chapter two

Prime walked to the entrance of the house holding a glass of scotch in her hand as the door opened revealing Klaus who looked like he had the worst day of his life.

"Welcome home, Klaus"

His head shot up at her voice and waved his arms," Primeeeeeeeeyy~ My favourite sister"

He sang as he wrapped his arms around his sister. She ended up scrunching her nose," You smell like shit Klaus"

He pulled back dramatically and put a hand on his heart," How could you be so mean?"

"Because it's the truth, go and take a bath" She rolled her eyes and shoved him away. She watched him skip away singing and once he was gone, she frowned. She knew Klaus was under the influence of drugs—to keep away the dead. But she had hoped he was sober to ask him if he could see Ben. She missed him terribly and Klaus was her only hope to talk to him.

Prime hissed and lifted her glass gulping down the scotch and walked over to see Grace sitting in front of the fire in a daze. Prime studied her before she called out to her but Grace didn't respond—Prime bobbed her head, assuming she was probably reprogramming her system in the right order since Prime just turned back on the first-aid switch.

Prime moved and stood behind the bar and she saw Diego walking up from the Kitchen and looking at their mother. It was silent for a moment before the siblings heard the door open and saw Vanya walking in, she hadn't seen them since she called out for Grace.

"Vanya? You're actually here!" Allison said walking down the stairs.

Prime walked out of the living room in view," Welcome home sis" She said as Vanya turned to her sisters.

"Hey Allison, Hi P"

Prime waved as Allison walked closer chuckling and went silent. Prime looked at Allison as she leaned over smiling and hugged Vanya who returned it awkwardly.

Diego walked out seeing Vanya and frowned immediately," Ah, what is she doing here? You don't belong here, not after what you did"

"Diego shut your mouth before I burn you" Prime seethed as he scoffed, but it didn't go unnoticed that he flinched slightly at her words.

"You're seriously gonna do this today?" Allison replied," Way to dress for the occasion, by the way!" She shouted to him.

"At least I'm wearing black," He said walking up the stairs.

"If you don't shut that trap of yours, you'll be wearing my fire" Prime yelled angrily as he just walked away.

"You know what? -Maybe he's right-And I shouldn't-". Vanya furrowed her brows.

"Forget about him," Allison and Prime said in unison.

"I'm glad you're here," Allison nodded.

Prime raised a brow and stepped in," We are glad you're here" She corrected her sister with my arms crossed.

Prime then went and joined Vanya in the main living room. Prime went back to drinking her scotch. As she watched Vanya look at the bookshelves.

Suddenly, Vanya stopped and pulled out her book and stared at it. Pogo then walked in and looked at Prime as she nodded her head to Vanya.

He turned and spoke," Welcome home, Ms Vanya"

She turned around to Pogo still holding her book," Pogo" She walked over hugging him," So good to see you"

He looked down at the book in her hand," Ah, yes, your autobiography"

Vanya looked at Prime as she walked over—noticing her sister seemed like she was worried and Prime just smiled and swayed on her feet, "I liked it"

Vanya blinked at her in surprise and then she slowly asked," Do you know, um...Did he ever read it?" By he—she was referring to their father.

Prime shared a look at Pogo," Not that I'm aware of" said Pogo.

Vanya sighed mildly and then turned to the fireplace where Five's portrait was," How long has it been since Five disappeared?"

Prime turned her head and exhaled," It's been 16 years, four months and 14 days, Dad insisted we keep track" Her sister and Pogo talked about Five since she was closest to him when they were younger.

After a while Vanya left the living room, wanting to look at the house and Prime gulped down a shot of scotch lounging on the couch. She sat comfortably in silence for a while, before hearing footsteps. Prime lazily smiled seeing Diego walk in.

"Well hello there, brother, care to join me?" Prime said waved her hand as the bottle and glass started levitating over to them. He sat next to her as he reached for the objects and poured himself a glass. Diego then clinked it into his sister's glass and gulped it down.

Prime looked at him and raised an eyebrow," What? Got a stick up your ass, Diego?"

He glared at her and threw himself back on the couch," Luther"

Prime snorted and let out a laugh," I should have known"

"He thinks someone killed Dad" Prime froze at what he said she took a moment before huffing.

"As if! the place has an alarm system, any fool trying to enter will have to deal with me"

"Were you here the day, he died?" He asked Prime slowly like he was interrogating her.

Prime lifted her glass as she levitated the bottle of scotch to pour in, "I was, but I was with Pogo, he can vouch for that, we were busy doing some research for Dad"

"Wait until he starts blaming you," He grumbled.

"Oh, What fun~," She said sarcastically.

Soon enough, Klaus walked in and Prime raised her hand to him," Go, go over there and make yourself a drink, I don't need to hear it" Klaus grinned and motioned his hand making an imaginary zipper over his lips.

He walked over to the bar humming as Prime rolled her eyes. Eventually, Vanya walked in next and sat on the couch.

Prime stepped on Diego's foot to stop him from saying anything. He glared at her as he moved to a single chair looking into the fire.

Luther and Allison came in with each other—Luther sitting next to Prime and Allison on a chair across Diego.

