"Manny are you sure that room will be able to hold Frida?" T.J asked him.

"Positive. She may be good with an arrow and a gun but when it comes to strength she's about as useful as an old man with no legs."

"Yes but let's not forget she's determined and stubborn so I doubt that room will hold her for long so we better act quickly."

"What's the plan anyway?" Andrea asked.

"We find Django and take him out before he goes through with this crazy idea of his." Manny said.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems rather impulsive and besides how are we supposed to find him?" T.J asked.

"I may be stuck in human form at the moment but I still have a strong sense of smell so I can track his scent."

"I don't know about this." Andrea said.

"What choice do we have? If Django gets Frida then God knows what'll happen to all of us nor to mention her. I don't know what exactly he'll do to her but I know it can't be good now let's get going."

They grabbed their weapons and once Manny caught hold of Django's scent, the three of them began following his trail. It led them right into the woods to a demon graveyard. His scent was everywhere and yet he was no where in sight. The three of them searched every where but they saw no sign of him.

"Hey I think I see him!" Andrea called pointing to a figure standing on top of one of the graves. She pulled out her spear and quietly tried to sneak up on him only to gasp and drop it in shock when she saw it was Carlos. "Car...Carlos?"

"You?" He said in an emotionless voice. "What do you want?"

"Carlos please. Please try top recognize me here. I am your sis-"

"Don't say it!" He snapped. "For the last time my sister is dead! I only came here to get the apostle. Now tell me where she is and I give you my word I won't harm any of you."

"Not happening man!" Manny growled.

"Then I'm afraid I have no choice." He pulled a sword from his belt and charged toward them. Andrea blocked his sword with her spear.

"Carlos I'm begging you don't do this!" She pleaded.

"Get out of my way woman!"

His sword and her spear clashed as they began to duel.

"We have to get those horns off of him. T.J you think you can distract him?" Manny asked.

"Sure thing."

"Sorry but I can't allow that."

Django, Che, Sartana, and General Chapuza appeared in a puff of smoke.

"Sorry boy but we need him." Sartana said. "And we need that young girl too, won't you be so kind and hand her over?"

"Not on your afterlife!" Manny shouted.

"Very well then. Size them!"

"Yes Nana!" Django said.

Django lunged for Manny and the two began to brawl. Che went after and Genral Chapuza went after T.J, while Andrea and Carlos fought.

"I'm sure your brain will be extra tasty!" Chapuza said.

They grabbed him and held him down while trying to eat his head. Manny was in his human form so he couldn't fight Django that well in fact he hardly stood a chance. Django dug his bony, sharp fingers into Manny's skin so hard that it made him feel like he was being stabbed by daggers then crushed his face into the stones and concrete of the crypts and graves. T.J managed to break free and began throwing his special bombs at but they proved to not be strong enough to take them down. He immediately began searching his book for their weaknesses.

"Okay I got it! I got it! It's- Ahhh!" Carlos had stabbed him right in the back.

"T.J!" Andrea screamed in horror.

Her shock and fear of what had happened had distracted her long enough for Carlos to disarm her and stab her in her leg. Her eyes filled with tears of betryal as she collapsed. Sartana smiled at the display of pain and to further it she released powerful waves at them from her hands. The force shook the three of them and it made them feel like fire was tearing through their bodies, they screamed and cried out in terror. By the time the waves died down those three were broken, bruised, and bleeding. Their bodies suffering sheer pain and agony. Django chuckled sinisterly as he waltzed over to Manny's broken body and lifted him up by his throat.

"Did you really think you could beat me?" He teased. "I guess you're more stupid than I thought. Now I know that Frida is the apostle and that she's locked in a sanctuary so I can't get to her but if you bring her out here I'll let you live if not then well you know you die."

"Go to hell." Manny spat.

"Where do you think I come from and that's where you're going."

He brought his dagger like finger toward Manny's throat ready to slit it.

"Stop!" A voice screamed.

All eyes turned to see Frida standing in the grave yard with her arrow aimed. She had used a hair pin to pick the lock to the door in the room she was kept in then followed Manny's footprints to the grave.

"Well look who decided to join the party." Django laughed.

"Let him go Django!" She demanded.

"Let him go huh? Hmm let me think about that...Um no. Sorry but he's as good as dead."

He raised his finger to strike.

"Don't!" She shot her arrow and it hit him but he laughed it off.

"Oh Nana."

Sartana released another wave and it was directed at Frida. She screamed from the pain, Manny heard her screams and desperately tried to get to her but Django had him in a hold so tight he couldn't breathe. When the waves ceased she fell down weak and bruised. Her entire body was trembling with pain and she found herself ready to pass out.

"Frida." Manny called weakly. "You bastard...How could you do that to her?"

"Don't worry she's still alive just weak that's all can't say the same for you though."

He raised his finger again ready to take his life.

