I Am Wanted

My brothers are scary beings. They are hollow and dark, and they are always looking at you in a way that is just uncomfortable. They all look the same at first glance, but if you know them as long as I do (very long) you can see differences. A shade lighter hair, a little bit scarier. One of them is very different though, because he always used to smile at me. Today he doesn't.
For a very long time they have been my only family, but not anymore.
I haven't seen them in a while. I'm supposed to deliver souls to them, but I guess the souls wouldn't just run away.
So when they are suddenly standing in Jamies kitchen, I probably shouldn't be surprised that they came looking for me.
What I didn't expect though was, that they would actually talk to me.
They've never talked to me before.
'You are not doing what you should do', one of my three brothers, the scariest, says and I flinch at the sound of his cold voice. He sounds like he hadn't spoken in a long time, and that is most definitely the case.
'You are breaking your oath', adds another one and I frown.
'What oath?', I ask, but before I even realized what is happening, my nicest brother (the one who used to smile at me) gribs my arm and pulls me into the darkness that has once been my home.
