A/N: OK, 3rd chapter! I'm going to update even if no one reads or reviews it, but if you're reading, please review! Also, thank you to people who have been reviewing, I will definitely keep writing.

Disclaimer: None of the stuff you recognize is mine (that goes for the last few chapters as well!)

"Anamika? Kishan?" Ren's voice resonated through the room.

Anik's face was a mask of pure shock, "Kishan?! My uncle!?"

Kishan's golden eyes danced. "That would be me."

Anik rounded on his parents, "You told me he was dead!" Anik was obviously quivering with barely suppressed rage. I decided it was time to intervene.

"Anik," I said, placing a hand on his arm, "Your parents' story isn't an easy on to tell. Try giving them a chance to explain."

Anik unclenched his muscles and collapsed into the nearest chair.

Ren, Kelsey, Kishan, and Anamika exchanged glances that confused me until I remembered certain places in the book where Kelsey would calm Ren or Kishan down with a hand on their arm.

"Geez!" I blushed, "Is it not possible that words can calm people down?"

Everyone laughed while Anik looked on confusedly and my face turned redder and redder.
"If we're all done jumping to conclusions. Maybe we should tell Anik what's going on."

"Could we explain it by reading those books?" Ren asked innocently.

"No!" Kelsey glared at him.

Anamika sighed, "As simple as it would be to read it we don't have enough time."

I nodded. "I could give a short summary, but we're going to need proof."

Kishan nodded, "I can still change, Mika and I have the fruit, scarf, necklace, and rope. We have the Damon amulet and if I temporarily give up my ability to change into one of my incarnations, Ren can change without having to break the curse all over again or needing to use the scarf." Kishan said and pulled a small disc out of his pocket, "Oh! Kelsey, here's the Damon Amulet, you'll probably get the most use out of it."

Kelsey grinned, "Useful."

Kishan snapped and gestured towards Ren.

Ren groaned, "The tiger's back. I can feel him."

I nodded, "Well, it looks like I can explain. Here goes nothing," I took a deep breath and began, "Kelsey got a two-week job at a circus. While she was there she developed a bond with a white tiger called Dhiren. One day, a man called Mr. Kadam came and purchased the tiger. Kelsey agreed to accompany the tiger to a reserve in India."

Kelsey sighed, "I still can't decide if that was the best or worst decision of my life."

I grinned and continued, "While in India, the tiger got loose and ran into the jungle. Kelsey followed him and had to wander around the jungle with a tiger for a few days. Eventually, the tiger led her to a hut where she turned around to find a man and the tiger nowhere in sight. The man said to calm down, that he was Ren, the tiger and showed the rope Kelsey had leashed the Tiger with as proof."

"Wait just a minute!" Anik yelled, "The tiger turned into my dad."

I nodded.

"The man right here? At this table?!", Anik's voice rose with every word he spoke.

I nodded once again and turned to Ren, "You probably want to show him," I murmured.

He sighed, morphed into the white tiger, ambled over to where Kelsey was sitting and put his head on her lap. She grinned and began to stroke his fur.

Anik looked shell-shocked and was having difficulty speaking, "But, you, Dad, never, wha-?!" He took a deep breath and yelled, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

I sighed, "Remember when I said you were in for the shock of your life?"

Anik nodded, "You were right. I don't know-" He trailed off as he saw me shaking my head.

I looked at him and said, "You think this is shocking? You ain't seen nothing yet." Anik looked surprised and more than a bit scared.

"Anik," I said, "your father is a 300 year old Indian prince."

Anik froze and stared at me then looked at each of us in turn, finally, his gaze turned to his mom and dad, "Is this true?"

Kelsey sighed, "Oh Anik, we wanted to tell you, but how do you explain something like this? Especially without proof." Anik seemed very confused about this, "But you have proof," He gestured to Ren the white tiger.

I shook my head. "They didn't have proof. Kishan also has the ability to change into a tiger, a black one not a white one, and due to, certain circumstances, he also has the ability to change into other forms. Kishan gave up his ability to change into one of his forms in order to give Ren back the ability to change into the tiger again." I turned to Kishan, "I must admit I'm curious as to which form you gave up and why, if my deductions are correct, you don't want to broadcast those reasons."

