Skipper POV
Brown fur and hazel eyes emerged. I gasped. "Marlene! But why?" I yelled at her. She scooted away with her one good arm and hugged her knees to her chest.
"You don't understand, do you? I have always been called 'Innocent, Sweet, Naïve Marlene. And I'm sick of it!" She yelled at me. I stumbled back a bit at her change in attitude. "You guys look after me too much. I wanted to be independent for once. So, I devised a plan after you helped me back to my habitat. The plan was that I would fake my capture, be the villain and win. I'd spy on you when you all were training. I'd secretly sneak back to my habitat and practice the moves until they were perfect. Then I set the scene, broke bottles, smashed my spare guitar and rip all of my old photos. I used paint and made a bloody colour and smeared it over the floor. I made a ransom note and put it underneath my pillow. All I had to do was put on my costume and set up the sign and there, a fake kidnapping. However, my plan failed because I didn't expect the unexpected." She growled and quickly struck her left eyelid and cheek, making 3 scars and drawing blood. She turned away and started crying.
I just stood there and took it all in. Then I snapped out of my daze and walked over to Marlene. I stopped next to her and crouched down. I gently touched her shoulder. She turned her head and growled gently. "Rico. Bandages, please." I asked the psychotic penguin. He gave me the bandages and I wrapped the line of stretchy bandage around her left eye and cheek. After I wrapped it around her, I saw her right eye start to droop and she fell asleep. As she fell back, I caught her and scooped her up into my flippers. We all walked in silence to the HQ. I still couldn't believe that someone as innocent as Marlene could make up a plan like that.
When we got to the HQ, I placed Marlene on my bunk and stroke away from her, allowing Kowalski, Private and Rico to take a look at her. I walked over to the TV and turned it on. I tried to distract myself with a crime fighting duo TV show but it made me think of her more as one of the main characters saved a girl from a fire. I sighed and turned the TV off. When she wakes up, she's going to get what she deserves…
Guess you didn't expect that did you! Well, what's Skipper going to do? You'll have to wait and see!