"No!" Frida screamed. Despite being weak and in pain, she was able to crawl over to him, grab his arm, and hold it back best she could. It hurt so bad to movd but she chose to ignore her pain. "Django I swear if you do this I'll never forgive you!"

"Forgiveness? Don't make me laugh I don't need your forgiveness!"

"Please! If you don't hurt him I'll do anything! Anything I swear!"

"Anything, anything?" He said raising his eye brow.

By the look of his face, she could tell exactly where this was going and it made her sick to her stomach but she would never be able to live with herself if Manny died because of her.

"If you promise not to hurt him or anyone else I care about then I'll...I'll...I'll go with you."

"No." Manny whispered.

"Deal."

He dropped Manny and lifted her weak body up.

"Put her down!" Manny shouted.

Ignoring his pain he picked himself up and attempted to throw a punch at Django's face but the demon caught his fist and began squeezing it so hard that it started to bleed.

"I don't care how bad you hurt me I won't let you take her!" He growled trying everything he could not to succumb to his injuries.

"Take her? She willingly came to me. She's mine now and after tonight you're never going to see her again because by the evening of the blood moon we will be wed."

"What?! Be wed?! As in married?!" He gasped in horror. "Frida that's a lie right?"

She looked at him weakly, closed her eyes, and allowed tears to fall before nodding. Manny felt his heart shatter, he couldn't believe it, he wouldn't.

"I'm so sorry." She wept.

"No! I won't let you!"

But Django had, had enough of this and he bashed Manny's head against a tombstone. He fell to the ground and just before going into darkness gave Frida one last pleading look and he saw her mouth the words: I love you.

"Carlos, Che, Chapuza, Nana, we're leaving."

He vanished in flames taking Frida with him. Sartana, Che, and Chapuza did the same but before Carlos could T.J using whatever strength he had keft, stood up, grabbed him by the horns, and with all his might pulled on them.

"Ahh! What are you doing?!" Carlos screamed in pain.

"Carlos come to your senses!" T.J said. "You're sister's not dead! She's right there! Look at her!"

"Let me go!"

"I said look at her! Look at her damnit! Look!" T. J said forcing Carlos to look at his injured sister. "Look at all she's suffered for you!"

"No! Stop! It hurts!"

"Good! Because you need to feel exactly what she's been feeling for these past damn elven years! Look at her Carlos! She's here! She's alive! And you hurt her! You hurt your sister!"

Carlos screamed, T.J felt like his arms were about to tear off and that he was gripping hot iron but he kept pulling and pulling and pulling until finally...SNAP! He pulled his horns right off his head then he collapsed into unconsciousness, Carlos followed after.

Three hours later when none of them returned to the Santo Order help was sent and the four of them were sent to the clinic while a search party was started for Frida. Andrea had an injured leg and brusies, T.J had a fatal stab wound, while Carlos and Manny were both in Commas due to the trauma of their injuries.

"How are they?" Sister Josephine asked Father Anthony.

"Andrea will be fine, I think T.J will pull through, but I don't know what to say for Manny and Carlos."

"What about Frida?"

"She's gone. Andrea managed to tell me everything before she blacked out, she was taken by Sartana and Django and what's evenot worse is the blood moon is tomorrow night."

"My God...You don't think-"

"Yes I do Josephine."

"Oh heaven help us. What are we going to do?"

"I don't think there's anything we can do except pray."

And that's what they did, they prayed that all would be well. In the morning T.J and Andrea's injuries were properly treated and they were recovering well but Manny

Meanwhile Frida had woken up to find herself lying on a comforter in a dark room. She got up and looked around, she realized that she was inside a mansion. A mansion with no light anywhere except from torches and fireplaces. She went to a window and pulled back the curtains, it was completely dark outside. No sun, no moon, no stars, just pitch black.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"The land of the Dead."

She jumped back to find Sartana standing behind her.

"It's not hell, it's just a place where the dead with unfinished business go or where demons like me and my grandson live." Sartana said.

"Why am I here?"

"Because this is where the ceremony shall take place."

"Am I dead?"

"No, you need to be alive for this to work."

"Why me?" She asked. "Why is it me you guys want? Why did I have to be the apostle?"

"Because you have a star for a heart, you're a descendant of Catarina Murrieta not to mention you're the spitting image of her. It's no surprise you were chosen, that you were the angel born into a human body."

"So you're just gonna use me to destroy heaven?"

"Once you and my grandson are joined as one he will be able to open the gates and we can finally make those angels pay."

"For what? Mistakes you've made?"

"Silence! You will do your part in this and if you don't I'll destroy everyone you love starting with your little half breed boyfriend."

"You're sick...But I'll do it."

"Excellent, now let us prepare."

...

