Chapter 4- Will
Will sat on a chair in the living room and watched as Autumn sat on the floor opposite Vic and held her hand out Vic gently placed his hand in hers. She closed her eyes but her eyes moved quickly behind the lids.
"Victor Benedict age 25 third oldest son to Karla and Saul Benedict. You work for the FBI and you love your job." Autumn said.
Will could see boredom on his brother's face this was information that you could find out easily.
"You have a thing you your partner Kelly. She beautiful, and you know she likes you too. But your torn; part of you would like to kiss her perky pick lips that always make you smile when she doesn't always think before she speaks. But the other part of you knows that if you do you will one day break her heart and it will be you because you will find your soulfinder and the love that you had for Kelly will no longer be there." Autumn added.
Vic's mouth fell open.
"Your currently working on a case involving a man named Michael Turner, your pretty sure he killed the missing girl but without a body and with no previous record or evidence that point to Michael you have nothing to go on." She continued.
Everyone of Will's family were staring at Autumn with fascination as she shook her head. Autumn slowly opened her eyes and took her hand back from Vic.
"That's amazing." Uriel said breaking the silence.
"I'm sorry if I said anything you didn't want your family to know." Autumn whispered.
"You didn't." Vic replied standing up.
He held out his hand to help Autumn stand she took it.
She wobbled on her feet and Vic caught her before she fell.
"Sorry, reading sometimes makes me tired. Would it be ok if I lay down for a while?" Autumn said asking his mother.
"Of course honey." His mother replied guiding her towards the stairs.
Autumn stopped when she got to the door.
"For what it's worth I think your right about Turner, don't give up." Autumn said over her shoulder.
"I wont." Vic replied still watching her.
Autumn: Bold and Italics= dream
The rational part of Autumn knew this was a dream. But still this room scared her. It was the same room she had held been in right after her father die. The three weeks of hell. The room was pitch black Autumn strained her eyes trying to see but she knew it was pointless. She tried to move from side to side but she could move she seem to be restrained by something.
"Ahh," Autumn moaned in frustration.
"Stop moving you will only hurt yourself." A voice sighed sounding tired.
Instincts made Autumn turn to where the voice had come from but the darkness stopped her from seeing who the voice belonged too.
"Who's there?" Autumn asked.
"It's me Chicken." The voice replied.
Autumn smiled despite the situation there was only two people who called her chicken and since this one voice was female. Autumn knew it had to be Maya.
"Maya where are we?" Autumn asked.
She heard Maya sigh.
"I don't know chicken." Maya replied frustrated.
Autumn knew what would happen she had lived this moment over and over again, this day that started the worse three weeks of her life. But still her heart hoped this time would be different.
"No talking." A gruff voice said as the door opened and light invaded the room making them both squint in surprise.
"Now Now, Marcus. Be kind to our guest." Another voice called this voice was cold and called from the shadows.
"Guest my arse." Maya spat.
Autumn heard the impact as something hit Maya.
Maya are you ok?
I'm fine.
Don't push these people I don't want you to get hurt.
I'm meant to be the one protecting you.
You are.
"What do you want from us?" Autumn asked.
"Not us just you." The voice from the shadows said.
"If you hurt Maya again I won't do anything for you." Autumn replied.
The pain of the pressure that pushed her face to the left at impact left her whole body stinging as she tried to blink away the pain.
"Don't touch her." Maya screamed.
Her savant reacted when she was angry and Autumn knew it wouldn't take much more until her savant reacted without her control.
"Chicken talk to me." Maya called out after Autumn failed to reply to her telepathy.
Maya tried to keep the panic from her voice but Autumn could tell it was there.
"What do you want from me?" Autumn asked swallowing the pain.
"Just a little reading." The voice from the shadows called but I knew there was more to it.
Do not do it.
Maya I have to this may be our only way out of this alive.
Listen to me chicken, you cannot help these people.
What aren't you telling me?
Please chicken just trust me.
"I won't help you." Autumn said confidently.
"You really should have just done what I asked." The cold voice said.
Maya screamed a blood curdling scream before everything went silent.
Maya
Maya
"Dammit, Maya answer me." Autumn screams tears streaming down her face.
"Maya." Autumn screamed.
Will
Will knocked on Autumn's door but there was no answer.
"Maya," she screamed again.
Will opened the door without waiting for a reply, Autumn had been screaming and crying Maya over and over again for the last half hour.
Autumn lay on his bed tossing and turning. Her face wet with tears. Will sat on the edge of her bed and gently began calling her name.
After a couple of minute Autumn began to stair. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"You ok?" Will asked.
Tears fell from her eyes as she nodded.
Will reluctantly left it alone knowing she clearly didn't want to talk to him.
"Dinner's ready." He said and she nodded.
"I'll be right there." She said.
Will reluctantly left the room. He pulled out his phone and dialled Carter's number.
"Is chicken ok?" Carter answered.
"Who's Maya?" Will asked.
"She was my soulfinder." Carter replied.
