Hey everyone, here's another chapter, you better buckle up for this one.

Elena, Naomi, Gabe, mateo, and Carla got ready to find ash and esteban and hopefully catch them for good.

Elena met up with Gabe and Carla in the guards quarters to see if Carla is ready.

"Gabe, everything set?" said Elena

"Yes, princess." said Gabe

Elena noticed the the worried look on Carla's face.

"Gabe, may I talk to Carla for a second?" said Elena

Gabe nodded as he left the room

"Carla, are you up for this?" Elena asked.

Carla felt unsure. "I don't know, it just... I made a promise to your Abuela that I would capture Esteban whatever it takes. this my one chance to prove to everyone I've changed, what if i mess it up?"

"Don't worry Carla, you won't, because we are going to catch Ash and Esteban together." Elena said with confidence. "¡No hay nada que pueda detenernos!"

Carla smiled a little. "You're right, Let's go catch Ash."

Elena and Carla met with the rest of the gang outside as the jaquins came flying down

"Were here, Princesa!" said Skylar

"So I guess Carla is coming with us?" said Luna with a suspicious look

Carla chuckled nervously "Yep."

"and you want to help us?" said Migs

"Yep." Carla said again

Luna was having trust issues with her. "So you want to be a good guy now?"

"I'm not a good guy, I'm just trying to do the right thing, I really want to help catch Ash and Esteban." said Carla

Skylar felt sympathy for Carla but was still suspicious. "We'll see about that."

Carla nervously got on Migs with Gabe knowing that the jaquins are familiar for what she and her father had done in Valestrella

Naomi pulled Elena aside to talk to her before they took off "Elena, I still think this is a bad idea."

"Naomi, I know what she did in the past was unforgivable, but that's not her anymore, she's changed, and she really wants to help us." said Elena

"The last time you didn't listen to me about her when she was Rita, Shuriki attacked us, she was the one who led her to the palace." said Naomi

"Yes, she did. but she probably didn't know what she was doing. Her mother was a bad influence on her." said Elena

"But what if Carla is lying to us about Ash abandoning her and this mission is just a another trick to trap us?" said Naomi

Elena was shocked that her best friend would say such a thing. "Naomi, how could you say that? You weren't there when Carla was apprehended! you have no idea what happened!"

"Neither were you! you arrived just time when Victor was already in stone, and she was right there next to him like you told me. Do you really believe Carla has changed after everything she has done to harm Avalor?"

"Yes I do, I know it's hard for you to accept but Carla has a change of heart, let her prove herself to us, to you." said Elena "Por favor, amiga. Just give her a chance."

Naomi didn't like the fact that Carla is on their side now and she didn't trust her, but she trusts Elena and that's good enough. "You better be right." she said.

...

Elena Naomi Gabe Mateo and Carla went on the Joaquins to find ash and Esteban, Carla used her powers to locate them as they were searching

Meanwhile Ash and Esteban were looking for their first ally not knowing they were being detected

"Oh no!" said Esteban looking up. "It's Elena."

"She's right on top of us!" said Ash. "Get us out of here!"

Esteban teleported themselves to a cave. but they couldn't hide from them, with the help of Carla's improved magic, the team tracked them all the way to that cave.

Inside the cave, Ash and Esteban were caught between two tunnels.

"Where do we go?" said Esteban.

"We'll split up, you take this tunnel and I'll take that tunnel." said Ash.

Elena's team came just in time the two villains split up.

"Gabe, Naomi, Mateo. you go after Esteban." Carla and I will go after Ash." said Elena

with that, both groups went after their enemies.

...

Gabe Naomi and Mateo confronted Esteban in front of him stand on a cliff into cavern.

"Stop right there! In the name of Avalor!" Gabe yelled.

Esteban tries to make amends with them. "Wait please, allow me to explain."

"Save it Esteban, we've been annoyed of your lies long enough!" said Naomi. and to think I was starting to like you!

"I don't want to hurt any of you, I wouldn't harm Elena's friends." said Esteban. "Naomi, I planned your quiceañera, you were the bright light of the ball!"

"By turning me into something I'm not, yeah that's real caring of you." Naomi said sarcastically.

