Not What She Seems

Meeting Her Parents

"Why are you always distancing yourself from me!" she exclaimed.
"Look, I don't want it to be like this but it's better this way. It's safer for you." the other woman responded.
"I don't care! I just want it to be like old times! I would rather get ruined by one of your crazy science experiments!" she exclaimed again.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" the other woman exclaimed.
"Wow, you're a real jerk. I allow you to use one of your stupid experiments on my baby girl and this is how you repay me? Distancing yourself from me?" she exclaimed. The other woman went quiet.
"I'm sorry." the other woman finally responded.
"Sorry won't fix it this time. Look at what you did to my daughter!" she screamed. She raised her baby girl's right hand up. Her baby's fingers were merged together crippled, the baby's fingers were merged together so her thumb and index finger were merged together, her middle finger was alone, and her other two fingers were also merged together.
"I'm so so so so sorry." the other woman responded with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I'm taking me and my child away from you and your weird experiments! Don't talk to me anymore!" she said, storming out of the room.

"Alright, I think it's time to call it a day and head to my house." Yavara suggests.
"Yeah, I think so." I say.
"Yavara, come here." the security guard who was behind me when we were in our dorm before motions for Yavara to come. She walks on towards him, and I'm able to pick up on some of what he said.
"....careful, I don't know why your parents hired us security guards, but you best be careful not to.....secret. Apparently, it must be important enough for your parents to care so much." he said. Yavara nods her head and races down the hallway.

"How long have we been walking? My feet ache!" Relvin whines.
"We're here!" Yavara exclaims. Relvin collapses on the driveway.
"Don't even. Your house is two blocks further than this." Yavara says while dragging Relvin up the steps.
Man, I have to admit, Yavara's house is huge! Bigger than I expected. I've heard she was an all-round student, but they never said anything about her being rich. I can't wait for the look on Yavara's face when she opens that door and her mother sees me. That'll be something to treasure.
"Mom! I'm home!" Yavara exclaims, running up to her mother to hug her.
"Oh! I hope it's ok if I brought my friends too!" Yavara says.
"Hi auntie," I say, smirking and waving my crippled right hand for her to see. "don't you remember me?". Her eyes widen and she gasps. Yes, see me. Be surprised. Look how much your failed experiment has grown.
