Rupert got out of his car and closed the door not being able to take his eyes off of the house before him. As his feet edged closer and closer, he became more nervous, after all it had been years since he finally got the chance to see his younger brother face to face.
Finally after what felt like ever, Rupert walked up the steps of the old farm house and knocked loudly, he hoped his brother would except his being here, he hadn't seen him after their last visit together due to a confrontation.
Rupert side, as he waited, looking around him taking in the big luscious trees in the yard as he patiently stood hoping his brother would open the large wooden door soon. He was about to knock again, his fist ready to rapt loudly when finally the door opened and he was face to face with Luke.
" Hi." was all Rupert had managed to say.

At first it had not registered who had been standing in front of him, but as it did Luke stared at his brother as if to ask him what he had been doing there, " Why hello Rupert." He said rather tense, not knowing if he should let him in or not. " What brings you hear."
Luke could tell Rupert was about to answer but instead he took a deep breath and relaxed himself, " Why don't you come in and sit down." Luke said instead as he led him to a room where's floor was covered in red carpet and wall was a dark wood.
He waited for Rupert to sit, " You traveled a long way to get here." Luke started, " How was your travel from England anyway?" He inquired trying to be civil with his older brother.

" Well, my trip was fine, thank you for asking." Rupert said as he pulled off his glasses and rubbed them off wih the bottom of his sweater. " At first it was rather long, I had to drive some of the way, but once I got onto the plane it was fine, I'm actually here for more than just to see you." Rupert said wondering how his brother was going to take the news that in fact he was going to be moving into town. " I'm the new school librarian."
He waited, looking at Luke as though he was waiting for a bomb to go off in his face, but it was the only way to do it, to have the reason and the point of his visit out in the open. As he waited for the awkward silence to pass by Rupert thought back to how things got this tense between him and his brother, after all, growing up they had been quite close with one another, but then he remembered.
It must have been eight years ago now, Angel had been just ten, and him and Luke had been talking for hours, and of course both drinking which in itself never goes over well for a bunch of English fellows. They got into a discussion about secrets when Luke had let one very important secret that didn't go over well, they had got into a terrible argument and hadn't seen each other for years, up until now that was.

" The school librarian?" Luke said slowly turning this around in his mind as he looked at Rupert, " So you'll be at the school? Where Angel goes?" He asked standing up to pour himself a glass of scotch and likewise pouring his brother one as well.
He sat down, passing one of the glasses in his hand to his brother, speechless not know what to say to him, except, " I don't want you talking to Angel about anything to do with that night." He said pertaining to the night her mother had died, Rupert knew too much and Luke knew what Rupert's idea of the whole situation. He thought Angel deserved to know the truth about her past, about who really killed her mother.
The two brothers sat there looking wearily at each other, " Look, promise me, I will tell her when she is ready to know the truth about...." His voice faltered, there was really no point to it but Angel could walk in at any moment and that wouldn't be good, " I just don't feel the time has come."
Luke looked at his watch and back up at Rupert, " It's time I should be leaving, I have something I have to do at the Opera House, since the demon attack a few nights ago they're looking to me to give a couple of rules.
