Broken, Forgotten, So...Life pretty much sucks right now.

[Jaken Styx]

It had been two months since Jaken had arrived in the Styx Manor to further his healing. Nothing would take away the scars, and Jaken was as of the moment trapped in a world of darkness. Though the haze was clearing, as his silver eyes fluttered opened to see a vaguely familiar navy blue room. He felt extremely stiff in his muscles, as if he hadn't used them in a long time. Slowly, Jaken sat up in his bed, surprised that he was at home. Wasn't he supposed to be at school right now? He had just finished the NEWTs. Did he and some friends party so hard, he had forgotten everything? Jaken doubted it. Glancing around, he didn't realize just what time it was, nor what year it was. Jaken yawned a bit, and touched his face.

That was when shock settled in. He felt some stubble! He had some facial hair! He felt built as well. What happened? Jaken threw the covers back, seeing that he was in normal pajama pants and didn't have a shirt on. He had a stab wound...or rather a scar from a stabbing on his side, and then what looked like a Sectumsempra scar across his chest and his shoulder. Then, there was the part where his right leg was a bit too stiff. Jaken winced a bit, but he was afraid to say something. He wanted to see what the date was, seeing as his body seemed much older, and he had facial hair and stuff, and he wasn't at school. Did he get into a rough fight with a cheese grater or what?

 

[Kailie Styx]

Young Kailie had been skipping through the house, singing something or another about the Dark Ages, when she heard a sound from her big brother's room. Kailie was happy you see that her big brother had come home, even though he was always sleeping. Her hair was tied back in a neat bow done by her mommy. Kailie, with her large blue eyes peeked into the room of Jaken, and she saw her big brother awake. In a hurry, Kailie ran down the hallway, and into the bedroom where her mommy was. "Mommy! Mommy! Jaken is awake! Come see!" Kailie was sure that her daddy and Hades were downstairs talking about something important but she didn't know. Kailie was almost sure that Patricia had gone back to the school. Kailie ran back into her brother's bedroom, and with a large leap, she pounced on her brother. She snuggled into his chest, and she beamed up at him, knowing that he could hold her as she was tiny and he was large and built. "Jake! You are awake! I missed you!" Kailie was too young to understand that Jaken was clueless about what time it was, and that his memories were a bit out of whack.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette slowly lifted her head to see her daughter Kailie run into the bedroom with an impressive speed for a seven year old girl, but what the girl said made the older Death Eater's eyes widen in surprise. Jaken was actually awake or was the young girl imagining things? Standing up slowly, Nicolette let out a small groan of displeasure when she was fully standing because of how pregnant she was at the moment. Now she was currently over eight months pregnant, thankfully she looked as if she was only around four months pregnant and was able to still move around much more easily then she could when she was pregnant with the twins. Before Nicolette could ever tell her to hold on a minute Kailie started off towards the room that Jaken was in and she found it a bit of a hassle to try and keep up with her to make sure that she didn't make any excess noise in case Jaken wasn't actually awake. The moment she arrived inside the room though she blinked in amazement, it seemed he actually was awake and seemed to be an okay condition right now. "Kailie be careful not to hurt him. Wow, your actually awake." Nicolette stated calmly but softly as she stepped more into the room, keeping her sparkling gold eyes fixed on the young man that Kailie was currently all over, she seemed excited to have her big brother back. Did Hades and Kalif have any idea that he was awake right now, she figured they wouldn't because they were currently downstairs discussing something.

"How are you feeling Jaken?" Nicolette asked calmly once again, her bubblyness seemed to currently be absent and was replaced with a more soft and darker seeming side. She figured it was most likely due to her being pregnant or being tired, right now Jaken seemed confused and she wondered exactly what was going through his head right now.

 

[Nicolas Styx]

Nicolas heard commotion going on in another room and his curiosity immediately rose to a new level, he absolutely had to go see what it was. He picked himself up from his and his twins bedroom floor and padded his way into a room he wasn't really familiar with and let his large stormy eyes shift around the room with amusement, his mother, big sister, and some man he vaguely remembered were all in the room and he let a small grin rise to is face, this new guy needed to be given a proper greeting. Nicolas's chubby legs brought him over to the bed where the man was where he raised his arms and stood on his toes, signifying that he wanted to be picked up and be on the bed where he was. "Da!" He stated quickly, trying to get the mans attention any way he possibly could.

