Sorry for not updating sooner! I have been really, really busy! I will try to update sooner! Here it is chapter 9! Enjoy!
I'm paralysed to the spot in shock. My soulfinder is a murderer. Jeremy has killed a person. How can that be?
"What are you talking about?" I question still completely confused as to how the guy who completes me, can be someone so bad. Is this why he said I'm better off without him? Ever since Jeremy has come into my life, my whole life seems to have only gone downhill. Not the fairy tale romance, I'd been promised I would find.
"I'm sorry, Amelia. It seems Jeremy has followed in his father's footsteps. He is known in connection with a murder case, but like Marcus we have no way of pinning it on him."
"Are you sure it is him? It could be the wrong person, just because of who his father doesn't mean he is necessarily the same." I say, trying to convince myself more than him. It must be a mistake. How can he be capable of killing a person? The Jeremy I know may be misunderstood, but truly he is kind and caring. Isn't he? He came here to see me and he was only warning me away because he didn't want me hurt by his dad. Right?
Then again, what do I really know about Jeremy? The guy takes mysterious to a whole new level. I only know his father is a criminal and now apparently he is too. I don't know anything about his mother, power, birthday, favourite song or colour; I don't know any of that.
"He is defiantly guilty."
"You really sure?" My voice quakes as I speak, feeling completely overwhelmed.
"Completely. I wish it was better news I was giving you, but you have to stay away from him. Hopefully now they are here we can pin the crimes on them and get them both locked up, once they are gone it will be easier for you to move on." Vic says with a business tone, not realising just how little comfort those words gave me. Move on. I'm just expected to move on, much easier said than done.
"Thanks." I mumble with venom and immediately hang up, not able to control my emotions anymore. Instead of tears and self-pity, I now feel anger. Pure rage races through me at fate, destiny, savants, soulfinder's and mostly Jeremy.
How can he do this to me? I clearly don't mean a thing to him. I have tried to be understanding of his situation, but the situation is that he is a killer. There is nothing more I can do anymore. Jeremy Valentine has destroyed my life.
"Amelia, what is going on?" My father's comes from behind me as he steps out from the house, still putting on his coat. Confusion and worry clear on his face as he walks towards me.
Usually seeing my father's face would instantly calm me and make me feel like nothing could hurt me, but now is completely different.
"Why did you lie to me?" I demand, now feeling betrayed by my own family.
"What are you talking about honey?" He's now stood right next to me, staring at me with pure puzzlement.
"You and mum raised me to believe that a soulfinder is the best thing in a person's life! Yet that's all a load of bull, soulfinder's are a curse…"
"…No sweetheart soulfinder's are…" My dad cuts me off, trying to calm me down but I continue still feeling the rage inside of me.
"No dad, you lied to me so much. You made me believe that soulfinder's are great when really they destroy you."
"Amelia, please would you just calm down."
"No!"
I expected my dad to return the anger but instead he just stares at me with pity and look of deep hopelessness.
"What's going on?" Luke walks out the front door, looking from me to dad trying to assess the situation.
"Why are you so lucky?" I shout at Luke, probably waking all our neighbours in the process but not caring one bit.
"What? What's going on Amz?"
"You get the fairy tale romance of soulfinder's, yet I'm stuck with a murderer! Why is this happening to me?"
"Murderer? What are you talking about?"
"Jeremy, he is a murderer. Uncle Vic just told me. Why is this happening?" My anger slowed to a quiet fume, as the situation hit me like a tidal wave, and turned into sadness.
I fell into my dad's arms as I broke down in tears and he gripped onto me tightly, steering me back into the house.
Luke led in front of us and we're meet at the door by my mum and Maddie, both clearly concerned.
"Amelia, honey." My mum's voice quaver's as tears brim in her eyes at the sight of me crying.
Dad continues to guide me a places me on the sofa and I bury me head in his shoulder, freely letting the tears fall.
"Amelia, what can we do?" Maddie asks stood at the doorway with Luke and my mum, but I don't answer. There is nothing she can do; there is nothing anybody can do. Luke looks over to my dad and they clearly have a telepathic conversation, with a nod from my dad, Luke takes both women away from the room, leaving just me and my dad.
I can't stop the tears and I don't want to. My dad simply pulls me tighter in his arms and whispers "I'm so sorry."
'I'm so sorry' the words admitting hopelessness and defeat and we both realise there is nothing that can be done. My soulfinder is a killer.
Sad I know! :( But I hope you enjoyed it none the less!
Please forgive me for the very late update; I will try to better in future! Review, follow and favourite!
