SHAPESHIFTERS
Part 62's
While enjoying dinner together, Marco rethink the words of Beta, about the shapeshifters who might indeed disappear from the face of the earth.
And it could have happened.
Given the shapeshifters who live on the main surface, which is said to be Flints, most begin to lose their power.
Then, the runaway who marries an ordinary man, cannot bear the offspring of a new shapeshifter.
So do not rule out the possibility, if the shapeshifter will indeed be extinct forever, and will only be a horror fairy tale to scare, for children in the future.
Marco looked at Bella beside him.
Is it possible that Bella will also give birth to an ordinary human child?
It's good if that's true.
The children of Marco and Bella can live a normal life, without having to worry about others' judgments of him.
No need to be alienated, and can freely blend in among other ordinary humans.
But, that way, his children will also not have the ability that Bella considers as special, so Bella can love Marco as he is today.
And apparently, it wasn't just Marco who was lost in thought at that dinner.
The casual talk of people sitting at the dinner table, did not seem to attract Beta's attention.
When Marco saw Beta, the man looked like he was having less appetite, and spent his time at the table subduing his gaze.
Beta seemed to be staring at his food, which was mostly just being pushed around using a fork in his hand.
I don't know what Beta is thinking.
Is it about the plan to enter the castle?
Or maybe just like Marco, thinking about the possibility of his people going extinct.
Until everyone finished eating dinner, Beta only showed a flat face, and locked her mouth tightly, so as not to let out the slightest sound.
"You're sleepy?" marco asked Bella.
Some of those who had dinner together, had already left the dining table, and left Seba who was still cleaning the tableware, in the dishwasher tray.
"Yes. Wh why? You want to go to bed now?" ask Bella.
"Hmmm... Ja. Let's just take a break!" bring Marco.
"We're going to rest first!" marco said, looking at Seba.
"Yes. Please go!" seba replied, then continued to wash the tableware there.
***
It's been almost eight days since the incident of a physical clash between substitute Alpha spy Marco, which ended with the two lives of the opposing shapeshifter.
Marco's back injury is now much better, and Bella, who appears much calmer, no longer scolds Marco, returns to combat training with Beta.
It was only natural that Bella was anxious, and had once forbidden Marco to practice.
When on the first day since Marco was injured, then Marco chose to practice fighting with Beta, the seams on Marco's back open again gaping, and bleeding quite a lot.
At that time, Marco had to go back to the hospital so that his wounds were re-sewn, to get a cynical look of eyes as if in disbelief, from the doctor who treated Marco.
In fact, the incident must have been unintentional by Beta who seemed to forget, if Marco's back was still a considerable fresh wound, and clawed it with his eagle nails as they fought in the air.
As a result, over the past few days, Marco did not dare to do anything dangerous, and spent much of his time, doing his home renovation work with Beta, Fint and Fent.
Marco also continued to teach Fint and Fent, driving in his car, on the sidelines of his free time.
Fint and Fent are now able to drive, although it is still not too smooth, but can be considered quite proficient, so that it can replace Marco to deliver eggs to fresh groceries.
Since the incident, Bella no longer goes to her cake shop, and only Adaline goes to take care of Bella's cake shop.
Today, after Marco's wounds were treated by Bella, the woman allowed Marco to return to training, with much advice and admonition, and repeatedly told Marco and Beta to be more careful.
"Just calm... We're just going to practice fighting in the back yard" Marco said, persuading Bella not to sulk.
When Marco and Beta were in a fight that had lasted less than two hours since this morning, Marco could feel the arrival of another shapeshifter at his place of residence.
"Some one's coming!" marco said, stopping the struggle between himself and Beta.
"Is it dangerous?" ask Beta in a hurry.
"No. I don't think so" replied Marco.
For the past few days, it seems that Marco has been able to compare and contrast his intuition, when there is an approaching shapeshifter.
Is it the enemy, or is it just a shapeshifter of his supporters, so that he is no longer like at the beginning who approached the immigrants in his place, with carelessness and anger.
"Where?" ask Beta.
Marco looked up at the sky.
Nothing was seen up there, just his feelings that said, if there was another shapeshifter that was above them.
"At the top!" replied Marco.
Beta, which is still in the form of a lion, ran one corner of Marco's backyard.
And soon, a gust of strong wind due to the flapping of Beta's wings, hit Marco who just remained standing in the middle of his backyard, as Beta flew up.
Marco walked quietly, leading to the maple tree, and while maintaining his lion form, Marco sat under the tree.
Marco is just waiting for Beta to return, unwilling to come with him to meet another shapeshifter, whom Marco is suspected of being in space.
No need to linger Marco waited, just as Marco was sitting under the tree, Beta was back with a shapeshifter, which took the same shape as Beta.
"Marco! It's Delta!" beta.
"Gipz!" said the eagle who according to Beta was named Delta, while lowering his head, as if he was paying respect to Marco.
"Did you come alone?" ask Marco.
"Yes. Flints is still looking for Gamma" Delta replied.
"For so long Flints searched, but only you two could he find." said Marco flat.
"Because we never settled in one place for quite a long time" Beta said, as if understanding what Marco was thinking.
"Do you want to become human now?" ask Marco flat.
"Maybe it would be better if I changed into a human, so that we could be more comfortable talking" Delta replied.
Marco just snorted, then walked into the house, and continued to walk into the room, and changed into a human there.
After getting dressed, Marco returned to his backyard, bringing a pair of his own change of clothes for Delta to wear.
