12. Una Nueva Socia, Una Nueva Muerte (A New Partner, A New Kill)

(Early Morning, Town of San Verona)

The sun rise upon the majestic mountains of San Verona, the flowers began the bloom open with their morning scent was freshing up the fields and town. Every corner of the street as busy on their morning routines, stores were openings up, food was being cooked and El Padre Featherstone was preparing his church for today's Sunday misa (God worshipping). He was cleaning up the front of the church with the Jesus Cross, filled with flowers and rosaries. As he continues to clean, when a echoic voice from behind him, calling his name.

"Padre! Padre Featherstone?!" the female voice called.

He turns and sees Julieta, walking down the center of the church directly toward him. "Julieta, muchacha, what brings you here?" he walks down to steps to hug her.

Julieta was wearing a simple black blouse with long brown pants and a black hat with her belt "I came to check on mi bobo, Juan Primito".

"He's out buying some frutas for los niños later" he says, making her smile.

"I just came to bring him ropa and some of his toys" she says, hanging him a bag with Juan Primito's stuff.

"And how is your ranchera going?" he asked. Judging by her clothes, she was in her Doña Barbara to make business as usual. But today was different for her.

"Slowly. The fire was very grave but nothing with a little dinero can't fix. I have a very importante meeting with some drug-dealers hoy?" she says, like it's no big deal

His eyes wide in surprise. "Drug-dealers you say? You're not referring too..?"

"Si, with La Mexicana y Los Rusos. (The Mexican & The Russians) "I'll be negotiating with them hoy"

"And what if they don't accept?"

"Then I'll have to find another way to find el dinero I need. But that doesn't mean I'll stop doing my deliveries. Speaking of, has the merchandise mis muchachos send you for this week arrive"

"Si, it's in the back. You can go check on it if you want, niña"

"Gracias. I won't be long" she smile sand heads to the back room. El Padre goes back to cleaning around the church until her heard another familiar voice coming behind him.

"PADRE! Padre Featherstone!"

El Padre turns and gasps again by the presence of another outlaw coming down toward him. "Gnoméo, muchacho, what are you here?" he asked, quickly noticing him in his Zorro clothes and mask.

"I need to speak to you" Gnoméo had his black mask on but he knew he could be safe inside the church.

"What about, chico?"

"The demolitions of the mines are getting closer. Y Don Rojillo is contacting his comrades in el exterior and his men are moving fast. I need to know where he is starting. If only I had somebody from the inside to spy all his planes"

"I may have somebody who could help you" El Padre says, thinking of the right person for the job.

"Really? Quien?" Gnoméo asked, curiously.

"Well, before I say, you need to be very open minded on this one. And think this very carefully"

"How open minded?"

Then he hears a familiar voice coming from the back "Oye, Padre. Has Juan Primito come yet cause I'm starting to..." Julieta steps out and stops talking when she sees Gnoméo. "... worry" she finishes, continuing to stare at her forbidden amor. "Gnoméo? I mean, Zorro?" she corrects, trying to act like she doesn't know him.

"Julieta? I mean, Doña Barbara" he corrects and acts too. They kept staring at eachother until a voice snap them back to reality.

"Padre, I brought la fruta (fruit)..." Juan Primito stops speaking once he saw Julieta; he even drops the bag of fruit as the apples and pears spills over the floor. Soon, his surprised grin turns into a happy smile. "DOÑA! YOU HAVE COME FOR JUAN PRIMITO!" he cried excited, running to her, and hugging her tight.

She hugs him back with tenderness "Oh, mi bobo, I told you I would come back for you!" she hugs him back, chuckling with happiness.

"Does this mean I can go home to "La Dorada" with usted?" he asked, holding her hands, excitedly.

"No, not yet, mi Juan Primito. But for now, I need you here with El Padre to watch over the people and los niños while I fix everything in "La Dorada" but I promise it will be very pronto" she kisses his forehead.

"Ok, Doña... I'm just glad to see you after a long time" he hugs her again. He breaks from their embrace and then sees a tall man dressed in black and a dark mask over her shoulder. "Who's that, Doña? Is that EL Zorro?" he was frightened, hiding behind her.

