Here is chapter 13! Hope you like it and please remember to review!

Zed's POV:

ZED! Sky's telepathic message hit me. It felt like I hadn't seen or heard from her for so long, despite all the pain and fear in her voice, a pang of relief hit me at just hearing a response from her.

Don't worry I'm here now. I replied to Sky. I felt her try to respond but something blocked our telepathic connection, sending a surge of power towards my head causing me to stumble backwards clutching my hands to my head.

"What's wrong?" Crystal questioned, her voice sounded faint as though from far away. We were both stood further round the house, close to where two other cars were parked. I couldn't see Crystal as my hands were still covering my face. As I eventually lifted my hands from my face, my hand came back bloody.

"Jesus Zed! Your nose is bleeding! What happened?"

"Somebody blocked my connection with Sky."

"So they have other savants in there?" Crystal asked, looking back at the house. The house was only small but I couldn't see Daniel Kelly going without back up, there would be at least two people working for him here, both presumably savants.

"Yeah, I would think so."

We both fell silent as I led the way into the house. As we reached the front door I found it slightly open, why would he leave the door open? I grabbed my gun out and hesitantly raised it as I slowly pushed the door open; I turned round slightly to find Crystal mimicking my actions.

"Come in Benedict." Came a voice, that I would recognise anywhere, from the door way.

I pushed opened the door more confident, I walked in to find Daniel Kelly stood with two armed guards either side of him on the right hand side of the corridor and a fourth man not much older than me stood on the left hand side holding Sky with his right hand and holding a gun to her head with his left.

Sky's face was pale with fear and droplets of blood were still running from her nose, evidence that she too was affected by unknown savant's ability.

Crystal stood to my left, I could tell she was afraid but was attempting to hide it.

"Zed benedict how nice to see you." Before I could even form a response in my mind I was thrown to the ground by both men, who shadowed Kelly. I hit out and managed to punch one of the men squarely on the jaw, making him drop to the ground clutching his jaw in pain. Though the other guy was tougher and managed to hold me down, he pulled the gun out of my hand and kicked me in the stomach. I curled up into a ball in agony.

"Zed!" Sky shouted, seeing my in pain. I looked up to see fear spread across my beautiful soulfinder's face.

"I'm fine." I reassured her, gaining the strength to rise back up, Crystal offered me her arm as she helped me resemble my balance. I bent over slightly to spit some of my blood onto the wooden floor, my mouth was full of blood and my stomach and arms were now throbbing with pain. God I wish Xav was here.

"What do you want, Kelly? Sky has nothing to do with this. Leave her alone."

"Oh please, Benedict. Sky is the one we want this has gone further than simple revenge, though obviously that is an added bonus. We need Sky's services in our community and your family is simply insurance for that."

"We will stop you again, this time for good."

"Well good luck with that, it's defiantly going to be a difficult endeavour considering you will be dead in a minute."

Shock and fear rushed into my system as the man who held me to the ground moments ago held a gun to my head and the second man, who I had punched, raised a gun to Crystal's head.

"NOOO!" Sky screamed as both men simultaneously lifted the safety off their guns.

"I… I can find you your soulfinder!" Crystal stated, fixing Kelly with intense stare her breaths sharp with fear.

Daniel Kelly approached Crystal in slow strides, not breaking eye contact with her as he did so. He stopped just as he reached face to face with her, he was silent for moments, and the whole place was eerily silent as everybody stood facing each other.

"You can find my soulfinder?" He questioned cynically.

"Yes…. It's my gift." Crystal gulped nervously. If I didn't die here, Xav would defiantly kill me for letting Crystal come.

"Well, go ahead. Search for her."

Crystal dropped her eyes for a moment leaving everyone in the room staring at her for an answer. When she opened her eyes again a minute later her face was full of sadness and regret.

"I'm so sorry." Crystal said faintly.

"You're not; you don't know what it is like not having your soulfinder taken from you. To have to watch as they are killed before your eyes. To cling their lifeless body to you, praying to God for a miracle, for them to somehow come back to life. But they don't, and then you have to spend every waking day remembering them and experiencing that pain every second. You don't know how that feel's." Every word was sad with venom but that venom wasn't directed at Crystal or any of us, it was towards the world.

"Please, we are truly sorry for what has happened to you. I wish that it hadn't then I'm sure things wouldn't have come to this. But think about her, would she want you to do this?" Sky spoke and Kelly turned back and looked at her as though he had forgotten she was there In the first place.

"The problem is Sky, she isn't here." He stated his voice showing no emotion. He stood in a trance like state for a moment, all eyes in the room on him. I took full advantage of the situation and elbowed my detainer in the stomach and punched him straight on the side of his head making his fall flat out to the ground. Crystal had managed to push her captor backwards and I then finished the job by punching him also in face causing him to fall unconscious

"Do something!" Daniel Kelly shouted at the man who held Sky. However instead of moving to stop us, he stepped away from Sky and pointed his gun towards Kelly himself.

I immediately ran over to Sky. I pulled her into bone crushing hug, never wanting her to leave my arms for another second again for as long as we live.

"We're going to be OK." I promised Sky as I whispered into her ear and gently kissed the top of her head.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Daniel Kelly shouted at the top of his voice.

"I'm sick of working for you, no more!" The guy said with confidence.

"You stupid mere mortal. You are nobody important; you really think you can kill me? Pathetic."

Within a second the guy was flung across the room with a flick of Kelly's hand. He smashed into the wall with a deafening sound, a stark contrast to the earlier silence. As he hit against the wall his gun flew out of his hand and landed on the floor with a clang. I reached for the pistol and held it up Kelly.

Caught off guard he showed his true fear at the situation. Kelly raised his hand in the air and took a step back.

"Hold on a minute, think about what you are doing her. Could you really kill a man?"

"A man? No. but a pathetic excuse for a life who prays on the misfortune of others and threatens and harms the people I love? Well, killing you will be a pleasure."

BANG!

Daniel Kelly was knocked backwards as the bullet impaled into his forehead. He dropped to the ground within an instant, blood forming around his head.

My entire body shook with what had just happened.

I just killed Daniel Kelly.
