Max Murphy Mayan Archeologist
I’m in the jungle, terrified, hungry and I don't know where I’m going. I lost her and now I’m lost. I scream “Lola where are you” , I hear a faint sound that sounded like lola I follow the sound till I see her at the edge of a cave. It looks like a Jaguar with its mouth wide open waiting for someone to step in so it could swallow them up whole. “Where have you been Max Murphy” said lola “Lost again”. I hear footsteps and immediately know it’s Friar De Landa descended of Friar Diego De Landa
. “ Lets hurry inside Lola Now!” Once we were five feet in it got dark we walked till we came to a pool of water and in the center where jaguar drawings. It was kind of strange at first but then I noticed there where bones of people at the bottom of he water . Then I knew that the place I was in was a sacrifice temple for the jaguar kings. We walked in the dark and I started to think about so many things that are happening.
How did I get here this was suppose to be just a simple vacation. Me and my Family we were suppose to go to Italy this year but turn out they changed plans and now were in San Xavier, lost. My parents are lost near a temple with a scared jaguar stone that he wasn't suppose to have either way. That jaguar stone might easily get him killed. Why did my house keeper want me here did she just want to get ride of me or was it for something else. I now she doesn't like me but why would she want me to be here. Now that I think of it I think the little mayan dudes told her or she thinks they told her to send me to San Xavier. I new she was crazy just not that crazy to believe in mayan myths is just crazy. Like my parents no wonder my parents and my house keeper get along so well. My parents are expert on everything Mayan and Zia is crazy about mayan myths. They both didn't want him to be with them either. My parents always change there plans because of the mayan excavations its like they dont even care about me as much as there mayan history.It's times like these that make me feel like I shouldn't be alive.
Since I’ve been in San Xavier I have found out that my uncle smuggles priceless artifacts like the jaguar stones. Which isn't really good to have it right now because since Friar De Landa descended of De Landa is prepared to kill for it. Since lola stole the jaguar stone then I’m in trouble to. Wow its crazy how much I accomplished in a week. Soon to be ended in a minute with Friar De Landa capturing me and slicing my throat or just shooting me. “ Jump” screamed lola. We made it out of the temple. After a few short turns ,cuts ,and bruises on the raft we made it.
What just happened? “ Lola what just happened” . “While you where staring at how far the jump down was I decided to start pumping the raft but while I was pumping it I scraped it on the side of the cave. Which made a loud echo but then I heard men and so I pumped harder I tried to get you to help me but you where in some sort of shock on how far we were going to jump. I finished putting air in the raft. Then Frair De Landa came and demanded the jaguar stone so I jumped and you jumped on the raft and of the cliff. Then the scary part comes they started shooting so I had to maneuver out of bullet range. Which I did so now where in a pool of water almost out of the cave.” “What do you mean almost” “We have to let the current take use through this whole and we will be done with this. Just hold on to the raft and count to ten.” said lola. “ Okay” I start counting 1, 2,3,4,5,6 but then I start running out of air and as I start going up for a breath I have life flash over my eyes and Zia’s tamales came up in my head. Then I reach the surface as I crashed through the surface of the water I felt happy finally. “We made it”
I thought more and more about what could happen next but I relaxed because we made it out. Turns out that we didn't and I feared that something was going to happen not sure if its bad or good I just know something was going to happen. “ We are stuck here the rope that I had to get out of the temple was cut.” said lola “ most likely by Frair De Landa. I decided to pass as look around the temple as I’m looking around I noticed that there’s a map on wall so I start tilting my head. While I tilt my head I notice that theres a spot that the jaguar stone can fit. I try and put it on and it works funny thing is that everything on the map started to change as I touched it I made it change to I told Lola and she figured out that what we do on the map happens in real life. I don't normally believe in the things the Mayans did but I see what I believe.