Alone in the room, Manny laid in a comatose sleep. Overwhelmed with both pain and heartbreak. He felt like his heart was about to give out and he was tempted to let it happen but then he saw something in the darkness of his mind. It was a light floating toward him, when it got close enough it took the form of a woman who looked like Frida except her hair was dark brown and she wore a white dress and had a pair of white wings on her back.

"You really love her don't you?" She asked him.

Then everything changed to a forest where that same woman was picking cornflowers. She looked to be about eighteen and she was carrying Frida's bow and arrows.

"Sister Catarina." A little girl was calling out to her.

"What is it now Ramona?"

"It's the land owner's son. He's become gravely ill and I don't think any of the doctors can help him. They say he may die."

"Take me to them."

Catarina followed Ramona to a large house the obviously belonged to someone of great wealth and stature. She knocked on the door and politely asked permission to be let in and to see the land owner's son. Once she was permitted to she went into a room where he was lying in bed, his body the color of paper and as cold as ice while no breath seemed to becoming from him.

"He's not dead yet." She said. "I can save him."

She placed her hands over his heart, projecting a light through his body, when the light was gone color returned to the boy's face and he woke up.

"Mama?" He said looking for his mother.

"Oh my baby." The land owner's wife cried taking him into her arms.

"Thank you, thank you so much. However can we repay you?" The land owner asked her.

"I need no reward to save a life, may God bless you and your family."

She and her sister then left and went to a church where there stood a man in his mid-twenties dressed as a solider or knight.

"Hello Juaquin." She said.

"Hello big brother." Ramona said running to hug him.

"Hello Catarina, Ramona, how was your day?" He asked her.

"Nothing new." Catarina saved.

"She saved the land owner's son." Ramona said.

"Really?"

"It's nothing really Juaquin." She sighed.

"Catarina what's wrong? You're normally more cheerful than this."

"Forgive me brother I'm just confused."

"About what?"

"Well I'very been having this same dream over and over again."

"What about?"

"It's about a demon, he's strong and powerful and vicious. At first glance he could make anyone freeze with terror but his eyes. He has tears in his eyes, he's crying and when I wake up I can help but wonder why does he cry so?"

"It's just a dream Catarina. Demons do not cry."

"I suppose you're right but still I wonder if it means anything."

One night as she sat alone in her room reading her bible she heard something moving. Footsteps, but how was that possible? She locked the door and sealed the windows. She went for her bow and arrow and got into archer position. She saw two gleaming, green eyes looking at her from the darkness.

"Come into the light slowly."

The green eyes came forward and to her shock she saw that those eyes belonged to a demon. And not just any demon, the demon from her dreams. He looked a man her age, he in fact looked like Manny except he had straight black hair and he had horns.

"You." She said lowering her arrow. "Who are you?"

"My name is Arturo Rivera." He answered. "Are you Catarina Murrieta?"

"Yes, why are you here?"

"I've come to take you with me."

"Where?"

But before he could answer the door to her room was busted down by Juaquin and several exorcists who pointed their holy weapons toward him.

"Vile demon!" Juaquin said. "Step away from my sister this instant!"

"Hmmph! Who do you think you're talking to?" Arturo growled.

He sized Catarina by her waist and pulled her toward him. She grabbed his hand and leaned toward his ear.

"In exactly ten seconds my brother I'd going to stab you with a heavenly blade so you better move now." She whispered to him.

"Huh?" He said surprised.

"You heard me, now move."

As soon as Juaquin's hand went for his sword, Arturo scooped up Catarina into his arms, jumped out of the window, and ran away at demonic speed while holding her close. As he carried her he noticed that her face didn't have a single sign of fear, anger, or disgust. Which he found quite odd. Wasn't she afraid of him? Or revolted by him? After all he was a demom but she didn't seem to care at all. He stopped at a lake and put her down.

"Why have you brought me here?" She asked him.

"I can answer that." A sinister voice said.

She turned to see six demons looked at her. Two were Chapuza and Sartana who looked like they were in their thirties, another two was Che and Sergio who looked like they were children, one was Django, and the one who was their leader was a creature so large and terrifying that it could make you drop dead with one glance.

"I am Diablo." He told her in a voice that could stop your heart. "And you my dear were brought here to help us with something."

"And what would that be?" She said in a voice that showed no fear.

"Destroying heaven."

Her blue eyes scanned his face then his body then back to his face.

"You're him aren't you?" She asked. "The evil entity. I have been told of you since I was first created, your goal in life I'd to destroy all the good in the universe."

"That is correct."

"Then I must tell you that your plan will fail and I shall play no part in it."

"Hate to break it to you Angel but you no choice in the matter. Chapuza! Django! Locked her up!"

They had her locked inside of a cage wagon which was pulled hell hounds.

"Arturo you're in charge of keeping an eye on her." Diablo told him. "Don't let her escape or I'll destroy you."

"You can count on me." He said.

What Manny was about to see was how it started. How spirits were first formed and how deep his connection to Frida was.
