Finding Tito would not be easy but the four friends spent many days trying to find him for Andrea's sake. The poor girl was worried sick about her brother who she lived and missed terribly. They went to several cities using a special compass from Bernice. It had the ability to transport anyone who uses it to any city in the world. But each city they visited, neither of them seemed to know anything about where Tito resided.

"Where are we now?" Manny said.

"We are in the Amazon. There's a hidden city here that very few people know about. Maybe Tito chose to hide here." T.J said.

They approached the city but found that it was in anguish. People were scavenging and begging. Curious they entered the city, dirty beggars looked up and begged.

"Food!" One said.

"Water!" Another said.

"Toilet paper!" A third said causing the four to take a few steps away from him.

"Excuse me." One old man said politely. "Good gentlemen and dear ladies, we beg you for help."

"Calm down old man. What is wrong?" T.J asked.

"It all started when the demon Seth and his sister Helsbeth came here. They did terrible things to the maidens of our village."

"What did they do?" Andrea asked.

"Helsbeth is an ugly old crone who was so jealous of the beautiful young women here that she turned them into hideous creatures and those who weren't cursed were stolen by Seth to become his bride. One of the women who Helsbeth cursed was Messua a beautiful young spirit who blessed our city with harvest and fertility. But now that she's gone our crops have withered and died, our river has dried up, but worst of all thousands of men have lost their wives and daughters!"

"Why not fight these two?" Manny asked.

"We have tried but two demons against even an army of humans cannot be defeated but we saw you arrive here by magic so we are hoping you are all spirits."

"Sorry but I'm only half spirit while the rest of them are human."

"But we'd be happy to try and help." Frida said.

"We would?"

"Yes."

"God bless you all for your kindness but I doubt you'll succeed."

"Nonsense! Now tell us where to find these demons." T.J said.

"They live somewhere in that horrid jungle but I hear they'll be striking at another city on the other side."

Using the compass they transported themselves to the city on the other side of the Amazon jungle. The people of the city had heard about the two demons so to protect their women they had ash and mud on their faces. Seth was not there though but his sister Helsbeth was and when she saw the two new young girls who's faces weren't dirty she was very jealous.

"Those two girls are so pretty!" She sneered. "It makes me sick! I'll fix them good!"

Manny decided to scout around the city and search for the demons while the others asked questions to the locals about them. Though T.J was more concerned with flirting with the women.

"Rest assure ladies." He said. "I promise you I will see to it that none of you are harmed."

"Oh thank you good sir." One girl said hugging him.

"You are most kind." Another said kissing his cheek.

Andrea glitches her teeth and in rage she punched a tree.

"Whoa! Take it easy." Frida said.

"That stupid leacher!" She growled. "Taking advantage of poor girls like that!"

"Andrea are you sure you're not jealous?"

"No! I am not!"

"Okay I was just asking. I'm going to question some people uptown. Call if you need anything."

"Okay."

She knew she should be asking people if they knew where Seth and Helsbeth were but she couldn't help but stand there and sulk while watching T.J with the girls. She wasn't sure it made her so upset, it's not like she wanted him to be all flirty with her. But she did wonder if he thought she was attractive.

"Good day." A voice said.

She turned to see a woman with a stand filled with make up and other cosmetics.

"I hope I didn't scare you."

"No ma'am."

"My aren't you pretty."

"Thank you."

"Wouldn't you like to look even prettier? I have some some pink blush, red lip color, purple eye shadow."

"No thank you."

"Then can I interest you in some sweet perfumes? Lavender? Jasmine? Cherry blossom? I garuntee you'll be as fragrant as a daisy."

"Thanks but no."

The woman noticed how her gaze hardly left T.J.

"Boy trouble?" She guessed.

"What?! No!"

"It's okay you can trust me. You don't have to worry about him falling for those other girls because your face is perfect except for those wrinkles."

"Wrinkles?"

"Small ones but they're there."

"Really?"

"Yes that's the problem with beauty it always fades. Here why don't you try this lotion?" She held up a bottle. "I put it on everyday and it leaves my skin flawless."

"You sure?"

"Absolutely. Take it, free of charge."

She handed Andrea the bottle.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

The woman cackled silently to herself as Andrea walked away then squirted some lotion in her hand and rubbed it on her face. Uptown Frida didn't have any luck getting any answers either.

"Good day to you." A woman carrying a basket said.

"Hello. Listen I have some questions for you, do you know anything about two demons."

"Why no dear. But I do know that your one the most beautiful young ladies I've seen."

"Thanks."

"And that is a very lovely dress you're wearing but it's missing something. I have some lovely belts here, dainty laces, and pretty ribbons that would look wonderful on you."

"They are pretty but no thanks. I don't really where stuff like that unless I have to go to church or something like that."

"I see but you have such lovely hair, maybe you'd like a comb in it? Ivory? Sliver? Golden combs?"

"Thanks again but no. Right now I just keep goggles in my hair."

"Oh but you must take at least something. It's free."

"That's very nice of you but I don't really want anything."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Positive?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely."

