Fourteen

Jules sighed as he walked through the forest, there were things he'd never tell to his wife or son, no matter how insane it seemed, it'd be impossible for them to understand

His job was something only few people could do, well he was the only one who did it before his brother died when his wife was pregnant with their second child, the first was only ten at the time

That's one of the reasons their always moving around, cause he's trying to find the other half of his family...but the second reason is more complicated

All of a sudden he stopped by a river, he looked towards it and saw the eerie stillness of the waters

"Hello?" He called out calmly "is anyone here?" He waited patiently for someone to answer him, but he saw a blur hiding in the water ahead of him, he frowned a bit but continued what he was doing as he waved the the figure in the water, it startled the unknown person as they quickly disappeared "hey it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you" Jules called out and this time the other was closer and clearer to see

It was a child who seemed to be no older than eight, but he was a small bee who looked at him with dull glowing eyes

"How can you see me?" The voice was quite but clear

"Easy" Jules smiled "I'm someone who can help you rest" his smile softened as he saw the ghost child stiffen

"How....?"

"Well what is it you need to do or say?"

"I just want to go home...."

"Oh...well I can get you there"

"You...you can...?"

"Of course, besides I've done requests like this before"

"You have?"

"Mhmm, now let's get started shall we?"

That was the first day he and his family moved to this small town of death, the second day he'd gone around to find information on the small bee and ended up finding that he lived with an teenage Crocodile and a teenage chameleon

But the problem was there were different definitions for 'Home' so this would take a while to figure out, but the thing that caused the most problems was how he was going to get the ghost there

It was simple really, just find the object he was attached too, but it was obviously in the river, keeping them there

By the third day he was in the river looking for it, no luck, the next day showed no such luck either, but by the time it was time to go it was almost 7 pm and the sun had gone down only an hour ago

"Your going again?" The small bee, Charmy he learned the others name was, frowned

"Yeah, don't worry I'll be back tomorrow" Jules smiled reassuringly as he began to pack up "I have to be home and have dinner with my wife and son, but don't you worry I'll find it tomorrow and then you'll be home"

"Okay" the ghost said as he disappeared into the river without another word

Jules gave a soft sigh as he then went looking for his car that he patched at the beginning of the forest, a normal mobians would take an hour from the river to get back to the entrance on foot, Jules just got into a running position and within about three minutes he was in the car and starting the engine before driving home to see his family
