A Taste Of Payback

A Prize To Be Won Over

''Where the hell is she? Why the fuck do they have to do this? It makes no sense! Pshhh. They treat me like i'm just some prize to be won over. Spain's just a greedy bastard who needs to learn how to keep his hands to himself, why can't he just understand that mom would never give me up! But no. He has to be a dumb-ass and declare war on her! They're going to fight for my own damn fate! I didn't even get a say in this. I'm not going to leave mom no matter what. This is so messed up. The Spanish coming over is the worst thing that happened here. I just know it. Everything seems fine now, but wait for it. Just wait. Nothing good can come out of this. Things are going to get ugly pretty soon..." Tenochtitlan rambled to herself as she stomped around the house looking for her mother. 'He's such a creep...', the little frustrated capitol thought to herself. She was actually flattered that he would go through such great lengths to have her, but at the same time, she felt disgusted. She threw open the big doors that led her to the garden. She anxiously wandered around the exotic plants until she finally found Aztec by the pond. Tenochtitlan crossed her arms and cleared her throat loudly, commanding to be heard. Aztec turned around and smiled when she noticed who it was. "Hello darling. Is there something you need?", the little girl tapped her foot. "Yes. An explanation.", she said sternly. "Excuse me?" Aztec wasn't sure what her daughter was talking about. "You know what i'm talking about. You and Spain.". Aztec's smile faded but then it came back. This time it was soft. ''Honey, listen, I didn't want to fight with him but it's the only way. He just wouldn't listen to me. I would never let you go. Don't worry, we're all strong warriors here. Including you my love. And besides, do you seriously think I would loose you to such a moron?", she asked with a smile. Tenochtitlan couldn't help but smile. "Yea you're rite. He doesn't stand a chance.", then she got more serious, "So you better win", she said pointing a finger at her mothers chest before stomping away. Aztec couldn't help but laugh at her daughter's descending figure. ''What an interesting daughter I have", she said once the capitol was out of hearing range.

Tenochtitlan walked along the market enjoying the sun as she slowly got less worried. She noticed one of Spain's soldiers. She skipped up to him and tugged on his sleeve. "Hey...hey. Hey!", the soldier finally looked down at her. "What is it?", he asked annoyed. "What's your name?" she asked kindly. "Fernando." , the soldier answered while he looked at some chili. "Well Fernando, wanna know a secret?" she asked with fake anticipation dripping in her voice. "No" Fernando stated. "Okay okay! I'll tell you!", she moved so she was standing in front him. The soldier rolled his eyes. 'Dios mio. This girl is so obnoxious and tiring. Why does Spain want her so badly? He already has an annoying little brat at home. He doesn't need another one. Know what's that kid's name? I know he's a country.....South something. Hmmm what's that name he goes by? Ro....Ro something. Romenino....no. Romantino. Oh no. That's not it. Shit. Why can't I remember!'. He was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts as Tenochtitlan tugged on him hard so they were face to face. "Did you know that Spain's going to war with my mom?" The soldier looked at her plainly. "No. I didn't know. But i'm not surprised. Let me guess. Is it over you?", he asked boredly. She let out an over dramatic gasp. "Oh my! Yes it is! Your dear country wants ME as his own little colony! But you wanna know another secret?" she said as she pulled him closer. "You guys are going to lose. You're going to loose badly and you'll all have to leave with nothing but the clothes on your back", she said in a low tone while she narrowed her eyes. Fernando looked at her surprised. He was taken aback by the sudden change in tone and it sort of scared him to hear that coming from a little girl. She pushed him back up roughly. ''My people wont let you win" she said before finally walking away, smiling as soon as she turned around. The soldier just looked at her dumbfounded. "What the hell....", he was too confused to even think and left without buying anything.