 

[Jaken Styx]

Jaken felt a little surprised when Kailie bound into his arms. She had gotten so big! How old was she? Wasn't she just five? If he had a judgment, he would say that Kailie was about seven. Jaken held her steady in his arms, and he cradled her. He glanced up when he heard his name from a voice that wasn't very familiar at all. "Um, yeah..." Jaken murmured. Of course he was awake. How long had he been unconscious? Two years? The golden eyes gave him chills when she seemed just slightly familiar. But nothing came to mind. Not a name, nothing. "I'm feeling fine. Just a little thirsty." Jaken shrugged a bit, signaling that he was fine. "If you don't me asking, but who are you and why are you in my dad's house? And why am I not in school?" His voice surprised him even. He sounded so...much older! Jaken wanted to get up and see what he looked like. Jaken set his little sister next to him when a baby called up to him. Jaken didn't know who it was, but maybe it was this woman's baby...with stormy eyes? Jaken bent down and lifted the baby into his lap and he smiled, "Now who are you, little guy?"

 

[Kailie Styx]

Kailie giggled when Jaken seemed to know nothing of what was going on. "Jake! Silly! She is mommy! And he is our baby brother Nicolas!" Kailie rolled in Jaken's comforters and she gazed over at Nicolette to see her round belly. Not as round as before, but she knew that there would be another brother. "Oh! Mommy! I want a baby sister next!" Kailie smiled innocently over at her mother, and she didn't know that things were not as simple. Baby making wasn't that simple at all. But Kailie wanted a baby sister so badly.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette raised an eyebrow, whatever Hades had done to the poor boy had definitely worked because he seemed to have no idea of anything right now, she even vaguely wondered if his injuries were completely healed. "Would you like something to drink?" She asked softly, still unsure what to make of this situation at all, perhaps she should go get Kalif and Hades to see what they make of it especially when he started answering event he most simple questions. It seemed that he didn't remember her or her children being around, so Hades must have knocked a bit of his memory out. Jaken picked up Nicolas and the corners of her lips curled up in a vague smile, Nicolas just loved attention.

"I'm Nicolette your ..errr...step-mother. And that little boy is your half-brother Nicolas." She pointed out slowly, she knew he would need time to grasp the idea that he in fact didn't have a lot of his memories or anything, her golden eyes kept a close gaze on her son who seemed happily content in Jaken's lap right now. A soft smile was shot at Kailie's direction too, at least she was trying to help too because Nicolette was sure what to say or do around him at the moment. "Jaken, you Graduated a while ago." Nicolette stated once again when he had asked why he wasn't at school this was getting harder and harder for her to explain but she wasn't exactly sure what Hades wanted this boy to believe about his past or anything, especially when it came to the accident and his memories. "Oh Kailie sweetie me too, it only it was easy like that though." She snorted softly as he placed a hand on her stomach, she was due to have another boy in about a month or so and with all honesty she was going to be so thrilled out not being pregnant anymore. Even if it was a boy she adored him senseless already and hoped he would be less of a handful than the twins currently were.

 

[Jaken Styx]

Nicolas? Mommy? His father married again? Jaken cradled the young on in his arms, admiring how natural he was with babies. He chuckled at Kailie, but chose not to remind her that Namina was her mother, not Nicolette. Jaken sighed a bit, and he raised an eyebrow, "What are you on, Nicolette? I'm just eighteen, aren't I?" But then again, things were just making his head hurt even more. Groaning, he sat back on the bed, and allowed Nicolas to sit on his stomach. "I guess some water would be nice." His head was spinning, and Kailie wasn't doing a good job at keeping quiet, with her giggles and such. But he didn't want her to leave, afraid that he will just sink into that empty abyss that he was in before he had woken up. If he did graduate, where were all of his friends? Estrella Drage? She meant the most to him. He loved her. But if what Nicolette said was true, that he graduated a while back, and two years had passed because of looking at Kailie, then what happened to him and Estrella? Maybe she met a good man, and she got married or something. Damn, I could have been her perfect husband!

OOC: Nicolas Hensel can come in now.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette shook her head at Jaken softly, she knew he was out of it because his memories were really screwed up but how on earth could he think she was on something. It didn't take very long for her to decide what she should do about all of this because he seemed confused and extremely lost about everything right now. "I'll get you some water, I think I better go get your dad and brother though...they'd know more about this than I would." Nicolette sighed and gave one last look at Nicolas and Kailie, figuring that they would be okay with Jaken for a little bit. This was something she definitely didn't want to deal with so late in her pregnancy and when she was having all those issues with the Snows.

