Ministry of San Juan
In the Ministry of San Juan, another situation was happening...something different from the Boogeyman...everyone was in shock as they knew that Uriel had a date…
“Is it true? He’s going on a date with a girl?” Fabiola asks with discontent as she climbs the stairs. Estrella follows her nervously as she replies; “That’s right...at least that’s what I heard…”
Fabiola reaches Uriel’s room as she says; “Well, I’m going to ask him directly…”
“Fabiola, wait…” Estrella tries to stop her but she trips pushing Fabiola.-PPPUUMM- Both of them fall; “Ouch...that hurt…”
Fabiola and Estrella look up and see a shirtless Uriel. Uriel walks towards them; “Are you okay?”
Fabiola and Estrella’s faces get red as they see his six-pack. They immediately stand up and begin to run as they scream; “SSSOORRYYY!”
“Oh wow...you sure are strong...hijo…” Maria says as she walks to his room. Uriel puts his dark blue buttoned shirt on as he says; “But, I’m not as strong as I want to…”
Maria sits on his bed and crosses her legs; “You know, I’m happy...you are having a regular date, like a regular teenager. Uriel chuckles; “Well, I am only doing what I promised Chelsea...that’s all…”
“I see…” Maria stands up and straightens his shirt neck as she says; “Just remember to have fun okay...enjoy the moment…”
“I will…”
“I have another favor to ask you…”
“What is it?”
“Take care of your sister...I understand that she will wait for Alejandro right? Please keep an eye on her…”
“Don’t worry...I will, but she is strong, she is perhaps stronger than me…” Uriel replies as he opens a portal; “Well...I’m off…”
“Goodbye hijo...thank you for visiting…” Maria waves at him as he closes the portal. Maria with a warm smile says; “Have fun…”

At that same time…
A portal opens in the spot where he and Chelsea agreed on, which is next to the mall, in a place where no one is looking. Standing next to the portal is Chelsea who is wearing a black short skirt, and a white strappy blouse with a black jacket. She is holding a purse.
Uriel appears from the portal; “Did I keep you waiting?”
“No, I just got here?” Chelsea says to Uriel. She hugs his arm and says; “Alright...let’s go have fun…”
“Okay…” Uriel says to Chelsea as they are about to enter the mall. Suddenly, Victoria and Angela who were eating in the food court look at them; “Look...it’s Uriel and Chelsea…”
“Y-Y-Yeah, they look like a couple…” Angela replies with a shy tone. Victoria stands up looking angry; “Let’s follow them...that two timing cheater…”
Uriel had his own fight to deal with…
At that same time…
“Where am I?” Stefan looks around as he slowly walks inside on what it appears to be cave:
“I must find the kid as soon as possible…”
Stefan runs deeper as the roots slowly begin to follow him.
As the sun begins to set...He will awaken once again...The Boogeyman will rise...Stefan is in major trouble...
Unknown…
The sun is up in the sky shining everywhere in the borderland...located up north, before reaching the forest...there is an old giant tree located in the desert...in that tree there is a legend…
The Legend of El Coco or Boogeyman...it is said that the Boogeyman lives in the oldest tree where they plant the children who misbehave and eat them after they are matured….it is also said that the Boogeyman is able to appear under the bed or in the closet…
He sleeps during the day and moves at night…The Boogeyman is now asleep as the sun is up, however, the sun begins to set…

Stefan walks carefully in the cave, the cave is narrow and humid causing Stefan to sweat a lot. Stefan carefully approaches one room thinking; “Damn it...as soon as I enter the portal, I fall down and hit my head unconscious...I must hurry…”
Stefan uses the flashlight on his phone to illuminate the path because it is dark. Stefan sees two paths, a right one and a left one. Stefan chooses the right one and slowly walk towards it:
“I wonder what it is at the end of this tunnel…” Stefan’s eyes open widely as he sees the Boogeyman sitting in an old trunk in the shape of a throne. Stefan covers the light and puts his hands on his mouth to avoid screaming.
The Boogeyman appears to be asleep, he has his eyes closed. Stefan slowly begins to walk backwards and exits that room. The Boogeyman who is supposed to be asleep smiles. Stefan takes a deep breath and says:
“That was a close one…”
Stefan reaches the end of the tunnel, and looks at another corridor, however, the corridor is different. The corridor has children tried up by branches in the walls. Stefan is horrified for what he is seeing:
“This can’t be…”
There are about 15 children tied up and other 5 children lying on the ground. Stefan slowly walks towards one of them; “Hey, are you alright? Hey…”
Stefan touches the kid, Stefan opens his eyes wider; “It can’t be…” Stefan sees that the kid has been mummified and missing a couple of limbs. Stefan falls back as he notices that all the children in the ground are the same, they are all dead.
Stefan with a frightened expression begins to throw up. As he coughs up,he points the flashlight up and sees that the children hanging on the wall are still alive. Stefan quickly looks for Luis.
“Luis...where are you?” Stefan moves and sees Luis hanging at the end. Luis slowly opens his eyes; “Mister...are you a weird mister?”
Stefan feels a boulder that says “Weirdo” falls on his head; “Yeah, it’s me…”
“Where am I? Where is my sister?”
“I don’t know, butlisten, I’m going to get you out of here okay...but we need to be quiet…” Stefan suddenly hears a noise and immediately turns off the light. Stefan hides in the corner, Luis begins to say; “Don’t leave us…”
“I won’t, just stay quiet...for a moment...and don’t scream…”
The Boogeyman enters the corridor waking everyone up. The children who are scared begin to cry. The Boogeyman begins to laugh; “I really enjoy looking at your fearful faces...the fear...that’s why I became the Boogeyman...I really enjoy eating you children…”
“MAMA...HELP….” Children scream as they see the Boogeyman. The Boogeyman grabs a kid and says; “This is what happens to those who misbehave…”
The Boogeyman begins to eat a child in front of the others. The others begin to scream and cry. Stefan is frozen on what he just saw. The Boogeyman finishes eating the child and throws the leftovers to the ground; “This one was rotten...I will try a girl instead...but that would be for later...and I choose you…”
The Boogeyman points at Lucia (Luis’ sister) ; he walks away slowly as he bursts into laughter. The children begin to cry and call out for their parents. Stefan stands up and with a determined expression says:
“I need to save these children…”
