Chapter 5

Lukas pulled his hood tighter over his head as he walked up to the old ferry, glaring at the vessel through the fog. He had heard from his brother, Magnus, how Arthur had been snooping around asking about his brother Emil, which caused him to decided to visit and see what was happening. It was night now, and like he assumed the harbor was more or less deserted; which worked out well enough for when looking for someone like Emil. Soon the fog began to clear slightly, followed by a voice from behind him asking, "Lukas, is that really you? It's been forever since you came by."

Lukas turned around to find a teenage-aged, white figure smiling slightly at him. He seemed so lifelike, that it only made sense for people to mistake him as still living.

"So what are you doing here?" the teen, Emil asked.

Lukas gave him a rare smile and said, "I came to see how you're doing. What have you been doing?"

"Hanging around mostly…I did make some new friends since you last came by," Emil answered, thinking over all that had happened since the last time Lukas came to visit, "But I still can't wait until you're able to bring me home with you."

"Right…I'm sorry it's been so long for you to wait. Just know that I am still trying, so wait patiently a little longer," Lukas replied, causing the teen ghost to frown.

"But I'm tired of waiting! I want to finally leave the harbor and see the city up close. I hate being stuck like this, if it wasn't for my friend coming to see me I'd go crazy!" Emil complained.

"Who're these friends you keep talking about?" Lukas asked.

"Just people. I meet them when they come to the city from the ferry, then I make sure that they keep visiting me. But none yet have been able to stay with me longer than a night's time, and after I try to have them they always get taken away for good. Oh! But this new friend of mine might be able to stay with me! She seems different from the others," Emile answered, the face he gave looking like he should start blushing at any moment.

"Emil…did you try to have them stay with you by drowning them?" Lukas asked straight.

"What are you getting at?" Emil asked, looking at his brother crossly, "It's not my fault any of this is happening."

"Emil, in the beginning I asked you to behave yourself and stay hidden. Now that you haven't there's a wizard out looking for ways to probably get rid of you," Lukas explained, angering his brother with each word.

"But you always told me before that I needed to meet new people and stuff. I'm just doing what you told me! And so what if there's some wizard out there, I've seen him and he doesn't look like that big a deal," Emil complained.

"You're not thinking clearly-," Lukas began.

"You look. I'm happy you decided to visit and all, but next time come here tell me that you found away to fix this," Emil snapped, only to then disappear in a poof of fog.

Lukas sighed disappointingly. He only wished that he could fix what happened, but he could not bring back the dead to flesh and bone. It took everything he had to hold him there as a ghost. And now his ghost brother was starting to turn from his loveable brother to something which would need to be pacified soon, but doing so now may destroy Emil. Lukas readily took the blame for what had happened to his brother, he was the one who sent for Emil to come by ferry on the day after all, and it hurt him to see how everything he had tried to fix the situation was blowing up in his face. But he was not going to let Arthur try to fix his mess and hurt his brother. Lukas thought about all of this as he walked back from the harbor and to the bar, not even stopping to say hello to Magnus or the other guests who he knew, only to then lock himself in a study he kept upstairs to look for something, anything which he could use for help.

A phantom watched as Lukas left the harbor and as Emil left to brood on the ferry. He smiled as he watched Emil, thinking that things currently will be a lot more awesome.

Kind of short :P
