So here is the next chapter. It's a long one so please review. Also, check out the last bit after the story...
Enjoy :)
Will POV
This was so painful to watch. I was holding him whilst he was sobbing, and it was heart-breaking. He was always the calm, rational person who never cried and it never got too tough for him. Maybe I was wrong. It seems that he just hides it better than even Vic and it scaring me to see him like this. It makes me lose hope to see him like this. Not to mention his thoughts. His shields must have crumbled because everything was leaking out into my head. I blocked out as much as I could but some of it kept slipping through.
After a while, he started to sort himself out and said he was going to bed. I checked his thoughts to see he wasn't going to do anything irrational but he was just exhausted. Anyway, I could look out for him with my gift. Now I have the task to tell my family.
I calculated the time over there and I guess it was 4 am. They wouldn't be pleased for me to wake them but this was urgent. I tried to Skype them but no one was up. I decided to call Zed. He would definitely be in the house and could gather everyone together. It rang for ages before picking up.
"Hello?" I heard a very tired Zed from the other side; I probably woke him up.
"Hey Zed, It's Will."
"Will. What are calling at this time for? You know I have school tomorrow don't you?" He sounded annoyed and I would be.
"Zed. It's urgent." I say. I heard him ruffle the duvet.
"What's wrong? Is everything okay? Do I need to bust you out of jail?" He asked, the last one a joke but I didn't laugh. He had no idea it was so much worse.
"Is everyone staying over tonight?"
"Yeah. Mum wanted everyone over for a few days." I sighed slightly in relief. Only had to do it once.
"Okay. Get everyone up and put Skype on. It's urgent."
"On it. See you in a bit." He hung up. I then realised I might need to change our flight tickets. I doubt that Uriel will want to stay here for almost 2 weeks. I just opened up the correct webpage when I received a video call.
"That was quick!" I said since it had only been 10 minutes.
"Yeah well, Zed isn't a gentle waker." Vic replied grumpily.
"I told everyone to get up telepathically and the ones that weren't out of bed in 2 minutes –cough, Vic and Xav, cough- got a handful of water chucked over them." I saw Zed grinning, Xav swatted him over the head and Vic rolled his eyes.
"What's the important news son? Has Uriel found her?" Dad said. I think he knew I wasn't myself and maybe even saw some tear marks down my face.
"You might all need to sit down." They all gave a confused look and I noticed everyone, apart from Sunny, has holding onto their soulfinders. Something Uri will never experience.
"What's going on Will?" I heard Sky speak and she has fear in her voice, probably saw the darkness of my colours.
"Uriel has found Bheka. But she died two weeks ago. The day he came back to Colorado." I said and everyone went silent. Most of their faces had dropped. So I thought I should continue.
"I went to get some papers from the registry office and they gave me her death certificate. I didn't know how to tell him. It was so terrible to watch him." I felt a tear slide down my face. "He's sleeping at the moment but he was leaking thoughts and it was almost unbearable to watch let alone experience." Suddenly mum burst into tears. Dad comforted her and they went out the room.
"Does he want to see us?" Molly asked, I haven't known her too long but she was so compassionate. I think she wanted to comfort him.
"No. His thoughts were that he couldn't look at us for a while because he thought of all the soulfinders. I think he is fine with me because Sunny isn't here but I don't know how he could cope. Imagine going on a vacation just for finding your soulfinder to realise that they're dead." We sat in silence trying to think about that and Sky started crying.
"It's like when I was kidnapped and I found out Zed was my soulfinder. I was so happy but then I almost cried because I thought about never seeing him again. We need to be as nice as possible around Uri; making an effort not to be near our soulfinders for a while. Hopefully, he will be okay with it eventually." We all agree to that.
"I've gotta go now. I don't think Uri should sleep too long. I think I will make some Lasagne as well, it's the only thing I can cook well. Get some sleep guys and take the day off. Mum might want some comforting."
"When are you coming back?" Phee asked.
"I was just looking at the earliest flights as I don't think Uri will want to stay but I will tell you once I have talked to him."
"Take care, Will. Make sure you look after him." Trace said and I nodded.
"Could you guys give me a minute with Sunny?" I asked and they left the room.
"Hey beautiful." I said keeping my voice down so I didn't wake Uriel up.
"Hello. How are you coping?" She asked.
"It's tough but I'm managing. I have to for Uriel's sake. I need to ask you a question. Do you think he will ever recover from this?" I asked her. I was so scared for him.
"Honestly? I don't know. I can faintly read his mind but it hurts when I do. I think it will take him a long time but he should be okay eventually." I nod.
"How have things been in Colorado? I heard mum wanted you all to stay overnight."
"Yeah. She made us a really big tea then decided that it was too late for us all to go our separate ways and ordered us to stay here the night. I suppose it was good we did." She smiled slightly. That made me feel warm inside but then I felt bad for feeling like this.
"You should be getting to bed. We should be back within a week but I will text you the actual details." She nodded. " Sunny, I love you."
"I love you too!"
"Right I need to go and make a lasagne. I'll talk to you soon!"
"Okay, bye." She said.
Okay, so I am thinking of doing another story about Molly and Victor. I know they haven't had one and it will be very brief but please tell me what you think.
** COMPETITION TIME**
Fancy being in a short story? It could be this one or the one about Molly and Vic. I need one person in this story and 2 in the other. You can pick the name and the power that you have. You can enter as many times as you want just review this chapter then PM me what you want to be. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR REAL NAME! Good luck :)
