Chapter 2 - The start of a somebody's life

[Hey, there's light!]

A claustrophobic feeling overwhelmed Marcus for a few instants. He felt as if an unfathomable force was compressing him into a spec of dust the amount of pain he felt was diabolical, yet he endured it and refused to scream with all his might. But as suddenly, as it started it stopped and at that moment he could finally open his eyes again...

He started to make sense of his surroundings instantly, he was in a room made out of wood with some middle-aged women around him.

He felt... weird...

[OK! As per usual... Limb check! 1... 2.. 3... 4... 5... Wait... 1. 2. 3. 4. Where? WHERE IS 5?! Where's Lil Mark!]

[This... This can't be real...]

[Ok... I'm going to close my eyes and you better be there when I open them up again...]

One...

Two...

Thre- BAM

A man suddenly barged into the room.

[Who's this guy?]

[Dude! He's as tall as a mountain, that guy's huge!]

"HEUBI HEUBI HOAIH ubwuob UABS!!"

[I can't understand a single word that comes out of his mouth...]

...

"Od wdweino HEUBI , od rinm ver niom oid aren Janette. Frazan."

[Wait, I heard something, did he just call me Janette?]

[I... I am no longer a he? What the HELL!]

[Is my name Janette? Why not Marcuslina or something...]

[This is going to be a pain in the ass...]

[Stop touching me dude, not cool...]

Marcus or dare I say, Janette, started hitting the man's arms in an attempt to free herself although it was futile.

After a few seconds of endless attacks, the pats on the man's arms, those suddenly stopped...

Janette just fell asleep...

"We will give you a second Eric, we will be outside if you need us."

"Mm." Eric nodded.

"I told you so many times Jhoan, that we wouldn't be able to have kids. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity you have given me."

"It's awful, knowing that you will never be here to see Janette grow up and see how she will look just like you."

"You were always sickly, and Janette's birth wasn't supposed to happen so soon, I wish I could have been here with you. I will always love you, Jhoan."

A few minutes that seemed like centuries passed. A man came out of the room with a baby in his arms.

"Nana... I..." Words stuck to his throat Eric fell speechless every time he looked at Janette, she was the embodiment of Jhoan after all...

"It's ok my son, it's ok..." Nana said as she hugged her son tightly. She has never seen him with such a defeated expression before, but she knew well enough it won't be like that for too long...

"Leave her to me Eric, I will find a way how to feed her. Here..." Nana said while stretching her arms.

Although Eric didn't want to give in, he knew it was best, his pride wasn't going to take what was most precious to him away.

A few days passed and everything was going just fine, the only thing that was troubling both Eric and Nana was the fact that they couldn't make Janette utter a single sound. Her lips closed like a titanium door, to the point they where starting to worry if she was sick just like her mother used to be...

Meanwhile, someone was having a completely different problem...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two months later...

[Man this is some bull****. Bull****.]

[What am I going to do now? I lost my weewee! God why are you so cruel!!]

[I mean, I get exhausted almost instantly, hunger is a given, they have gotten me drinking some goat milk but it's almost directly out of the goat, it's even warm. Eugh...]

[But you know what... I'm alive, it's kind of worth it if I could control when I need to go to the bathroom that is...]

[Lately, I have been starting to understand a bit more what the other people here have been saying but it's still a little fussy.]

[I'm Janette... yes.. laugh if you want, go ahead, that guy over there is Eric, he looks like a guard of some sort, also I think he's my 'dad?'. Anyway, the older woman is my Nana, I don't know if that's her name since I have heard people call her differently but she's Eric's mother A.K.A Grandma so Nana it is... I guess.]

[This Baby body is such an inconvenience, I can barely move, I feel so weak it's almost laughable, and even if I somehow manage to move a bit they can just pick me up! Like. Dude. Chill! I just wanna get a glimpse of the outside there's no need to be such a party pooper... heh. pooper...]

[It is what it is I guess. I better start to adapt to this female body. Puberty is going to be so much fun...]

[Eric has been outside for a few hours already, I know he's just on the other side of this door because I can hear him but getting over there is such a pain in the joints, hands, knees elbows everything hurts against this hardwood floor...]

[He always keeps that sword by his side, even when he sleeps, my dad's a weirdo, but he seems like a good guy so I won't give him any trouble... Yet...]

[Where is the joy of being a kid if I'm not allowed to be a brat just because? I bet it will be fun]

*pock* *pock* *pock*

[Here he comes...]

"Hello, Janette did you miss me?"

"E-riic" Said Janette with a mischievous expression...

*Clack* Eric's sword just fell to the ground due to his shock

"Did... Did you just say... Eric?"
