Deep within America's forests:
New Spain ran as fast as her little feet could carry her. Damn that America all her ever wanted to play was "damsel in distress". A horrible game in which she would always get tied up and put into great and terrible danger, sometimes America would come and "save" her from "danger" which was never there to begin with. Danger that he himself would cause, like that one time he almost got her trampled by a buffalo. Before all New Spain had to do in order to stay away from America was to climb a tree or get on the roof top of the buildings, but her cover had been blown when America's bald eagle had blown her cover. Now her only chance of survival was to run and not look back.
"Hey, New Spain are you here? I just want to play common this time I won't forget where I tied you up. I swear," America said as he continued to search for New Spain.
"Go away!" New Spain yelled from well hidden a tree.
"New Spain, where are you?" asked America as he got closer to the tree. Just then a bush moved.
"Are you hiding behind the bush, New Spain?" America said.
"No I am not," New Spain said, "don't come any closer! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Oh common, New Spain" America said as he open the bush.
New Spain heard the bush being spread apart followed by a yell.
"England!" America screamed as he began to run far away from New Spain. New Spain got out of her hiding place. She looked took one glance at the bush that had saved her. "Poison Ivy," New Spain simply said.
New Spain kept on walking she didn't dare look back; she knew that when she got back England would scold her. Then tell her something about pretty little girls don't behave like savages. Savage England called Native America, salvaje Spain had called Azteca. Every time she heard that word she felt outraged. How dare England and Spain call her people savages? Weren't they the ones that were destroying her and America's way of life? Well it was too late for America he doesn't even remember his parents that much.
Flashback:
It was late at night England was fast asleep in his bedroom. New Spain was sitting down looking out the window. She reached her hands out at the moon, almost trying to touch its face.
"Hey America, did you know that right now Spain is probably looking at the moon I am?" New Spain asked the small boy that was in bed.
"Yeah I know," America replied.
"Did you also know that Mama Azteca kept a track of Venus' circulation?" New Spain asked.
"No I did not," America replied drowsily.
"Yeah she also invented the number zero. I really do miss her," New Spain sadly said, "hey America, do you remember your parents?"
America looked at New Spain with a sad look in his face. "Sorry but my youngest memories are of England, so I can't really tell you much about them."
"That's okay maybe you will remember then someday," New Spain said.
"Can you get in the bed so that we can to sleep?" asked America as patted on the other side of the bed.
"Esta bien," New Spain sighed. She got on the bed right next to America, kissed him on the cheek.
'Sometimes it's best not to remember,' New Spain sadly thought to herself.
End Flashback…
New Spain was getting so close to her home. Something inside of her told her that. New Spain's face lit up like a candle, but it soon turned into one of heart ache. Her people were being treated by like slaves. She walked into her home being very careful where she went. No one seemed to recognize her since her skin had gotten lighter and her hair was no longer that mess she once had. She could hear men's screams of pain, along with the wails of the women. The deeper she walked into the town the more she hated it. She heard a woman saying no in nahualt.
"Amo! Amo!" the woman screamed. Curiosity getting the better of New Spain she went to investigate.
As she got closer she saw Spanish man raping a young Azteca woman.
"Yes I love how this feels too," the Spanish man said as he began to ram into her. Suddenly the woman froze and stopped struggling as blood began to come out from her in between her legs. She began to moan.
"Yeah, you like this bitch. This is what you wanted. Thats right you are a whore," the man said, "I can feel your pussy lips begin to tighten."
"Amo," the woman whimpered.
And that was all the man needed to move even faster. He made her wrap her legs around his waist and began to tear at the front of her dress until he saw them her plump breast. The man place them in his mouth.
New Spain's cheeks burned with embarrassment, and turned around to walk away. Whatever they were doing she knew that she shouldn't have been looking at.
Flashback:
New Spain had been there when her mother had given birth to her baby brother. As soon as the child was born Mama Azteca had grabbed a hold of New Spain's arms.
"Tenochtitlan, when Spain comes do not tell him about your baby brother. Do you understand?" Mama Azteca asked.
"Why?" New Spain asked.
"If you tell him, he will hate you," Mama Azteca told her.
A woman appeared and looked at the little baby boy that had just been born. She began to wrap the clean the child and wrap him in a blanket.
"Tenochtitlan, say good bye to your baby brother, Puebla" Mama Azteca said.
"Adios, Puebla," New Spain said as she saw the woman take her brother away.
"Mommy, will I ever see Puebla again?" New Spain asked.
"No my love you won't, but when you do please take care of him," Mama Azteca said.
End flashback…..
