First I want to say thank you to the Danish wellwisher for your review – Thank you for your kind words. And also a big thanks to InsanityInsanity, who is now following this story. This is a long chapter, and I would totally understand, if someone may hate me a bit. But remember everything happens for a reason. So please review and tell me, what you think.

There's a little secret
I would like to tell you
There's a book of lies
I know they'll try to sell you
And they'll try, and they'll try
To convince you to buy you need 'em
So the next time you're down
Look inside not around.

- "Bless myself" by Lucy Hale

Denmark – April 2015:

"So could you hear me?" I whisper into Victor´ ear.

"Yes, I could." Victor whispers into my ear as he learns towards me for a kiss. The way he is looking at me is like I am the only one for him. I hope that he has never looked another woman, as he is looking at me. He looks at me and kisses me. Kisses me like there is no tomorrow. The kiss is hot and full off passion and desire. Victor breaks it off and looks at me with eyes full off promises and hopes. I smirk and lean forward to place a soft kiss on his lips. Really I am just teasing him. I laugh, when I see his face. He grabs me and says with a voice full off desire: "Damn woman, if you are going to do something, do it right." Then he places his lips on my and kiss me like he is a dying man, and this is his last wish. I do not know how long we just stand there kissing. It could have been a minute, an hour, a day and a year. It just feels like time stopped, or maybe we just got lost in one other. After the kiss is over, I look at him. He looks at me.

"Come on, let us go."

"Where are we going?" Clearly Victor does not like the idea of going anywhere.

"I do not know about you, but I do prefer you in one piece instead off in as many pieces, as my brothers will separate you into, when they find you and I standing out here kissing like teenagers. And trust me, they will find us."

"I did not think about that."

"Well, good I did. Come on. I do not want you to meet my children like this."

"Yeah, you said that you have children." Victor´s voice is neutral, which makes me a bit nervous.

"Do you have a problem with me having children?" I ask, because women having children is sometimes a big thing for guys. Why I do not know. I do not understand why I myself am so interested… I thought I was in love with someone else… I guess I was wrong. But that does not explain why I care so much about, what Victor thinks. I have never before cared about, what other humans thinks about me or my way of life. But when it comes to Victor I care.

"No, should I?"

"I guess not."

"How many do you have?"

"Ten." I lie smiling.

"Ten?" Victor says. Nervous.

"Yeah. Scared?" He nods, and I laugh.

"What is so funny?"

"I only have five without Athal, my oldest brother´s son, who is like my own son."

"Only five without Athal– well it is not ten, so it is a start. What are their names? And is there a father I should be scared off?"

"Jessie, Hikaru, Kaoru, Valerie and Deke. No, there are no fathers you should fear."

"Fathers? Plurals?" Victor asks. I think I am scaring him.

"Yeah. Jessie´s father is dead. Valerie and Deke´s father is still alive though, but he is in Russia and has almost none contact with his two children. All that man cares about is his other son – not Deke – but William, my stepson. His mother is no longer alive. Drug overdose. " I say, while thinking about Zuko. I shake my head.

"What about Hikaru and Kaoru´s father?" I look away from Victor.

"They are adopted, and none of their parents is still alive."

"Oh. You are sure you are at my age?" He asks, and I smile, because it is not the first time I have been asked that.

"What do you mean?"

"Most women my age does not have five children – where two of them are adopted plus a career."

"What are you saying?"

"How do you have it all?"

"I do not have it all. Yeah, I have children, I have career, but I still live with my brothers. None off my marriages has ever lasted longer than 3 years. I do not have it all. I am not perfect, because perfect is not a thing."

"Marriages?"

"Yeah, two. I am scaring you, am I not?"

"A bit."

"I am sorry."

"It is okay. It is just a lot of information. That is all."

_ _One week later_

I have now "known" Victor for a week, and what a week it has been. For the first time in a long time I have been truly happy – I have off course been happy, when I am with my children and each one off my husbands – Well most the second one, Zuko, due to the fact that James was a psychopath, who made me think I loved him + our marriage only lasted about 12 – 20 hours, before he got himself killed, which Lucy may or may not be involved in. Me being happy – I know, how I have to thank for it. Victor. It is a bit awkward in the beginning, but it does not take long, before Victor and I are pretty familiar with one other and one other´s bodies. I have not introduced him to my children. Not yet. I believe it is too early, and Victor seems to understand that, which I am glad for. I am lost in my own mind, what brings me back is the kisses, which where is raining down on my neck. I blink and see Victor. His mouth is so close and yet so far away. What to do about that? I can only think off one way: To kiss him. Victor seems to like the idea. A lot to be presides. My arms are around his neck, only trying to get him closer towards me. In this moment everything is as perfect, as it can be. And off course Athal just had to ruin it.

"Auntie, please stop. You are traumatizing me for the rest of my life." Athal says. If a look could kill, Athal would be lying dead on the ground.

"Summer, please do something about him." I say and keep kissing Victor.

"She is calling Misty, her best friend."

"Ooh Misty. I miss her and her truth telling mouth." Victor says. Why can Athal not just go away?

"Ooh, you like truth tellers?" I ask Victor – totally ignoring Athal.

"Yeah, I do. I find they refreshing. Why?"

"Deke, my son, is a truth teller." I say looking at Victor.

"I am looking forward to meeting your children. They must be…" Athal is rude and interrupts Victor to say: "Lucy, Angelus is kissing a stranger." I give Athal the killer look.

"Do you want Victor to die?" Athal says.

