thanks so much for everyone's reviews so far! I really love reading them :D here's the next chapter, sorry it's kind of short but i'm hoping to upload the next chapter this evening so please let me know what you think in the reviews :D
Rogue's POV
'I can't' I say bluntly, moving backwards but Vic has his hands around my waist to stop me from escaping.
'It's not that bad. You can't seriously be scared' he says amused
'Yes, yes I am!' I say putting my hands on my hips
'but you're the bravest person I know!'
'What if they don't like me, Vic' I ask
'They're going to love you.' He told me confidently and took my hand as he let himself in
'Hello' Vic shouts, 'Anybody home?'
'VICTOR?! OH MY GOODNESS VICTOR YOU'RE HOME!' a small woman yells, hurling herself at Vic.
Victor hugged the small women; well it was more like her didn't have any other choice. More people were filling into the small hallway. I tried to guess people's names by the descriptions Vic gave me but I got all mixed up because they all look kind of similar.
'You didn't call! I thought you were dead!' the woman cried
'Sorry mum, it was a little rushed.' Vic replied, trying his best to pry his way out of the tight clasp. Vic's mum stepped back a little and noticed me standing (or hiding) half behind Victor.
'Is this her, Vic?' His mum asked, cheering up slightly, her eyes are shinning now.
'Yes, give her some space people!' Vic rolled his eyes and pulled me through to the living room where more people were sitting.
'Everybody, I'd like you to meet my soulfinder, Rogue.' Announced Victor, beaming.
'Rogue. That is an awesome name! Like a super hero!' a small girl said with a mass of curly blonde hair.
'awh I knew Vic would find you!' Vic's mum said, engulfing me into another hug which was kind of awkward because Vic kept his hand around me.
'Karla, let the poor girl breath.' A man said, presumably Vic's father.
I took a deep breath 'It's lovely to meet you all'
'Ah you're from the south, right?' Victor's father asked, smile lines formed around his eyes.
'Texas' I smile
'I'm Saul; let me introduce you to the family.' He said and begun pointing out the groups of people.
It took a good 5 minutes to name everyone since the whole family had come down. I could remember a few names, like Sky who said I sound like a super hero, but some people's names just slipped my mind. Someone made some coffee which I was thoroughly grateful for. Everyone took a seat in the living room although due to the shortage of chairs, most of the girls sat on their soulfinders laps.
'So, you were in the army, Rogue?' Asked the oldest looking boy…Trace I think.
'Well I was… until Victor came along' I say giving Vic a smile and taking hold of his hand.
'So what was prison like?' asked Xav, who was apparently the cheeky one of the family. The TV remote suddenly flew through the air and hit Xav at the back of his head.
'Ouch! Vic!' Complained Xav, rubbing the back of his head.
'Serves you right. What do you think prison was like?!' exclaimed Vic
'well it weren't 5 stars or anything.' I joke, putting on a fake smile.
'that's an understatement' muttered Vic under his breath.
'So… did you kill people?' Asked another one bluntly, Will maybe?
'umm….' I hesitate, not sure whether I should talk about this in front of my soulfinders parents. Luckily, Vic helps me out.
'What's with all the questions? We've only just arrived?' He protested.
'Of course! You two must still be tired from the flight' said Karla. 'Why don't you go upstairs and put on some comfy clothes or something? Dinner will be in an hour.'
'Thank you' I smile, grateful to get out of my army uniform.
'See, that wasn't so bad.' Vic said as he led me upstairs to his bedroom.
'You're right' I sighed, I hated being wrong.
'I always am' said Victor grinning smugly.
I had a feeling that Victor and I are both as stubborn as each other which is going to be interesting. I've always been competitive in anything, and I have a hunch that Victor might be the same. I played a lot of card games with the other soldiers in Afghanistan and they always used to mock me for being a bad loser and sometimes, a bad winner. The only real difference between me and Vic was that Vic seems like the serious kind of guy where else I was the kind of girl who is hardly ever serious. I've taken it as my un-assigned duty to sweeten him up a little.
