Delilah

I woke up with a small pain in my leg. Where was I? When I opened my eyes I realized I was in the Benedicts home on their couch. There where people talking around me the person that saw me wake up was Victor who was sitting beside me. He looked relived to see that I was ok.

"Lilah! Thank God you're ok!" He said giving me a hug. I leaned into the hug enjoying his warmth.

"Vic what happened?" I said not letting go of him

"This guy over here ambushed us." He said nodding his head to the side. I had to let go of Vic to see who he was talking about. When I looked over his shoulder I couldn't be more shocked than I was right there.

"James!" I yelled and almost ran over to him, but Victor put his arms around my waist to stop me. Trace looked at me. "You know him?"

"Of course I do. That's James Carter my uncle."

)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(

To say that they were surprised is an understatement. I think Vic was more annoyed than anything. But right now we are all sitting down trying to figure out what's going on.

"Why did you try to kidnap Delilah?" asked Victor.

"That's none of your concern boy" said Uncle James. Uncle James was always really secretive when it came to the safety of the family. I remember because it always annoyed my dad. When dad left so did Uncle James I haven't heard from either of them in years.

"I believe it does concern me saying that you tried to take my soulfinder away from me!" Vic said while getting impatient.

"Soulfinder?" and just like that my uncle went from a man with secrets and a steel expression to the loving and caring uncle I knew as a child. "Darling that's fantastic!" he said looking at me. "I'm so happy for you." He said with a huge grin on his face.

The happy moment was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. I looked up to see it was Trace. "I hate to interrupt, but we really need some answers."

My uncle sighed and ran his fingers through his hair "Yeah I guessed you would. You see we tried to take Delilah to keep her safe."

"From who?" asked Will.

"The same people who have been killing all those girls lately. The same ones as the case I'm working on." Said Vic, my uncle nodded his head in response.

"But why are they after her?" asked Xav.

"What happens in the past stays in the past, but it can always come back to get you" my uncle says and that's when I realized that all the time that my dad said that he was not only giving me advice but also warning me of what was going to happen.

"What?" Xav said.

"Let's start at the beginning. Delilah's father was a special agent for the net. A long time ago he got a case about a group of rouge savants where killing off other savants. Your dad got put on the case because he was the best of the best. He got really close and the rouge savants knew it, so they disappeared. Your dad couldn't find them he worked for about a year, then he got an anonymous note saying that they were going to hit him were it hurt before he got them. The net knowing this hide your dad away, that's why you haven't heard from him. The group of rouge savants has not been able to find your dad, and they know they can't. The net thinks they're going to try to make him come out of hiding." Said Uncle James.

"How are they going to do that?" asks Will.

"They're going to bait him out." Said Trace.

"What's the bait?" asked Xav.

"Me" I said connecting all the dots. It all made since now. Everything my dad did was to prepare to face this, to face his past. All the meetings and conventions, all the advice he gave me and the little hints that all connect now. All the time that my dad spent with me he was preparing me.

Then a thought came to me.

"What about Austin? Will they come after him?"

"They shouldn't he is not a savant" said Uncle James.

"That's good." I said relieved that my little brother isn't in danger.

"Now since that's settled" my uncle said "come on Delilah we are leaving say good bye."

I was about to protest, but what if me being here gets the Benedicts hurt I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Or what if something happened to Victor?

Victor looked mad at first when he heard what my uncle said, and then I think he noticed I wasn't saying anything and he gave me a worried look and held in to me tight.

"Delilah?" he said.

What am I going to do?

Like it? Yes?, No?, Maybe so? please tell me what you think i know its been a while but what you say really does matter to me so lease don't be afraid to tell me! i hope you had a happy holidays:D love all!
