SHAPESHIFTERS
Part 91's
Apparently, Delta was still dissatisfied with what she thought last night.
Delta was more silent, and seemed to avoid anyone who tried to talk to her.
Even this morning, Delta's behavior is still the same.
Even though Marco asked what was going on, Delta still locked his mouth tightly.
When Marco invites them to fight, Delta asks Marco for permission not to train that afternoon.
Because of that, Marco shortened his training time.
His only fight against Beta and Gamma, Marco felt too easy, to make Marco feel bored.
"What is Delta thinking?" tanya Beta, when they had all just finished changing to human form, and walked up to Delta who seemed to be sitting under a maple tree.
Marco and Gamma were silent, and kept walking slowly, until they finally sat down with Delta under the tree.
Delta looked like it was daydreaming, and stared straight, regardless of the arrival of Marco, Beta and Gamma.
For some time they were there, none of them had uttered a word.
Really just being quiet.
"Darling! There was a phone call from the convent" Bella said, who was seen walking to them.
"What's wrong?" ask Marco.
"Say, Sister Martha fell ill, and wanted to see you" replied Bella.
Marco stunned.
For a long time Marco had not heard from Sister Martha, since Marco's last arrival to the convent, and made the woman aware from her long slumber.
And now, he's sick?
"What pain?" ask Marco.
"Did they tell you?" marco continued in a hurry.
"none. They just say that Sister Martha is very weak now, and wants to be able to meet you soon" replied Bella.
"Hmmm... All righty! I'll be there after lunch" Marco said.
"Lunch now! The food is ready" Bella asked.
Marco then stood up from his seat, and walked slowly while embracing Bella.
"You don't want to eat?" marco asked without turning around.
Not long after, Marco could sense that someone was approaching behind him, and walked after him.
"They've lived here a long time. But, they still act like strangers, who need to be invited first, then they want to eat," said Marco.
Once inside the house, Marco realizes that Delta is not coming with him, and only Beta and Gamma are following him.
"Where's Delta?" ask Marco wonder.
"He was still sitting under a tree" replied Gamma.
"Call him in! Until when does he need to stay aloof?!" said Marco.
Gamma then half ran, out of the house, while Beta, sitting at the dinner table with Marco.
Delta is finally seen approaching the dining table, with Gamma.
"After lunch, you should talk about what you think!" marco said firmly.
Delta then nodded his head.
"Yes" replied Delta.
Without lingering, after all had finished his lunch, and Bella and Seba had already lifted all their used utensils, Marco invited delta to speak.
"Say, what's up!" said Marco.
"I'm still thinking about the possibility that your Mommy is indeed an Elf" Delta said.
"Then what?" ask Marco.
"That's exactly why I can't talk about it yet, because I'm still confused, too" Delta replied.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation... But, can you talk on the way to the convent?" ask Bella slowly.
"What I heard on the phone earlier, they at the convent seem to want you to go there immediately" Bella continued.
"Are you going with me?" ask Marco.
"I still feel tired because of our trip yesterday" replied Bella.
"You go with Delta alone! Let me and Gamma keep Bella here" Beta said.
"Hmmm... Not necessary. I'll go there myself. You three just keep watch here" said Marco.
"Darling! I go first, if I need something and I'm not back yet, you can tell them, or just call the convent...
I'll be right back, if there's nothing I need to do there" Marco continued, then hugged Bella for a bit.
"Yes. Be careful on the road!" said Bella.
The sun did not feel too hot, when entering autumn as it is today.
The trees on the left-right side of the road body, the leaves are now yellowing, with only a slight disturbance, it will fall to the ground.
The scenery is different when entering the territory of monasteries and orphanages.
The towering pine trees, still look greenish, and look refreshing to the eyesight.
Still like when Marco visited there some time ago, in the courtyard of the monastery and orphanage seemed empty, without any vehicles parked.
After parking his car, Marco walked slowly to the monastery building, and it seems Marco was already awaited his arrival.
"Good day, Sister!" marco said with a greeting.
"Good day! Please enter! Sister Martha was waiting inside" said one of the women in religious uniform, who was standing at the door of the monastery.
"Thank you!" marco said, then walked slowly into the monastery.
Not how long Marco walked, saw Sister Maria walking quite quickly, and approached Marco.
"You better hurry!" sister Maria said, without giving Marco a chance to greet her.
"Suster Martha is sick what?" marco asked as he walked in the footsteps of Sister Maria.
"We don't know either... All of a sudden, he became ill, and doctors were unable to provide a proper diagnosis for his illness...
That's why, we called you. Because, given that time, the Lord worked through your hands, "sister Mary answered.
Marco did not comment on the words of Sister Maria, because he knew very well what had happened to Sister Martha at that time.
It was not the miracle of God that Marco brought, but only to break the evil of a cruel creature that had no mercy.
And it makes Marco feel ashamed, because he is the main cause, so that Sister Martha can experience the incident.
In the same room as the last time Marco met Sister Martha, today Sister Martha is also lying there.
"She suddenly lost consciousness while she was learning to walk" sister Maria said.
Marco mangut-mangut understood.
Just natural.
For about fifteen years without any movement, of course Sister Martha will need time to train her body and motor nerves, in order to walk and move normally again.
"How long has Sister Martha been like this?" ask Marco.
"It's been almost three days" answered Sister Maria.
According to Marco, there is nothing strange about the appearance of Sister Martha, when compared to when Marco saw her at that time.
It's possible, there's nothing.
Sister Martha was just plain sick.
To be sure, Marco then touched the hand of Sister Martha who was lying straight beside her body, which was covered with a blanket.
Nothing happened.
Sister Martha did not react with Marco's touch.
"Sorry, Sister!" said Marco.
"It's okay. It is not our will, but it is God's will!" sister Maria said.
"Thank you for trying and visiting Sister Martha!" continued sister Maria.
