Cassidy's POV

I breathed out and was met by a sort of grey cloud which my breath had made. I pulled my jacket tighter around me, shivering in the late October night. The street is lit by very few street lamps and normally people don't walk out here. I know that if I was in London it would be warmer but no. my mum decided she wanted to move in with her soulfinder, Adam. I was happy for them but now we leave in Boston. No not America's Boston, Lincolnshire's Boston. Well actually, three miles from Boston.

I heard footsteps behind me, muffled by the grass. I gripped my bag tighter, clenching my fists. I wasn't a sure fighter but I did know a bit of self-defence. The footsteps got closer and I felt my heart beat pick up, my breaths coming slightly faster. God, were they going to try and kill me?! I took a deep breath as a hand lightly touched my arm. I stopped dead in my tracks and with gritted teeth, turned around.

A man, above six foot, stood before me. His eyes were dark, matching his hair. His lips were in a small smile as he looked at me. He reached up to his head, pulling his hat over his ears. God, what's going to happen now? I took a step back from the impossibly tall man, worried for my safety. He held up his own hands, taking a step back as well.

"I ain't gonna hurt you" He smiled, hands still up in surrender. "Just don't think you should be walking in the dark on your own."

"Yeah, well... I missed the last bus. My friend decided snogging her boyfriend was more important" I replied, my voice coming out low.

"Bit selfish" He waved a hand, indicating for me to keep walking. His accent was strange and at first I couldn't place it. Then I thought back to some films I had watched. He was American. "She left you then?"

"Yeah, sort of. I left her, she was still kissing Taylor, and headed for the bus stop. It had already left" I sighed.

"Bummer" he nodded. "I'm Will by the way. Will Benedict."

I shook his hand cautiously, letting go at soon as possible. "Cassidy Daniels."

"Nice to meet you Cas" Will smiled.

My heart fluttered a bit at seeing him smile, gosh he was gorgeous. "Yeah, you too... you on holiday here?"

"Yeah" he sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "a big family holiday. All eleven of us."

"Eleven?!" I asked, astonished.

"Yeah, my parents, six brother and their girl-fiends or wives" he shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Wow, I only have four in my family. Mum, step-dad, step-sister and brother. Actually six... my dad and step-mum as well" I said, still finding it hard to believe he had six brothers.

He chuckled, looking down at me. "Quite a big difference then."

I just nodded, smiling.

We were silent as we entered the village, passing the town hall and the small shops. I looked up at Will to see him smiling as he looked around. I tapped into his thoughts, cute. ha. He thought my village was cute, how sweet. We continued walking down the darkened streets, finally reaching mine.

I stepped into my driveway, turning to Will. "Thanks for walking me back, it was very kind of you."

"It was no trouble" he smiled. "I'll see you around?"

"Sure" I smiled, heading to my door. "Bye."

"See ya" he turned, slowly starting to walk down the street again.

Closing the door, I sent a telepathic message to him. Be careful Will.

I drew in a sharp breath, my eyes widening slightly. My head hurt but not in a bad way. My mind had been brushed against a live wire and now I felt life flowing through me. Everything seemed clearer and I felt slightly happier. I slowly walked up the stairs, pausing at the top to look out of the side window. Will stood on the street, looking up at the window... at me. I gave a little wave before turning and heading to the room I share with my sister, Katie.

The first thing I see is Katie, sitting on her bed and laptop on her lap. She looked up as I walked through her half of the room to my own. I laid on my bed, pinching the bridge of my nose is thought. What had come over me? I still felt amazing but I also felt a strange tugging on my heart. Like I was missing something, or maybe someone. I kicked my shoes off and buried my head in the pillows.

My mum, Martha, had always said that when she first spoke to Adam telepathically, it was like the whole lighting up. Like she could finally see the world around her clearly for the first time. I kind of felt like that but I hadn't spoken so a savant telegraphically... Will. He must have been a savant. I leaped from my bed, running down the stairs and threw the front door open. But he wasn't there. Will was gone... my soulfinder, Will Benedict, was gone.
