When the lunch bell rang Jaz was at the palace gates waiting for Runi's children. Finally Jaz saw three teenagers on white horses. The resemblance to Runihura and his wife Maatkara was unmistakeable. Jaz walked up to the children. "Hi I'm your aunt Jaz. How was your journey?" Jaz asked trying to start a conversation.
"You're not our aunt- we don't even know you. You look like a stable hand, now tell us where our aunt is before I get angry and blow you up." The boy said he looked about seventeen.
"But I am your aunt and the reason I look like this is because I work for a living." Jaz said starting to get angry.
"No you're not our aunt because you are too common. There is no way that you are of the noble house of Sobek." The oldest girl sneered.
That was when Jaz lost it. She reached deep inside of herself and called on her magic. Jaz shook the earth and caused the horses to throw their riders. Jaz then threw her 'family' into the sky, they where screaming by this time, she made them spin until they felt sick and then she slowly let them land on the ground.
The youngest girl started crying "I'm telling daddy and he is going to whip you for that. He is goanna banish you for an eternity. You are going to be so sorry." She screamed.
All of the pages came running to see what caused the earth tremor.
"Jaz, love what are you doing? When I said that I would take your classes today you promised that you wouldn't cause any trouble." Liam said when he arrived panting at Jaz's side.
Jaz then burst out sobbing. "I'm sorry Liam I guess I lost my temper. These little brats accused me of lying to them about my identity. They said that I'm not Jaz." She cried between her sobs.
"Well you aren't" the boy said.
"And who pray tell are you?" Liam inquired of the youngsters.
"We are the only children of the house of…" the boy said before Jaz pointed at him and he started coughing.
"You will not mention our house. If you do I will kill you. I have managed to live without that lot for the past five years, I don't want people to know what house I come from." Jaz said suddenly not crying anymore.
"As if you would kill us we are the heirs." The oldest girl said to Jaz.
"Ah my dear I do believe that you have conveniently forgotten that the youngest daughter always inherits all land, which is her birthright for being the youngest." Jaz said with venom dripping from her voice. "And if you are disrespectful to me again I will contact your father." Jaz finished.
All the pages looked at Jaz in shock stunned by the hatred in her voice. They all knew now what she wanted to keep secret, her heritage and her family.
Jaz decided that she needed to talk to Runi about his children. She turned to the children and said to them "Come we are going to talk to your father and then we will see how he reacts to your rudeness to me." Jaz walked away and the children stood there and stared at her back .
"come on" Jaz said. The children just stood there so her power seached back and grabbed them and pulled them after her.
The pages and Liam where left there shocked with their mouths hanging open.
Later in Jaz's room:
Jaz clicked her fingers twice and a ball of purple light appeared in front of her. The children where sitting on a couch as silent as they had been the whole afternoon. Not a sound escaped their lips. Jaz looked into the ball and asked "Runi are you there?"
A reply came from the ball "Yes sis, I'm here what's wrong? Are my kids safe?"
"Oh yes brother, your children are here. They are being rude little brats they won't even tell me their names. First they insulted me and then they nearly told everyone where I come from. You know that I'm trying to keep my heritage a secret. I believed that you of all people would raise better behaved children." Jaz told Runi.
"CHILDREN COME HERE NOW! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" Runi shouted at his children from the ball.
"Aaron, I expected better from you. You have been on many diplomatic missions and everyone comments on how well behaved you always are so why are you being rude to your aunt and my favourite sister?" Runi asked his son.
"I'm sorry father I don't know what came over me." Aaron replied.
"And Jade, pray tell me what is your excuse." Runi asked his oldest daughter.
"I don't know father, I'm sorry." Jade answered meekly.
"It's not me you have to apologise to. It's your aunt you should be apologising to." Runi said.
"And let me guess, Krystal. You lost your mind as well for a short time and that is why you acted against all of your lessons as a lady?" Runi said to Krystal his youngest.
"Sis, I'm sorry for my children's behaviour. I promise that they won't do it again. If you have any more problems with them though just give me a buzz. Ok sis, I love you a lot, bye." With that the ball of purple disappeared.
The children looked at Jaz in shock.
"We're sorry" they whispered in unison.
"It's ok. I'm sorry I scared you but I'm very sensitive about mentioning what family I stem from. I've been hunted because of that name and I still have nightmares about………the past. I don't know what Runi has told you about what our childhood was like but despite our family we had a rough childhood. Oh well let's all just go to bed and I'll see you guys tomorrow morning." Jaz said to the children
