Chapter 4: Brother Trouble
Amity Park, Ohio
The Next day…
Lily sighed as she glanced at Daphne, "So, about this guy you want to go to the dance with…"
"We aren't discussing Cody," Daphne blushed.
"We have a name now," Lily teased her baby sister.
"Ugh," Stephen complained as he entered the hospital room.
"Thank you," Levi added as he rubbed his head and leaned back on his hospital bed, "Girl emotions suck."
Stephen smirked, "But seriously Lily gets telekinesis, Luke can summon flames, but you get empathy?"
Levi groaned as his siblings laughed. He appreciated his big family but not right now.
Lily and Luke had arrived back home late last night, Nathan and Vanessa had stayed behind at their request. Which sucked since Levi on top of having no idea what happened, since that witch had screwed with his memories, had to deal with the disappointment he felt from his family. Mainly Luke's.
Lily on the other hand was being supportive, probably because of her being tricked by Vlad and Nathaniel in the other reality.
"Sissy power," Luke commented as he entered with Danny and Sam following.
"Luke," Danny warned as he walked over to his middle son, "Feeling better?"
"I'll feel way better once Grandpas and Grams finish that blocker," Levi commented glancing at Lily, "Will you stop thinking about Nathan!"
Lily blushed and Daphne pocked her teasingly.
"That would be faster if you could remember anything about that witch," Luke reminded earning a glare from Lily.
"I don't even remember Lily leaving for college!" Levi explained.
"Well, that was the day you and me meet Kara Roth," Daphne added earning looks from everyone, "That was what the witch said her name was."
"Kara," Levi tested the name.
Luke looked disgusted as he left the room, "I'm going to go get some lunch."
"Me too!"
"Better than sitting here."
"I need a bite of something."
Luke groaned as he remembered he had three other siblings.
…
Luke sighed as he paid for Stephen and Daphne and watched as they sat down. Luke felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to meet Lily's neon green eyes.
"What's wrong Luke?" Lily demanded.
Luke sighed long ago not to argue with his older sister, "I'm…..I'm anger. At you, at dad, at Levi. I can't explain it Lily."
Lily looked worried at this, "Maybe you just need a break."
"That's why I moved to New York," Luke explained, "but if Levi keeps making me come back every week I think I'll get worst."
Lily nodded at this, "Don't worry. Levi will mature and Stephen mentioned stepping up too."
Luke gave Lily a look, "Lil, I don't want to put either Steph or Daph in a situation that they feel they can't call on me, you, or Lee.
The ghost boy and girl both rubbed their necks, "We're in a pickle."
….
De Ville, Alabama
Nathan rubbed his eyes as he closed his biology book and tossed his book onto the coffee table earning a look from his roommate Rodney Jalil, a Middle Eastern looking boy.
"You miss your girl don't you?" Rodney teased as he flopped down next to him.
"More like I'm worried I think," Nathan explained, "Levi is my friend too."
Rodney shrugged, "Wait, your girlfriend's brother is your friend?"
"Yep. Her other brothers, Luke and Stephen, don't like me though," Nathan replied as he got up to grab a drink from the fridge and paused, "Then again neither does her dad."
As he closed the fridge and stared at the note on it from Rodney and Nathan's roommate Griffin Mann that said something about soup in the fridge.
"Have you ever see Griffin?" Nathan asked annoyed plopping back down on the couch.
"I'm half convinced he's just another one of the ghosts on campus," Rodney joked.
Nathan spat out his drink in surprise as Rodney said that, "Ghosts?!"
Rodney gave Nathan a weird look at this, "Um, yeah. Ghosts, like five or six I think. Not that I'm worried that much. Didn't you know that?"
"No," Nathan replied shocked.
"De Ville is one of the most haunted places in Alabama," Rodney added enjoying this, "How did you not?"
Nathan groaned as he realized that Lily got back he was chewing her out, "Ghost free my ass."
