After Shuriki's break in, Elena suggested that Isabel should take a nap. Isabel refused at first, but then agreed when Elena said she would sleep with her. Isabel wrapped her arms around Elena's waist. Elena let Isabel hold on as tight as she wanted. Only when she was assured she was safe, Isabel let herself slowly drift to sleep.

A few minutes later, Isabel woke up due to someone saying her name over and over. She opened her eyes to find Elena missing. She turned over to see Shuriki staring down at her. " I've got you now, child," Shuriki said. Isabel didn't even have time to scream before she suddenly fell unconscious. When she woke up, she was in a dark and creepy place that she assumed was Shuriki's lair.

Shuriki approached her with a smirk. Isabel finally asked the question she so desired to know. " What do you want from me?" Isabel asked. Shuriki just leaned down and touched Isabel's forehead. Isabel gasped as memories flowed through her brain. " Ah, ah, ah," she groaned. "Isabel. Isabel. Isa. Isa. Isabel. Isa, wake up."

Isabel woke up due to someone saying her name. Elena was staring down at her little sister, who's color had drained from her face." Isa, you okay?" Elena asked. Isabel shook her head. She allowed Elena to lift her up and hold her in her arms. Elena soothed Isabel, who refused to talk about her nightmare.

Armando walked into the room. " Princess, it's time for the grand council meeting," he announced. Elena nodded. " You okay, now?" she asked Isabel. Isabel nodded her head even though she wasn't. Elena set her down and smiled. " Estoy aqui, esta bien," she promised. Elena exited the room, but immediately felt a set of arms wrap around her waist. She recognized the touch. She looked down at Isabel, who whined, " Don't leave me." Elena felt bad for Isabel. She was being tortured by the past and what may happen in the future. It worried her.

" How about you come with me," Elena suggested. Isabel nodded in agreement. Elena smiled and gave Isabel a piggy back ride to the grand council room. Esteban frowned when he saw Isabel with Elena. " Not good," he thought. Elena took her seat while Isabel made herself comfortable in her sister's lap. " Alright, the grand council meeting starts now!" Elena announced. She banged on the table, making Esteban cover his ears.

The window's of the grand council room shattered. Shuriki appeared on top of the table. " I told you I would be back," she said. Isabel whimpered and Elena growled. " Stay away from her!" she demanded. " Uh, Elena, I will get Isabel to safety, you can use your scepter to hold Shurki off," Esteban said. Elena refused at first, but finally relinquished her sister. Esteban grabbed Isabel and ran out of the room. Shuriki smiled evilly.

Elena took out her scepter. " Blaze!" she shouted. Shuriki dodged the blast. " You lose," she remarked. She exited through the window.

" Ugh, she got away again," Elena stated. Meanwhile, Esteban carried Isabel out of the palace. " What are you doing, primo?" Isabel asked.

" I'm… bringing you to Shuriki," Esteban admitted. Isabel gasped. She stared at her cousin in shock.

" Why would you help her? I'm family. What if she hurts me?" Isabel whined. " She's not going to, she told me something no one else knows about her or you or the royal family, she's just trying to protect you," Esteban explained. Isabel shook her head.

" You don't get it, primo, she's using you to capture me so she can kill and torture me," she said. " No, she's not, you'll see," Esteban replied. Isabel did the only thing she could think of.

" ELENA, HELP, I'm BEING KIDNAPPED!" she screamed. " Now, now, child, there's no need for that," a voice said. Shuriki appeared next to Esteban. Isabel began trembling.

" Elena will stop you, the both of you," she snapped. Shuriki smirked at this.

" We'll be long gone by then, she has no idea where my secret lair is," she told Isabel. Shuriki, Esteban, and Isabel disappeared just as Elena barged out of the castle.

" Isabel? " Isabel? Isa? Isa, where are you?" she called. She looked around desperately. " No, no, no," she mumbled. She was terrified. " ISA!"
