SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 89
While eating lunch with them, which had been served by Nancy's servant Marco, who was always immersed in his own thoughts, could hardly enjoy the taste of his food.
Marco wanted to immediately leave the dining table, and spend his time alone, so as not to be disturbed by the light discussion that had been, Nancy occasionally talked with Bella.
And apparently, Marco's poor appetite at the time, attracted Nancy's attention to rebuke him, he said,
"Didn't the food match your taste?"
"Eh! No. gabe. I'm sorry." replied Marco.
"You should eat first!
It will not produce anything, if you insist on thinking about something, on an empty stomach...
You just won't be able to concentrate" said Nancy.
"Yes," replied Marco flatly.
Finally, Marco finished eating all his food, which he had only pushed with a fork.
"Thank you for the food! Now, I want to go over there." said Marco, asking permission to change seats.
"Please!" answer Nancy.
Marco then stood up and went and walked towards the door at the side, which had been the way for the arrival of the shapeshifter of Alpha's replacement followers.
By opening the door wide, Marco enjoyed the fresh air while gazing out, and went back to being immersed in his own thoughts, for some time.
"Is there anything you might be planning?"
Beta's voice suddenly asked, making Marco look towards the arrival of the voice.
Beta was seen standing nearby, without Marco noticing how long Beta had been there.
"I thought about going alone to see a substitute Alpha in the castle" Marco replied.
"Are you crazy?" This time, Delta's voice rose, sounding very close to Marco.
"I was just kidding! There's no way that you take my words seriously, and want to try to do that!" advanced Delta.
"Maybe you're not seriously expecting me to go alone to the castle. But that's true, isn't it?! If I was the only one who could get there, without the need to harm anyone" Marco said.
"No. Wasting your own life, is not the right decision either!" delta said insistently.
"Can you challenge me?" ask Marco wonder.
"We can oppose you for something that involves your life and death" replied Gamma who knew when it had come, and knew it was near them.
"That's our job. Because the ones who deserve to be in dangerous positions for the first time, it's us and not you" Gamma continued.
"Then you guys are crazy!" said Marco.
"For what to die silly, just for the reason of duty?" continued Marco cynically.
"Then do you consider our respective responsibilities non-existent?
You're supposed to be a leader, not just a great pretender (though they have to admit that Marco was great) and work on your own...
If anything happens to you, what about your people?" beta.
"What about Bella, and your future offspring?" continue Beta.
"You're manipulative. Using Bella and her womb to defy my plans" Marco said.
"But it's true. Don't just think about yourself!" delta.
"Never call me selfish! I want to do all this, not for myself!
Except for my family and for you as the same people as me!" snapped Marco.
Beta, Gamma and Delta were then silent for some time.
Maybe we can find a better way...
And for the time being, we can survive first" said Gamma slowly.
Hearing the words of Gamma who spoke in a soothing tone of voice, could make Marco influenced, to choose to postpone his new plan which they considered was a crazy plan.
In a slow walk Marco then approached Bella and Nancy who were sitting on the sofa.
"Are we not back in Bridget yet?" marco asked Bella.
"You guys want to go home? It's up to you guys" said Bella.
"Grandmas! We might as well go home now. I'll leave my phone number...
If there's anything, Grandma can call us, and we'll be here as soon as possible" Marco said.
"What do you want to do? Until I have to call you right away...
Was there a chance to meet your Mommy? Or when a surrogate Alpha follower calls you to meet with a surrogate Alpha?" ask Nancy.
"Both, Grandma! If there's anything else than that, Grandma can still contact me" Marco replied.
"I want you to stay with me." said Nancy.
"Grandmas! Please don't make us feel uncomfortable. The journey back to my house is quite a long way," Marco said.
"Yes, I get it" said Nancy.
"You should also, do not make dangerous plans that are not carefully thought out.." continued Nancy then stood up from her seat, and walked toward one corner of the room.
Nancy seemed to write something down on a piece of paper, before she walked back to Marco.
"This is the phone number in the house" Nancy said, handing a piece of paper with the numbers on it, to Marco.
"You write here your phone number!" nancy said again, handing another blank piece of paper, as well as an ink pen to Marco.
Marco wrote down his phone number on blank paper, then returned the paper to Nancy.
"I wish all this would be over soon...! Until I can spend my old days with my family, in our real house in the castle" Nancy said, hugging Marco.
"Take care of yourself, Marco! Please remember my words, so as not to do anything in vain and endanger the safety of you and your partner" continued Nancy.
"Yes, Grandma! Wish me luck!" said Marco.
"Of course...!" answer Nancy.
Nancy then hugs Bella for quite a while, before she lets go, and walks Marco, Bella and the other three shapeshifters, out of the place.
"Be careful on the road!" nancy said, when they were all in the store.
"Thank you Ma'am for everything!"
Beta, Gamma and Delta almost simultaneously thanked Nancy, before they all walked away and went to where Marco's car was parked.
When they all got in the car, and Marco started to speed his vehicle on the road, Beta seemed to mutter to himself, as Marco looked at it from the rearview mirror.
"What's wrong with you, Beta?" ask Marco.
"There's nothing... I was just worried that I would feel dizzy, like when we left here this morning" Beta replied.
"It's not just you." Delta continued slowly.
"So, do you like to go back without using this vehicle?" ask Marco.
Apparently, the three of them would prefer that they change shape, and run or fly back to Bridget.
But, after the three of them seemed to be staring at each other for a while, no one dared to let out his voice, and just fell silent, then stared out the window.
"Hmmm... I'm not going to drive too fast. If you feel uncomfortable, just say it!" marco said, then refocused on looking out into the streets.
