Marsiana
CHAPTER 4
Marsiana sat near Jennifer’s sarcophagus and spoke with her mother. It was strange and wild to see a small, thin girl in a desolate silence of the eternal, unchanging Earth’s satellite. Marsiana liked the Moon. There were no people, no Mrs. Carter, but there was her favorite, beloved mother.
‘Mommy, dear mother Jenny, I have come to you. I love you very much and miss you. I often look at the Moon and mentally talking to you,’ Marsiana was talking, lovingly looking at the face of her mother.’ ‘I know how it difficult and lonely for you here. But do not worry, Mommy Jenny. Now you're not alone. I will often come to you,’ Marsiana quietly kept saying, stroking the sarcophagus, in which was lying quietly and majestically Jennifer. She has not changed, and it seemed just slept. Jennifer looked unapproachable and seemed unearthly. She seemed to become part of the Moon and the silent majesty of a mysterious space. On the left cheek of Jennifer suddenly appeared a spark of light that swam in a mysterious dance. Marsiana saw them, and her face lit up with joy and happiness. ‘You are doing right, Mommy Jenny, listen to me, and listen. I know that you all hear and understand everything. Its Daddy Max thinks that you're in heaven, where get all people after they fall asleep forever on the Earth. But you're not like ordinary people. You’re, my mother Jenny.’ Sparkles of light circled on Jennifer’s cheek for a while and extinguished. But Marsiana was happy and kept smiling. Her little shoulders suddenly startled: ‘I have good news, Mommy Jenny,’ she said softly, as if she could overhear by someone else. ‘Daddy Max flew to Arel and Lomma. I would fly with him. But I'm little and I can not fly there. It’s very far away,’ she sighed sadly. ‘Daddy Max thinks that Arel and Lomma help you wake up. I also really hope for it,’ Marsiana quietly said and lay down next to the sarcophagus. Now her head was on a level with the face of Jennifer. Marsiana gently was stroking with her hand on transparent sarcophagus and looking at the starry sky something quietly, whispering like a spell. Suddenly she started, stopped, sat down next to the sarcophagus. Her little body tensed, as if she had something heard or seen. ‘Mommy Jenny, I'll go for a walk,’ she said, rising to her feet. ‘But I'll be back. Do not worry. So far, my Mommy Jenny.’ Marsiana waved Jennifer with her hand and walked away from the sarcophagus. Shadow of Marsiana relentlessly accompanied a little girl. Marsiana had neither felt cold nor hot. The absence of air, she also didn’t feel. That is, she breathed, her chest heaving, but for her life it was quite enough that rare oxygen’s molecules, which have been on the Moon, as well as in the vacuum of space. Marsiana walked slowly forward, not looking back and almost without looking around. Soon she came to the Earth's moonwalker, once which investigated the Moon’s surface. Girl with curiosity looked it around and read all the inscriptions. Clumsy in her opinion the machine, it seemed very funny. She even smiled and patted with a small palm on the cold frame. Way of Marsiana lying beyond, as if she was looking for someone or somebody. The sarcophagus was already barely visible, but Marsiana at any time can go back to it. The majestic and beautiful Moon’s landscapes alternated. It was easy and pleasant to walk. Of course, the presence of a little girl on the Moon could bring out of the mind any normal person, but Marsiana did not care about it at all. She knew exactly that there were not any people on the Moon, and she shouldn’t worry about meeting with them. She continued to go forward and her large yellow eyes glowing with curiosity were looking around. Marsiana did not afraid of the silence of the Moon and knew that nothing bad will happen to her. And she did not know what the word “bad” mean. Everything still was fine with her. On Marsiana’s way in twenty paces away formed some shadow. It was not a Moon’s stone, not the rock or a piece of a meteorite falling on the Moon. It was a lively and hostile creature. It was a Kregl. A strange to the people creature who was hunting for Max and Jennifer, and now met in the way of their little daughter Marsiana. The creature did not move and looked at how to him was approaching a little figure. Marsiana noticed Kregl, but not frightened. Only in her yellow eyes flared brighter sparks. She was ready to meet the enemy of her parents. ‘Go away the road!’ she cried firmly and resolutely, stopping in ten paces from Kregl. The black figure of stranger with a silence hung over Marsiana. She as before didn’t feel fear and was looking at him as an obstacle that appeared suddenly and prevented her from her walk. In fact, Marsiana felt somebody’s presence even when she was near the sarcophagus. For this reason, she interrupted her conversation with Jennifer and went to check up, whether watching them someone else's who does not belong to this world. She was not mistaken. They were not alone on the Moon. Kregls, at least one of them still tracked her and her mother. For a little girl’s cry stranger did not respond. Only on his shapeless head stood out two glowing blue eyes, but on his body appeared a long and thin two-toed limb. In it was some object. It was a weapon. Marsiana when she saw weapons only smiled contemptuously. She was not scared. ‘What do you want?’ she asked sharply, stepping closer to Kregl. ‘Karum ra kare ara ka eeka,’ Kregl said with a voice that seemed sounded from above. ‘Never you will not know where is my father Max!’ Marsiana shouted firmly, ‘My father Max can not protect himself. He is an ordinary man. But I do. And I will not allow anyone to offense him. Neither you nor creatures like you. I, Marsiana! Remembered me?’ Marsiana’s voice sounded ominously, it seemed for the last two minutes she grew up even more and looked like a thirteen years girl, ‘You’ll never get my mother Jenny and my father Max. Keep it in your mind.’ she said, taking another step forward. Kregl made a step towards her. Marsiana did not linger longer. She looked a little bit aside, and an alien creature flew in all directions with the shreds. Marsiana closely was looking at him. When it was over she returned to Jennifer’s sarcophagus. ‘Now everything is all right, Mommy Jenny,’ she said with satisfied tone, sweeping away with her hand the invisible dust from the sarcophagus of her mother, ‘He thought I would not see him,’ Marsiana kept saying, ‘But I see everything and I see very far .’ She stood a little more and begun to say goodbye: ‘Goodbye Mommy Jenny. Do not miss me. I'll come back soon to you.’ Jennifer's face remained immobile, but in the air there was a subtle glow. At least, so it seemed to the little girl. Perhaps it was just a gleam of sunlight. Marsiana carefully looked around. She listened. All was calm. The eternal silence of the lunar world violated with nothing no longer. Hostile to her creatures no longer appeared. Marsiana nodded with satisfaction and returned to the house of Mrs. Carter.
