This is the next chapter :) I hope you like it and please leave a review for me to read :)
Will's POV
5 Benedict brothers with soulfinders, 2 more to go. Uriel and I were waiting patiently for our time to come. Victor had found his soulfinder, Rogue, in Afghanistan and in typical Benedict soulfinder tradition, she was in trouble. She's all better now though, after being kidnapped…and falling off a building…and being in a coma. She and Vic have a son now called Samuel and although he is kind of cute, his screams could shatter glass.
So that leaves Uriel and me soulfinderless. After Crystal told me where I can find her, I wanted to rush off to Amsterdam and grab her up in my arms but there was the whole issue with Rogue being badly injured and I could just leave her- she's like a sister to me. But that's all okay now and I'm just itching to head off to Holland. We had a big family talk yesterday about mine and Uriel's soulfinders and my dad doesn't want either of us to go alone, especially since every one of my brother's soulfinders have had some kind of trouble. I guess that makes sense in a way since a family of Benedicts are much better than a single Benedict.
I need to talk to Uriel about this, about who was going to go first to get their soulfinders. Hell, I wanted to go first but I knew it wasn't really fair since Uriel was older and has spent another 4 years of waiting. Speak of the devil, there's a knock at the door and Uriel comes in. I paused my game to talk to him which is a rare privilege since my x-box is the second most important thing in my life, after food.
'Hey man, can I talk to you for a bit?' He asks taking a seat on the edge of my bed.
'Soulfinders?' I ask
'Of course.' He smiles at me.
'Look man, I've been thinking and I want you to go first, you are the oldest.'
'No. That's why I wanted to talk to you. I want you to go first.' He says. We both share a look and laugh at how ridiculous we we're being.
'Seriously though Will. Amsterdam is a lot closer so logically, we should go there first.' He said
'I don't think an extra 4 hours of so on the plan will make a difference.'
'No. You need her Will. I know that my soulfinder is out there in South Africa so I'm not too bothered about when I'm going to find her because I know that I will.'
'Are you sure?' I ask, not really believing him.
'Positive. Look, you need her a lot more than me. I've got work and stuff to keep me occupied but you…' Uriel trailed off, too polite to finish the sentence.
I know what he was getting at. Uriel has a flat and a well-paid job with lots of friends where else I don't really have much going for me at the moment. I'm 20 years old and I don't have a job and I still live with my parents. My friends all left for work and colleges leaving me extremely bored and lonely. I wasn't exactly slipping but I didn't have much to live for either.
'I get it.' I say quietly but I smile to show how grateful I am.
'Well I spoke to mum and dad. They said we can leave whenever you want but mum says you need to give her at least 4 days' notice so she can get the ironing done.' Uriel chuckles.
'I don't know how to thank you…' I say to him
'You don't need to thank me.'
'You seriously are my favourite brother! Don't tell Xav or he'll get jealous.' I joke.
It was true. Uriel really was the best brother; the golden boy. He was never annoying or mean or borrowed your stuff without asking unlike some people who I won't mention (ahem..Xav.) He was everyone's favourite brother and if anyone deserved to have a soulfinder, it would be Uriel. That's why I felt kind of guilty going first. Whoever and Where ever Uriel's soulfinder is- she is one very lucky girl.
Thinking of soulfinders, I start wondering what mine would be like. What her name would be? What her savant gift is? What she looks like? I didn't realise I was sitting there with a stupid grin on my face until Uriel waved his hand in front of my face, making me blink.
'Sorry…I just tuned out for a second.' I say giving him a sheepish smile.
'I'll give you a match?' Uriel said, gesturing to 'Call-of-duty' on the X-box.
'Oh you're going down. I just got a kill-streak of 47.' I tell him, handing him a controller.
In the end I did beat Uriel but that wasn't really a surprise. Since I don't have a job I sit and play it all day so no one can beat me at it. Rogue's probably the second best at 'Call-of-Duty' and sometimes, if I'm feeling generous, I'll let her win but most of the time I'm the un-defeat able champion…hey…I wonder whether my soulfinder will be any good at it?