"It's ok, mi bobo. He won't hurt you, I won't let him but I would like to know..." she turns back at Gnoméo "What are you doing here, Gno... uh... Zorro?" she quickly corrects.

"To give mis pecados (sins) to El Padre." He said as an excuse. "Y tu, Doña Barbara?" he asked her.

"Other reasons" she says, lying.

"Uh... Juan Primito, muchacho, would you mind helping me with los juguetes for the children in the back while EL Zorro & Doña Barbara talk their differences" El Padre said to him, knowing that Julieta y Gnoméo wanted some privacy.

"Si, Padre" he nods and then faces Julieta "Be careful, Doña" he whispers, taking her hands, protectively.

"I'll fine, now go. I'll see you later, mi bobo" she kisses his forehead and he runs off with El Padre, leaving her alone with her secret amor.

Once El Padre and Juan Primito left, Gnoméo takes Julieta to a dark room in the back of the church where there were few candles lighten and a small Jesus cross on a table.

Gnoméo pulls the curtain so they'll have privacy "I see you have more bodyguards than I imagine" he says, taking off his mask to her.

"He's mi criado" she smiles by Juna Primito's sweet childish ways. (criado: somebody you love and take care of like you were he/her parent)

"It seems to me, you're like his madre" he says, with a chuckle

"Que haces aqui? What is this all about, Gnoméo?" she asks, serious, crossing her arms.

"Tu padre and his plan of stealing mi familia's gold mine and your's" he says, serious.

"Again with this?! Gnoméo, are you asking me to choose sides?" she huffs, slighting annoyed with this topic.

"Sadly, si. It's either tu padre's side or mine. Look, I know I'm asking you too much pero I need..."

"I'll do it" she cuts him off

But he didn't listen "I need more information on the demolition and I can't risk myself into... espera, que?" he raises his brow at her.

"I said I'll do it" she nod, smiling.

"Por que?" he asks, a bit confused.

"Porque I already know what mi padre is planning and I think you should know. And I will help you"

"Oh come here, mi diabla". In a fast move, he takes out his whips and pulls her in his arms and starts kissing her wildly and she didn't complain until he went down to her neck and her shoulders. She giggles and tries to push him away, by knowing where they were and it wasn't right.

"Gnoméo, para (stop)! We're in una iglesia (church)" she giggles as he continues to kiss her neck violently.

"So, what? I barely see you" he says as he continues to kiss her neck and she kisses his lips.

She closes her eyes as she felt his love and passion against her skin and lips', feeling his strong arms around her waist and her's around his neck, with their bodies pressed against eachother. But they were soon interrupted when El Padre pull aside the curtain, letting in the light of the church shine over them. They quickly broke away but he still held her in his arms as they look at EL Padre, awkwardly. The secret was out... at least for El Padre.

"If you kids are done, maybe it's time for you to go do your duties in serving this town but in your separate ways" he says, making them feel uncomfortable.

"I only wish it would be the same, as in together" he whispers to her, making her smile as well.

"Well, I have to go now" she clears her throat and leaves Gnoméo's embrace.

El Padre stands in her way "Julieta, remember what I told you. Be careful with them, they're not the friendliest people around, ok?" El Padre told her, serious.

"Lo se, Padre and I will" she nods. (Lo se: I know)

"May Dios protect you, hija" he gave her his blessing.

"Amen" she smiles and hugs him "Adios, Padre. Tell Juan Primito I love him and I'll be coming back soon for him"

She then looks back at Gnoméo "Stay out of trouble, or at least out of jail" she winks at him, smiling lovingly at him.

"I'll try" he winks at her back, making her blush.

She gives El Zorro a goodbye kiss and heads out. She stops at the door and blows him a kiss. Gnoméo stair at the door, lovingly, hoping she would come back but never did. Instead, El Padre came out from a room and notices his happy in-love grin.

"I advise you to be careful, muchacho. Knowing Julieta, she could be very tricky to understand" he interrupted Gnoméo's thoughts.

