Mary stared at the man, he was very handsome. He had dark brown hair and gray eyes that seemed to hypnotise her.
"What? Oh yes, I am ok, just a little frightened." She said as she shook her head, trying to get the feeling of being controlled away.
"That's wonderful, I am over joyed. Well, would you care to take a walk with me? It is such a lovely evening, and I would love to have the pleasure of such a beautiful young woman to enjoy it with me." He said slyly.
Bert knew he was up to something. Mary smiled at Bert and then looked back to the man in the door. "I would love to." She replied.
This was her way of getting back at Bert, but unbeknownsed to her, this was all apart of the handsome man's plan and it was about to go the way he wanted.
"I apologize for this but, what is your name? It must have slipped my mind." Mary said as they walked along the sidewalk.
"Mathew, and I've known you for quite sometime, and may I tell you a secret?" He asked.
"Yes of course." Mary replied.
"I have a way for you to forget all that has happened, and it also fixes everything as well." He said.
Mary stopped abruptly, she would forget everything? Even the children? But that would also mean there mother would be all right, and Bert could continue seeing that woman who must love him dearly.
"Well my dear? Do you wish for all the pain to stop?" He asked moving a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.
She couldn't believe she was letting a man whom she couldn't recall get so close to her, he had just touched her and offered to take her pain away.
"At what cost?" She asked as tears formed in her eyes.
"Just a kiss." He whispered in her ear, and her mouth dropped open, but she immediatley snapped it shut when she realized it was open. She couldn't believe what he'd just asked, but she had to think quickly, or he might change his mind.
Bert paced back and forth. What was wrong with Mary, when she'd looked at him, her eyes were no longer dark blue full of love for everyone, but a crystal like color, that looked hypnotisesed.
He thought about the man at the door and who he might be, but what would he want with Mary? She had nothing that was worth taking, because you can't give your magic away, no matter what you try, but still, what could he want?
"What can he be after?" Bert asked himself as he stopped pacing.
There was another knock at the door and Bert, knowing everyone was asleep, answered it.
"Bert! You've got to save Mary!" The man said quickly as soon as he opened the door.
"Uhh, sir? I don't know what you mean." Bert said a little uneasy, and confused.
"It's him! The man who came to your door not to long ago." He answered.
"Ok, who are you?" Bert asked.
"I was Mary's umbrella head, the parrot? The man is the wind and also, she put that curse on her a long time ago." Parrot said trying to calm down after running a long way.
"Was he the one who made that woman appear from no wheres and kiss me?" Bert asked pushing his cap back farther on his head.
"Yessir, and also who caused Mrs. Banks to be shot." Parrot answered.
"What does he plan to do?" Bert asked.
Parrot looked at him with dark eyes. "He's going to kill her, with just one kiss."
Oh ho ho, another cliffy! (shruggs) Oh well, find out later what happens to her.
