Arnold's greatest treasure and the secret of the green stone

The stranger

It was pitch black and empty with only stone walls to guide the way. She was afraid as she walked the unsecured path , afraid to feel alone, afraid for what may come. As she walked deeper and deeper inside the tunnel she heard a single, terrifying scream unlike anything she has heard before.A cold chill when down her spine as she jumped in to Arnold's arms. "Don't worry Helga I'll protect you and I won't let anyone hurt you, you're my greatest treasure" Said Arnold as he held her tightly in his arms. Helga pressed her lips in to his and breathe him in as she embraced him and whispered "Don't leave me" with tears in her eyes. He gazed at her and kissed the tip of her nose and said "I told you long ago...I won't give up and I will never, leave you."

Helga opened her eyes to find Jorge staring in silence at the fire, he looked concerned and in despaired. She sighed remembering her dream and noticed Arnold wasn't with them still. Arnold my dearest beloved, how can I doubt your existence in this world, when you have shown so much strength and endurance in my life. My dream remind me just that and it's true, the precious words you kept telling me over and over again when I almost died in your arms, you said...I won't leave you and I won't give up.... and I won't either...I'll continue to be strong and will never stop fighting to survive, because that's the Helga G Pataki you expect me to be. I love you Football Head, for my soul will endure and I will always have you in the highest thrown of my beating heart, where you will always rule wearing the heavy decorated crown, of my love. Thought Helga as a single warm tear run down her cheek.

Jorge noticed Helga moving. "How do you feel?" He asked.
"I can't say." She replied with sadness.
"Come and eat something, I have berries and I was able to a fish, apparently my fishing skills are not that bad."

Helga was quiet staring at the fire "I'm not hungry." She said with a low voice.

"You have to eat something or you will pass out again. Come on, at least have some berries and take more of this tea."

Helga grabbed the hot cup of tea "Was I drinking this? What kind of tea is it?"

"It's from a special medicine plant it helps to regulate blood pressure among other things. Come on drink it, you need to stay strong."

Helga begin sipping the tea "It taste horrible!"

"I never said it tasted good." He smirked at her.

"You know Jorge, I never thank you for saving my life and..."

"It's okay Helga and you don't have to, I did what I believe was right and I wasn't going to let you died. That's why I want to become a doctor some day, I feel the calling to help others and to save lives."

"And you will become an amazing Doctor one day." Said Helga looking up to Jorge.

Jorge sighed "Helga, I apologize for...Ummm....earlier, about the kiss. I shouldn't have kiss you back." Said Jorge blushing with a guilty smile on his face.

"You were very lucky Arnold didn't saw that or he would have punch you in the face....but, I can't blame you though, I mean... if I was a guy and a beautiful smart blonde girl kissed me like that, I think...would have done the same." She laughed.

He smiled "Then I'm lucky Arnold didn't saw me stealing a kiss from his girl....it's good to see you laugh, I sure hope you began to feel better in some way."

There were both in silence for a minute.

"So...do you think Arnold survive?" He asked her gently, almost not wanting to bring that conversation up.
