Isabel looked at the knocked out guards. Icy nodded with approval. Isabel gulped when Icy made her way towards her. " Now, where were we?" Icy asked.
" Uh, you were getting ready to let me go," Isabel said. Icy chuckled. " Hilarious," she remarked. She got back on the bed with Isabel.
" Any chance you're no longer interested in me?" Isabel asked, already knowing the answer.
" A creature like you only comes along once in a life time, it would be stupid for me to just pass it up," Icy replied.
" Lucky me," Isabel mumbled.
Icy got closer to Isa. Isabel panicked and tried to run away. Icy tied her to the bed. Isabel grunted, trying to break free. Her eyes got wider and wider as Icy's hands got closer and closer to her feet.
Elena paced the room impatiently. Gabe looked at her with pity. " I'm going to go talk to Shuriki," Elena finally said. Gabe nodded and went with her.
Shuriki was a nervous wreck. She was worried about Isabel. She jumped when Elena walked closer to her cell. " Where's Isabel?" Elena inquired.
" She was with us, someone knocked us down and separated us, then Isabel was gone, I have no idea where she is now," Shuriki explained, trying not to cry.
" I'm not going to ask again," Elena snapped. " Where's Isabel?" she repeated.
Shuriki bursted into tears and broke down. " I don't know! Princess, you gotta help me, please. I'm worried about Isa. I'm terrified, especially not knowing if she's still alive. Please, Princess, you can lock me up forever or kill me, I don't care, I just want mi sobrina to be safe," Shuriki cried.
Elena looked stunned as Shuriki sobbed. " Please, Princess," Shuriki pleaded. It was then that Elena realized what Shuriki had said.
" Sobrina? What do you mean sobrina?" Elena asked.
Shuriki explained her and Isabel's past. " Wow, I had no idea, but that explains why they were so mean to Isabel," Elena said. Shuriki nodded. Elena found the keys and unlocked the cells.
" Okay, here's the deal, Shuriki, we team up to find and save Isabel, then back in the jail cell for you," Elena declared.
Shuriki nodded. " Yes, thank you, Princess, you have no idea how much this means to me," she said.
" Okay, let's go," Elena commanded. Shuriki followed her, thankful that Isabel will be safe soon. They packed some stuff up, then headed back to the mountain. A bunch of guards were waiting for them.
" Your highness, some of our guards found Isabel, but we think they were killed by whoever kidnapped Isabel," one of the guards announced.
" Lead me to Isa," Elena commanded.
" No, we need a plan first," Shuriki protested.
" Isa is in danger right now!" Elena snapped.
" Exactly why we need to slow down," Shuriki said.
" I thought you wanted to save her!" Elena yelled.
" I do! That's why we need a plan. I know you hate me, Princess, but whoever has Isabel knows what they're doing. We need to plan every possibility so we don't die and nobody can save Isa," Shuriki explained.
Elena sighed, realizing her enemy was right. " Okay," she agreed. " So what's the-" she began to ask.
" AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
" Isa? Isa? What's wrong? Where are you? Isa!" Elena hollered.
" Stop, you're going to bring the whole mountain on top of us," Shuriki stated.
" Isabel screamed, she's in danger! We gotta help her," Elena said.
" Well, let's make a plan," Shuriki replied.
Elena nodded. " Don't worry, Isa, help is on the way," she thought. " I'm coming, child," Shuriki mumbled to herself.
" AAAAAAAH!"
" Huh," Shuriki and Elena gasped.
