Enjoy!

A few days later, Elena, Naomi, Gabe and Mateo were at the palace talking about what happend at the sunflower festival.

"I cant believe Shuriki is back." said Elena

"It's a lot to take in" Gabe said

"And all it took was Carla to to play us so Shuriki can gain power and revive Fiero." said Naomi.

"And she used me to to do it." said Mateo "I cant believe I was foolish enough not to se it through."

"She fooled all of us Mateo" said Naomi "She is going to get what she deserves."

"and after everytihng weve done for her she..." Elena sighed. "She is going to pay for her crimes." Elena was furious.

All of a sudden, Chief Zephyr, Skylar, Migs ,and Luna just swooped in and gave some news to Elena.

"Princess Elena, our jaquin scouts have found one of the criminals in Avalor, and is brought into custody. Carla Delgado." said Chief Zephyr

Elena was shocked and vengeful when she heard this.

"You found her?!" said Elena.

"Yes but she is…"

"Take me to her! I want to deal with her myself!" Elena said angrily.

"Let us come with you!" Mateo said.

"I'll bring some guards to pick her up." said Gabe

"Oh, I've been wanting to get a little payback!" Naomi furiously said. When I see her, she' going to get it!

Skylar tried to talk some sense into Elena. "Princessa, maybe you should calm down a listen for a second, Carla is…"

"Skylar, she robbed from my family, she almost destroyed my kingdom! she's working for Shuriki! There's no doubt that when we take her back to the palace, she will be thrown in the dungeon!" Elena exclaimed angrily.

"Hold on, Elena you don't understand!" Skylar exclaimed.

"Just fly me over there!" Elena ordered.

Elena was very furious, and eager to bring Carla to prison after every selfish thing she's ever done.

Mateo on the other hand was concerned about Carla, yes he's upset that she used him, but he wonders if Carla was interested in him when they were together.

...

Elena and her friends landed safely the jaquin cliffs, Elena got off of Skylar and was ready to face her.

Skylar tried to reason with her again. "Princessa, wait! please take a breather for a second, Carla is scared at the moment, you need to..."

"She should be! she'll know my wrath, when it comes to someone who steals from my family and causes harm to my Kingdom!" Elena enraged.

"Princessa!" Skylar protested.

Elena marched right into the cave with anger.

Elena and Carla met at a far distance from the cave she resided in, Elena got closer with rage in her heart, but then stopped for a minute, she was in shock when she saw the condition Carla was in, she was covered bruises and her clothes were ripped and her leg was badly injured but wrapped around with leaves nonetheless. She was hurt physically and emotionally, Elena looked into Carla's tearful eyes and she saw fear, sadness, and pain. At that moment, Elena knew she had to be gentle with her.

So taking a breath in, she knelt down to her level and asked her calmly,

"Carla, what happened to you?" She asked

Carla was so scared of her.

"Its okay nothing's going to happen to you." Elena assured.

"Shuriki ordered Fiero to kill me, Papa defended me when he turned him into stone, but I ran as fast as I could to get away from him until I hit a dead end an caused and avalanche to fall on me, one of the rocks caught my leg I called out for help but no one answered, then the jaquins came out and helped me they took me to this cave where I could rest." Carla's tears fell down her face. "I don't even know Shuriki did to Papa after I escaped, I might never see him again!" Carla cried harder than she ever could because lost the only family she ever had. Elena suddenly felt bad for her, even though she was a criminal. No one should have to go through this not even Carla. She knows how it feels when Shuriki invaded the castle and killed her parents. She couldn't turn her down, she just cant.

"Wait here Carla, I'll be back." Elena said.

She went back to regroup with her friends and told them everything Carla's been through.

"Her father was turned into stone by fiero, then he tried to kill her, she has nowhere else to go, she needs help." said Elena.

"I agree" said Mateo. "Carla may have tricked us all but she doesn't have to suffer through a tragic moment in he life."

"She'll have to find a way to pay for her crimes, but we'll help her." said Gabe.

"Wait how do we know if she's telling the truth? She fooled us before." Naomi objected.

"Naomi, Carla was almost killed by fiero by an avalanche. She lost her family, she has no one left, She's telling the truth." said Elena.

"And so what if it is true?! She lied to us and put the entire kingdom in danger, we can't just drop everything and excuse her actions!" Naomi exclaimed.

"I know, but if we help her then maybe she'll have a chance to make up for all the bad things she has done." Elena said.

This is a bad idea, Elena. For the sake of Avalor, we need to put Carla in prison! Naomi protested.

"Naomi, No!" Elena said. Me and Isa went through a tragic loss when Shuriki killed our parents, I won't let Carla or anybody else go through that same burden." "We have to help her, are you all with me?"

"I'm in.", said Gabe.

"Me too." said Mateo

"Fine." Naomi sighed after thinking it over for a few seconds, she was still mad about what Carla had done to trick her.

Elena came back to Carla to tell her what she has decided.

"Carla, were going to help you out, but when we get back to the castle the grand council is going to decide on how to deal with you regarding your criminal background.

"I understand, your highness." Carla sniffled.

...

Gabe gathered the guards and two of them carried Carla on a hospital bed back to the castle with Elena and her friends following her. Naomi saw Carla on the bed badly injured, she felt bad for a moment, but she was still furious with her, when they got back to the palace, the family was outside to meet Elena, they had heard about Carla and were expecting to see her brought in, but instead they saw Carla being carried to the palace they were shocked to see Carla Delgado on a hospital bed hurt and in pain.

"Elena what happened?" asked Francisco.

"I'll explain everything later, Abuelo." said Elena. "But right now we need to have a grand council meeting right away."
