started.
"I will teach you to mess me, New Spain," Spain said as he put down the belt he had used to hit New Spain with.
"I am sorry, Spain. I will never do it again, I promise just please don't do this, please," New Spain begged.
"No, no, New Spain, I have given you so many chances, but you left me no choice," Spain said. Spain grabbed New Spain and threw her on the bed and quickly climbed into it. New Spain did not seem to understand what was about to happen to her (or at least Confederacy thought she didn't) but she did try to push herself from Spain as much as possible. New Spain looked at Spain with a new horror in her eyes. The Confederacy froze right in front of the door he could hear Spain rip off New Spain's dress off.
"Your body has changed a lot in the past four years. Your breast have gotten larger, they are B-cups, your thighs are the perfect size, your bottom is tight, you are fourteen years old and you still fit inside this dress. A dress I gave you when you were nine years old. I remember that day that was the day that I learned that if I wanted to do to you what I am about to do now I would have to be careful. Even though I love your body, I do not want to get you pregnant until you are at least eighteen years old," Spain said.
"Amo! Am-" Spain slapped New Spain across the face before she could even finish saying anything. Instead she began to cry and message the cheek that Spain had just hit.
"What have I told you about speaking in that language," Spain snarled. He grabbed her by the back of her head and pulled her forward.
"Ay! Me duele! You're hurting me Spa-" New Spain said right before Spain kissed her.
New Spain froze into the kiss. Spain's tongue was inside her mouth and it felt foreign. Spain stopped and pulled her away.
"Kiss me back, New Spain, or do you want me to hurt little Puebla," Spain warned her.
"But Puebla is your son. You won't hurt your own son now would you?" New Spain asked.
"How should I care if that brat lives or dies. He is not even strong enough to be known as one of my colonies," Spain responded, "now are go-"
New Spain did not need to be told twice. She inched forward and kissed Spain with the passion that he desired.
The Confederacy couldn't take it anymore he was about to kick open the door when someone pulled on his sleeve. He looked to his side to see Puebla a young man whose appearance seemed about thirteen years old.
"Follow me, Confederacy; they are going to be in there for a while. I should know this isn't the first time that Bastardo Spain has done this to New Spain," Puebla said and he tried to pull Confederacy away from that door.
"Wha-" Puebla covered Confederacy's mouth.
"Sh, we don't want them to know you are out here. If Spain sees you out here he is going to hurt New Spain even more," Puebla warned him, "now follow me."
Confederacy followed Puebla who leads him outside. Puebla walked in the direction to the wall and jumped over it as if it were nothing. Confederacy looks up at the ten feet tall wall.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Puebla asks from the other side of the wall.
"I am sorry Puebla but I just can't seem to be able to jump that high," Confederacy says feeling really embarrassed.
"Oh I forgot sorry," Puebla replies. Then jumps back to be by Confederacy's side.
Puebla begins to move three vegetable crates to make it easier for Confederacy to jump over the wall. Once again Confederacy felt embarrassed that he couldn't move those crates himself. He remembered that he once came over to New Spain's house. They were loading those eighty pound crates into a wagon they would even load up to five crates each at the time, and he could only carry one at a time.
"There that should do it. Unless you want me to carry you to the other side," Puebla teased Confederacy.
The Confederacy blushed like madly.
"I think I can make it form here," Confederacy huffed.
"Suit yourself," Puebla said, and jumped over once again as if it were nothing.
Confederacy climbed over the crates but once he saw what awaited him on the other side he froze.
"Now what, Confederacy, you can't get down?" Puebla teased.
"What do you think you damn beaner?" Confederacy snarled.
"Don't worry about it just jump off, I'll catch you," Puebla assured him. Confederacy trusted Puebla so he jumped off the wall. Puebla caught Confederacy bridal style.
"Damn, Confederacy, you are built like a flat-chested girl," Puebla teased.
Then Confederacy punched Puebla on the nose. Then Puebla place Confederacy down.
'He even hits like a girl,' Puebla smirked to himself.
Then Puebla told Confederacy all about his plans at becoming independent. Telling him that it would be his only chance at freeing both himself and New Spain from Spain's clutches.
"That sounds like a good plan, but what does this have to do with me?" Confederacy asked.
"I know you love my sister, think about it if you help me out she might fall in love with you," Puebla teased him.
"Okay, I get it. What do you want me to do?" Confederacy asked.
"Not much just that I need you to tell the United States or America to help me give me a safe place to stay at. Just in case I am in danger. Can you do that for me, Confederacy? I will need you do the same thing also," Puebla said.
"Is tha- is that all you really need from me, Puebla? To give you a safe place to stay at when you are in danger? What does New Spain think of all this?" Confederacy asked.
"She doesn't know about any of my plans. Eyes that doesn't see heart that doesn't feel," Puebla said.
"Shouldn't she know what you are planning on doing? It involves her too doesn't it?" asked Confederacy.
"Yes she has a major part of what I am doing. It's just that-" Puebla mummbled. "Just that what? Puebla, why are you keeping this a secret from her?" asked Confederacy feeling outraged.
"New Spain is in no condition to fight, Confederacy," Puebla said. Puebla sounded as if he was trying to calm down a child that was making a fit.
"Well, why not she has much to do with what you are doing!" exclaimed Confederacy.
"I know but try to understand her. New Spain is weak, and besides she believes anything that Spain tells her," Puebla said as he sank to his knees, "he has broken her, Confederacy. Bended her to his will, New Spain does whatever Spain asks of her, no questions asked?" Puebla began to cry for his sister.
Confederacy didn't know what to do with the crying nation.
"Y-you k-know w-what h-hurts m-me the most?" Puebla asked in between sobs.
Confederacy said nothing.
"Is that she lets Spain do all of those horrible things to her. You know why she does that?" Puebla asked.
"No I don't know," Confederacy said.
He felt sorry for the teenager sitting kneeling on the floor; however, he also felt envy. He was close to his sister, unlike he and America were to one another.
"I asked her once as I mended her wounds. She told me that as long as I was safe and away from Spain's rage she would take as many hits. It hurts me in knowing that what that pig is doing to my older sister is just that he doesn't lay a single finger against me. I rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I hate that man that I am supposed to call a father," Puebla said feeling outraged.
"Wait are you telling me that Spain is your father? Then doesn't that also make him New Spain's father, how can he do that to his own daughter?" asked Confederacy with amazement and disgust.
"Yes, Spain is my father, but he is not New Spain's father. Let me explain both me and New Spain share the same mother, which was Mama Azteca; however, New Spain's father was Maya, not Spain," Puebla explained
. Puebla looked over the wall to New Spain's house. Then he got up and looked at Confederacy.
"They should be done by now," Puebla said, "So do what do you say? Can I count on you?"
Puebla extended his arm so that Confederacy could shake it.
"Yes if it will insure her safety you can count on me," Confederacy answered shaking the hand that was offered to him.
End Flashback…
Damn if only he could make time go back and stop Puebla from ever trying to fight his father. If only he had been there to save Puebla from Spain's rage. He can't help but think of Mexico even in all of this chaos. She is all around him. Confederacy smiles and thinks back to all those simple times when she would smile warmly at him whenever he came. Those simple days when they were kids, but times have changed and today he was in the middle of a civil war with his older brother America. He hears a crack coming from behind him. He is frozen in place; he is weak from all the fighting and hopes that whoever is behind him is not America. Confederacy is too afraid to look behind but knows that he has to. He turns around slowly and suddenly sees….