"Anyone want a drink?" Prime added breaking the tension that went on for a while. All except Allison said yes, and Prime used her powers to pour her a cup.

Luther then shot up from the couch," Um...I guess we should get this started. So, I figured we could have a sort of memorial service in the courtyard at sundown. Say a few words, just at Dad's favourite spot"

Allison then looked surprised and asked," Dad had a favourite spot?"

"Yeah, you know under the oak tree, we used to sit out there all the time. None of you ever did that?" His tone sounded bitter.

Prime scoffed at him glaring," Enough with the attitude, Luther"

Her twin was going to argue back but Klaus came over," Will there be refreshments? Tea? Scones? Cucumber sandwiches are always the winner" Prime chuckled lightly drinking down her newly filled cup of scotch.

Luther glared at Prime then frowned seeing Klaus about ti smoke," What? No. and put that out, Dad didn't allow smoking in here"

"Let him do what he wants Luther" Prime added as he looked at her

" Prime—

"Don't Prime me—Spaceboy" She said referring to his super alias," Last time I checked, dad is not here, so lay off before I burn you" He looked at her about to retort when Allison interrupted the twins.

"Is that my skirt?!" She questioned and they all turned to look at Klaus at his bottom attire. Prime was the only one to snicker.

"What?" He looked down and laughed," Oh yeah, this. I found it in your room. It's a little dated, I know, but it's very breathy on the bit" He said motioning to his private part.

Prime made a disgusted face not wanting the mental image," Gross Klaus, not an image I want in my head" He looked to the side and smirked to nothing and Prime furrowed her brows and just shook her head.

"It's a nice thing to think about, I can see why you girls like these," He said waving his hips.

"Listen up, still some important things that we need to discuss, all right?" Luther said loudly cutting him off.

"Like what? Diego asked

"Like the way, he died," Luther said and Prime lowered her glass and rolled her eyes.

"And here we go," Diego said

"I don't understand. I thought they said it was a heart attack" Vanya said as Klaus sat on the couch she was sitting at.

"Yeah according to the coroner," Luther added bitterly

Vanya then questioned," Well, wouldn't they know?"

"Theoretically" He responded

"Theoretically?" Allison questioned

"Woah, calm down, Prime or you'll start a fire," Klaus said as the glass in her hand melted.

"Luther, if you so much as so,  finish that sentence, I'll burn you to death," Prime said standing up as she walked towards him.

"Why Prime?! It doesn't add up! Something happened to him, the last time I talked to him, he sounded strange!"

"Ohh~," Klaus said gurgling his drink," Quelle surprise!"

"Strange how?" Allison questioned

"He sounded on edge, and told me to be careful who to trust," Luther said.

Prime lifted her hand conjuring flame," Luther, that old man was paranoid and bitter, I have been with him since everyone left including you"

He flinched as he saw her flames, "Even so, the entire house is alarmed, no one could have gotten in without them going off!"

"No! Come on! He must have known something was going to happen!"

Prime extinguished her flames and scoffed," You are really full of it, it's ridiculous" she said sitting down not wanting to waste her breath as he kept repeating himself. She didn't want to start a fight with her fire and burn the house—So she needed to calm down before things got heated—literally.

He then looked at Klaus," Look I know you don't like to do it, but I need you to talk to Dad" Allison scoffed and Prime shot a glare at her—Klaus's powers were not something he liked to deal with, it was the reason he became a drug addict. It was horrifying for him when he was younger, and most of the others didn't understand it besides, Vanya, Five, Ben and Prime.

"I can't just call Dad in the afterlife and be like, 'Dad, could you just stop playing tennis with Hitler for a moment and take a quick call?"

"Since when? That's your thing!" Luther argued.

"I'm not in the right...frame of mind" He whined

"You're high?" Allison said loudly annoyed

He laughed and faced her," Yeah! Yeah! I mean, how are you not, listening to this nonsense?"

Luther then shouted," Well, sober up, this is important" Klaus just sighed and Prime joined him.

She was not supporting Klaus in his drug addiction, but she couldn't stop him, it was not something she could just do. They were all adults, they made their own decisions, Prime could be the voice of reason and help him, but Klaus was the only one who could help himself in the end.

"Then there is the issue of the missing monocle" Luther added

"Who gives a shit about a stupid monocle?!" Diego argued with Luther

"Exactly! It's worthless, so whoever took it, I think it was personal, someone close to him, someone with a grudge" Luther said.

Prime, she knew the truth. He was not murdered; she can definitely say that was true.

"Where are you going with this!?" Klaus asked getting fed up

Diego then let out a dry laugh, "OH, isn't it obvious, Klaus? He thinks one of us killed Dad" They all looked at him in disgust and shock—they didn't love the man, sure, but they wouldn't kill him.

"You do?!" Klaus wailed

Vanya then wore a sour expression," How could you think that?"

"Great job, Luther, way to lead," Prime said getting up from the couch and walked past him as she bumped him angrily.

"That's not what I'm saying-

"You're crazy man, You're crazy!" Klaus said walking out along with Prime and Diego following.

"I'm not finished-

"Sorry, I'm just gonna go, murder Mom, be right back," Klaus said as he walked away. They all left him in the Living room, all pissed at his accusation.
