WAKING UP IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE

SHEILA

“Where are we? I need to go find my girlfriend.”

“You should be more worried about yourself, Alberto. We've been captured.”

“Sheila, what happened? I just remember being chased by jaguars. We were looking for a flower to make the conversion potion.”

“Alberto, it's complicated. Those creatures killed you, but the elder Sancho resurrected you through a ritual. Don't you remember?”

“My head hurts when I try to remember, but I'm full of worry about my Mariana, my heart, the most beautiful woman I've ever scented on this earth. Do you know what happened to her?”

“You're the typical love struck fool. You should be asking why we're tied to these beds, in this room that doesn't look like a hospital. I'm terrified by the smell of anesthesia.”

“You're right. I didn't even notice these ropes; they're really tight. That doesn't necessarily mean the shaman's army captured us. In a way, this makes it easier for me to free my Mariana.”

“You're wrong; it wasn't the jaguars.”
