Feels Like Friendship
It was the middle of the night and Marissa heard crying as she saw two people. The male looked familar but the woman. "Merlin.... she's beauitful! What do you want to call her?" she asked him. Merlin looked unsure.
"Morganus after the Druid goddess of the Moon." he answered her as the baby's eyes glowed with blue light like Marissa's......
Artie saw Marissa wake up sad. He wondered what was wrong with her but she wouldn't tell him.
Merlin saw anger in her eyes.
"I know what're you hiding Dad." she whispered.
The elderly wizard nearly had a conniption fit at that.
"How did you figure out?" he whispered.
"I had a dream and it was about my birth. I see why I have powers. Why is Charming after me?" Marissa told him angrily.
"He seeks the magic within you to bring his mother back but to do it, a life must be taken in her place and I know whose life it'll be." he answered.
"Who?" Marissa said.
"Yours. That's why we hid you on Earth so he wouldn't get to you and make you do it." Merlin explained with tears in his eyes.
He saw her get up and leave the room.
The others wondered why Marissa was in a bad mood but she didn't want to say anything but she sat outside star gazing as Artie joined her. "You okay? You seemed pretty angry at Merlin. Is something going on?
You can tell me." he asked her. Marissa looked into his green eyes. They seemed to shine in the evening moonlight like gems.
"It's nothing..... Just your eyes, the moon light makes them sparkle." she said blushing but Artie didn't talk.
She then felt her lips and his touch in a kiss. Feelings rushed through her like some unknown magic. Suddenly fireflies surrounded them as they broke the kiss.
They were unaware that Shrek had seen them and was concerned along with Merlin. They knew Marissa would return to her world and if she did, it would hurt Artie like Gwen.
"W-What are you doing there? Were you spying on me?" Artie asked angrily as Merlin saw Marissa go off alone. Artie went to follow her but Shrek stopped him. "We need to talk Artie.
Besides Merlin will find her, okay?" he said as they went inside.......