"I know what you mean, Padre" Gnoméo nods

"If you 2 will be working together. Remember this. One must never mix the personal with the professional, entendido?" (understood)

"So, you know?" Gnoméo asked, concern of El Padre knowing of his secret relationship with Julieta.

El Padre nods "Hijo, I always knew you soon will fall for Julieta's beauty and love for this town, not to mention her feisty evil self. And don't try to deny it because I've know the both of you since you were children"

"I won't. I know I can't hide anything from you"

"Gnoméo, she may not show it much but Julieta is a maravillosa muchacha con un Corazon de oro (wonderful girl with a golden heart), she loves this pueblo as much as you do. She just has a strange way of showing it, exactly like..."

"... an outlaw. Like me" Gnoméo finishes with a sign.

"Gnoméo, I may not know el future but I assure you that this will all end so you 2 can be felices juntos" El Padre said and Gnoméo nods, hoping he was right. Gnoméo wished nothing more is to be happy by Julieta's side, no matter as her royal self or outlaw self.

Later in the morning, when the sun was up at its point and the town was still as busy as any day. In "La Dorada", Julieta is busy working on the documents of her ranchera until there was a knock on the door.

Indio walks in, talking off his hat in respect for her. "Doña, you have a visitor"

"Who is it, Indio?" she asks, without looking up at him.

"The person you have been expecting" he says, making Julieta finally look up.

"Let them in, Indio. Tell them to pass to the study" she says and he tips his hat to her, letting in her guests.

"Buenas Tardes, Doña Barbara" a woman said as she walks into Julieta's office.

The woman had long brown hair down to her waist but had it tied in a ponytail. She wore an elegant blouse and pants with a jacket over her. She was very pretty but had a few muscular muscles too show but not very much. She had a serious look on her face but it's nothing Julieta should be worry about. Julieta perfectly knew who this woman was, her name was Teresa Mendoza, she was Mexican and was mostly known as La Reina Del Sur (The Queen Of The South) The 1# famous female drug-dealer in the world.

"Buenas Tardes, Sra. Teresa Mendoza. It's a pleasure to have you here" she stood up from her chair and they shake hands. Julieta has called Teresa Mendoza to do a little business deal with her on what she does best, narcotrafico (drug-dealing).

"The pleasure is mine, Doña. I got your message saying you needed help on your ranchera" Teresa said as she sat down in front of Julieta's desk.

Then Julieta sat down on her chair "Si, and I hear you need help on your deliveries of cocaine to Colombia y Mexico"

"Si, ever since I had the FBI on me, it has been very tough for me to make those deliveries. My partner Oleg has put his entire trust on me and I cannot fail him. We are risky too much money in these operations and I can't have the FBI stopping one more or the cargo will not make it to its destination"

"I understand. I also know you have another cargo heading to Rusia next month"

"That's right, but sadly we are losing some of your merchandise and I can't risk getting caught by the FBI again"

"What would you say if I can help you on this little problema, Teresa?" Julieta said as she rest herself on her desk with her elbows.

"I'd say I'm listening" Teresa nods as she listens.

"Ok, here the thing. Before mi madre died, she not only left me in charge of this town. But she gave me half a pound of cocaine that's hidden away real good that not even the governor knows about it"

"So, you're telling me you have half a pound of the strongest drug in the world in your possession and you never used it"

"I have used it but I kept it save and well hidden from anybody who intends to steal me"

"That's clever. And how do you plan on using that half pound?"

"That's why I call you. I'm thinking of doing a little business with that with you & los rusos (the Russians)"

"Me & Oleg? Por que?"

"Who'd better to negotiate then the Russian Mafia? I need the money for my ranchera & you guys are running low on cocaine, what do you say?"

"I see a pretty reasonable deal here. You wish to be in the narco business" (narco: drug-dealer)

"Si but just until mi ranchera gets repair. And you can have all the cocaine I have and much more"

"You know, Doña Barbara. I have read the crimes & business you have made. I say it's quite impressive on how they haven't arrest you yet"

"I have taken the liberty too to research you. You were la novia (girlfriend) of El Guero, who got killed in an airplane incident. You've been in jail for 5 años and you became the best partner of Oleg, the leader of the narco Mafia" Julieta negociates. (Guero: a funny same for guy who has blonde hair)

"Alright, I'm all ears. What's your proposal, Doña?" Teresa asked, interested in her respond.