Esteban turned to Mateo. "Mateo I never meant to for your grandfather to be killed, Allacazzar was the closest person to us a family."

Mateo didn't believe him. "Funny comning form the man who is responsible for the murder of Elena's parents. I've lost my grandfather because of you, and I only got to to spend time with him for a day."

"Mateo, por favor." Esteban pleaded.

"You've said enough." said Gabe "Get him!"

Esteban teleported out of here to make his escape.

...

Meanwhile, Elena and Carla found Ash.

As they were chasing her, Ash blasted Carla to slow her down with no intention of hurting her. "Boquato!"

Carla was down and stunned. Elena ran to help her. "Carla!"

"I'm fine, go after her! I'll catch up." said Carla

Elena ran after Ash. when she got closer to her she blasted her "Blaze!"

Ash turned around to block the spell just in time. She faced Elena with anger and rage

"I just about had with you! you took everything from me!" Ash was enraged. "You've meddled in my plans, prevented me from gaining the power of Takaina, killed my beloved Master Zopilote, and now you put my daughter in jail and turned her against me! Now because of you I have nothing left to lose!

"Carla has moved on, she doesn't want anything to do with you!" Elena said. "and after what you did to her you don't deserve her!"

"So you're just going to take my only child from me like you took everything from your own cousin by exiling him?!" Ash retorted.

Elena gasped as she angrily pointed her scepter at the cruel mother. "Carla made her choice to leave you, Esteban made his choice to leave us, and you chose to abandon your own daughter! You lied to her and broke her heart by turning her father, who loved her so much, into stone! "I didn't take Carla from you, You lost her! You did this to yourself!"

As Ash heard those words, she blasted Elena with rage.

Carla caught up just in time to help Elena but she found her knocked down and unconscious.

Carla blasted Ash as soon as she saw her but then Ash dodged the blast

Ash blasted back at her but Carla blocked the spell.

Ash was impressed on how strong her daughter is. "Nice cast Mija, you are getting better just like your dear mama."

Carla was angered when she said that. "I'm not anything like you!"

"Don't fool yourself Mija, You can't escape who you are. You are everything I see in you, Evil wicked, rage villainous, it's in your blood." said Ash

"We may be related, but that doesn't mean I don't have a choice." said Carla

"Did Elena teach you that?" asked Ash.

"At least she know a lot about familia than you ever could!" Carla exclaimed.

"her Familia! her friends! she only cares about the people she loves" Ash retorted.

"No! She helped me, she believes in me, and I believe in myself!" said Carla.

Ash has had it with Carla getting influenced by Elena.

"Do you think Elena sees more in you?! She just has pity on you, because you were all alone when you didn't have to be! I'm your mother, I'm the one who's supposed to love you and take care of you! Elena does not care about you! The only reason she made you feel comfortable in prison is so that she could catch me, and once she has me, she'll reject you! Just like everyone else who rejected you and your father! She's not your friend! You're nothing but a puppet to her!"

Carla was so angry at her Mother she pointed the her Tamborita at her! "NO! You wrong about Elena! you're wrong about me! and I will never let you take advantage of me again!"

Carla blasted her tamborita at Ash and the spell hit her.

As Ash got hit, she saw that the person she was looking at wasn't her daughter, Carla was someone else now. At that moment she snapped. "You're just as hard headed as your father, I should've known! If I cant have you, then your father can't have you either!"

Ash blasted the tamborita out Carla's hand and raised her's for the final kill. "Good bye Carla."

Carla stood there petrified, she couldn't believe she was about to be killed by her own mother.

Elena woke and saw Carla was just standing there unarmed with Ash ready to kill.

CARLA! Elena jumped in front of Carla and the killing spell hit her.

"NO ELENA!" Carla was emotionally shocked.

Ash made her escape with an villainous smile on her face knowing that she finally killed the princess

Carla kneeled down to Elena and carried her motionless body as she was slowly dying

"HELP! HELP! somebody please help!" Carla cried out as she held Elena close."

"Carla.." Elena was feeling weak as her breath was fading away slowly

"Don't worry Elena, you're going to be okay." Carla sobbed. She held onto her like her life depended on it.