"Lady how many times do I have to say I don't want anything?"

"You horrible little girl! I'll snap your pretty neck!" Frida watched as the sales lady changed into the most hideous woman she had ever seen. Her nails were yellow talons, her ears were pointed, her face looked cracked and mauled, and she had little to no hair on her head. She grabbed Frida's neck and tried to break it. Frida screamed, at once Manny raced toward them and punched the ugly crone away.

"How dare you strike the powerful Helsbeth" She tried to attack them when T.J threw a knife at her face cutting her nose off. Helsbeth shrieked as tar like blood dripped from where her nose used to be. She then ran off into the jungle.

"Are you alright?" Manny asked Frida.

"Yeah but that crazy woman has one good grip." She coughed.

"The old man wasn't lying she is ugly."

"Not to mention insane! Why would she wanna kill me?!"

"Well it's obvious she was jealous of your loveliness." T.J said. When Frida's back was turned T.J tried to make a grab for her behind only for Manny to roughly grab his arm.

"Bring that hand any closer and I'll break your arm."

"Sorry."

Just then they heard Andrea scream. They followed it all the way to the edge of town where she was hiding in the trees.

"Andrea what is it? Are you alright?" Manny asked.

"Do you need help?" Frida asked.

"No! Stay back! Don't look at me!" Andrea screamed.

"Why? Are you naked? If so I don't mind." T.J said.

"Could someone slap him please?"

"We're on it." Frida said.

SLAP!

"Ow!"

"Pervert!"

PUNCH!

"Ow!"

"Leacher!" Manny added.

"Thank you and no I'm not naked. But I don't want you to see me!"

"Why? Andrea what's the matter?" T.J asked.

"Frida can you come here please?"

"Sure."

She went into the bushes and saw a figure hiding under a towel.

"Andrea?"

"Okay Frida I'm about to show you something but please don't scream."

"Alright."

Andrea took the towel off but instead of seeing her friend she saw a large, green, creature that looked like a cross between a frog and a snake.

"Oh my God. Andrea is that you?"

"Yes."

"What happened?"

She held up a bottle.

"It was this lotion! I got it from some lady and now look at me!" She began to cry.

"Okay, okay don't panic! Guys-"

"No! Don't! They'll be disgusted!"

"No they won't and if they do I'll kill them. Guys come here but whatever you do don't scream."

"Frida what's going- Oh my God!" Manny gasped.

"What is it? What- Oh sweet father of all that is good and holy!" T.J gasped.

This caused Andrea to break into tears, Frida tried to calm her down while explaining the situation. Hearing this T.J began searching his book for a cure.

"Bad news. The only way Andrea and the other women can be cured is to kill Helsbeth."

"Great! That's just wonderful!" Andrea sobbed sarcastically.

"Hey relax, Frida and I will find those demons and kill them before the day is out." Manny said.

"Right, so Manny and I are going to search the jungle. T.J stay here and keep an eye on Andrea."

"Why me?"

"Because we said so." Manny sniffed the air. "I've got her scent. Come on Frida."

He pulled Frida on his back and ran into the jungle following Helsbeth leaving T.J and Andrea alone. They didn't talk in fact they didn't even look at each other. Andrea kept a towel over herself refusing to let anyone see her. This made T.J feel sorry for her.

"Hey wait here, I'm gonna get you something."

Before she could say anything he ran off. When he came back he had a yellow flower in his hand.

"Here." He pulled the towel off her head and pinned the flower in her hair which thankfully still remained. "There that's better right?"

"How can you even look at me?"

"Oh come on it's not that bad." She looked at him in disbelief. "Okay it's pretty bad but you know you're still you and I still think you're the most gorgeous woman on earth."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Oh T.J, I'd kiss you if I didn't have venomous fangs."

"I'd take that risk."

"Trust me you don't want to."

The two started laughing until suddenly she clutched her head.

"Andrea are you okay?"

"I...I...I don't know. My mind...My mind is going...I can't think!"

"Andrea? Oh no! You're becoming a monster mentally! Oh no! Andrea you can't do this to me okay? Try to fight it!"

"I can't! T.J...You better run."

"I'm not leaving you!"

She hissed and barred her fangs but then stopped herself.

"Go away! Now! Before I kill you!"

She then slithered away into the jungle as fast as she could. T.J tried to follow her but she was very fast and before he knew it she was gone. Meanwhile Helsbeth had retreated to her brother's temple.

"Seth!" She cried.

A large man with a muscular body covered in tattoos with claws and fangs turned to the demoness's call.

"Sister what happened to you?"

"It was terrible! Two boys did this to me! Because I tried to kill a girl that was with them! One was human shaman and the other was some half human, spirit!"

"How dare they! Rest assure sister they'll die for this!"

"That awful girl! I wish I could destroy her beauty!"

"Is she that beautiful?" Seth asked interested.

"There is no one more beautiful that wretch! Her hair is like moon beams, her cheeks are two rose petals, and her eyes put every blue belle to shame! Such a girl deserves to die!"

"Hmmm...I have better idea."
