Dark 2

6 : The Dead Man's Library

All these things were flashing before my eyes, like a vision. I tried to re-create all these in my own image. I have a brother. I have an older brother. He saw dad being killed right before his eyes. He's been traumatized ever since. I was trying to get an image of what happened that day. Maybe if I try to read Abel's memories, I might get something. But trying to read a hybrid's mind is pretty hard.

"Alright Abel, do you know who this is?" I asked him, holding out a picture of mom and dad. I covered the side mom was standing on. Only dad's face was visible. He looked at it for a while, and then reacted in a rather unusual way. He got terrified, took the picture form my hand, and threw it away. I immediately grabbed him by his shoulder, and started into his hazel brown eyes. He just started back.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Shh." I said, trying to find a memory. "Abel, concentrate on that guy who was in the picture I showed you."

"I don't like him." He said, pushing me away.

I tried not to lose my focus. I did see a little memory of him standing out in a field, in black shorts and a blue t.shirt, in front of someone who was looking down at him. Just as I saw this, Abel pushed me down from the sofa, and down I fell, almost hitting my forehead on the floor.

"I told you it's a bad idea." Niall said. "Get up slowly."

"We need to find that ghost." I said, while Niall was helping me get up. "And I think I know a place."

"Where? That old witch's place?" Niall asked.

"No, a library." I said. "She died eighty years ago. There must be some written records of her death, won't there?"

"So, won't there be something about your dad too?" He asked.

"I don't know." I said. "There might be."

"Of course there will be. He's like famous, according to Lisa, right?" Niall said.

"Lisa, I like that name." Abel said.

"Oh is it?" I asked.

"Yea. I want to meet this Lisa." He said.

"I'll call her right away." Niall said. "They don't know about you yet, don't they?"

"Nope." I said. "I wanted to tell them last night itself, but, I didn't want anyone to wake up from their sleep with a heart attack."

"Yea guys, get over here like right now. There's someone here. An unexpected person." Niall said, as he was texting the same. "Done, they're on their way."

"Lisa's reaction is going to be priceless. She's the one who thought she knew everything about my family, but now, oh I really need to see her reaction." I said.

"Yea, she'd probably be like 'no, there must be a mistake. I've don't my Ph.d in the history of the Lucado family. This is impossible.' Oh gosh, I can't wait to see her reaction." Niall said. 

"Yea, me too." Abel said.

"You're...you're kidding right?" Lisa said, who was awestruck.

"No way." Harry said.

"God bless the Lucado genes." Liam said. "You both like exactly like your mom."

"How is it that your mom never told you about it?" Louis asked.

"Yea, shouldn't she have told it to you first, before anyone else?" Zayn asked.
