William sniffled a few times before responding weakly, “You can.” William needed sleep, something just to quiet the whispers. He wrapped his arms around himself and sniffled some more.

Bahari looked at him for a few seconds. "Okay." She climbed out the hatch with one last look at William, and down the net.

(Tru tru)
Once everyone was gone, Lucas gathered up the boxes and put the arrowhead inside of its respective box. Where should I keep them? Simone found it really easily… After a while of thinking, he found a loose board beneath the apple barrel and tucked the boxes in the space beneath it. Once he had done this, he carefully pushed the board back into place so it looked normal.

Bahari found Lucas wandering out of the food hold. "Hide them well? Simone found them quite well before." She smiled.

Lucas nodded. "She won't find them so quickly this time. How's William? He seemed upset… does he need a hug?"

Bahari smiled. "Maybe when he comes back down. For now, he's resting. Don't worry, the spirits like us now. And they'll like us even more when we get to their island." She assured the young boy. "I won't ask where the boxes are." She told him with a wink.

"Okay." He was quiet for a moment. "If I can't hug Will, can I hug you? I just feel like hugging someone…" Also, we're going to an island?? I don't remember hearing that… Lucas thought silently.

"Of course." Bahari spread her arms for the young boy. "This must be a very different life from back on the island royale."

Lucas hugged Bahari, leaning against her. "Yeah… I do miss my family sometimes, but I know I can't go back now…" And half of my family's dead anyways, and the other forgot about me, so what would I really be going back to?

"I understand they didn't treat you very well." Seeing Lucas' surprised expression, Bahari smiled. "News travels fast when it comes to my grandma. But trust me, that won't be the case here." She hugged him tight.

Lucas quickly brushed tears from his eyes so that Bahari wouldn't see them. "I miss Claus… it feels like I lost my second half, and… and I'm not really complete anymore. A-And when dad even acknowledged me, he would call me Claus. I think he forgot that I even exist…"
(Claus was Lucas's twin brother btw. They looked almost exactly alike, except Claus's hair was more ginger than blond)

Bahari hugged him tight. "It's alright, get those tears out. No one's going to forget you here."

William curled up in the corner of the crow’s nest.
William… you know the cost…
William… you used to much trying to sway us back to your side…
You know we only agreed to helping your crew because we adore you, sweet. But we also want to extend your life on this earth, hon…
“I’ll turn into a monster,” William whispered fearfully, clutching his with his hands, making his gold jewelry clink. He threw it off into a pile. There was already too much noise. He just wanted sleep.
Instead, a shadowy translucent figure, one that he could only see because of his eye, approached him. A hand, at least what looked like one, brushed William’s chin up. William looked at its head with fearful eyes.
It is the price to pay for what you asked of us. Your crew thinks we are all some fairy tale, so we do not help them. But since you, foolish child, BENT us to lend your crew our power for THEIR sake, you pay the price. Us spirits do not bend without a price, William. Since you tried to CONTROL us, I do not care if you turn into a monster or not.
William whimpered and tucked his head back between his arms and cried. We all would have died anyways without the spirits’ help. If I didn’t try to control the spirits, they all would have died. If it means I’ll turn into a monster because they will live, then it was worth it. William lied to himself. It was hard, because William’s greatest fear was to watch himself turn into a crazed demon, turn into something that would kill everything around it.

Lucas was hesitant at first, but soon enough, tears were rolling down his pale cheeks. He wanted more than anything just to have a normal, complete family again, but that had been taken from him at such an early age. He knew the experience would probably stay with him forever, and he would never forget the blood on his mother's face and Claus's. Claus's face… so similar to his own. Lucas had been unable to do anything for weeks after, just in a state of disbelief, shock, and grief.

Ailith let out a breath. "William?" She asked, softly knocking. "Are you alright? You didn't say that would happen to you when you spoke to the spirits."

“N-No,” William sobbed from the corner. He didn’t want to listen to the spirits, they wouldn’t let him sleep and they wouldn’t stop talking… William glanced at the hatch through teary eyes, wishing he would stop crying but reality was too harsh, too emotionally painful to bear.

(no actually sorry, but Bahari is the only one who can talk freely with Wiliam about the spirits)

(Wait, why? I'm not trying to sound rude, I actually just want to know)

(no actually sorry, but Bahari is the only one who can talk freely with Wiliam about the spirits)

(?)

"This is your family now." Bahari whispers to Lucas.