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

Nicolas stared up at the Manor with uncertainty in his gold eyes, he had been told various times that this was where his little sister could be found living but he still wasn't sure. The man was also now working at the school as a Potions Professor but that didn't aid in his search but not many people he had encountered all that much seemed to know where or who she was. But eventually he found someone and they led him here, it was still in New Zealand but he wasn't one hundred percent sure where it was in New Zealand. 'If that creepy other family of hers is in there maybe I better wait.' He moved away from plain sight of one of the widows and brushed some of his long brown hair our of his face, he felt like such a creeper right now doing this. Several times he was also tempted to just leave, but then he remembered why he was here in the first place, to find and 'talk' to his sister. Maybe even learn a little bit more about this new family of hers in the process. Her being married and being around and all peachy with another family worried Nicolas to no end, end the family members that remained of the Hensel's agreed that what she had done and was doing now was something they bothered them.

Catching another glimpse in the window he had yet to see his sister or even anyone else move around, he was almost tempted to sneak inside because he was growing bored of waiting to see if his sister was around. With a hasty shake of his head he started over to a window, it wouldn't take him long to be inside and moving around the Manor.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades had been talking with Kalif over Jaken, when something caught out of the corner of his eyes. "Hold on, dad. I think we might have a problem." He had heard someone outside too. A little bit of brown hair caught his eye from the window, and he shushed, "I'll be right back." For someone trying to stalk or spy on the family, they weren't doing a very good job because he was the master of stealth. Hades walked around the house, the Manor more or less, and Hades peeked from around the corner to see a man glimpsing into the window. Hades silently made his way to the man, his cloak making zero noise as well. Hades gazed over the man's body, knowing right where to hit, and where it will temporarily stun him. Smirking, Hades said, "You know, you aren't doing a very good job on spying on us."

With a quick jab to the neck, hitting precisely where he needed to in order to stun the man, Hades used his other hand to clinch the man by the back of his shirt, and Hades started to drag him. After a bit of walking, and dragging, Hades opened the front door, dragged the man into the living room, and tossed him on the floor in front of his father. "I think we had a spy in our mists." Hades glanced down at the eyes, the golden eyes. "A relative of Nicolette's?" Hades inquired from Kalif, as seeing from the look in his eyes, Kalif knew him.

 

[Kalif Styx]

Kalif narrowed his eyes at Hades when he left, and he shook his head as he crossed into the living room. When the door opened and closed, Kalif gazed up to see Hades dragging a body. Now what in the world had he done? Kalif thought, and when the body was dropped, Kalif immediately knew it was Nicolas. The brother that was after Nicolette, and the one that she happened to name their son after. Kalif shot a glare at Hades and he hissed, "Az ne znam dali da se gordeya s teb, ili vi se obazhdat edin idiot za da znayat, che toĭ e shpionazh." (Translation: "I don't know whether to be proud of you, or call you an idiot for knowing that he was spying.") Kalif glanced down at Nicolas, debating on getting his wand out on the man, for he had irritated him once again. "It is one thing to pick up a child and hold him for ransom, but it is another to dare come into my home uninvited. Hades, this would be your step-uncle." Kalif glared at Hades and he almost told him to leave, but he did not. To Nicolas, Kalif growled, "Try to harm Nicolette, and force her to go into early labor, and I will have your head served on a platter to the rats tonight. You will not be receiving any 'privacy' to speak with her." Kalif turned to Hades, "Kakvo napravi, go paralizira?" (Translation: "What did you do, paralyze him?") When Hades gave a curt nod, Kalif couldn't help but be impressed, even if the effects were temporary.

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

Nicolas barely had time to react when he heard someone speak to him, by the time he had turned to retort someone had struck his nerves that were located at the back of his neck, temporarily paralyzing him immediately. Then the stranger clinched him by the back of his shirt and began to drag him inside the manor, even though this was exactly where he wanted to be Nicolas was worried about going inside. After being drug around for a bit he was fully inside and the man dropped Nicolas onto the ground he noted he still couldn't move all that much. He had to give this guy props because the only other person he had ever met that could numb his nerves like that except his younger sister who was famous for stuff like that. The man he had run into last time with the baby was here and started to speak to him, whatever he was saying though really irked Nicolas off since he talked as if it was him that controlled who Nicolette could see. "I have to say Hades, I acknowledge your skill to paralyze me so easily." He almost mocked the creepy male as he let out a insane chuckle. He was finally able to move some and turned his head to get a good look at both men, they looked so dark and hateful it almost gave Nicolas chills just being around the two of them. After a few more moments he felt the blood pumping through his body once again and carefully pushed himself back up to a standing position just in time to catch what else the man his sister was 'married' too was saying to him. He was pissed off now.

