Protecting Autumn

Chapter 1-Will

Will glared as Zed continued to stare at him.

"What they hell are you looking at?" Will demanded.

Will felt his mother stare at him from behind but he didn't care. Life had become quite lately the majority of his brothers were living with happily with their soulfinders, Will wanted to be happy for his brothers and the majority of the time he was it was just he was bored and longer he was bored the more he resented that they had a soulfinder and he didn't.

"Today is going to be interesting for you." Zed finally replied.

"What they heck does that mean?" Will demanded as Sky his brothers soulfinder walked into the kitchen.

"Just wait and see." Zed told him smirking.

Sky lightly punched his brother and glared at him when he looked up at her.

"What was that for?" he demanded a big soppy grin on his face.

"You can't just say something like that and not explain yourself." Sky shouted at him.

"Its cruel." She added.

Zed just shook his head before leaving the room. Sky smiled at him sympathetically before heading out after his brother.

"You know what he's like." His mother said placing a kiss to his forehead.

Will sighed and shook his head. This was going to be a long day.

Will sat at his desk. He liked being a cop he really did but on days like today he hated it, his partner was out sick which led Will to be stuck at his desk getting more and more frustrated.

"Benedict, you've got a visitor." The desk sergeant called.

Will looked up and frowned before slowly getting up and making his way down stairs.

"He's in there." The desk sergeant said putting t the soft interview room.

Will opened the door and smiled brightly.

"Carter." Will said giving his old friend a hug.

Will meet Carter Jenkins when they were ten, when will had gone with his father to meet a friend on his and Carter had joined his father.

Originally from England Carter had spent summers in America with his father and the rest of the time he lived in London with his grandfather.

Carter smiled in returned and hugged his friend.

Carter was tall with short sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

"How have you been?" Carter asked him taking a seat.

"Good thanks, what about you?" Will replied.

Carter moved his hand.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

Carter was a savant like him.

"That's why I'm here I need your help. Well your families help." Carter replied.

Will looked at his friend. Carter had bags under his eyes, he looked tired and worried.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

Carter looked up at him.

"Can't help unless you tell me what's going on." Will said.

"I have a sister her name is Autumn." Carter told him.

Will looked confused why had Carter never told him about his sister before.

"She has rare and very powerful savant," Carter explained.

"And its strong." He added.

"So what do you need?" Will asked unsure on what his friend needed.

"There are people after her, I need you to protect her for me for a while why I find away to get rid of this people." Carter told him.

"What about your dad can't he help?" Will asked.

Carter looked grim.

"Dad's dead." Carter told him.

"That's while there coming after her know they wouldn't have dare while he was alive and now the only ones that might stand a chance of keeping her safe is your family." Carter continued.

Will new his family meant a lot in the savant world and they only gained more of a reputation every time one of his brothers found their soulfinder.

"I have to speak to my family before I can agree to this." Will said.

"I know." Carter replied grim.

Will took out one of his cards and handed it to Carter.

"Give me two days, by then I'll have an answer for you." Will said and Carter nodded.

Will sent a message to his whole family and their partners asking for them to meet him back out the house as soon as they could. They all agree after he told them he would he would explain later and not before.

When he got home from work his whole family sat waiting for him.

"What's so important that I had to be here immediately?" Victor demanded.

Ever since Crystal had told Victor about his soulfinder Vic had been using all the resources he had to try and find her.

"Do you remember Carter Jenkins?" Will asked looking over at his father.

His father nodded.

"Max was one of the greatest men on the savant world." His father told the others.

"Was." Will said.

His father looked back at him sharply.

"He died a few months ago." Will told his father.

His father looked sad.

"That's all you wanted to tell us?" Vic asked annoyed.

"Just listen." Zed said glaring at Vic.

Will look over at his Zed.

"Is this what you saw?" Will asked.

"Not exactly." Zed replied.

Will shook his head in frustration.

"Apparently Carter has a sister and she has a rare savant." Will told them.

"With Max gone I imagine people will go after her if her gifts that rare." His father said.

Will nodded then told his family everything Carter told him.

"We have to help her." Phee and Sky said at the same time.

"I'm not sure, it could be dangerous." Yves added.

While his brothers agreed amongst themselves. His parents sat talking quietly together.

"Quite." His father said and his brothers quieted down.

"Zed did you see anything about this girl?" their mother asked him.

"Not really, I just feel we need to help her." Zed replied.

His mother turned to him.

"What about you Will do you sense anything dangerous?" She asked him.

"Yes, but something tells that if we don't help her it will be more dangerous for her." He replied honestly unable to lie to his mother.

"We take a vote. Will go round the room say yes if you think we should help her and no if you don't." They father said.

"Vic?" there father asked.

"I'm not sure I think this could be dangerous. So I am going to say no." Vic replied.

"Yes." Will said when his father pointed to him.

"I'm with Vic I'm not sure so no." Uriel responded.

"Yes." Phee replied without doubt.

"No." Yves replied looking sad.

"Yes." Crystal said.

"Yes, we need a little excitement." Xav said smiling.

"No," Trace said.

"Yes," Diamond replied glaring at Trace.

"Yes." Zed added.

"Yes," Sky said.

It was just their parents to go.

"Out of respect for her father and knowing he would have done it for anyone of you I will also say yes." His father explain.

"I will also agree." Their mother said.

Will sat on the kitchen table waiting for Carter to call his brothers were currently sorting out some kind of router for protecting Autumn but his father had decided that since it was Will that Carter came to it would be ultimately down to him to look after her.

"Hello," Will said answering his phone on the first ring.

"Its me," Carters voice replied sounding tired.

"Bring, Autumn to the house when you're ready." Will told him.

"You sure?" Carter asked.

"Yes," Will replied confidently.

"Thank you." Carter whispered.

"Will be to you by the end of the week." He added.
