He breathed and relaxed his muscles; the guilt feeling came to him and he realized he had betrayed Rachel. The female werefrog looked at him with awe and as if she was perplexed with her action she turned around and leapt back into the bushes.
Marty couldn’t let her go like that; he too leapt and went after her. He lost her in the luxurious vegetation, between the tall moss covered trees. He saw her image some feet away, jumping over a bush and he leapt more aggressively. She hopped over a rock and jumped over a big decaying log. Marty was determined not to let her go; he didn’t calculate well enough the strength of his jump and ended up tackling her mid-air. The two werefrogs fell over some plants.
“Sorry, I must know who are you? I need might need your help?” he said after recovering from the fall.
“I’m…My name is Eve” she answered.
“Who are you? Were you also transformed into this?”
“Yes!” she answered as if a weight had been lifted from her chest.
“Did you also meet the lady who gave you a coin?”
“No? But I did find a coin in my belongings after going skinny dipping with my friends in a river. It was an old coin…”
“Like those of a pirate?”
She nodded. They kept talking a bit more and she apologized for what she had done. According to her she smelled him and the frog pheromones made her go crazy. Marty felt the same but he didn’t react as humble as her; he felt flattered by the “I couldn’t resist you” and grinned as if he had been a womanizer even in his human times. She told him her story: she was Dutch, she had come to the island on a girl’s voyage and the same night she found the coin she morphed into the werefrog. Although she ran away before her friends could even see her. Marty decided not to explain much about him saying he was with a male friend and an old woman gave him the coin on the trail path and then he transformed into a werefrog.
“So…do you want to join me and search for that woman? She might know the answers to be turned back!”