"Force her into early labor? What do you mean?" Was his sister going to have another child or something, Nicolas was very confused but his anger towards the taller man overpowered his confusion. His golden eyes narrowed at the man and he clenched his fists together in frustration, who on earth did this man think he was to say such things? Nicolas may harm her, may not since it really all depended on her and how she reacted to all of this. "Says who, you? I think that is actually up to her. She's my sister so I'll do what I want to her." He stated with a small snort, Nicolas was not afraid of this guy just yet and felt he had the right to speak with her alone and if fate ended up badly for the two of them so be it. "Where is my dearest baby sister at anyways?" Nicolas asked clenching his fists for a moment, he was tempted to just step around Kalif and Hades and started looking around, but he wasn't an idiot.

 

[Kalif Styx]

Kalif had had enough. With stress levels through the roof, he couldn't handle being in his calm state anymore - which was frightening to anyone else who was in the way of Kalif's wrath. Like a black blur, and lightning speed, his hand reached out and clenched Nicolas' throat. If he had his weapon, Nicolas would have been a dead man. But for now, he was simply a man without oxygen. "Force her into early labor as in she is pregnant, moron." Kalif turned his blackened eyes, full of rage, to his oldest son. The cold Kalif was long gone, as now he was the frightening man that most knew from Asparuh's point of view. Now, Kalif was a replica of his father's wrath just warped into his own. "Get upstairs. Make sure the children and Nicolette are in the same room, with Jaken. Now." Kalif didn't even wait to see if Hades had done what he said, knowing for a fact that Hades would never disobey him.

He turned his glare to Nicolas. "You contradict yourself. You say it is up to her, and then you say that you will do what you want with her, which as from the first statement, it should be more like 'she will allow you to talk to her'. I say what goes around here, because this is my territory, and everyone under this roof is under my command. It would be much different if it were your house. No, this is the Styx Manor, and any action that is thought of will be approved by me. Now, if you don't calm down, and act like an adult, then maybe I'll let you speak with her, so long as I am there. You have picked the wrong day to come sneaking around here, Nicolas." Kalif wanted so badly to just take a dagger and run it through Nicolas, dissecting him alive. However, instead, Kalif merely tossed the man aside on the couch. "Now, you will do as I order around here, or else you will never speak to Nicolette again. I do have connections to take her to a place where not even the Ministry can locate. Which would be better, confronting the matter in a way that you didn't have planned but will have it done nonetheless, or searching your entire life for a woman whom you were never able to locate due to your childish and ignorant behavior." Kalif stood, his arms crossed, his eyes evil and cold, and obviously pissed off. However, underneath the anger, the reason behind it was there. He was concerned over Nicolette, as well as his children. After Jaken's incident, who can really blame Kalif for being on edge?

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

This man was too fast, Nicolas couldn't even begin to make a move before the man was holding him by the throat. Nicolas thought he looked so dark and hateful, maybe even stressed and for a moment all the air in his lungs felt like it was absent. Especially when he was told that Nicolette was currently pregnant, that little bit of information just changed everything about his plan to speak to her. It also made him very angry at the man holding his throat for some reason, it was like his brotherly instinct to be worried over Nicolette and not trust whoever this guy is, even if he seemed to be doing a good job scaring the crap out of Nicolas to protect his family. 'So that boy knows where she is?' Hades was ordered to go upstairs and make sure that the family was in the same room with someone named Jaken, watching as he left he vaguely wondered if the people here actually even cared for his sister or if they used her for someone to bring children into the world. It wasn't before long when Nicolas was tossed aside onto the couch and was able to breath and grasp his throat, it felt like the man had almost crushed it or something, his golden eyes locked onto the man as he spoke once again.

