SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 103
While eating his food, Marco occasionally tells about what he went through, and what he did.
Including his feigned behavior in front of Nancy, Beta, Gamma and Delta, as well as when he pretended to be influenced by Fairy, until the Fairy made Marco can face Eackbert directly.
"I asked him to help me get to Eackbert....
... To be clear, Cecilia can make Eackbert who is in his control, to come to me," said Marco.
Beta and Delta, looking mangosteen as if they understood what Marco was talking about.
"So, I was in his control for the whole day?" ask Marco.
"All you remember is the last one after your fight, don't you?" ask Delta.
Marco nodded his head.
"Yes. It happened yesterday afternoon" Delta said.
"Hmmm... In fact, what I felt as if it was only a few hours," said Marco.
"If you hear your story, it means the way the Elf's ability works, is to attract the original consciousness of its victim, and form hallucinations that his victim likes....
... Then, it's the elves who control the bodies of their victims, and wear them like puppets" Delta said.
"Yes. I think it's like that, because you said my behavior was strange, and not like I usually am," Marco said.
Marco had finished eating his meal, and several worker shapeshifters waiting in a corner of the room immediately tidied up the dining table, after which Marco stood up and walked out with Beta and Delta.
"Where's your Mommy now?" ask Beta.
"He's at Nancy's. I asked Gamma to treat him" Marco replied.
"What did you say?" tanya Beta looked astonished.
"Just calm! Marco must know what he's doing" Delta said in a flat voice.
"Where are you going now? Picking Bella? Or go back to Nancy's?" ask Delta.
"Hmmm ... Maybe, we'll just stop by Nancy's place first" Marco replied.
The three of them then go to Nancy's house, with Marco only partially deformed, in order to bring their clothes there.
Upon arrival at Nancy's house, Gamma was seen applying medicine on the wound Cecilia had been sewn, until it was tightly closed.
Cecilia is still unconscious, and Nancy accompanies Gamma and Cecilia there.
"I want to meet Eackbert!" said Marco.
"Just enter! Beta and Delta know the place" Nancy said.
Marco then walks in with Beta and Delta, to see Eackbert.
The man was apparently undressed and covered only with a blanket, lying on the bed, and apparently still asleep.
"Your face and your Daddy look are exactly like him" chirped Nancy, who was suddenly there with them.
Eackbert the male who had a firm striped face, with a wide, angled jaw, still left his good looks despite the fine lines of wrinkles, had almost filled the entire surface of his facial skin.
"His face looks like yours! If you're old, you'll look like him" Beta said.
It's true said Beta, Marco like he was reflecting on his old age later.
Suddenly Eackbert opened his eyes, and stared straight at the ceiling of the room for a while, before he turned his head and looked towards Marco, Nancy, Beta and Delta.
Eackbert's gaze looked back towards Marco, and fixedly looked at him.
"Eackheart?" eackbert asked with furrowed brows.
"No. My son. My name is Marco" replied Marco.
Eackbert was then seen crying as he pleased, holding his lower abdomen.
"She had a severe bruise near the bone************," Beta whispered in Marco's ear.
"Why are you crying?" ask Marco.
"What's going on? Why did Eackheart have such a grown-up child? Why don't I know anything? Am I crazy?" ask Eackbert.
"No. You only have partial amnesia" replied Marco
"Where's Cecilia?" ask Eackbert.
"He's outside!" replied Marco.
"really? Is she okay?" ask Eackbert.
"Yes. He was just sleeping ... You should also rest. If you're healthy, you can be with him" Marco said.
Eackbert nodded slowly.
Marco then invited all the others, who were there to come out of the room, so that Eackbert could return to rest.
They all sat together on the sofa, near Cecilia who was still lying.
"There was no need for anyone to talk about the events between the memories that Eackbert had forgotten. Let him live the rest of his life in peace....
... Even if we tell Eackbert about his brother's death because of his actions, it will only make him tormented with guilt, without changing anything...
