《The boy down the river》Chapter 7
Advertisement
(Marco's POV)
"Eh? Reed?!" I pushed him off me. He pouted and slid into the river, "Hey! Get back here river-boy~" I sang playfully, again he didn't come up from the water, and no bubbles.... It was like he wasn't there at all.... Sort of inhuman, in some ways.
"River-boy~ Come out~ Maybe your hiding down there, but if your not coming out I'm going in~" I said, as I slowly took off my shirt to prepare to dive into the river. Both of my legs slipped in, followed by the rest of my body.
I opened my eyes.
(Nobody's POV)
Reed sat down in the river.... He was a bit flustered by his lovers reaction. Marco was behind him. His eyes wide. His lover looked different.... He was some kind of siren/merman, in his current form, patches of scales glistened in places.
Marco was horrified, why didn't Reed tell him? Did Reed not trust him? He was confused and felt betrayed in some way.... A few seconds later he unfroze and swam up to the surface.
After stumbling out of the water he tried to hide behind some tall reeds. Why did he think that Reed trusted him, all this time? He failed to hide his chocolate-brown, fluffy hair. He started too cry. Why didn't Reed just tell him before, did he do something to seem untrustworthy? He was so confused. There were signs Reed wasn't human before, why didn't he notice them?!
(Reed's POV)
After I had recovered from my fluster and transform into a human again, I swam up to the river-bank, I wanted too see Marco again, hear his sweet voice say 'Hey river-boy~' to me once again. I reached the surface and heard a soft sob from the reeds, I noticed the fluffy, brown hair peeking out of the reeds and realised who it was.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked nervously, while crawling up to him. "G-go away! Monster! W-why didn't you t-tell me?!" He sobbed, trying to get away from me as quickly as possible. "Monster?! What do you mean?! What did I not tell you?!" I yelled, angry that the person I trusted called me a 'Monster'! Tears streaming down his face, he tried to crawl away, scared but also hurt at the same time.
Why did I yell at him? I shouldn't have done that.... He doesn't trust me anymore..... "Come back! What did I do?" I don't understand.... Did I do something wrong?
(Marco's POV)
As I got away I remembered the girl and curious, I ran to see what she wanted.
"Hello.... I have a request.... There are certain rumors that sirens live here, I hunt them. I want you to help me catch one at least.... I could get you out of that orphanage. If you deny my offer I will hunt it on my own. I can find one by myself, I just want to have some company, I felt you would be willing to help." I felt nervous. Would I accept....?

In 1991, Montreal, Canada, an end approaches.

Constructive criticism always welcome, unconstructive criticism welcome with the caveat that I very well might ignore it. Written for Nanowrimo, because why not.
