"You give a dead man more attention than you do to me." Natalie's high-pitched screaming only irritated Ezra more as he made his way out to the house. "Who are you really married to here, Ezra?"
"Get out of the way, Natalie." He said sternly looking at the pink haired who stood crying in front of the door.
"Ezra- Honey, please-"
He roughly shoved her to the side and walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
It was not much of a walk to the cemetery. He definitely understood his father's obsession with graves now.
"You Idiot…." He whispered, looking down on the grave of his best friend, "I had another fight with Natalie."
He sighed, "It must be pretty peaceful up there."
"Wow, you can actually speak." The voice came from somewhere to his right.
"Luca- What is this?!" The raven's legs almost gave out under him as he saw a Ghostly figure floating In the air beside him.
"Is thisa prank?" His voice was cold as he glared at the thing in front of him.
"It wouldn't hurt you to not glare all the time." The ghost of Luca Rolets said, a wide grin on his face.
His grin fell as he regarded the raven, "You killed me Ezra."
"Wah-" The Shawcross' eyes widened, the stoic mask breaking as tears pooled in his blood-red eyes
"I loved you"
"I- I'm so sorry, Luca, please" Ezra fell to his knees, sobbing, the sound that came from his throat is barely human "Luca, I-Loved you too!"
"No, you never did, you only had eyes for her."
"Please," He grabbed his hair yanking it from his head "Believe me –I love you! I truly do!"
"You betrayed me." The ghostly figure began to rise up in smoky rifts.
"No! – Luca! Wait for me!!" The raven scrambled up "Don't leave, please – I can't live without you!! Luca!! Take me with you!!!"
"It's not your time yet."
"Please- I need you!'
"Ezra-"
"You can't leave" He screamed in a frenzied state "I need you – I love you"
"I'll be waiting for you" The apparition vanished.
"No – LUCA!!" The raven screamed.
x-x-x-x-x-
Some say he went mad, some say he was killed. But the fact still remained that Ezra Shawcross was dead. His body was found on the banks of the Orcus river and an autopsy had ruled it out as suicide.
Natalie was still in shock.
And the old Mr. Shawcross' obsession with graves had increased.
What was surprising was that instead of the Shawcross private graveyard, Mr.Shawcross had him buried in the city's public cemetery.
If you go there sometime, you see two graves side by side, They are rather plain – no distinguishing features, but if you go a bit closer you will be able to make out a slight aura around them - a light yellow merging into dark blue.