"Why do you have to be present when I speak to her?" Nicolas breathed out, what if these were extremely private matters, would the man force himself to be present still? It made him feel uneasy to think that someone would be there especially if things got hostile between them, which he figured it most likely would. He snorted softly, this man also seemed protective and that was rare to find in such darkness these days, but he wasn't exactly sure why that meant he had to be around when Nicolas conversed with his sister. "My sister isn't the one that needs to be protected anyways." Nicolas was the one who had to watch his back, he didn't dare try to get her going especially now that she was pregnant but also because from what he remembered Nicolette wasn't that ever nice and would probably just at the chance to beat Nicolas' head in. This man made Nicolas very weary, he had strength and seemed willing to tear a person apart, and his eyes were so dark compared to his own, he made sure that he was on his guard from this point on and was even starting to consider letting the man have his way, but he still thought it would ruin things and put his own life in danger. "It's her choice whether she wants to speak to me or not, but she will listen to me whether she likes it or not or there will be problems. Whether even you like it or not, got it?" Nicolas stated to Kalif his eyes burning as he said this. He was not going to let his sister try and get out of this once or ignore him, he didn't care if she was happy here or not.

 

[Kalif Styx]

"Because I picture you as a threat to her. I've lost a daughter, almost lost a son recently, and I'll be damned if I am just going to let you waltz up in there," snapped Kalif. Apparently, there was a big misunderstanding. Kalif's angered expression switched to confusion when Nicolas said what he said. "So, you think she will attack you...as you are the one needing protecting?" Kalif rose an eyebrow. "Before that mudblood James died, Nicolette seemed quite terrified of him. How do I know that you just don't plan to do whatever James was wanting to do before I accidentally knocked him off the cliff?" Kalif was not only being overly cautious, but he was also sticking to his original story by accidentally knocking James off of a cliff trying to save Cecily.

"Get this through your head, kid, you can't make someone listen to you, and whatever this family business you have with Nicolette, I can see why you both are upset. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Both sides have errors, and not one is to blame." Kalif spoke coldly, as he started to pace in front of Nicolas. All of this seemed confusing. Nicolas, as he perceived, was a threat to Nicolette, but this man thought that Nicolette was a threat? "If you need protecting from her, then you shouldn't be worried about that. It is against our laws to physically combat if you are pregnant, and if need be, I could hold her back easily. But if you attacked first, you won't have much luck going against me. Then I may consider allowing her to attack as well via wand. However, whilst I am present, you two will remain calm, as Damianos is sleeping, and my older son is resting. One word that is raised above the normal tone, and I will silence the two of you, and send you out of my house. You are lucky that Hades dragged you in here. After having my other son being attacked like he was, I would have harmed you, possibly fatally out of defense. You are also lucky that I am even giving you a chance."

Kalif started to walk toward the stairs, "Heed my warning. I never back out of my own threats. Follow, but you will not get one moment alone. One chance is all you get, or else you will see yourself flying out of a two-story window. If your wand comes out, I will make sure you never speak again." Kalif started up the stairs, and down one of the many corridors. Kalif opened the door to Jaken's room, motioned for Nicolette to come out, in which Kailie had unfortunately followed. To get this over with. Kalif made sure that there was enough space for conversation, but not enough to get physically violent. Especially with Kailie there, with Kalif, he just hoped that he didn't have to end up killing Nicolas after all of this was over. Nicolette should know better in her condition to not attack Nicolas as well. Kalif once more would have to be the damned referee.

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

For a moment Nicolas felt pity for the man, he had lost a daughter and almost a son recently. Nicolas knew all to well how that felt because he had grown up losing people he cared about left and right. James had done a good job destroying almost everything the Hensel's held dear, and now that he was gone they were all pretty unsure how to live now that they weren't being constantly threatened. "Because I went through the same exact suffering she did when James was around, your the one that killed him?" Nicolas asked with widened gold eyes, if he was truly the one that had killed him then the Hensel's were in his debt in so many ways, because of him the terror was over and the family was actually allowed to repopulate now without him murdering them off.

However Kalif continued on and Nicolas suddenly almost as confused as he did, obviously they were not on the same page about Nicolette here and that bothered the golden eyed male. He was going to be able to see his sister but that was what worried him, was she going to let his slide by any easier than he hoped she would. "Obviously we are not on the same page here. My sister is a freak and she's probably going to want me hacked to pieces. She's not nice." Nicolas stopped speaking as he followed Kalif up the stairs, the man was claiming that he would allow Nicolette to try and do combat and he relaxed, as long as she could not to harm to him then he should be fine. However the other various threats that he was receiving from the man were not that comforting either. He hoped they would stay constant in his mind so he wouldn’t forget not to try pulling out his wand or anything. ”I still don’t see why you have to babysit us, but whatever. If she gets pissed off your dealing with it…not me.” Nicolas sighed as he continued to follow the man upstairs with worry growing more evident with each step he took, the last time he had seen his sister was when she was eighteen, and he had to pretend like he was being executed. If she knew he had really been alive this whole time then she was not going to be pleased.