... That's happened, it doesn't need to be revealed anymore" Marco said.
Shortly after Marco spoke, suddenly there was a sound of sobbing and coming from Cecilia.
"You're sober?" gamma asked, who hurriedly approached Cecilia, and crouched down nearby.
Marco then approached Cecilia.
"Why are you crying? Does it still hurt?" ask Marco.
"No. My injuries are nothing compared to my bad behavior" replied Cecilia.
"No need to cry anymore. Everything in the past can only be regretted, and it is useless...
... You just need to be a good person for everyone in the future....
... I think if you accompany Eackbert, it might be a good thing for both of you, too" Marco said.
Marco then approached Nancy.
"Grandmas! I leave Cecilia and Eackbert to you. I want to go back to my partner soon. I miss him" said Marco.
"Aren't you going to stay in the castle?" ask Nancy.
"Hmmm ... How, huh?!" said Marco.
"Can Grandma arrange a job here? Make it a highway to go to the castle, so we all have no trouble getting out of there" Marco continued.
"What's difficult?" ask Nancy.
"Grandmas! Did Grandma forget that my partner was an ordinary human? Do I always have to take him out of the castle, bare-chested?" ask Marco.
The laughter of Beta, Gamma and Delta, sounded crisp.
Nancy laughed too.
"Good! Grandma will take care of it. In the next few months, the road there will be ready" Nancy said.
"Are you coming with me?" marco asked, looking at Beta, Gamma and Delta.
"Of course!" answer Beta and Delta simultaneously.
"I'm not coming. I still have to take care of Cecilia and Eackbert" Gamma replied.
"okay!" said Marco.
"Grandmas! The cecilia! We go first!" continued Marco.
Marco, Beta and Delta then fly away from the main settlement shapeshifter, and return to Marco's home in the city of Bridget.
****
Adaline, who is now more focused on taking care of the cake shop, looks increasingly familiar with Beta.
Fint and Fent are also getting smarter about taking care of farm animals, and are also getting smoother about driving cars.
Flints, who had returned to Marco's house, spent more time with Seba in the kitchen.
Delta dates Ariel, the Cooch family's son who works at Bella's pastry shop, and almost every afternoon, Delta visits the Cooch family home to meet with Ariel.
It's been about four months.
Now Bella's stomach has been slightly bloated and Marco so more happy to touch it, even often talking while sticking in the stomach Bella.
The calm they had enjoyed since the end of Alpha's power struggle was interrupted by repeated phone calls that afternoon.
Nancy tells Marco that the road to the castle has been completed, and Nancy hopes that Marco and his family can soon live in the castle.
Seba and Flints, Fint and Fent will stay at Marco's house.
Adaline, Beta and Delta are joined by Marco and Bella.
Everyone then gets ready, and arranges the journey of those who go to the main settlement of the shapeshifter.
Bella's pastry shop, handed over to Bella's parents, until the contract expires.
Bella's open-minded parents make it easy for Marco to ask for permission to move Bella from the city.
Of course, they still have to hide the shapeshifter, from Bella's parents, and only reason that Marco and Bella moved to another city, because they got a much better new business there.
Since their move to the castle, Eackbert, Cecilia and Nancy have also settled in the castle.
Marco, Beta, Gamma and Delta, still often fight even though they just move their bodies.
"I'm tired of our repetitive games!" marco said, as Beta, Gamma and Delta approached Marco, who was sitting around relaxing with Bella and Adaline.
"Do you want to try something new?" ask Delta.
"What's that?" Marco asked back.
"You want us to go for a walk to another settlement?" ask Delta.
Marco was silent as he looked at Bella.
"Why see me? There's no need to worry about me, it's still two months before it's time for me to give birth" Bella said.
"How long can you spend?" ask Marco.
"Three days is the longest, then we come back here" Delta replied.
"Hows it? Want to try a new adventure?" advanced Delta.
"okay!" replied Marco.
