SHAPESHIFTERS

SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 57


Fresh air... Closing his eyes, the oxygen released by the leaves of the maple tree, Marco inhaled deeply.


Marco's lungs this time felt colder, and his mind was clearer after the battle with Beta, which was quite exhausting.


"Marco!" one of Adaline's older brothers.


"What's wrong?" marco asked, without looking at the voice that called him.


"eek... Can you teach me how to drive a car?" asked the Adaline brother, who sounded as if he was asking carefully.


Marco then turned his head to his side, and saw Adaline's brother asking him.


"You want to learn how to drive?" ask Marco.


"Yes... If I can drive myself, you don't have to bother bringing the livestock to the merchant. I will" answered Adaline's brother.


"Hmmm... That's a good idea. But, is that not excessive? Until you have to do all my work" asked Marco.


"No problem. We also do not feel comfortable, while hitchhiking live here, then we can not help your work much," replied the man.


"I never thought you were a burden. You guys have helped me a lot with my work" Marco said.


"Our alpha doesn't understand." Beta chirps.


Marco turned around and looked next to him again, where Beta was lying down.


"What do I not understand?" ask Marco.


"Do you know how to live a king? Alpha must be served by his people, as the king is served by his people" said Beta.


"Alpha's work protects her people, and takes a major decision for the survival of all members of the shapeshifter group...


And Alpha's attention should not be distracted, only by petty work. Moreover, when it comes to Alpha even serving its people...


That's gonna feel weird. So, it's only natural that your followers, do the work to serve you," continued Beta.


"So you're saying, I should let them work, replace my usual day-to-day job?" ask Marco.


"Yes, of course. So, you can focus on being a real Alpha" Beta replied.


"My whole life, I don't have to work. Let alone human work, if only for me to survive. Whether food, clothing, or shelter, it was provided by a regular shapeshifter that I visited" continued Beta.


"Puff...! How can you survive like that? Be a burden to others" Marco said, chuckling.


"There's nothing funny for you to laugh at. It's like that the truth is," said Beta Ketus.


"Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, there is no need to think about hungry stomach affairs, or clothes so as not to be naked, let alone a place to live...


Our job is to keep the group...


What's more you, the Alpha. You don't even have to wander around to check out the herd, just in case, and it's supposed to act like a king" Beta continued.


"Hmmm... I don't understand the concept of living like that. Because for me, there is nothing lower, or higher in his self-esteem" Marco said.


"Yes, I know that you're a different Alpha. But still, your followers will find it strange that you serve them" Beta said.


"It's true!" chirps Adaline's brother.


"We felt something odd when Alpha didn't tell us to do something. In fact, Alpha's doing it ourselves all the lowly work we're supposed to be doing" Adaline's brother continued.


Marco fell silent and just listened to what Adaline's brother had to say without responding to anything.


Beta then suddenly laughed out loud alone.


"Is there anything funny?" ask Marco.


I coughed, as if I was trying to stop laughing.


"I'm sorry... I just imagine, if you, Alpha, the king of all shapeshifters, or your partner, the queen, cook and wash the cutlery in the castle," Beta replied.


"Where is your servant as king?" ask Beta.


Fint, Fent, Adaline, Seba, and Fent always seem to try to replace the daily work at Marco's house, which Marco or Bella usually do.


Come to think of it, it would seem funny, if until they had mastered the castle, then imagine when Bella wore a dress like the picture in a children's fairy tale book about princesses, then Bella had to wander in the kitchen.


"You want to learn to drive now?" marco asked, rising from his bed.


"Yes!" replied Adaline's brother excitedly.


"Let's go!" take Marco, then hurry to go to his car parked in the front yard.


As Marco passed through the front of the house, Bella appeared to be standing on the porch, looking at Marco's corn garden.


Marco took a stop at Bella, and hugged her tightly.


"You left me asleep alone" said Bella.


"Yes... I was training with Beta. Now, I want to teach Fint and Fent to drive a car" Marco said.


"Oh, so... Careful, honey." said Bella.


"of course... If there's anything to ask for with Seba or Adaline. Don't force yourself to do everything yourself" Marco said.


Bella seemed to frown, looking at Marco fixedly.


"There is no need to dispute my words... I don't want you to be exhausted. I want you and our baby to be healthy" Marco said, without waiting for Bella to say anything.


Bella seemed to take a deep breath, then exhaled violently, looking as if she did not accept Marco's words.


"Please follow my words... If you want I don't have to worry about your situation" Marco said forcefully.


"OK...!" bella said slowly, even with her face that looked limp.


Marco smiled broadly, then kissed Bella.


"I'll go first, okay?! I love you, honey." said Marco, moving down from the porch.


"Love you too." said Bella.


Fint and Fent looked patiently waiting for Marco, standing near the car.


"Who wants to learn first?" ask Marco.


"Let Fint alone" said one of the twins.


"Then, Fent waited here first. We'll be back, and you'll take turns" Marco said.


That way Marco is also not confused to call their names, because it is definitely Fint first with Marco in the car.


Fent then sat on the front porch floor of Marco's house, while Fint got into the car, and sat behind the wheel, with Marco sitting in the passenger seat next to him.


"Gas pedal, brake pedal, clutch pedal!" marco said, pointing at the three pedals on the floor of his car.


"This is the parking brake lever, this is the gear lever," Marco continued.


"What did you do first?" ask Fint.


"Turn the engine on first!" replied Marco.


"Push the clutch pedal until it touches the floor, slide the gear lever like this," Marco continued, while showing the direction of the gear.


Fint followed Marco's direction, and seemed to really pay attention to what Marco was teaching.


"okay?! Now lower the parking brake lever, while the gas pedal is pressed, along with the slowly raised clutch pedal" Marco said.


For several experiments, the engine of the car was dead, before the car had moved a little.


"Try again!" said Marco.
