know how to put you in
contact with Taini. Don't waste much more time before you do. Your
mother was right about one thing. Taini is nuts and always has been
but soon it will go well beyond that. They call her a camazotz but
Pau and Gaho assure me she has not yet become one. That however is
only a matter of time.
You need to understand something. See, when a
chupacabra’s life essence calls for its eternal heart and doesn't
get a response it believes it is being rejected. Rejection after a
while takes its toll on a chupacabra’s heart and can drive them
completely and irreparably insane.
Trust me when I say that Taini heart has
waited far too long for yours. Chances are she is in significant
mental and physical pain. Not to mention that now that she knows
you are aware of her existence and have still not touched her heart
she will go rapidly downhill."
Then my pop leaned in hugged me and placed a
kiss on my forehead before he turned and went down the hallway
towards Seraphina's room. I watched as he knocked. I closed my door
and grabbed my cell to call Pau. Pau answered on the first ring. I
didn't want to waste time on pleasantries so I said
"Pau, I just spoke with my pop and he said
you know where she is. You need to tell me. Please Pau. You know
Taini is my eternal heart and I know you and Waylon saved her."
I waited for Pau to answer me but he remained
silent. I could feel my temper rising and I was becoming desperate
to hear his response. Just as I was about to scream into the phone
he said
"Easy Ulric. I was never going to keep her
from you. Open the desk drawer next to the bed. Do you see the
folded map?"
I pulled open the door and saw a piece of
paper folded in fours. I opened the paper and saw it was a map of
the desert. I looked at the map and saw both a red and green circle
so I said
"I have it. What do you want me to do with
it?"
He cleared his throat and said
"Be at the red circle at least an hour before
sunrise. Taini will show up before sunrise. Grab her and do
whatever is necessary to get her to the green circle. Then just
keep her there until sunset. Waylon and I will join you tomorrow
night."
Then before I could even ask a single
question he hung up. I tried to call him back several times but
just go his voice mail. I looked at the clock and realised I’d less
than four hours until sunrise so I decided to shower, shave and
pack a bag of necessities. When I was finished I stepped out of the
hotel room and quickly fed before taking off into the desert.
XIV~~ Óscar Anakoni’s
I had the phone pressed tightly up against my
ear hoping to hear my son’s voice. My eternal heart was sitting in
my lap but was sleeping since she had cried herself into a fitful
sleep. When the phone first rung I’d expected it to be one of my
tribe saying they found my son. I’d felt my heart drop into my
stomach when the voice on the phone said they had my son and that
if I ever wanted to see him alive I would need to kill the
camazotz.
I’d tried to reason with the female on the
phone and explain that my tribe was a small peaceful tribe and that
we were incapable of fighting the camazotz. The kidnapper said she
didn't care, then she did something that made my son cry out in
pain. My body instinctively grew hard and angry. I felt my grizzly
bear push forward and try to take control. My eternal heart awoke
in my lap just in time to hear me growl out
"You son of a bitch! I'll do it! I promise! I
will grab every able bodied skinwalker in my tribe and we will do
our best to make sure the camazotz dies. Just promise me you will
give me back my son."
I could hear my own heart beating loudly and
my eternal heart was whimpering and looking at me with confusion
written all over her face. Finally the female spoke clearly happy
that I’d agreed
"Wonderful Óscar that was an excellent
decision on your part. I have just texted you a location. She will
be there just before sunrise. There may be a male nagual with her
ignore