New Spain had to find Puebla. She just had to find her baby brother. Just then she saw a little boy hiding beneath some old wooden boxes. Then she remembered the woman she had just seen get raped, she was the same woman that had taken her baby brother away from Mama Azteca. She looked at the boy who was hiding in the boxes, this had to be Puebla. He looked hungry and scared. He had Spain's features but her mother's hair and eye color. New Spain walked closer to the boy who took one look at her and began to curl away from her.
"I am not going to hurt you," New Spain assured the little boy. She then heard the little boy's stomach growl. New Spain reached into her pocket and took out an apple and offered it to the little boy. The little boy snatched it form her and began to devour it.
"My name is New Spain. What's yours?" New Spain asked the boy as soon as he was finished eating the apple.
"Puebla," the boy said. Finally getting out of the box he had been hiding in. New Spain burst into tears when she heard this. 'Mama Azteca, look at your son. Look at how skinny he is how filthy he has gotten,' New Spain thought. She gave Puebla a tight hug but then stopped fearing she might break him.
"Mi hermanito querido, my precious little brother," New Spain said in between sobs.
"What?" Puebla asked.
"I am your big sister, Puebla. The last time I saw you, you were barely born," New Spain told her brother.
"So you are Tenochtitlan?" Puebla asked the crying girl.
"Yes but Spain changed it, so now my name is New Spain," New Spain said as she dried up her tears.
"My nanny used to tell me so much about you," Puebla said.
"Really?" asked New Spain.
"Yeah she said that you were very wild and would someday make a great and powerful empire. If only Spain had not come along," Puebla said.
"Your nanny isn't she the one that is behind that building? She is still alive, right?" New Spain asked.
"Yeah she is," Puebla said taking a hold of New Spain's hand.
"Then why do you address her in the past tense?" New Span asked.
"Because she told me that when the day I met you to follow you," Puebla said.
New Spain looked at him with pity. All of Azteca's other children where strong but he was weak. 'I must keep you a secret from Spain,' New Spain thought. She began to walk towards an empty street. Then New Spain began to walk in the direction of her mother's temple, but right before she reached it she took a left and walked into a "wall". On the other side of that wall there was a hidden forest of vegetation; corn, tomatoes, avocadoes, chilies, oranges, and even canistel, growing hidden from the rest of the world, there were even a few chickens that had gotten loose. She moved aside a stone and underneath there was a hidden tunnel that her Papa Maya had dug for her to play.
"Come here, Puebla," New Spain said to the boy who stared in amazement at all the good food he saw.
"Yes, what is it, Sissy?" asked Puebla as he ate a chili as if it candy.
"Come here, Puebla," New Spain said as she began to get inside the tunnel.
Puebla didn't ask her questions he just did what she told him. Once inside Puebla ran to the soft bed sheets that lay on the floor. It had been so long since he had slept in something this soft.
"Puebla, at night I want you to sleep in here. Don't leave this forest of food, you will be safe here. I will be back for you," New Spain said.
"Can I go with you?" asked Puebla.
"No, were I am going you will not be safe," New Spain sadly told the boy. Then she got up and began to climb out of the tunnel, but stopped when she felt Puebla pulling on her dress.
"Stay with me until I fall asleep," Puebla begged.
"Only if you promise that you won't leave this place," New Spain said.
"I promise," Puebla said.
"Good, now go to sleep," New Spain commanded. Puebla obeyed and fell asleep within seconds.
New Spain left her sleeping brother and began to walk to America's home. As soon as she got there America's arms were covered in poison ivy rashes. America looked at New Spain and ran back inside the house.
"England, New Spain is back," America said.
England walked out of the room to see a dirty New Spain. England turned from red with anger at her appearance, but then calmed down.
'Dirty New Spain is better than no New Spain at all,' England thought to himself.
"Where have you been? You do know that Spain is going to come and pick up tomorrow?" asked
England as he walked to her.
New Spain opened her mouth to tell England that she had gone to her home, but then thought to keep quiet.
"I got lost and fell in some dirt. I am sorry, England," New Spain said and began to cry.
"That's okay as long as you're safe," England said.
He began to take her inside and gave her a bath. Unfortunately he had to take it with her, at first he felt embarrassed about it but then he got used to it. She never once looked at him when they were in the bath together. America was always busy so he never knew that New Spain and England took baths together. England worried that America would find out and throw a tantrum, but New Spain never told America since she must have assumed that America also took baths with England. Every time England would come out of the bathroom with America in his arms, England always seemed to be soaked. As soon as New Spain's bath was done England sent both New Spain and America to bed.
"New Spain, don't forget that tomorrow Spain comes here to pick you up," England said right before he blew out the candle and closed the door behind him.
'I know he does, and I hate him. I hate him for what he has done to my people,' New Spain thought with anger. She stayed awake until America fell asleep and then she began to cry herself to sleep.
"Puebla," New Spain whispered right before she drifted off sleep.