When they were fully upstairs Nicolas nodded once and watched Kalif open the door and motion for someone to come out. And within moments some little girl and some woman both came out, and Nicolas nearly chocked on his breath, his little sister really was pregnant. On top of that she was so much…..older looking than she was the last time he had seen her. ”Nicolette? You’ve gotten so big!” He couldn’t stop himself from just blurting that out with astonishment as he stepped closer to her to where they were almost face to face, he knew he was supposed to be angry but he was unsure if that was even possible now. However a moment after just looking at her, his anger returned and he clenched his fists as tightly as he could to hold himself back from trying to hit her.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette was surprised when Hades had come upstairs but was happy to see him around nonetheless and not trying to kill Jaken or anything, her visit with the two men was short lived though when the door was opened and Kalif motioned for her to come out. She immediately stopped tending to Jaken and told him she would be back in a bit, then hastily stepped out of the room and out into the hallway with Kailie in hot pursuit. As soon as she saw her husband she gave him a calm smile, her bubbly nature seemed to be almost completely absent at the moment and she looked just generally tired. "Hey, Jaken's awake. His injuries seem to be doing okay...but...well he can't remember a lot of stuff." She commented, unsure if that was the plan or not but she figured she should let Kalif know how Jaken was doing. Nicolette had seen how upset he was when Jaken was hurt and if possibly she fell that much harder for him, the whole incident was a little hard to grasp but she was glad everyone was okay in the end and that the Auror business had been taken care of. Right after Nicolette delivered the news she stopped when she saw and heard someone else speak, her golden eyes drifted off to someone before they narrowed.

"Kalif who is this?" She asked, a little on edge and a bit annoyed that he had called her 'big'. The man seemed very familiar though and as odd as it sounded she felt a soft chill take over her when she looked at him. If it wasn't obvious that Nicolette had changed now then she wasn't sure what would have proven it, her look was not very friendly but that was because she was a little creeped out and a little too tired and pregnant to really deal with the man.

 

[Kalif Styx]

Kalif retorted after nodding about him killing James, "She isn't nice, but Nicolas, I can be a hell of a lot meaner." The look in his eyes proved it. Kalif turned his attention to Nicolette, and he placed a hand on her shoulder, but the gesture itself told her to remain calm. He stated, without hiding anything, "That would be Nicolas Hensel. Professor of Potions at Hogwarts, and you better stay calm because I don't want anything to happen to Bothizar that could be prevented." Kalif's glare shifted over to Nicolas, and he narrowed his eyes. "Same goes for you, only I won't hold back either." What Kalif wanted was a pleasant conversation, but he doubted that it would happen. Knowing his luck, he would have to shut them both up.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

When Kalif placed a hand on her shoulder, Nicolette stared up at him and listened in carefully because he seemed to know exactly who this guy was. But what he had told her made absolutely no sense, he was a Potions Professor at Hogwarts and that was about the only part that she understood at all because everything else just went over her head as if it were nothing but air or something. 'Stay calm?' She asked herself as she raise an eyebrow at her husband, but then the name he had called the Professor by finally sunk into her head and her face changed from confusion to one of pure shock and bewilderment, he had the same exact name as her only Brother Her head turned to look at the man who was standing there as she took in his appearance carefully, he looked just like her father had before he was killed by James and that struck Nicolette badly. Her brother was killed a long time ago she was sure of it, soon she became unaware of Kalif's hand being on her shoulder and the fact that he was even here as all the calmness she even had to begin with became to seep away out of her. "I seriously hope your not trying to imply that your my brother. Nicolas Hensel was killed when I was nineteen, I saw it with my own eyes." Nicolette muttered, sounding still very calm but her tone had no lightness to it or the bubblyness she used to have, her golden eyes narrowed at the man as she took a step away from him to make distance between them, she would have punched him in the gut right there for even suggesting something so silly but Kalif was right and she needed to think about her baby over her own feelings at the moment, Nicolette knew her limits and she wasn't about to go about breaking them just yet.

"Go away." She stated coldly for moment as she stepped away even more then walked around the man that claimed to be her brother, there was no just no possible way that this was him. Right now she planned to go check on Damianos before she probably headed off to take a nap or something, she felt really tired right now and this guy certainly wasn't helping her feel any better than she was already.

