Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

chapter 16

Amilia wasn't yet fully off her sentence yet, but she was planning events for that evening. Her father and mother had finally had enough, and while Amilia wasn't busy, we're going to meet Jasvinder's parents.

"You can't look like that," Amilia said sitting on the floor.

"Hm?" Yxeyhzfk responded.

"Your part Marked, correct?"

"Yes."

"Then you can look human, correct?"

"Yes."

"You might want to, you can't exactly scare his parents as a first impression." Yxeyhzfk nodded his head. Cristell already looked human so Amilia didn't worry too much about her. Yxeyhzfk changed his form and now stood before everyone as a young human man.

"Are we all ready then?" Jasvinder asked. They got up and went to the door. They all walked down the road together. Finally, they got to his house. Jasvinder knocked on the door before they went in. "Welcome to my humble a bow!" Jasvinder said showing off the front entrance.

"Oh hey!" Leo said walking towards them.

"What are you doing here Leo?" Amilia asked him.

"What do you think?" Leo said standing extremely close to her. Amilia slapped him across the face.

"Just get out already." She said pointing.

"Yes, mam! That was what I was doing anyway." Leo passed everything so slightly by Amilia and out the front door.

"You're here already?" Elsie asked. "Guess I should get lost then." Elsie found her way up the stairs and to her room.

"Mom, dad!" Jasvinder yelled throughout the house. "We're all here!"

"Oh, wonderful." His mother replied walking towards them. His mother looked young and had a nice smile on her face. "Please come on in, all we are waiting for is your father." Jasvinder welcomes them into the kitchen and helped them to sit down at the table. Jasvinder's mother sat herself down and extended her hand. "I'm Christiania Huff." Yxeyhzfk and Cristell both shook her hand.

"I'm yxe- um, Twitchle Cripple." He said to her as if he didn't know his own name.

"I'm Crystal Cripple," Cristell said to her politely.

"Very nice to meet you both. Now I've heard only wonderful news about your daughter." Amilia sank down into her chair and started to blush. "My dear Jay always comes home with some intriguing news about her. And ah yes, her and her little adventures!" Christiana laughed. Finally, Jasvinder's father joined them at the table. "This is Gernome." Jasvinder's mother told everyone. Gernome stretched his hand out to shake Amilia's parents' hands. Yxeyhzfk looked at him funny, he didn't speak, Gernome was introduced by Christiana. They all had a lovely dinner together. Amilia commented and thanked Jasvinder's mother for all the wonderful food. Of course, she was more than happy to cook. "Jasvinder, why don't you and Amilia go on up to your room? Let us adults get to know each other." Jasvinder shook his head and then Amilia and he went to his room. "Well, it's been a long time." Christiana started. "You look quite the same." Yxeyhzfk looked to Cristell.

"Whatever could you mean?" Yxeyhzfk asked her. Christiana laughed.

"You honestly don't recognize us?" Gernome covered his mouth and laughed a quiet laugh.

Isn't that funny, he said with his hands. He doesn't remember little ol' us.

"Don't be hilarious, Yxeyhzfk." Yxeyhzfk looked startled as he looked at her. Christiana sighed. "It's us." She began. "Those dangerous assassins from way back when. You do remember us, correct? The daredevil twins does ring a bell, right?"

"Ah, yes! You two are them?" He said surprised.

"Ha, Ha, yes!"

"But you two are siblings. How are Jasvinder and Elsie your kids?"

"Oh, there not," Christiana said. "They're our younger brothers kids." She paused. "Sadly they both became ill and passed away later that year when the twins were born, Myself and Gernome couldn't decide who should have custody of them, so we are acting like parents together." Yxeyhzfk was uncomfortable with this situation.

"What happened to you?" He said pointing to Gernome.

"He lost his voice in a, in a rather interesting accident."

"Hmm, I see."

"You know, that form doesn't suit you." She said. Yxeyhzfk looked up to her.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't look good in your human form." She looked at Cristell. "And I see Cristell hasn't changed a bit." She paused. "Now, let me ask you a question." She paused again. "If you have black hair and you have brown hair, then how in the world did Amilia end up with snow-white colored hair?"

"I have no idea," Yxeyhzfk responded. "I have not a clue how genes work."
