SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 16
Sister Martha asked Sister Maria, to leave her to speak with Marco, and to warn sister Mary to keep a secret about her present circumstances.
"Please, don't tell others I'm conscious! After I finished talking to Marco, then you could tell the others that I had woken up from a long sleep" Suter Martha told Sister Maria.
"I just want Marco not to feel ashamed when I tell him about his family genealogy!"
So said Sister Martha, to convince Sister Maria, to want to leave her alone with Marco.
Sister Maria nodded in agreement, then walked out of the room, and shut the door tightly.
"You've come here to know, and you want to get answers and explanations, how do I find you, right?" sister Martha asked, opening her conversation with Marco.
"Yes" answered Marco.
"Surely something happened to you...!" sister Martha said.
"Yes" answered Marco.
Sister Martha took a deep breath, and exhaled it quickly and violently, as if something was troubling her mind.
"I thought you would grow up to be a human being." said Sister Martha.
"But now, I'm sure that you are one of the shapeshifters." continued Sister Martha.
Marco felt awkward after hearing Sister Martha's words, and with a doubt to be blunt, Marco could only fall silent.
"You don't have to hide it from me. Because, only people of that race, can deliver me from the curse...
And it's not me you should worry about. Rather, one of your own people" said Sister Martha.
Marco was more and more confused by the words of Sister Martha, and made him more and more curious, with what Sister Martha knew.
"Please, tell me everything the sisters know about me...!" marco said slowly.
Sister Martha did not immediately tell me anything, it looked as if she was thinking about something.
Sister Martha took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"I didn't find you accidentally...
Someone, or something that delivered, and gave you to me that night, when I was walking back to the orphanage building, after the Mass...
Someone with a gray wolf form, with golden eyes, came to me while biting on the handle of a basket containing a baby." said sister Martha.
"Although I was terrified when I saw the big wolf in front of me, but since there was a human baby that I could see, I ventured out, to take the basket out of his mouth...
Not long after, his body turned into a human. Adult male, without wearing anything...
With the blanket he took from the basket containing you who are still a baby, he covered part of his body at that time...
She didn't mention her name, and just said that she was an Alpha." continued Sister Martha.
Sister Martha seemed to be trying to explain in detail the events of that night when she found Marco.
And Marco listened to Sister Martha's story, earnestly.
"She asked my name, then said that if the day turned, she would come again to see you, and explain everything...
Before she went back to being a gray wolf, and ran away, until it disappeared from my sight." said sister Martha.
"He's not lying...
The next day, someone came, and looked for me in the orphanage...
We talked... I mean, she's been telling me a long time, and I've been listening to every detail of her story, while she's holding you in her arms" Martha continued.
When you were born, he tried, can you follow him to change. But, you still survive with human form...
Whereas in their ancestral stories, the ninety-ninth Alpha's son, who is himself, will be the toughest Alpha among his kind." said Sister Martha.
"When he saw you couldn't change shape,
he was worried, just in case you weren't what their ancestors meant, because there was no exact explanation of the story...
Moreover, you were born because of his relationship with ordinary humans, and not from one of his people...
Because he loves you, he doesn't want you to be easily killed by his brother, and he asks for my help, to hide you...
He even told me not to tell anyone where you are, even though he himself came to ask" continued Sister Martha.
Sister Martha then moved her hands slowly and trembling, and as if trying to reach the drinking water on the table, near her bed.
Marco stood up from his seat and helped Sister Martha to drink.
"For a few years, after you were adopted by the Belmont family, I never heard anything from that family...
As if, you have only grown into an ordinary human being...
Until that day...
Suddenly, someone who has a face similar to your Daddy, comes to the orphanage, and asks about you." said Sister Martha.
Sister Martha now, showing a look of fear on her face, with her body still lying on the bed, seemed to tremble violently, and her mouth seemed to be tightly locked.
"Suster! You all right?" marco asked in panic, holding the hand of Sister Martha, who was shaking to the point of shaking.
"I'm calling someone here, huh?" ask Marco.
Marco was about to leave from Sister Martha's side, but sister Martha's hand held Marco's hand, as if holding Marco in to stay in the room with her.
Sister Martha closed her eyes, for a while, until her body stopped trembling, and regained its calmness even looking limp.
"No need to call anyone... I'm fine." said sister Martha quietly.
"I only remembered the fear, when I met the man." continued Sister Martha.
"Is sister really okay?" ask Marco to make sure.
Sister Martha nodded slowly.
"Yes. I'm fine" replied Sister Martha.
"Please help me to drink again!" pinta sister Martha.
Marco then raised a little sister Martha's head, and gave her a drink, until Sister Martha pushed a soft, water-filled glass from her mouth.
"I think he who met me at that time was your Daddy brother." sings Martha.
Marco, who had just sat back in his chair, looked at Sister Martha closely.
"She said, if anything happens where they live...
And he assumed it had something to do with the child, who was allegedly in our orphanage," said sister Martha, who continued her story.
"I lied as much as I could, if I didn't know anything about the child he meant. But I don't know why he still doesn't believe my words...
It was as if she could read my thoughts, or could tell the fear, that I felt back then." said sister Martha.
"He asked me to bring him to you as soon as possible. And if I refuse, then he will kill me" continued Sister Martha.
