Chapter 3: Chapter 2. Unexpected Problems
Marcus grew up like all ordinary and normal children.
Recently he turned 9 months old, but what was surprising was his ability to crawl very quickly and attempts to walk on two legs were already visible.
What distinguished the child from the rest of the children was his unusually pale skin, and multi-colored eyes.
Little Marcus crawled up to Roland and hit him in the foot with a rattle, hinting that his father would play with him.
Looking at his young and healthy son, Roland sincerely smiled and took the child in his arms and went to play with him in the nursery.
At first, after the birth of Marcus, Roland had a slight dislike and fear when looking at his son. But over time, Roland began to get used to it, until in the end he sincerely fell in love with his child. Now he even has pride in such an extraordinary son. After all, no one has the same eyes as his ...
- Ehh. ~ Roland sighed longly, watching his son play with toys.
"It would be possible to somehow hide your eye color ... Then you could walk on the street, breathe fresh air and look at the world differently, and not sit locked up in this old house all your life."
A couple of months passed unnoticed and now, Marcus has his first birthday, he turned 1 year old.
Due to the fact that the ingredients are very expensive and they could not afford to make a big cake at all, Eliza baked her son a delicious little cake with chocolate crumbs and a sweet pinkish berry on top. Satisfied Marcus was able to sway him.
- Thank you, mom. ~ With a pleased look, rubbing his tummy, Marcus spoke and ran up to mom and dad, kissed them on the cheek.
- You are my best mom and dad. Thanks for the cake..
- On health, son "Eliza said with a smile on her face" - Our son is growing so fast, yes dear?
- Yeah. Son, this is not all. I have a present for you, look for it in your room, okay?
- Yeah!
A joyful boy with anticipation ran to his room on the second floor, entering which he suddenly saw a small glimmer of light from a boarded-up window in his room.
He was very interested, is it really those same rays of sunlight that shine brightly in the sky during the day on the street ...
Dad told me that the street is beautiful, green grass, many large and beautiful trees, clean and fresh air, a huge blue sea and a big city filled with residents.
He also said that there, on the street, there are also many children and they all play together.
I wish I could at least see a little what it is like to be on the street.
With uncertain steps, Marcus closed the door to his room and went to the window. Due to dampness, a small board rotted and began to lomat.
The child, with little effort, tore off this tablet and looked out ...
The warm and scorching rays of the sun hit Marcus's face, and a cool sea breeze blew.
Breathing deeply, the boy smiled a happy childhood smile.
For the first time in his life, he felt like an ordinary child.
Looking around, he began to notice streets dirty and wet from the rain, houses standing not far from him, children playing with a dog. Adults passed by, someone shouted, talked, worked. Life was in full swing.
Suddenly, the dog felt something dangerous and looked at Marcus. The animal began to bark loudly and snarl.
Paying attention to the strange behavior of the dog, the children playing nearby became interested and also looked in that direction ...
-AAAAAAAA !!! Help, in that house there is a monster. ~ Screamed boy
-AAAAAA! Mom! ~ The children screamed.
The nearby residents immediately heard the loud cries of the children and ran up and asked what happened.
A fat and sweaty, awkwardly dressed boy of 7-8 years old approached the woman and said: "Aunt, there ..." he pointed to the Otto family's house "h-h-monster."
- We saw the boy's head in the window, he had terrible pale skin and eyes ... Ahhh, sniff ... These terrible eyes.
Realizing what was at stake, residents remembered a bike a year ago that a damned child was born in Otto's family.
They then did not pay much attention to the fact that Roland pounded all the windows in the house. Well, you never know, everyone has their own quirks, maybe he lost his mind. And now they understood why he did it, they were hiding the hellish creature.
A fat and pimple bald man in a baker's dirty clothes went up to this chubby boy who looked like him and asked: "Son, what happened, scared you?"
- Sniff ... Yes, father. There is a scary boy.
After talking about something, the people present went to the city center, they left in the direction where the church of the Saint was located.
Marcus, as soon as he realized that they had noticed him, immediately ran away and hid in a closet for a long time.
_ _ _
The next day, a guard and an old priest came to the Otto family home.
~ Wham, wham. ~ There was a loud knock on the door and the man's voice: - This is a city guard, immediately open the door!
Otto's whole family was having dinner at the moment ...
Hearing a knock on the door, Roland's face went dark.
He looked at Eliza and Marcus, and then said: - I'll go and see what they need, and you'll hide the child.