Kishan grimaced, "Whether or not your deductions of that are correct I can't say for sure, but you were right about me not wanting to broadcast them. However, I am curious to see if you are correct."

I nodded. I seemed to be nodding a lot lately. "Pull out the scarf." I mentally told the divine scarf to write out the message I wanted to send.

Ok, first, the reasoning behind my guess. You are married to Anamika who is also Durga. One of Durga's incarnations was Pavarti. Pavarti's husband was Shiva. That makes you Shiva. Now, Shiva was the one who cast Pavarti's necklace to the waves. Also the one who sent his servant to guard the necklace as a shark. Then, after you won her back. The other god (What was his name?) stole the necklace and changed into a shark that "guarded the necklace for all eternity" or at least until you three came and Ren and Kelsey killed it (trident darts and lightning/fire took down a megalodon, who would've guessed?). But, all this means that if you hadn't cast Anamika down to live among mortals in the first place, the shark wouldn't have been there to terrorize y'all (especially Kelsey) in the first place, thereby making you indirectly responsible for Kelsey almost losing her leg and almost dying, both of which would've happened if not for that milk. So, I'm guessing you chose to give up your form of Shiva because you didn't want to be reminded of the above information while you were here.

Kishan's jaw dropped and he turned to look at me, "That's exactly what I was thinking. How did you know-?" His voice trailed off and he looked at the message again, "Y'all?"

I grinned, "I knew because I realized the whole 'Hey! If this person is this person then that person is that person' bit when I was reading the books for the third or fourth time, and as for the 'y'all', I'm from Texas,"

Ren and Kishan both paled and Kelsey burst out laughing.

Anik, Anamika, and I stared, puzzled, from person to person until I started laughing as well, "I'm not gonna start talking like Wes! He didn't even talk like that! No one in Texas actually talks like that!"

Ren and Kishan looked at each other suspiciously and Kelsey was laughing so hard that she was crying.

Anamika turned to Kishan and said, "What exactly was in this note? Hmmm? Do tell,"

Kishan's face lost the color it had regained, "I'm fine with not telling, really, I am."

I grinned, "Really not something you need to worry about Anamika, now back to the story," I paused, "Unless someone else has something to add," When no one answered, I continued, "After Ren convinced Kelsey that he was indeed a tiger and a 300 year old prince under a curse, he asked her to help break the curse. When he had been captured, he had been unable to transform back into a man, until Kelsey came along. For some reason, after she looked in his eyes and said, 'I wish you were free,' he was able to change into a man, and contact Mr. Kadam who came to Oregon to purchase Ren's freedom, something he had also unable to do until then, which made him think Kelsey was the chosen one of Durga."

Kelsey interrupted, "How do you know that was the exact moment. I don't remember it being specified?"

I nodded, "It wasn't, but it seems to be the most likely candidate."

Anamika nodded, "Trust her judgement, little sister, she's right."

Kelsey scowled, "That nickname is getting a little bit old."

I smiled innocently, "But it's true!"

Kelsey's eyebrows raised, "What do you mean it's true?"

"Well," I started, "you are married to Ren, Anamika is married to Kishan, Ren and Kishan are brothers, which makes you sister-in-laws. Anamika is older than you, making you her younger sister."

Anamika grinned, "A valid point."

Kelsey threw her hands in the air, "Ok! We're keeping the nickname. Can we at least eat lunch?"

Kishan grinned, "As soon as everyone's here."

Ren frowned, "We didn't invite anyone. Did we?"

Anamika spoke tersely, "You didn't."

Kelsey stared from Anamika to Kishan, "Then who-"

She was interrupted a beautiful Asian woman with long black hair, an Asian man with the same eyes as Anamika, and a girl who looked to be about five years younger than Anik and I. She looked like her mom, but had her dad's easy smile. Anamika laughed and went to hug the man, "It's good to see you again!"

"I suppose you are the one who asked us to come here?" Sunil asked his sister.

A/N: As you can see, things are getting more complicated, it's a good thing Ren, Kelsey, and Anik have a big house!
