I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

Tears ran down Repsaj's face as he sat on King Kooh's bed. *I won't view my empty bed now.* He sobbed for a few minutes. *My sick wife died two days ago. King Kooh wasn't able to comfort me.* He heard footsteps in the chamber.

King Kooh approached Repsaj. He saw worry in the latter's eye. His expression was one of concern. ''Are you always worried due to your empty bed?'' King Kooh viewed Repsaj nodding at a snail's pace. ''I recall you standing near your wife during her final moments alive.''

King Kooh's eyes became wide after Repsaj sobbed again. He stepped back. King Kooh touched the latter's shoulder. ''I'm here for you.''

''Perhaps I'll protect you from enemies after a few days.''

A frown formed on King Kooh's face. ''Brother, you'll fall apart during a battle.''

''I remember seeing you near Ailicec prior to her life ending. You cherished her?'' Repsaj frowned as King Kooh's eyes widened again. He viewed him blushing.

King Kooh abandoned Repsaj.

After frowning again, Repsaj heard other footsteps. ''Brother?'' He gasped the minute Ailicec's spirit materialized near the bed. ''Why are you haunting me, Ailicec?'' He viewed her smile. His eye widened after she kissed him on the lips.

Repsaj smiled. *My brother wasn't able to comfort me. My wife was able to comfort me.* He viewed Ailicec vanishing.

*Ailicec always worried about me as I protected King Kooh from enemies* Repsaj thought. New tears ran down his face. *I'll always worry about suffering without Ailicec.* He sobbed uncontrollably as he endured solitude in darkness.

The End
