'I hate little kids.' Arthur mumbled into the dusty floor, he struggled against the skipping rope that where tightly tied around him. One of the twins laughed at him from where he floated just above Arthur before he let himself drop onto his back. Arthur groaned when he landed and he turned his head to where Lewis was swinging the other brother with his hand, the boy on his back started bouncing on the spot and Arthur could do nothing more then to grit his teeth, close his eyes and bare it. The weight was suddenly lifted of his back and the kid cheered.
'You need to release Arthur from those bonds, he doesn't like it very much.' Lewis said calmly before placing the boy back down. The kid whined a bit before grabbing onto the rope and it untied its self from Arthur, he then flicked it to the side and floated up to hang off Lewis' other arm. Arthur stood himself up and then dusted himself off.
'Hey big brother.' One of the brothers said, this caused Lewis to blush. 'Can you show us your fire trick again.'
'Of course I can.' Lewis said before setting down the other brother and sitting down cross legged on to an old couch that was covered up, Arthur was surprised that he even fit. Lewis cupped his hands together and held it out as the twins floated right next to Lewis, Arthur stayed where he was in front of them. Lewis opened up his hand and little flames floated out, spreading out in the space around them. The kids watched in awe, even Arthur thought that Lewis' little trick did look stunning. It would look even better if it was dark, but Arthur was not about to go find the light switch. One of the twins how ever seemed to get the idea and he floated out of the room, both of the older men where confused in till the lights went out. Arthur yelped and jumped towards Lewis, not wanting to be to far from him. Once he got pasted the shock of the lights going out, he started to enjoy the little show of the pink flames dance around. The twins started to chase around the little flames.
'Do you think my sisters would enjoy this?' Lewis asked Arthur unexpectedly. Arthur froze as he always did, when they spoke about Lewis' family and that night. He struggled to take in air as he imagined the triplets running around and laughing, just as the twin where at the moment.
'I think that they would love it.' Arthur managed to say, smiling as one of the boys tried to catch a flame in its hand only for it to go out before he could touch it. Lewis smiled as they floated around.
'When do we start this, I mean it has to be the middle of the night by now.' Lewis asked.
'The two of them must still be trying to convince there sister to the plan.' Arthur said letting a flame land onto the open palm on his left arm. Lewis watched Arthur for a short while the boys floated around and played. There was the sound of small feet walking down the hall towards the room that they where in.
'Mystery?' Arthur asked looking towards the doorway, Mystery soon pocked his head in and then made his way to Arthur. Arthur knelled down to talk to him.
'I am going to guess that you are the ones that turned off the lights.' Mystery asked watching one of the flames go past before it went out.
'One of the twins, have you guys convinced there sister yet?' Arthur said. Mystery nodded his head.
'She is going to enter the room before Vivi uses the spell and then we hope for the best.' Mystery said, the lights above turned on and they where all shielding there eyes from the light, all except for the ghosts in the room. The boys groaned when the lights turned on and again when Lewis stopped the flow of the flames, he stood up and then the boy launched themselves at Lewis' arms.
'Hey boys.' Zoey's voice sung out. They all turned to see her and Vivi walking in, Zoey had left her eyes dark and the twin looked at her in confusion. 'There is something that you need to know.' She said sadly. Both of the boys floated towards her once they decided that she was indeed there sister. Zoey turned to Vivi as she brought her hands together to start chanting the spell, Zoey knelled in front of her brothers.
'Do you two know why you always feel hungry?' She asked and both of the boys shook there head. 'Well… we aren't aliv…' The words froze in her mouth and wasn't able to continue, she couldn't tell them them the truth.
'You three are not alive any more.' Mystery explain instead. 'You will feel hungry because your where hungry when you died.' The two boys glared at Mystery and then they turned back to there sister, who had started to cry. Her tears dispersed into the air, never to hit the ground.
'Is this true?' One of the twins asked, there sister nodded and then tried to smile.
'We are going to go to mother? She left far before us, I think that she is lonely.'
'Did mother die? When? How?' The other one asked.
'I don't know how she died, but I know that she will be missing us.' Zoey said and then she gasped when blackness replaced the white in her brother's eyes. Vivi saw this and put down her arms, she looked over at Lewis and Mystery. But she couldn't see Arthur with them, she turned her head just in time to see a flash of yellow leave the room. She took one last look at the twins and then exited the room, Arthur walked all the way back to the stairs before sitting himself down on the bottom step and then he buried his face into his hands. Even as she was walked up to him, she could see that he was shaking.
'Arthur?' Vivi asked softly once she was next to him and the blond froze up, Vivi sat down next to him. 'What's wrong, it worked out and they are going to move on.'
'What about Lewis?' Arthur asked with his voice shaking.
'What do you mean, what about Lewis?' Vivi asked, her voice shook at the end. She knew very well what Arthur was asked, but she didn't want to think about it.
'Is Lewis going to move on?' He asked, even if he didn't want an answer. Vivi though but she was soon shaking her head.
'No I don't think that he will, he wants to be around us. Why would he leave?' Vivi said.
'He stayed because he though that the demon still had my body, what now? He doesn't have a purpose, I know that I told him that I was fine with it but I don't.'
'You idiot.' Vivi sighed and Arthur snapped his gaze to Vivi. 'Did you listen to Mystery at all?' She asked.
'I did, but…' Arthur started before looking at the ground again. 'its just, is Lewis really staying here for us?'
'Yes I am.' Lewis said simply as he walked towards the two of them, with Mystery following behind.
'But we have always worked to get spirits to move on. You are going against what we have been doing for years.' Arthur said.
'Maybe I am, but I am still not leaving and I know that you don't want me to leave.' Lewis said once he was standing in front of Arthur. 'I think that it is a very good reason for me to stay, you don't need to worry about that. I know you already have worries, don't add me onto that list.' Lewis said, Arthur looked up to him and then nodded.
'So I guess that the three of them moved on.' Arthur asked one he stood up and started to make his way up the stairs.
'Yep. The boys where a little confused, but they managed it.' Lewis answered with a smile. The four of them made it to hallway and Vivi closed the hidden door behind them, they silently walked out of the house and Arthur groaned he saw the sun rise in the distance.
'We where down there all night playing with those kids.'
'Arthur you don't need to complain, you are not the only one who is had to stayed up.' Vivi growled at him.
'How about you two go to bed before you tear off each others head.' Lewis said calmly before he guided the two of them through the front yard and to the van. He opened the back and both of them didn't waste any time, Vivi curled up in some blankets and fell asleep. Arthur crawled over the seat and went to sleep the moment he could, even Mystery was out of it and he went to sleep. Lewis smiled as he watched the three of them sleeping, he then made his way over to Arthur picking up his blanket off the seat. Lewis noticed that his left arm was still attached, but Lewis didn't want to wake him up to take it off. Lewis was torn, he want Arthur to have some sort of sleep but he didn't want to wake him up. He remembered that Arthur had said that he got nightmares if he slept with it on, Lewis shook him awake before Arthur fall to far asleep. Arthur groaned before trying to roll over.
'Arthur your arm, you need to disconnect it.' Lewis insisted. Arthur's eyes snapped open and he sat up.
'Thanks.' Arthur managed as he disconnected it before he dropped it onto the seat at his feet, Lewis left him to go back to sleep and Lewis settled himself down to do his own version of sleep.
