Chapter 4: Information

"Wait." Five calls but decided to better follow the only (living) brother he has. Ben is right beside him walking like he is still alive, it was strange to watch. "Ben what is wrong with him?"

Ben sighs (even ghost can do that). "It´s kind of a side effect I would call it. He isn't really insane but with every death he loses a piece of himself, his soul. I don´t know. It took me a few deaths to notice the change. Bevor you ask, he is still Klaus but there are pieces missing. One is the addiction. Believe me I am very grateful for that but it's not only the drugs he had caving for. No, most times I have to force him to eat or drink anything. To sleep or you know basic human needs. He just ignores it. That he runs off to find something to eat, it´s more for you than for him." Ben looks down at Five to see if his words made any sense. Since they had find out Klaus can´t die his live (or better hid death) had become very difficult. Now he not only has a suicidal brother, he has one that can jump from bridges, drown himself, cut his arms open and overdoses on drugs without consequences. Klaus comes back depressed and hurt by not being able to die. Yes, the last death hadn't been intended it didn't mean that Klaus cares about it.

Over the years Ben had often ask Klaus in his more awake moments, why he did drugs, at least while he was still alive. As soon as Ben was one of the ghosts haunting him he didn't need to ask WHY, he would ask how he was still sane enough to decide, to feel, to do anything and not roll up in a ball on the ground in a catatonic state.

After the caving for drugs got taken away by one of his deaths (ironically not one of the OD´s), Klaus learned to control his powers and discovers he can do many things. Like making Ben visible and corporal, he could order whole army´s if he wants to, create ghost free zones and of course his favourite, send them over into the afterlife.

"Ok, let´s ignore Klaus and his immortality for a second but I still want to know more about that and the drugs, how bad it was. But what did he mean with Vanya and the moon?" Ben points at the sky and through the clouds and ash-rain he sees the remaining of what had once been the moon. Floating rocks in the sky where looking down on them.
