Masked Assassin

"Alayna? Jeremiah?" Silas whispered as we went closer to their cell.

"Yes?" I heard my father's weak voice.

We stopped in front of their cell and soon a man and a woman came into view.

They looked even more frail and weak than the last time I saw them.

"Klaus?" Mum's eyes lit up when she saw the boy beside me. Klaus looked at me and I nodded.

A smile was plastered on his face when he whispered," Mum. Dad." I could see tears threatening to flow out of his eyes. He knelt down in front of them so that it was easier for him to talk to them since their eyes were at the same level.

I saw Dad ruffle Klaus's blonde hair and Mum smiling so widely her cheeks might hurt in just a few seconds.

"Seeing this makes me want to cry. This is too emotional," Sonia appeared out of no where.

"Same," Silas agreed.

"You still have about five minutes before the guards return to patrol again," Chase informed, pointing to an imaginary watch on his wrist.

I nodded and said," Okay. Thanks a lot."

I walked over to the trio and knelt down too.

"I think Klaus has something to tell you," I said, looking at my parents.

"What is it?"

Klaus blushed a little and sighed. "Mum, Dad, I'm g-gay."

I smiled encouragingly at Klaus.

"We know, Klaus," Dad said, smiling," And we are proud to have a gay son."

Klaus immediately smiled and said," Thanks. It means a lot to me."

"Dad?"

"Yes, Alaysieh?"

"What did you say before I went down to the basement four years ago?"

My dad smiled," I wanted to tell you to find your twin," he gestured towards Klaus and I," But you've already found him so it doesn't matter anymore."

Klaus and I looked at each other and smiled cheekily.

"Shit they're here much earlier than I've expected," I heard Chase say from behind me," We have to go now." He said in a louder volume.

"I'll break all of you out when I can," I whispered to my parents as we stood up and both of them smiled.

"I know you will, Alaysieh," My mum proudly said.

"Why are we walking this way? Aren't we supposed to go out by the rubbish chute that is in the other direction?" Klaus asked Sonia as we walked through the hallway.

"We are supposed to. But the smart-aleck here," She pointed at Chase," Decided to lock it."

"Great job, Chase," I said sarcastically.

"What?! How would I know that button was to lock the rubbish chute?!"

"Well, you are more than two hundred years old so technically you should know," Zavier shrugged.

"What are the six of you doing here?" A female voice asked.

All of us turned around immediately in shock and saw a tall slender brunette raising an eyebrow at us.

"Amanda," Sonia whispered under her breath.

"We are here because Alaysieh and Klaus wanted to see their parents," Silas blurted out everything, pointing at Klaus and I.
