The Cheat Seed

Chapter 25



Chapter 25

"MOOOOM"

Marcus hugged his mother who was in shock.

Before being taken to the Dungeon, Marcus only used to be upto her shoulders but now he was much taller than she was.

Reiren G Orno, Did not avoid the stranger's embrace. She took him into her arms as if telepathically connecting with with the person in front of her. The warmth which Marcus was giving out sparked a doubt on her mind. Was this person in front of her Marcus? He lost son??.

Albert G Orno was quick to react and jolted up from his table. He was right behind Reiren G Orno within a second. Albert glared at the masked stranger and forcefully pushed him away from his wife.

"Who are you???"

Albert shouted.

"Are you one of the King's men??"

Albert shouted again when he didn't get any reply from the stranger.

Marcus was stunned. He looked at his hands, The same hands which embraced his mom a few seconds ago. This feeling, this feeling of joy he was having was heavenly. How many years has it been since he hugged his mom? When he got to middle school, he thought it was lame to hug his parents and showing his love. He loved them of course, but in public he thought it was embarrassing.

Marcus shook his head, he regretted his choice.

"HEYYY!!!!"

Marcus's head snapped back and he came eye to eye with Albert, his father.

"Tell me who you are?, Or else things could get messy."

Albert produced flames from his hands and took an attack stance.

Marcus took a step back. He relaxed his shoulders with a sigh. Taking a long breath and releasing it slowly he went for his mask. His hands fidgeted around the corner and he finally pulled the Mask off from his face.

Albert and Reiren, both of them stared at his face and frowned, suddenly recognition hit them and Albert's jaw slacked. Reiren gasped, her hand on her mouth. Slowly releasing her breath she asked the boy in front of her in her wavering voice.

"Mar...cus?" She pointed at him.

A tear dropped from his chin as he nodded frantically with a smile.

The time seemed to stop for a second. Everything got back to life when Marcus was tackled by his father onto the curb.

With a surprised look, Marcus stared at his father who buried his face on his chest.

"Dad??"

Marcus suddenly felt something wet under his sweatshirt which was below the Kimono.

"Dad?"

Marcus asked again, this time with a bit surprise on his voice as he realized it.

Albert was crying, he was literally leaking on Marcus.

"I knew... you were alive son, Y..You came back!!"

Marcus lifted his neck up a bit and struggled to get up, but was tightly held down by his father. He gave up and kept laying still on the curb. His Old man still had it in him. The Power!!!.

Reiren soon was beside her son who was pinned down by her husband. She stroked Albert's hair and then shifted to stroke her Son's hair all while crying. Marcus knew for an instance, those were the tears of joy, the tears of happiness.

He reached out for his mother and hugged her close to his chest too. They were having a family reunion after 2 tough and long years.

There was another thud and a step on the doorway. The three of them looked at the door. Marcus's eyes opened wide and he smiled to an extent that his face hurt and he looked like a moron.

His little baby sister, who was only 1 year old, was standing on the doorway, looking at her parents and a new person in between them.

"Momma?...Dadda??"

Little G Orno spoke out.

The three of them stared at each other stupidly for a second but soon got up on their feet.

The trio rubbed their eyes and wiped off the tears. Reiren soon called out to her little baby girl who was staring at Marcus as if she was looking at a monster.

"Evy, Come to Mama"

The baby girl heeded to her mom's call and rushed to her side. She fumbled a little but soon reached to her mother's side.

Reiren embraced her and kissed her cheeks. She lifted her up for Marcus. Marcus held out his hands towards his sister.

The girl hesitated for a second but due to it's innocence it smiled and stretched it's hands towards her brother. Marcus suppressed the feeling to run and jump all while saying KAWAII.

He blushed and embraced his sister to his arms.

"Her name is Evelyn, Evelyn G Orno m, we call her Evy"

Reiren whispered from his side.

"Hello Evy"

The girl looked at his face as if surprised.

"Brow-dah?"

Marcus's eyes opened and his cheeks reddened.

"HAIZZZZZZZ"

Marcus sighed.

'ACTUAL KAWAIIIIIIII'

His Mind screamed, No wait HIS SYSTEM SCREAMED.

'I know right, what less would you expect from my sister?'

Marcus thought in return.

Now as they were Integrated successfully, Telepathic talk was possible, Marcus now only had to think what he needed to say and the system would recognize it. So he literally wouldn't have to talk out loud to reply to the system which in return will not make him look like an idiot....Less like an Idiot.

Marcus felt his hands chill up.

"Huh?"

He looked at his arm, it was just Evy and there was nothing else. He shifted Evy to his other hand and the chillness went away, but instead his other arm started to chill up.

Now that he was up close with his sister. She was very pale. She was snow white. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Um Mom, Dad?, Is something wrong with Evy?"

Marcus slowly whispered it to his parents who were beside him.

"Ah Marcus, we meant to keep this a secret between us Four, but now as you have returned, this secret will be between the five of us."

"Uhuh"

Marcus nodded in return.

[Did she say Four of them?]

'Shut Up'

"Sooo, The thing is Son, Evy is a gifted child"

Albert said.

"Say what?"

Marcus perched his eyebrows in return.

"What your Father meant to say is that our Evy is a God-Gifted child. She has an Inborn affinity with the ICE Element"

His mom explained.

Marcus dropped his head low. His facial expressions were on neutral.

Suddenly he lifted Evy high into the air.

"MY SISTER IS THE MOST AWESOMEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!"

Reiren and Albert smiled as they both relaxed their head on each other.

"He is back"

"Yes he is"

They chuckled at their son who was now giving a piggyback ride to their daughter.

Their smile faded as they realized they had one more thing to tell.

"Um..Marcus?"

Albert called out to his Son who was now on the floor getting beaten up by Evelyn with a branch.

"Yea"

Marcus held his sister's hand gently and looked at them.

"Ahem, We had something...else to say"

Reiren stuttered and pinched her husband beside her.

"Ouch"

"Eh?"

Marcus didn't like where this was going to.

"Um....We...We have another new member in our family"

Albert said in one breath.

"Huh?"

*Step* *step*

Slow and soft steps sounded behind Marcus.

"Are...you...going to be..My.. Brother??"
