He told her that he loved her. That's how it all started.

"What is there to love about me?" asked Esmeralda, ducking her head in self-conciousness.

"To many things to count," said Tulio. He took her hand and started at the beginning.

"Your strength, you passion. Everything inside and out. From you amazing black hair to every inch of your perfect curves." He ran his hand down her waist, to her hips, and back up again. He saw her close her eyes and let out a small gasp. He decided to take it a little further. He slowly bent down and kissed her neck. He recieved a quiet moan from this action and she brought her hands up to his arms. This sent him over the edge. He held her face in his hands and brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. When they parted, she gasped at the intensity of his eyes.

"Do you believe me now?" he asked

"Yes..." she said breathlessly. She leand closer to him and kissed him again. Suddenly, they felt the ground shake beneath them. Tulio looked off into the distance, and saw something he never thought he would see again. It was Rzekle-Kan and his giant jaguar. This time, thankfully, he didn't scream like a girl.

As Tulio was staring at the giant rock, he was wondering how Tzekle-Kan could've gotten away with this. Again. The people were so convinced that he was a "good guy" that they didn't even keep an eye on them!

"What in the world is that?!" Esmeralda grabbed onto Tulio's sleeve.

"That would be a giant jaguar." She wanted to hit him because of the way he said that so nonchalant. The jaguar landed in front of them and Tzakle-Kan was standing right beside it.

"Hello. Did you miss me?"

"What do you want, Tzakle-Kan?" Pocahontas was behind Tulio and Esmeralda. She walked through the people so she was standing in front of him.

"Aww. That's so cute. Little Miss Priestess thinks she can save the day. Do you even know how powerful I am?"

"Yes. I also know how powerful you aren't. You are not a high priest. Your power was taken away from you. The only ability you have is to create somithing that is just...wrong." She pointed at the giant stone jaguar.

"Something that will destroy everyone in this city because they were so careless as to let me run free. I guess I should be thanking you for that, Chief."

The Chief's face had a look of disgust. Every word coming from Tzakle-Kan's mouth was dripping with sarcasm and just plain evil.

"I can't believe I gave you a second chance. You come back into this beautiful city, and all you want to do is destroy these innocent people. Why?"

"It's not everyone. Actually, a great deal of these people will survive, unless they get in my way, of course. All I want is you." He pointed at Esmeralda.

"Me? What could you possibly want from me?"

"My, my for someone so smart, you sure do ask a lot of stupid questions. The answer is simple. Revenge."

"What have I done to make you want revenge against me?"

"Not you, my dear. Him." He pointed to Tulio.

"Will you make up your mind?!" Before he could say anything else, he grabbed Esmeralda by the arm, and dragged her with him. Tulio tried to stop him, but the giant jaguar got in the way.

"Don't come any closer, or she will get hurt." he knocked her unconcious, and carried her the rest of the way.

When Esmeralda woke up, she had a terrible headache. She tried to put her hand on her head, but they were tied behind her. She opened her eyes and realized she was tied to some kind of pole.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"Good morning sunshine." He walked out of that shadowy creepiness that villians always walk out of and looked at her.

"Why are you doing this! You know, tying me to a pole isn't going to solve anything."

"Oh, but it is. All I have to do is threaten your life and your little boyfriend will come running right into my hands."

Jeez, all that's missing is the creepy laugh.

"Why do you want to have your "revenge" on Tulio?"

"Because he made a fool of me!"

"Oh, get over it! You really need to stop holding grudges. It's bad for your health."

"I've had enough out of you!" He put a gag over her mouth and, somehow, turned the thing she was tied to around so it was facing the cliff. Esmeralda looked down and saw a huge wirlpool below. Her eyes widened and she tried to say something, but all that came out were muffled screams. Before she knew it, he was gone and she could hear him walking down stairs.

"Hey! Where are are you going?! You're not just going to leave me here!" Well that's what she tried to say. All that came out was muffled shouts and other things that you don't really need to hear...

Either he couldn't hear her, or he was just ignoring her, but either way, it made her very frustrated.

Tulio and Miguel went to Pocahontas's temple to try and sort everything out. Tulio was pacing back and forth, and he looked absolutely miserable.

"We have to come up with a plan." he said

"Tulio, you're not gonna bang your head against the wall again are you?"

"Where is he keeping her? Why did he take her? Wha-OW!" Miguel walked up to him and slapped him. "What'd you do that for?"

"Get a grip! If you're freaking out, we'll never get Esmeralda out of this." All of a sudden, they heard a scream. It wasn't the kind of scream that you would hear if someone was scared. It was a sort of "get-me-out-of-here" scream.

"That's Emseralda!" said Tulio.

"How do you know?"

"Because it came out of a girl, and its up on the cliff. All we have to do is find a way to get up there without Tzekle-Kan seeing us."

"Oh, yeah 'cause that's gonna be so easy."

"I don't appreciate your sarcasm!"

Before you knew it, they were arguing like an old married couple.

"Alright, both of you SHUT UP!" Pocahontas had her arms in front of them. "If you want to save her, then leave him alone and think of a plan!"

"How about we just sneek up there when he's sleeping?" said Miguel.

"Oh, great! That's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?" There goes the sarcasm again.

"Actually, that's not a bad idea. If we could just wait long enough it could work. No matter how powerful you are, people have to sleep."

Miguel was sitting in the corner, feeling proud of himself.

"Alright. We need to bring people with us, just in case. If he wakes up, the three of us won't be enough." said Tulio.

"There's always the giant cliff that leads to a giant swirling wirlpool of death." Miguel had one good idea. He wanted to see if he could make it two. Tulio went out to tell the Chief their plan, when he felt something hard hit his head. He saw nothing but black after that.