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

Nicolas heeded Kalif's threat and forced himself to let out a breath and calm down, but Nicolette seemed to do the complete opposite as her mouth dropped and she suddenly took on a look that he almost found quite funny. But then she decided to speak to him in that rude little tone of hers, actually it was fairly cold but he mistook it for her being snotty like she used to do when they were just little kids and she was upset. "No, what you saw was me being taken up to be killed, you decided to run off before you saw what happened." He called out after her, he sounded just plain agitated now because she obviously didn't remember anything about the last time they had seen each other. Nicolas' golden eyes glanced at his sister's husband for a moment, he had to make sure that he was careful of what he said or his actions because of this man and his threats. Then she actually had the bravery to tell him to go away then walk off on him, and of course his hotheaded temper got the best of him and he had to say something. "Don't you dare walk away from me, Nicolette. I'm not finished talking to you yet." His voice was rude and sharp but not loud enough to where it could be considered shouting. He noted that she stopped walking and turned her head to look at him, really if that dude wasn't here and she wasn't pregnant right now he would love to take a swing at her or something just because of all the problems she had caused for him. That and her attitude, screw the Dark Arts if it meant hurting people just because she was a vengeful b*th and had to follow his his mother and father's footsteps. His sister was an actual criminal and she waltzed around as if she had the right to be alive, she was worse than James.

"If I wasn't your brother than how would I know your favorite colors are purple and gold? And that when you were eight you used to beat up the neighbor kid because he was a muggle? Oh and don't think I forgot that you were the one who taught me all about potions." He stated a few facts that he knew that had always stood out in his mind, especially since she probably didn't even remember half of this stuff herself, his voice was still rude sounding and he was trying his best to try and avoid hurting her with all the anger he was feeling towards her right now. She looked so much like their mother did when she was younger, although she had less of an innocent look to her and actually seemed to hold a look of darkness to her. 'Niccy, what happened to you?' He couldn't help but think to himself as he looked at her carefully, his eyes falling onto her pregnant stomach that seemed fairly small so he couldn't tell how far she was along but assumed she was fairly far if she could go into early labor. "Point is, I'm very much alive baby sister. And I came here because I have a bone to pick with you, whether you like it or not. For starters I should probably begin with, why the hell did you go off and murder Alexander Moon? Do you know how much trouble the family got in for that?! " When James had heard of his brother's dead he immediately pointed a finger at the Hensel's and Nicolette's head was at the very top of his hate list. It was because of his sister that his wife was killed, well thats who James blamed it on anyways.

 

[Kalif Styx]

Kalif narrowed his eyes at Nicolas' accusations. Immediately, he stepped in, to correct the lies and the assumptions, "First off, Nicolette didn't kill Alexander Moon. She was at my brother's wedding with me at the day of the death. How would I know that? Hades went out to speak to him, after Alexander rubbed his nose into the wrong business and got himself killed. Hades was too late to save him. If you don't believe me, you can talk to Hades yourself." Kalif thought that the whole James ordeal was rather pathetic. A mudblood controlling a family like the Hensel's was just downright stupid and proved just how weak they were. "As for the whole James thing, I hope you know just how pathetic that makes the lot of you. A single mudblood creating fear and such inside of all of you, that is just pathetic on a whole new level." Kalif looked over at Nicolette and he muttered, "You have my views on that now, but you are stronger now that you have been around my family. You won't let anyone control you like that again." At least she was being mature. Kalif turned his head at Nicolas and he stated, "If you are done acting like a first year, then leave. But if you want to make a fool of yourself and use Nicolette as a scapegoat for your own problems, you are just making a bigger idiot out of yourself, then by all means."

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette stopped once again and turned her head to look at the man who claimed to be her brother, especially after he threatened her and claimed he wasn't finished talking to her yet. He claimed that she hadn't stayed long enough to see him actually be killed and that was semi-true, she didn't run off but instead was pulled away by James himself because he had some 'business to attend to' when really all he wanted to do was make her suffer. Proof after proof though it became obvious that he really was who he said he was, because half of this stuff she knew that no one but him would know since he was the only person who really spoke to her as a child. But instead of being happy that her brother was alive and she wasn't alone anymore, she was instead angry and more hurt then ever because she finally understood that most of her life was a joke...until she met Kalif and the Zhefarovich's at least. "So, you lied to me for thirty-four years? How honorable of you all. And you call yourselves my family, get away from me Nicolas." Nicolette stated, her voice was loosing it's calm and was replaced with a more quiet but stressed filled one because he was actually starting to get her worked up with all the things he was saying to her. Especially when once again she was blamed for Alexander Moon's death once again, seriously how were they getting that she was the one that killed him since she had absolutely no motive. What Kalif and Hades' motive was she also did not know, was it really just because they didn't like him or because he tried to claim the babies for his own greedy needs? "I don't want to talk to you though." Nicolette said once again trying to have it get into his head that she didn't want to talk to him, she just wanted him to go away so she could lay down and relax, maybe she'd even read to Kailie some or something, this was her family now and she wasn't going to let them go.

