Chapter 5
I walked through the streets of the town soaking wet. I was wearing an exercise top that showed my stomach, skintight shorts and absolutely nothing on my feet. Boy, the perks of morphing.
I came up to a really pretty house. It was white with blue trimming. It looked new and had three floors. The yard was fairly big and it had a curving driveway.
I grinned at seeing the "for sale" sign stuck into the ground. I happily walked up the driveway. This was going to be my home, for now at least. Where else was I going to stay?
There was a small stick lying on the ground near the door. 'Perfect.' I thought as I picked it up. I stuck it into the lock and tried to pick it open. My brother taught me how to do this. Don't ask me how he knew.
After about five failed attempts, I finally got the door open. "Yay!" I cheered.
The house was dark inside. I found a light switch and tried turning it on, but it refused to work. "Aw damn! The power's out?" I asked myself.
Bored out of my mind, I found my way up the stairs and onto the third floor. There was only one huge room up there, but I liked it.
I looked outside and saw that the storm had somewhat settled down. But, remembering what Tobias said about it being a hurricane. I figured the eye of the storm was just about over me.
What kind of a mess had I gotten myself into now? I should have listened to Tobias, but nooooo I had to go screw up.
All I could do now was hope that Tobias would get the others so they could come and find me. I didn't even remember what direction I came from.
I was helpless, and I hated being helpless.
"Sixty three bottles of beer on the wall sixty three bottles of beer! Take one down pass it around sixty thr-." I stopped, mid sentence.
Sam! I heard someone inside my head.
"Marco?" I asked.
Outside the window. He told me.
I went over to the window and saw his bird self. Boy, was I glad to see him. I opened the window and let him fly in.
He landed and started to morph back. I turned my head quickly so I wouldn't see his transformation.
"You can look now." He laughed.
I turned my head to see him, now fully human and wearing spandex. I laughed too, "How'd you find me?" I asked.
"Tobias told us that you flew off into the storm. He said he tried to warn you." Marco told me.
"He did." I said.
"Well, Tobias was really worried so that got me worried-."
I interrupted him, "You were worried about me?" I asked with I smile.
I saw him blush slightly, "Well yeah." He said.
We looked at each other for a moment before he started up again. "Anyway, Jake said we should wait for the storm to end and then go look for you. But I disagreed, after our little meeting I went out to look for you. My super bird eyes spotted you here after a while."
"Great!" I exclaimed, "So now we can go! Where'd you come from?"
"That way," Marco said pointing. "No… wait it was that way." He sounded uncertain as he pointed in the opposite direction. "No, I was right the first time. No, maybe I wasn't."
"Oh, this is great." I muttered.
