Seventeen years ago:
Deep inside the jungle in the middle of the night Miles and Stellla hid from La Sombra and his man.
"Miles, do you believe Arnold is the chosen one?" Asked Stella still unsure if her son was the promise child the green-eyes had been waiting for over one hundred years.
Miles looked toward some trees "Wait....do you hear something!!!" He whispered frighten.
The noise of footsteps over broken branches was clear. Someone was approaching, Miles place his hand over his whip ready to strike while Stella hid behind him with her hands shaking in fear.
Unexpectedly, Pepe emerge from the thick bushes.
"Pepe you almost gave us a hard attack!?" Said Stella trying to breathe with her hand on her chest.
"I'm sorry, next time I'll make a birth sound to let you know it's me." said Pepe.
"Did you found out were they're taking the statue?" Asked Miles
"Yes, they're taking it to La Sombras mansion. Deep below underground in a basement where he keeps all of his stolen artifacts."
"That's not good." Said Miles thinking what to do.
"At least we have the trapiche rock. There's nothing we can do about the statue, but now we know where there taking it." Said Stella
"You have the eye of the forest!? asked Pepe
"Yes, Miles got it" Replied Stella
"Shhhhh....listen...someone is approaching" said Miles whispering.
They could hear several footsteps heading their way fast.
"Oh no, they found us!" Whispered Stella.
Miles, Stella and Pepe ran as fast as they could in the dark of the jungle. The plants kept scratching their arms and faces as they were forcing themselves through the vegetation. Miles was ahead with the machete trying to open up the way as much as possible. While Stella was rushing behind him, she trip on a rock "Ahh my ankle! I think its twisted!" Said Stella trying to get up.
"Come on Stella...hang on to me!" Said Pepe as he let Stella wrapped her arm across his shoulder for support as they continue to get away.
Miles was trying to figure out which way to take, but the strong current river block their path. He looked back and saw Pepe helping Stella trying to walk. "What happen to you!?" He asked.
"I fell and sprain my ankle, good thing Pepe was running behind me" Said Stella touching Pepe's cheek in gratitude.
"Thank you Pepe" said Miles placing his hand on his shoulder. "Which way are we going to take!? The river rapids are too strong to cross and you can't run or swim with your ankle injure!!"
Miles place his hands on his head as he was struggling to think what path to take with Stella injury. In a minute La Sombra man catch up to them and pointed their guns in their direction. "No, Miles what are we going to do!?" Stella asked in terror still hanging on to Pepe. "It will be all right, I'll make sure of it!" Said Miles trying to comfort Stella.
"Pepe I'm sorry we got you in to this?"
Said Stella with tears in her eyes.
"You didn't got me in to this...I chose to be here." answer Pepe staring at her.
"Ha ha ha" La sombra laughed as he was walking towards them. "Doctor Miles, you thought you could steal from me and get away."
"You stole the statue from the green-eyes it's not yours to claim!!" Yelled Miles
"True, but I all ready know I'm a thief but you....no, no, you're suppose to be a Doctor and help people and niños , not steal a rock from a sacred statue in the middle of the night like wild rats. But never the less, you couldn't get away....and now I want....the eye of the forest, give it back!!" He stared at them with hateful eyes.

Present day:
Early the next day before sunrise. Arnold was tossing and turning as he felt someone seating next to him. He opened his eyes gently as the blurry image in front of him took shape.
"Mom!" He whispered in excitement as he tried stand up.
"Hello Arnold, stay down, for my moment is very brief, I come with a message."
Arnold's eyes began to water as he saw his mother concern in front of him.
"Mom, what's wrong!?"
"She has so much strength, but she's also very fragile and she's in danger....you must go to her now."
"But, I don't know where she is and the eye of the forest doesn't show me the way."
She gazed at him with soft loving eyes and run her fingers lightly through his hair.
He closed his eyes and gasped as he felt her soft hand through his hair. There was a tenderness to her touch that made him feel safe and loved.
"Oh Arnold, you don't need the rock anymore." She gently place her hand over his chest "You are Yeh cocone den and the fire is now within you...for you have rise, from the never ending sleep."
"You mean....I was.."
His mother looked at him with kindness in her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid my son...for the great eagle spirit awoke you and now the prophecy will be fulfill."
His eyes were wide trying to comprehend what he had heard, but even if he had hundreds of questions in his mind, one person stood above all. "Mom, help me find her." he asked with tears running down his cheeks.
His mother leaned down and whisper in his here. "Use...your heart."
He opened his eyes and could still feel the warmth of her presence as if she was still there, even thou he couldn't see her. He look around the shed and saw Jones sleeping by the corner undisturbed by any noise. It was clear, no one had been there and if she were, she had vanished.
Was is it real or a dream? Oh Mom, why didn't I hug you? Why did I let you go?
Thought Arnold saddened by the memory. Then his heart accelerated as he look up.
"Helga needs me!" He whispered.
Arnold stood up, took his whip and walked outside the shed. His hands had become sweaty, his heart kept pumping almost jumping out of his chest as he was feeling useless not knowing where Helga was. "No Arnold think!" He told himself as he was walking in circles.
The sun began to rise on the east, as the chill morning began to warm up.
He took a deep breath as he sat on a log looking down in desperation with his hands on his head. "Helga needs me!!! And what did my mother meant when she said, the fire is now within you?"