Her gaze landed softly on Kalif before she nodded at him, he had pretty much complimented her there and it made her feel proud that she was becoming stronger. The longer she spent with the Zhefarovich's the colder and less bubbly she became towards the world. "He's right Nicolas. I'm tired of being nice and pleasant to everyone when really, I'm not that nice or forgiving to anyone. I could easily kill you or bring you harm but for my baby's sake and because Kalif told me not to...I won't. I refuse to fight with you or listen to the crap that is coming from your mouth, it's not my fault that you stayed and I left. You have no one to blame but yourself, now go away. Nicolette stated with the a tone that exuded that she was very tired and very weak which the stress was just making worse and just all around not willing to deal with Nicolas today. Once again she slowly turned to leave and head out of this hallway and away from Nicolas but his words once again stopped her in her tracks.

 

[Nicolas Hensel]

Nicolas looked at Kalif curiously, he was having the hardest time believing that it wasn't Nicolette but instead it was someone else that had managed to kill him before Hades could get to him. He didn't voice his disbelief in the man though because frankly Nicolas was a little afraid of Kalif right about now, especially as the man seemed to get angrier and angrier at him. "Rumor was that he cared about you and you turned your back on him, Nicolette." Nicolas didn't believe this either though because it seemed that she was with this man that she was with now for some time and probably was never involved with anyone else because his sister usually was extremely loyal to the people she cared about. However Nicolas couldn't say much about how pathetic it was that the family was afraid of James, even he had to agree on that one but it was a little ridiculous but at the time when he started to kill them off they had nothing else to do but to be afraid. "Do remember Kalif, that he installed fear in Nicolette too, she was his little puppet and for that she should be dead." Nicolas stated to the man before he rolled his golden eyes and looked back to his sister with hate filling his eyes. Something in him wanted to love his sister, comfort her and tell her that everything was going to be okay. But then he remembered how he lost his wife, a child, his siblings and his whole life when James became angered with her for leaving. Suddenly he was once again filled with enough rage to want to cause harm to her again, but his restraint overpowered it once he was reminded once again of Kalif's obvious threats against him.

"Yes I lied, and pretended I was dead but that was to keep James away from me. But your going to talk to me about this Niccy, explain to me why you ran away, what happened to you, why did you change, and why have you been killing people?!" Nicolas asked as he stepped closer to her, anger flashed in his eyes as he thought about all the misery he had gone through when she left and James got angry at him and blamed him, what the older man seemed to forget was how his younger sister had offered him the chance to leave with her, but he was too chicken to take it. And right now she was trying to walk away and not face him or anything, Nicolas didn't find her being pregnant as an excuse to leave in the middle of the conversation. From the way she was looking right now it would almost look like Nicolette was broken down or angry or something, but Nicolas didn't buy it.

He turned to Kalif and replied harshly; "She's just a baby. She will always be the baby of the family to me. Nicolette doesn't belong with you people at all I can't even recognize her anymore. And until she explains to me what I want to hear I will not leave her her alone." He stated firmly, he was going to get answers from her whether she wanted to give them or not. He wanted to know why she had decided to leave and get them all into trouble, why she let this family she was with change her, why had she killed those people, and why was she here with these people right now. By this point Nicolas had reached into his jacket and retrieved his wand but merely held it at his side almost as a warning to her.

 

[Kailie Styx]

Kailie peeked around Kalif's leg, and boy did she not like this man insulting her mommy like that! Kailie stomped in front of him, poked him roughly in the thigh, and she huffed, "My mommy is the bestest person in the world! A lowlife like you could never understand! She belongs here wiff me! She is a good person, and don't you forget it!" Kailie crossed her arms and she glared harshly as a seven-year-old could. She didn't like this man, not at all. "You sound like a big baby, mister!" Kailie went to Nicolette, and hugged her mommy and her huge tummy. She snuggled next to her, truly a cute sight.
