Wrickenridge, Colorado, Friday 12th November, 6:38pm

Will stared at me in what could only be described as complete and utter shock. Before throwing his head back and allowing a belting laugh to escape his mouth.

Leaving his family standing in a confused daze, he ran forward, picking me up and spinning me around in a circle.

"Hello soulfinder" He smiled.

Having heard his words, Saul, and his wife let out a gasp, and a 100-watt smile crossed Saul's face. "Welcome to the family sweetheart," He said, patting my shoulder as he passed into the other room, his wife in tow. Victor also passed us, shaking his head and muttering his disbelief under his breath.

Soon it was just me and Will in the entrance of the Benedict home, and I felt my cheeks flush as I realised I was still in the arms of the gorgeous Benedict boy. Wiggling out of his grip, I only found myself pulled back even tighter.

"Hey" He whispered, "I have waited so long to find you, don't ever think I am letting you go"

Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to indulge in a few more seconds of what was one f the happiest moments of my life before I pulled myself away from Will with more strength this time.

Drawing a deep breath, I prepared myself for a broken heart all over again as I smiled sadly.

"I never thought I would ever find my soulfinder," I said softly, smiling sadly at Will. Not noticing my tone, Will nodded ecstatically.

"I know! I felt the same, but here you are! I promise I will do everything I can to make you happy Jessica" He exclaimed reaching out for me again. However I stepped back, away from his and he finally caught on to my hesitance. "Jessica?"

Drawing what seemed like my hundredth deep breath, I placed my hand on Will cheek. "I can't be with you Will"

The lottery winning smile dropped from his face, as he looked like a kicked puppy. "Why-why not?"

I felt a tear slip down my cheek as he continued. "Is it because of the good looking comment - because I swear, it was only a joke. I am not that stuck up. Please if I have done something to offend you, we-we can't sort it out." He paused before stepping forward. "I've only just found you" He whispered, his voice breaking.

Clenching my fists, I closed my eyes and drove the knife in. "No, that's not it Will, I don't want to be your solfinder because... because you're not good enough."

Will took a step back as if he had been hit by a bullet. Staring at me for what felt like an eternity, his eyes hardened and his face became impassive. Then without a word he turned around and walked up the stairs.

I stayed standing until I heard the slamming of his door, and then I collapsed to the floor. Letting the tears stream down my face, I momentarily forgot where I was as I cried, and cried. I cried for Lola, for Will and most of all I cried for myself. However with my huge, gut wrenching sobs, it wasn't long until a small blonde girl found me a crumpled mess on the floor.

"Hey, don't cry!" she said dropping to the floor with me, stroking my hair as I cried into the complete strangers chest. "Your colours are all sad!"

I don't know how long we stayed like that either, but nobody else came out, and when I finally calmed down, the small girl - who was surprisingly strong for her size - pulled us up from the floor.

She smiled kindly "I'm Sky, now I bet it's been a long day, common I'll show you to your room. The rest of the introductions can wait until tomorrow." and with that, she led me up the stairs.

She asked no questions as we walked, and for that I was grateful. Instead kept a tight grip on my arm, as though she believed I was going to drop any second - she was right. I felt overwhelmed by the kindness of a girl that didn't even know me. She reminded me of Lola to that extent.

Another tear rolled down my cheek.

We stopped outside a modest guest bedroom and the girl led me inside. Switching on the light as we walked in, she let go of my arm and turned to face me, a bright smile on her face.

"There you go!" She said cheerfully. Noticing she wasn't receiving much more than a grunt for me, her calmed face smiled softly. "I can't even imagine what you're going through from what I have heard you've been to hell and back" She whispered. "But what you just did to Will - it will haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't fix it."

Looking at the girl, there was no sign of malice in her face at all, in fact, it was the complete opposite. Settling down on the bed, I nodded. "I know," I said, my voice still croaky from crying. "But at least, he will be alive... you don't understand, everybody around me dies" I don't know what compelled me to trust Sky. However, I had just opened up to her in a way I had never had for anybody before. Saying the words out loud, I felt great shame and disgust at myself. For ages, it had remained my dark secret, and now that it was out, everybody would realise exactly how evil my presence was.

Shaking her head vigorously, Sky sat down next to me, tucking her feet beneath her. "Jessica, you don't even know how wrong what you've just said to me is! Death doesn't follow you! You have just had a crappy life. I know exactly how you feel, god, I used to feel the same. You can't let fear rule your life, though. I promise you, nothing will happen to Will; these Benedict boys are pretty tough you know. Plus your forgetting something"

"What" I sniffled, unsure of how to process Sky's advice.

"The soulfinder bond is stronger than any curse you think you have, it prevails above anything."

With that, Sky laid a small hand on my shoulder, before getting up and leaving the room, closing the large wooden door behind her.

The soulfinder bond prevails above anything.

Laying back in the haven of the soft, Benedict bed and closing my eyes I felt my head drown in mixed feelings, my body felt heavy and right before I drifted off I felt the soft tingle of the telepathic bond Will and I now shared.

You may be ready to give up on us Jessica Andrews, but I'm sure as hell not. Even if you can't yet, I will fight, fight for us, and fight for our future. I'm not letting any superstitious 'curse' get in the way of half of my soul.

and in that very moment, I couldn't help but feel complete and utter happiness that for once, somebody was finally fighting for me, and I didn't have to carry the weight alone anymore.
