  4. Summary

    About a year after Michael learns about haunted animatronics, he takes a visit to an abandoned pizzeria in his hometown of Hurricane, Utah.

    He knows he won't actually find his brother's ghost there, but feels obligated to check, anyway.

    And Michael is blind-sided when he finds his little brother's ghost in the pizzeria.

    Once he realizes who Michael is, Evan is ecstatic to have his big brother back. He's so happy that he demands they play games together to make up for lost time and the loving brothership they never had. But Evan has been dead for so long that he doesn't understand basic human necessities. He doesn't understand why Mikey keeps insisting he needs to stop playing for things like sleeping, eating, and getting something to drink. And Evan gets violently angry at his big brother every time he "ruins their fun" with his unnecessary requests.

    The longer Evan’s games go on, the more certain Mike gets that he might not make it out alive. His little brother's love might just be what kills him.

    Summary

    “Please, tell me that this is a nightmare. Tell me this isn’t true.” 
    But Merlin couldn’t do that. And even if he did, it was too late. Nobody would believe his lies anymore.

    But he stayed silent. 
    “Merlin. Merlin, tell me you’re not a bloody sorcerer.”

    Summary

    “Shut up!” he yells, and it’s right here where he makes the biggest mistake in Mercia’s visit.
    Having your head smashed into a concrete wall isn’t something Merlin would recommend. “Don’t you fucking dare yell at me. Do you understand? How dare you be so insolent. You know, I was going to give you a small kick and be done with it, let the Prince deal with you himself as I’m sure he does. But no one disrespects me like that, boy. You hear me?”

    Merlin knows that Arthur doesn't truly hurt him because he wants to, he knows that the prince is just used to horseplay. Merlin also knows that Arthur would never beat him, or any servant for that matter, and he's secure in his knowledge of that. Visiting knights, however, seem to have a different idea of what happens behind closed doors, especially when they see all the things Arthur throws at his servant. So, if the prince can hurt Merlin, why can't they?
