Above is what Cucurucho used to look like before he experimented on himself.  !!Bit of blood warning!!
It had been about a month since Cucurucho kidnapped me. I only knew that because he gave me a clock and a calendar. During that month, I had been sent out time and time again to kill my parents. Each time I came back unsuccessful, which was each time since my body hasn't had the proper time to heal from the explosion, I got beat. I'm pretty sure I have a few broken bones. The door to my room opened and Cucurucho walked in.

"It's been a month and still no one has come to rescue you," Cucurucho said with a sickening smile. "How sad. I guess your parents don't love you as much as you thought."

I felt anger boil inside me. I knew my parents loved me. I'm sure they are working on a plan to save me. I'm sure of it. Kind of. In all honesty, I've started losing hope. I'm starting to think I'll be stuck here forever. I mean I haven't even seen Techno since the cuffs blew up. Maybe it has to do with the mask?

"You're going on another mission," my brother stated. "If you don't kill them this time then I'll kill you. I should have killed you a long time ago. Consider it mercy for being my brother. You fail your mission this time and I won't give you that mercy anymore."

With that my body walked outside to find my parents. Finding them was easier today than it had been for the past month. They were sitting on a bench that overlooked a lake. It was peaceful. To bad the same thing that has happened for a month will happen again. I'll attack them, they'll defend until I get tired, blood will stain the grass, I'll get sent back to the Federation, and this time I'll get killed.

As if on que, my body went to attack Pa. This time, however, Pa turned around before I hit him and blocked my attack. I got tackled to the ground by Papa and Pa used that opportunity to get the axe out of my hands. Papa had me pinned to the ground as my body kept struggling against him. Pa came back over once my axe was out of reach and grabbed the mask that was on my face. Once the mask was removed, I gained control over my body again and stopped trying to fight Papa.

Papa stood up and helped me to my feet. I wrapped my arms around him and began to cry. Pa joined the hug and we stood there for a good 5 minutes while I cried in their arms. We broke away from the hug as I heard someone walking closer. I saw Jaiden, Cellbit, and Roier walking towards us. Jaiden had a backpack that was almost overflowing with medical supplies. She gave me a quick examination and wrapped up all of the new and old wounds I had. My body hurt like hell as it was broken and battered. My vision in my right eye was gone but my hearing had returned.

Pa picked me up carefully and carried me back to our house with Papa walking next to us. Once we got home, I was set down on my bed.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Pa said quietly with tears in his eyes as he held my face gently in his hands.

"We're sorry it took so long to get you," Papa said as he sat down next to me.

"I'm glad you got me out when you did," I whispered. "Cucurucho would have killed me if I had gone back without killing you two today."

We heard knocking on the main door and Pa got up to go answer it. He returned a few seconds later with Wilbur, Tallulah, Bad, Dapper, Foolish, Vagetta, and Leo. Llulah, Dapper, and Leo ran to me with tears in their eyes. They tackled me into a hug which hurt quiet a bit. They immediately apologized and I said that everything was okay. The four of us sat there and cried together for a while as our parents watched with saddened yet relieved expressions.

"Have you guys been able to see Tommy, Ant, or Puffy lately?" I asked my friends after a while.

"No," Llulah responded. "Have you been able to see Techno?"

"No," I said. "I thought it might have been because of the mask but I guess not. It's okay. They'll show up eventually."

After dinner, everyone left and I was taken back to my room. I fell asleep the second my head hit my pillow. My last thought was that Techno would surely show up soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once again, I was wrong. It had been two months since the cuffs blew up and none of us could seen our Tíos. Tallulah and Dapper had lost hope and Leonarda was starting to believe them. I still had hope though that one day I would see Techno again. On the plus side, my parents weren't fighting anymore and Pa was staying with Papa and I permanently. The three of us had gotten closer as well.

I was at Tallulah's house right now. I was trying to get her to believe that we would see our Tíos again soon.

"It's been two months Chay and we still can't see them!" Tallulah stated, obviously tired of me.

"So what. We know that we saw them. They're probably still watching us and we just can't see them right now," I told her with no luck of changing her mind.

"Just give it up, Chayanne! We can't see them so quit pretending!" Tallulah yelled. I looked at her with an equally surprised and shocked look. She must have realized this because she tried to apologize while walking toward me.

I wasn't going to give up on Tío Techno. Not yet. I knew I could get him back, I just had to figure out how. With a wave of determination, I looked at Tallulah one more time before turning around and leaving. The look of regret and pain on her face as I left is one thing I will never forget. I felt glad that she regretted it but at the same time I hated that I felt glad about that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A month passed and now Leo believed Tallulah and Dapper. Even though they had seen Techno, Papa and even Pa started to believe that it was all a part of my imagination.

I was currently walking back home from a quick adventure I went on. I was walking through the forest. It was kinda peaceful to be honest.

"You've lost your friends now too."