"Listen, Sra. Teresa. I don't want to be enemies because enemies betray and end you dead. I just want us to be business partner just for a short time. This way, the FBI will never suspect of me transposing your cargo to Mexico and Colombia. And in a few short weeks I'll get the rest to Rusia"

"I must say, Doña. You're clever than you look"

"We got a deal?"

"I'll have to think and negotiate that with Oleg, and we'll get back to you"

"I understand if you need time to trust me, Teresa. But we are 2 mujeres (women) with so much power & money that we can control this any place and anybody. With my little finger, I decide who lives and who dies"

"I do the same thing. I see how we can make this work. We are so alike. I can really picture it now, the legendary Doña Barbara of el pueblo of San Verona"

"... And La Reina Del Sur, Teresa Mendoza"

"...doing narco business. This could be the start of a beautiful partnership"

"So, this means we have a deal"

"You have a deal. Next week, I'll have the first part of your dinero for your ranchera"

"And I'll have the first half of your cocaine ready for the next delivery"

They shake their hands in agreement.

"If it's not too much, do you mind coming to Marilla and meet Oleg in person"

"Marilla? That's far but I'll be able to make it"

"Exelente. Pote!" Teresa called as her bodyguard came thru the door. El Pote was a short chubby man with a moustache and tan skin, dressed in cowboy clothes, boots & hat with master guns and weapons in his left pocket. It said he was once Teresa's enemy, send to kill her but by various fails, he come down to work by her side. (A:N/ HEY! If you can't beat them, join them! & WHOO, I LOVE U POTE!)

"We're leaving, señora?" he asked

Teresa nods "Si, it's be a pleasure meeting you, Doña Barbara"

"No, el honor was mine to meet the most powerful mujer narco in the world" they shake hands

"Not as honor as meeting the most powerful mujer en España"

"I'll see you soon"

"Will do" they bod their goodbyes as Teresa, followed by El Pote walk out the door. Julieta grins, knowing this will be the start of a beautiful partnership with La Reina Del Sur.

(A Few Hours Later)

After the meeting with Teresa Mendoza, Julieta has been keeping herself occupied by checking on the animals of her stables, she fed them, given them baths which was very difficult sometimes but she had fun doing it. She took her horse out for a run through the forest and continued cleaning up her ranchera. As she carries some heavy boxes outside, she hears her men calling her.

"Doña! Mi Doña!" they cried to her in union, taking of their hats in respect to her.

"Indio, Lucho, Rico, what news do you have for me?" she asked, desperate.

"We have spotted Don Rojillo and Don Fernando with a newcomer; he's a very powerful man from la capital" he said.

"What is his name?" she asks concern.

"They say they call him "El Sapo" but his real name is Julian Barreto" Lucho informs.

The name rang thru her mind "Julian Barreto" she repeated, softly as the same flashback and memories of her past came to her but only seeing the disgusting face of Julian Barreto. "What exactly is he planning in doing here in town?"

"Well, he's been roaming around the field, to buy a new farm to cultivate cafe for the town. And Don Rojillo and Don Fernando are showing him around"

"Interesante. Indio, isn't there an empty farm close from here that's up for sale?"

"Si, Mi Doña. But what do you want us to do with "El Sapo".

"Indio, take 2 hombres with you and show him around like you did with "Perro De Agua" and bring him here in 1 hora. And for the rest of you, set up the large mesa with all the glasses, plates, utensils and I will have my best cook prepare a delicious feast for you and our guest" she says, smiling evilly, making her men get excited for what she has plan.

Soon, the sun was going down as a glowing bright sunset was seen over the mountains as the light shinned over "La Dorada" and the fields. Soon, Indio, Lucho & Rico came back, they hop of their horses and pulled a strange man with a thin twist moustache and simple clothes, who goes by the name of Julian Barreto aka El Sapo.

"You men have been showing me around all day. May I ask why?" Barreto asked.

