SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 22
The longer Marco watches their movements, the more sure Marco is that they are indeed the same as Marco.
The three people who still look young, more or less still look like they are the same age as Marco, or maybe a little younger than him.
There is little desire in Marco's heart to meet them and be merciful, but there is still doubt that he will ever come close.
And also, what if they can't keep a secret, and then his Daddy brother knows Marco's arrival there?
Wouldn't there be a bad possibility, that could happen to Marco?
Marco became a pervert, and just stared at them there long enough, until he finally felt thirsty and hungry.
Confused, Marco seemed to be unable to think anymore, how could he leave the place, without seeing the three people.
Fortunately, the three people seemed to be content playing with water, and one by one came out of the water.
And Marco could see the change in their form, right in front of his own eyes.
Marco smiled widely.
Marco has found his people hiding.
Now, just think about how he can blend in there, without making a furore.
Two gray and black wolves ran through the trees, and the woman who was left behind, had just come out of the water.
Marco turned his face away, as the woman stood facing him.
I don't know how long Marco's turned, but Marco hasn't heard any sound running from the shore, leading into the forest.
Marco, raising his face, and how surprised he was, saw a rabbit that was already in front of him.
Marco looked at the rabbit, as well as the rabbit who seemed to notice Marco.
"Do you understand my words?" ask the rabbit.
Marco's eyes widened, with his mouth tightly locked.
Apparently, it was no ordinary rabbit, because Marco could understand his words.
Marco nodded his head.
"Yes!" sahut Marco's.
"Who are you?" ask the rabbit.
"My name is Marco!" replied Marco.
"My name is Adaline!" said the rabbit who stood in front of Marco, then shook one of his hands, as if shaking hands, even though their hands did not touch.
"Can you be human?" ask Adaline.
"Yes" replied Marco, after a brief pause.
"Both people, those are my brothers. I saw you watching us... You just here?" ask Adaline.
"Yes... I-i'm sorry! Not that I intend to peek at you, but I just feel very curious" Marco replied.
The rabbit named Adaline laughed.
"It's the same if you're peeping" said Adaline, after she stopped laughing.
"Where are you from?" ask Adaline.
"Bridget" answered Marco.
"Where's that?" ask Adaline.
"A place far from here. We have to cross the sea" replied Marco.
"Oh... Then you are one of our separate people" said Adaline.
"Hmmm... Then who are you here with?" adaline asked, as if she would not run out of questions for Marco.
"I came here alone" replied Marco.
"We should meet with being human. But.." said Adaline.
"You understand, don't you mean?" continued again.
"Yes" answered Marco.
"Do you want to come with me to the society?" ask Adaline.
"How many lives Bridget?" ask Adaline.
"I don't know" replied Marco.
"You can't get along... I-i understand... You seem to be shy" said Adaline.
"Where are you going now? You don't want to come with me... Are you going back to Bridget?" ask Adaline.
"Yes" answered Marco.
"Hmmm... All righty! Are you gonna come back here?" ask Adaline.
"Maybe.." answered Marco.
"Then, I'll prepare a change of clothes for you. Is your size the same or at least similar to my brothers?" ask Adaline again.
"Maybe.." answered Marco who could not have thought.
"Then I go first!" adaline said, and jumped slowly away, but she then stopped, then turned to look at Marco.
"When are you here again?" ask Adaline.
"Tomorrow, more or less jam-hours like now," replied Marco.
"okay! Careful streets! Sometime, I'd like to come with you, to take a walk in your hometown," said Adaline, then jump back and forth.
Before Adaline went too far, Marco remembered something, then chased after Adaline.
"Sorry, Adaline! But, can you hide the information of my arrival here?" ask Marco.
Adaline remained silent for a while.
"Hmmm... You seem to be too shy. Well, I didn't tell anyone!" adaline.
"okay! That all?" ask Adaline.
"Yes, thanks!" said Marco.
"Just like...!" adaline said, and this time she seemed to be looking for a hiding place.
And it's true.
Before long, Marco could see a cheetah galloping from where Adaline had gone, and heading deep into the forest.
Marco then changed into a human, then changed again into an eagle, and flew away from that place.
His body felt quite weak, hungry and thirsty, and taking advantage of the hot wind, Marco floated, and only moved his tail as a wheel, leading to the forest near the city of Bridget.
The feeling of satisfaction, makes Marco more excited.
Marco had already found the place he had been looking for all this time, although he had not been able to venture any further in that place.
Moreover, now he can say hello, with one of his people, who may indeed be his new friend.
If he returns to visit the place, there may be a chance to find out more about the place, Adeline.
Most likely, Marco will also find his family, or at least his Mommy, because supposedly he said, his Daddy is dead.
As long as Adaline can keep a secret, Marco can sneak in there, unbeknownst to his Daddy brother, who according to Martha's sister, intends to kill Marco.
Marco thought again about his Daddy brother.
What was he really like, until it could be cruel to torture Sister Martha, with such a curse?
The journey back to the forest across the ocean, did not feel long.
It seemed like only a moment ago Marco flew away from the island, but now, he could see the forest trees that were his place to return to being human, and get dressed again.
Marco flew down, when he saw his landing point was close enough.
After monitoring briefly in the air, Marco then landed on the ground.
In a hurry, Marco put on his clothes, and walked out of the forest, and half ran towards his car as fast as he could, for the sake of a bottle of water to quench his thirst.
Marco drove his car home, and arrived at his home by late afternoon.
On the night of Marco's house, Bella's car looks difficult parked there.
Marco smiled broadly, biting his own lips.
Well then, it's obvious that tonight, Marco won't feel lonely.
