Cross of Swords: Part 10:
Ancient Ruins in Merida Mexico
Next Day

The next day, Chris and Cat were back in Mexico at the same place Chris had just come from. "So this is where you and Will met?" Cat asked as the two were setting up camp.

"Right over on top of that pyramid, although then it was just a hill. It was only discovered only a few decades ago."

"And Will was the only one still living that knew about it? It's so beautiful in an ugly sort of way."

"It was beautiful until Hurricane Andrew, a few months ago, damaged it. The legend was, that this is Holy Ground until the top of the temple is damaged. Then the demons would take it over.*"

"So we can fight here? It's no longer Holy Ground?"

"The only way for it to become Holy Ground again, is for a storm so powerful to hit that it would frighten away the demons."

"Don't you feel weird here being with all the demons? I have the creeps now."

"The only demon I am scared of is Kenny."

"And you're sure he's going to be here?"

"No, but it makes sense that he would be."

"But why here?"

"He knows that this was our special place. And this is where I would go for revenge. Tomorrow it will have been 50 years since I swore my revenge. He knows Will is buried here, and he knows this is where I will be waiting for him."

"But how does he know?"

"Kenny knows a lot more than you think. How he knows I am not sure. He knew I was going to be your teacher. Now let's go to sleep. We may have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."

"Chris?"

"Yes Cat."

"I just wanted to thank you. You've helped me start to change. And if anything happens to you tomorrow, I'll die trying to live out your revenge."

"That means a lot to me, thank you."

"Goodnight Chris."

"Goodnight."