"We heard you're looking for una bonita granja for your cafe business, amigo" Rico said

"Si, I have but I had no suerte in finding one at a fair price" Barreto said with a small frown.

"Exacto. But our boss has the perfect granja for you and it's very close to here in "La Dorada" Lucho said.

"Really?" Barreto asks.

"We come in behalf of the most powerful mujer in San Verona. Our patrona, Doña Barbara. She wishes to meet and make businesses with you, Sr. Barreto" Indio says, handling out drinks to his amigos and Barreto.

"Really? And what is she like? She is old? Is she lovely?" Barreto asks, curious.

Before they can answer any of his questions, a beautiful woman's figure came thru the door and into the open of the front garden with a smiley and evil grin on her face.

"Find out for yourself, Julian Barreto. What do you think of me now after so many years?" Julieta asks, grinning.

Barreto turns and his eyes widen in shock as he takes of his hat in respect of her presence. Barreto eyes the woman from the top of her long brown skirt to her lovely face "Barbarita!" he gasps in disbelief and stay frozen in place. He even drops his glass of whiskey by how speechless he is by the seeing how Julieta turn into a beautiful spectacle of a woman since he last her. He finally got his arms to move as he reaches into his pocket where he had his gun. But los muchachos thought fast and took his gun away in case he had any ideas against their boss. Julieta had an evil plan for this evening with her "special guest".

"Muchachos, have la cocinera prepare the most delicious chicken dinner for us. In honor for our guest in mi ranchera. Come in, Sr. Barreto, make yourself at home" she gestures him to come and he takes off his hat in respect to respected woman as she is.

"Gracias, Doña" he gives her a small bow and heads inside her majestic ranchera.

Without Barreto noticing, Julieta looks back at her men and give them a signal with her finger to begin step 2 of her evil plan and they nod as she goes in.

"He'll be stuffed like un cerdo en Navidad"(a pig on Christmas) Indio comment to his amigos and they laugh as they follow inside to begin step 2 of their boss's plan.

In the back of her ranchera, there was stunning garden with wild flowers of all the colors of the rainbow, fruits trees and a long elegant table set up for a dinner feast. Her men sat down in each side and they started eating all the food on her command. Julieta sat at the bigger chair at the end and Barreto sat beside her as her "guest". For a while, Barreto has told her all about and his back-story. "Like I don't already know" she thought in her mind with evilness. Barreto has also told he was looking for a farm was to cultivate his cafe and Julieta has offered to take him on a tour to the one near "La Dorada" after dinner, or so he thought. Seeing how much he was eating, Julieta kept stuffing up Barreto like if she was doing it on purpose which she was.

"Come. Eat what you want. La comida is on your honor" she says as she served him more food on his plate. (come means eat) (comida: food)

"No, gracias, Doña. I have eaten too much already" he refuses, rubbing his bloated stomach.

"No, no, it's never enough, not even dessert is coming" she handed him a plate with delicious glazed donuts and cake, which he couldn't refused.

"Well, maybe, just a little more" he takes the plate and starts throwing down the pastries down his throat.

Julieta smiles "Exelente. Muchachos, your atencion, por favor" she lightly hits a spoon against a glass to get their attention as they stood up from their seats and listen.

She raises up her glass of wine "I would like to make a toast. And I quote the words of la biblia "It's time to be born, and time to die" she says with a low tone as she glare over at Barreto, who was holding a drink in his hand. "Salud" she toasts up.

"Salud" they said in union, raising their drinks (Salud: a way of saying toast)

They all drink from their glasses without a complain until a few seconds, Barreto started feeling sick, he got dizzy and couldn't even stand up. "Oh, I don't feel so good" he groans, holding up to his stomach. His vision got blurry and he started losing hearing sigh too as he laid down on his chair. Julieta didn't bother to help him since this was all part of her plan. She put a special sleeping drug in Barreto's food and drink, only in his.

She glares down at the sick Barreto "Because today, Barreto... today, you die" she says evilly as she sips on her drink.

Barreto was confused but mostly terrified until he understood what she meant. The food she gave him had poison. She has poisoned him real good until he was out cold. The last thing he saw was her evil glare until his eyes shut completely, disconnected from his body. Julieta checks to see if he was completely out-cold but kicking his leg. There was no respond, that mean the poison worked.

