A Siren's Call

Chapter 4 : Shape Shift

Isaac leaves the group and goes towards the pond. Dalton follows him and he notices a golden engraved ring on his finger. "Hey," Dalton says. Isaac holds his head low and looks into the pond. "Hello...," Dalton says. "What?" Isaac asks. "Is that your ring," Dalton says. "No, my mother gave me this ring, she said it belonged to my father," Isaac says. "Take it off," Dalton says. "Why?" Isaac questions him. "Listen to me please," Dalton says. "Okay, mom told me never to take it off, I can't!" Isaac shouts with hesitation. He takes it off and looks at the pond. Isaac changes into a frog and hops to a lily pad in the pond. "What the hell?" Dalton says.

Isaac jumps out and changes back to himself. "You have the ability to shape shift," Dalton says. "I guess so, I have never done that before," he says. "What did you do?" Dalton asks. "I just wished I could become something else and jump into the pond then I became a frog," he says. "Wow," Dalton says. "You cannot tell your mother though," Dalton adds. "Why?" Isaac asks. "I think she is using those rings to control people's powers," Dalton says. "The chef has one on and he is not human," Dalton says. "How do you know," Isaac says. "His eyes they are special, I think he may be a siren that can foresee the future," Dalton says. "What?" Isaac says. "We better go back to the others, I'll explain later," Dalton says. "Put your ring back on," he adds. Isaac put the ring back on.

Dalton and Isaac head back their hiking group. Liam stares back at Dalton. "Where have you been," Liam whispers. "I'll explain it to you later," Dalton says. "Alright," Liam says. "The snake from before was trailing behind Tommy in the back of the hiking group". "I think we have a spy," Dalton whispers to Liam. Liam looks back and notices the snake again. "Hmm, pesky little fellow," he says. They kept walking until they go to a place that has a tire swing, a tree hut, and some logs to sit on. They sit down and Isaac trails off somewhere with Felix. Dalton and Liam follow them. "Where are you going," Dalton says. "Well were looking for some shrooms and we hid some weed in this tree," Isaac says. "I didn't know you were into to that sort of thing," Dalton says. "Well you need it when you live with a psycho bitch," he says.

They saw this little farm hidden in the woods. There were cows everywhere and mushrooms growing in the corner of the fence. "This was my grandfather's farm," Isaac says. "He became old, bitter, and crazy," Isaac says. "He left this farm place to us," Isaac adds. "Can we look inside," Dalton says. "Sure, get some baggies if you don't mind as well," Isaac says. "Alright," he says. Dalton goes in looking for the sink and opens the compartment door under it. There was foil, trash bags, and sandwich bags. Dalton grabs the sandwich bags and continues searching around some more. There was a huge wooden cabinet in the corner of the room and Dalton opens it. The sword was there. "We found it," Liam says.

Dalton closes the cabinet and heads out the door with the bags. "We found them," Dalton says. "Great," Isaac says with a wink. Isaac and Felix picks the mushrooms up and places them in the baggies. "This should be a good trip," Felix says."Oh I forget we got to find the weed," Isaac says. They walk just a bit past the farm home and find the tree that had I&F carved into it. "There it is," Isaac says pointing at the tree. Felix runs up to it and grabs the weed out of an opening in the tree. Isaac picks up the rolling papers for the joints out of his pockets. Felix hands Isaac the weed to roll the joints. He rolls one and hands Felix a mushroom out of the baggie. Isaac grabs his lighter out of his pocket and lights the joint. The smell of the marijuana fills the air.

They pass the joint back and forth taking several hits off of it. After they smoked two or three joints and ate some shrooms they head back. They walk back to the area where everyone was at. "Where have you all been," Rosalina says showing up behind them with Gabrielle and Timothy. "Just taking a stroll," Isaac says with a laugh. "What the hell have you all been smoking," she says. "Oh it was just some cigarettes," Isaac said. "That smell does not come from a fucking cigarette," she says.