"Who says I want that?" I give him the look.

"Fine, do not kill me! I want to take Summer on a date."

"Yeah, that is a good idea. What is the problem?"

"I need money, and someone to drive us."

"Go ask your parents."

"Father is out hunting with most off his brothers. Liz is at work. Mother is out with her friends. So that leaves you."

"Lucky me. Fine, I will pay and drive you, if you every day in a mouth plays for Lucy, and you will be my nanny for the children whenever I ask for it for the next 7 weeks."

"I cannot do all that by myself."

"Does Summer not deserve to go on a proper date?"

"She does."

"There you have your answer."

"Making deals with you is like making deals with the devil."

"I can tell you why."

"Please do."

"Well, you see I am the devil."

"I could have told you that."

"Now go. I have something importing to do."

"What?"

"Kissing Victor."

"Please, did you really need to say that?" Athal says. I look at Victor, and I kiss him.

"Could you not in least wait to do that, till I am not here? God, the two off you are like horny teenagers. What would you do, if someone like Lucy, Anubis, Jack or Wrath saw Victor kissing you? They would kill him. Literally. If any off them saw you, they would kill him. Lucy, Anubis, Jack and Wrath would do more than kill him, you know that. So why are you not more careful?" You will hear the truth from children and drunken folks. If any off my brothers sees us, they would kill him.

"What would you suggest?" I ask Athal.

"What do you mean? I am not the only one in this fucked up family, who does stupid things." Athal says, while looking at me.

"Haha, what should I do? And I do not do stupid things."

"I am not the one, who tried to burn down the house at age 7." Athal says.

"Ooh, please you were even born at that time."

"Did you try to burn down house down, when you were 7 ages old?" Victor asks.

"Well, it is a funny story. We are playing 'Truth or Dare', and Anubis dared me to burn down the house…"

"How are 'we?" Victor asks.

"My brothers and I."

"Where were your parents?"

"Well my mother died in childbirth, and my father drank himself to death 5 years later. So my brothers and I were raised by nuns. Let us just say they did not care about, what we did."

_5 days later_

Silence before the storm. Victor and I have had some good time – almost two weeks – together, before all Hel breaks lose. We have learned a lot off random facts about one other. Victor prefers strawberry ice cream instead chocolate. I do not know why. He runs every morning at 7 am. He wants children (We would have some problems; if he does not want children giving I have 5 without Athal, who is just as most my son as anyone off my children.) Victor can seem a bit scary sometimes, but he has a softer side – Like when he is with his brothers. Summer has become like a little sister to Victor, like her one off her best friends, Misty.

"Good morning, Angelus." Victor says and kisses me. I look at him with sleepy eyes and then at the clock. 7:05.

"Morning. Should you not be out running, or was the whole I-run-at-7-am-every-morning just a lie?" Victor looks at me and says: "I would never lie for a beautiful woman, nor will I leave a beautiful woman lying alone in my bed. So in this case my principles got the better off me. Angelus, we have now known one other for about two weeks, and I… I love you. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life – laughing, crying, hoping, and fearing – with you. I know two weeks is not a long time, but I am not sure I will ever have enough time with you. I know I will never have the time with you I wish for. I am not asking you to marry me, not yet... My parents, my brothers and their soulfinders are coming today. So I am asking you to meet them. Meet them as my soulfinder, if you would?" I look at Victor. This means a lot to him.

"I love you too. And I have enjoyed having you all to myself, but you are right: It is time. Why do we not tell them at dinner? Everyone will be there: Your family and my."

"Good idea."

"I am full off good ideas, and I know there is a very long time to breafast. There is even a long time to dinner. I have just the idea, how to spend it."

"Ooh, you do. Why does that not surprise me?" Victor says and kisses me.

"Will you come back?

No one knows.

… I realize it was only just a dream!

Oh, I miss you, when I learn?

Didn´t give you all my love

I guess I got my payback.

Hey, you were so easy to love.

But wait

I guess love wasn´t enough.

You made a decision that you wanted to move on.

Cuz I was wrong."

Just a dream is playing in the back as the Benedict family´s arrival.

'They are here, so be nice towards them. Do you understand, Angelus?' Anubis asks me.

'Yeah, I got the message, Al.' I will be nice to them for Victor.

'Victor, Anubis just told me that they are here.'

'Thank you. I am on my way.'

My children and I go towards the living room, where my family are waiting for us. We go to our rightful place, where we stand and wait. They are coming. The door is opening and in comes the Benedict´s. And my, there are a lot of them – Most of them look like Victor. I look for Victor… but I cannot see him. Then I do. I see Victor standing with a woman – Brunette, pretty and also pregnant. Who is she? Maybe one off his brothers´ soulfinders. But every one off his brothers is here and so is the soulfinders, who are found. Only one off them is standing alone. Will, I think his name is. There are Trace, Uriel, Victor, Will, Xavier, Yves and Zed, if I remember right. I wonder who she is… the woman. I look at her and watch, as she kisses Victor. I mean she did not just kiss him, no she snogs him. Who is she? I want to kill her, before I know it; we are going to the dinner room. My inner is in chaos. I want to kill her. I have ever wanted to do something so much in my life.

'Who is she?' I ask Victor in my mind.

'Well you see…'

'Who is she, Victor? It is a fairly easy question. Who is she?'

'She is my girlfriend, but…' I cut off our talk. I have heard more then I needed. So that is, who she is… Victor´s girlfriend. And she is pregnant. I feel sick like I am going to throw up.