"Ahora que, (now what) Mi Doña?" Indio asked as he men hold Barreto's sleepy body up.

"Take him to the fields, the ones where the bulls have their everyday fights" she orders, still holding her drink of vine in her hand.

"Si, Doña" they nod and dragged Barreto across the field to their destination.

An hour has passed, and Barreto was starting to wake up. His head had a HUGE headache and was sweaty, probably by all the time he's been under the sun heating down on him. His vision was clearing up and he sees he was in a grand open field, only a stable with cows and bulls was the only thing near him. Once he could finally move, he notices that he was on his knees on the ground and had his hands tied behind him.

"Que...? What's going on?" he asks him, very confused.

"Buenos Dias, Barreto. Want something to drink?" he heard a female voice.

Barrerto opens his eyes to see a beautiful girl, dressed in an elegant dress. The sun was glowing behind her but her smirk made him gulp in fear. The top part of the dress was dark red like blood and was sleeveless, and the skirt was entirely black. She had an evil smirk on her face as she looks down at him which frightens him. She was the same woman from what some he remembers a while ago since the poison hasn't wore off yet.

"Who are you?" he asked stupidly as her smirk grew bigger.

"So, do you remember me, Barreto?" she asks, trying to jog his memory.

"Barbarita..."

She frown angrily "Doña. Doña Barbara, animal" she stated serious. "Respetame, (Respect me) I earn that name with the respect and honor of mi pueblo" "Look at me. LOOK AT ME REAL GOOD and tell me, what do you see?"

"Una mujer" he answers, sobbing.

Then she angrily grabs his head by his hair in a threatening way "A woman, you say? That's what I seem to you? Una mujer. But I'm not. The man I love thinks I'm a monster. MIRAME! He said I was un monstro (monster) once and I believed him! That's what I am because of you. You and the others turn me into this monstro I am today. You scarred me for life, messed up my soul and ruined me in the inside. I still get nightmares of that night. Mi madre was a woman with dreams and a golden heart and loved by her people. And you men destroyed her. And by destroying her, you destroy me in the inside. I am now incapable of loving anything women are suppose to love. Soy un monstro because of you. And you know what? I'm going to kill you like how monster kill. You're going to suffer what I suffer all these years, when the 4 of you ended me and mi madre" she finishes with a glare.

From a few feet away, Julieta looks toward her men and nods her head, giving them the signal. Julieta walks away from Barreto as her men ride closer on their horses to begin her revenge plan. Her men throw some ropes on the ground as she stood still, smoking on her cigar and hearing Barreto's cries of mercy.

"What you going to do to me, Barbara?" he asks, sobbing.

She doesn't answer, Julieta doesn't even turn to face him; she holds her cigar as she blows out the smoke. Julieta never answers his question because he already knew what she's going to do. Los muchachos gets of their horses with the ropes in their hands. Each man grabs one of Barretos' hands and feet and ties the ropes to them. Julieta turns and watches how Barreto started to suffer but this wasn't the worst part yet.

"What are you going to do to me?" Barreto cries as her men continue to tie him down.

Julieta finally turns and looks down at him "I already told you, Barreto. You will know what happens when somebody tears away your soul. To have it smashed in tiny pieces and never feel it heals ever again. To have only hate and anger in your Corazon forever. And have your innocence be taken away for eternity. Have you ever known what innocence is, Barreto? I once had it and you've take it away from me. I'm pretty sure you never had since you were born of a slut" she growls, with a deadly look in her eyes.

"Por favor, Barbara. I beg you. I don't want to die, please, let me go" he begs but she ignores him while smoking on cigar.

"I never wanted either. Ustedes forced me too. And now I have the power. Ojo por ojo y diente por diente" she growls with a smirk, walking a few steps away from him as her men continue to tie him down. (Ojo por ojo: an eye for an eyes, Diente por diente: a tooth for a tooth. Do any of u guys know that expression?)

"NO! Barbara, por favor! I'll be your esclavo (slave) for eternity but don't kill me! I'll do anything you say!"