He grabbed the green-eye amulet and remembered his mother's words.
Use your heart.
"How can I see the forest and find Helga without using the trapiche rock?" He asked himself.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes remembering Helga's words I'm here with you because I felt in my heart this was my place, like a calling that I had to answer. I don't feel like being here with you it's a mistake, this trip is not a mistake....we have a purpose here and you are, the chosen one.
At that moment he could see the beautiful landscape from above, like soaring through the air, he felt the wind as it touch his face and sense Helga, who was sleeping inside a cave and saw Jorge awake and worried. He flew down to the river and saw some man tracking their footsteps. That's when he opened his eyes.
"They're safe, for now....I need to reach them fast!" As he was about to leave, Jones walked outside the shed.
"Leaving early?" Jones Asked
"I'm sorry sir but I have to go, my friends are in danger."
"In that case let me help you."
"I have to go now, I don't have much time...I can manage alone."
"It's always better if you have a guide that knows the forest."
"I do know the forest Jones and I know where my friends are!"
Jones laughed "How can you possibly know the forest and the location of your friends!?"
"I just do...I have to go!" Arnold was walking away when Jones yelled from afar.
"All right! But some parts of the jungle are impenetrable, the vegetation is too dense, you need someone to cut the way through. I have a machete we can travel faster that way...let me help you."
Arnold didn't like the idea of having Jones following him, but he needed all the help he could get and he had to travel fast to reach them in time. "I'll show you the path we have to take, we just have to be fast, can you keep up if I run?" Arnold asked.
"Are you kidding, I can endure any speed" said Jones as he followed Arnold through the jungle.
Later that morning Jorge walked outside the cave and wondered. What are we going to do? All of the sudden, the sounds of the birds and small creates all around stopped singing, the jungle was silence, a terrifying, cold chill ran down his spine. He gasped for air as he ran to the cave to awake her.
Helga couldn't sleep well during the night and had overslept that morning.
"Helga I think they found us!!And your shirt... is glowing!!"
Helga pulled the green-eye amulet from under her shirt that was now bright green.
"It's the amulet....it must be Arnold!!" said Helga staring at the amulet.
"No Helga, who ever found us is not Arnold!"
Said Jorge.
"But why would the amulet be glowing!?" She asked.
"It must be some other sign, my father once said, if the jungle is quiet something is wrong!We have to go now!!!"
Helga quickly grabbed her backpack and headed outside the cave with Jorge, when suddenly, without warning, gun shots began firing in their direction.
The sound of the powerful gunshots across the jungle shook the air violently.
Jorge grabbed Helga by her hand and pulled her to the dense vegetation in front of him. "JUST KEEP ON RUNNING HELGA DON'T STOP!!!" Yelled Jorge as he continued to move fast behind her. "CRIMITY!!!" Shouted Helga as she was trying to make it through large thick plants. The thundering gun shots kept firing, while Helga ran through the rough vegetation getting scratched on her legs as she was rushing through the tangled shrubs. Suddenly Jorge yelled in pain Ahhhhh!!!!!!
Helga looked back to find Jorge trying to run with his arm bleeding.
"Just go....don't slow down!!!" cried Jorge in pain as they continue to move fast through the diverse vegetation. All of the sudden Helga trip on a large tree root and fell on the ground scraping her knee. Ouch!!!!Shit! She yelled as she saw a couple of man catch up to them.
While Helga was on the ground kneading her knee one of them walked up to her. "I got you girl!!" Said the filthy man with a wicked smiled but before he could get a hold of her, she kicked him in the groin, the man dropped to the ground in agony. "GET HER!!" someone yelled.
Helga looked up and saw Jorge trying to fight off one of them, without warning another man swung his fist at her, she reacted fast and grabbed his arm and twisted it, while she did a high side quick slamming her foot on another man's face who was also heading towards her, knocking him hard against the dirt.
Jorge punch the guy he was fighting on his face and again on his stomach causing the guy to kneel down suffocated by the blow.
He gazed his eyes upon Helga who had kicked the man she had by the arm and strike him hard on his face with her foot slamming his body on the ground.
"Wow you're amazing, who taught you how to fight like that!?" Asked Jorge trying to catch his breath.
"Arnold did" Said Helga with a tiring smile, as they were both about to get away someone put a gun to Jorge's head.
"Don't do anything güerita or I'll kill him." Said the man who was pointing the gun to Jorge.
"Helga ran! Don't worry about me!" Yelled Jorge
"I...can't, I'm sorry" Said Helga as she was snatch by another man from behind.
"I got you preciosa, you're a feisty one aren't you." Said the man who had Helga's arms pin behind her back. "Uhh...Do you have any weapons on you blondie?"
"Search her!" Shouted the man who was holding Jorge.
"Si señor!" Responded the man, slowly sliding his hands on her thighs and breast.
"No la toquen! leave her alone!! She doesn't have any weapons!!" Yelled Jorge
"Arnold" whispered Helga in hopelessness as she shut her eyes.
Notes:
Arnold saw his mother after so many years of not seeing her, not even in his dreams. I wanted that encounter to be special and very meaningful.
We also got to see a glimpse of the past, which was very interesting. What do you think about Pepe?
Thank you for following and for your comments, next chapter will be a very good one.