"Muchachos..." she began and they listen "... you may proceed" she gives the final order.

Julieta smokes in her cigar, looking away from them. It was seconds after she heard Barrerto's screams grow bigger and louder. He was truly suffering by the torture she order for him. Each hand and leg was tied to her men's horses. And her men ride off on purpose and let's just say, they were giving him a little "stretch". Barreto could feel his arms and legs literally ripping off his body as the horses ran off. She stayed frozen, only hearing her men laughs of enjoyment and Barretos' screams of pain until she couldn't hear them anymore. Julian Barreto was finally dead, good as dead. "2 down, 2 more to go" she thought with an evil glare.

Soon, her men, still on their horses, went up to their boss to follow her next orders. With a final blow from her cigar, she speaks. "Bring me what was left of Julian Barreto" she orders, refusing to face them "Didn't you hear me? What are you waiting for, cobardes? Do what I order" she orders, in an evil and slightly angry tone.

As her men go back to do what she told them, Julieta walks away across the fields, feeling nothing but hate and anger and little bit of relief. Her 2nd enemigo was dead and there was only 2 left. She knew each one she confronts was powerful but she's proving that her hate for them was eve powerful and nothing can stop her.

Julieta and her men travel to the forbidden parts of the swamp where the scariest and dangerous alligator live. They called him "El Tuerto" because he only had one eye but sharp teeth and claws. She walks down the shore and sits down the edge and calls the gator. (Tuerto: a word for someone who is missing an eye)

"Tuerto! Tuerto, come here! Look what I brought you!" she calls while holding up a large sack with blood stains on it. "A large pig, just like you like them!" she calls again as the scary alligator pushed itself up the shore to her. Julieta wasn't afraid of it but one can never be too careful.

She looks back at the bloody sack for a moment "Maldito, Sapo! 1,000 times maldito! Your death is nothing compares to what me and mi madre have suffered in your hands. And know you have suffered in mine. Adios, Julian Barreto" she growls, evilly.

With a final push, Julieta tosses the sack of the bloody dead pieces of Barreto into the swampy river as she watched how the vicious alligator devours the body pieces whole. She was felling more powerful than before, especially now that she was in business with powerful drug-dealers who will help her become richer and powerful than ever. But she still has her own problems in her way to what she wants, but every derrota (defeat) of her enemies made her stronger, wanting more every time. By far, each of her enemigos have taught her an important lesson, mercy doesn't exist and wasn't planning on using it on the rest she had left to destroy. She was their angel... of death.

WHOA! That was spooky and scary... and I LOVE IT! SHE'S BECOMING MORE EVIL THAN EVER! ALL THANKS TO ME! I'm gloating, am I? I DON'T CARE! I'M PROUD OF MYSELF ON HOW THIS STORY IS GOING! DO U GUYS AGREE?! ;D

Ok, just a little quick note on the character of Teresa Mendoza. She is a REAL LIFE person and everything she's been negotiating with Julieta and she has pointed out about Teresa is ALL TRUE! MI papa watched her entire soap opera, I watched it with him and I thought it would be SOO COOL to have her guest star and make business with our favourite patroness/ninja/outlaw. I sing the Mexican theme song literally every day, just for fun or just to annoy him but doens't get mad since he loves the song and soap so much. And I LOVE HER assistant, EL Pote. He's like a BIG TEDDY BEAR, who'd want to squeeze! ;) Anyways, keep an eye on Teresa; she'll be going appearances in the next few chapters & with other important and powerful drug-dealers coming up. If you've guessed it than yes, it's the Russian. Wish Julieta luck because Russian... not the friendliest people around (Trust me, I know that for a fact since I see them every day in my school and neighbourhood)

Well, I'm going to GYM clase now, see you guy later! LUV YA GUYS, ESPECIALLY MY BEST BROS (BREEZY & CARRIES & JBABE & PENELOPY & VALERIE!) XOXOXO ;D

PS. I have to mention that this will my last chapter Zorro chapter I'll be updating... for this month (I have update 3! That's a new record for me!)

-MICKEY!* ;D
