Not Dead

Chapter Eight - A New Discovery

Your P.O.V.

—-------------

As Gustav and I cuddle on the couch Bill comes into the room. He looks into my eyes for a moment before he speaks.

"Gustav I need to talk to (Name)." Gustav slowly lets go of me and I get up looking up at Bill. He motions for me to follow him. I follow him and he takes me to a room I have yet to be in. He opens the door and I'm greeted with a lot of books.

"A library?" He chuckles.

"I thought we could research the reason behind why you remembered." I look up at him worried.

"Are you gonna make me forget again?" He looks down at me.

"No, I don't think Gustav and Georg would let me." I smile.

"They better not. I don't think I'd survive without those two in my life." He chuckles.

"Okay, you start on the left I'll start on the right." I nod and head over to a bookshelf. I grab about ten books and start to skim through them individually. I finally get to the tenth book and I read the cover.

"Soulmates and soul ties." Weird title but maybe it'll help. I skim through to I get to a part that talks about how meeting your soulmate affects your abilities.

Meeting your soulmate may affect your abilities, possibly weakening or strengthening them. Abilities like mind manipulation will weaken for your soulmate, you will not have an easy time getting them to forget you. Meanwhile, things like manipulating their senses will increase. Be careful when manipulating your soulmate's senses because there is a high chance that the feeling will be more intense. Being around your soulmate will also strengthen other abilities speed and strength increase due to the soul tie that binds the both of you.

As I read further and further into the book a realization hits me. I start flipping through the pages looking for something specific. Then I find it.

Although rare there is a chance for one person to have multiple soulmates, usually when this occurs the group of soulmates in question have already formed a close bond of some kind. It is suggested that if you do have multiple soulmates to only choose one in order to keep your energy intact.

I close the book and stand up sighing. I need to show this to Bill. I head down the aisle of shelves that he went down. I find him sitting next to a small stack of books. He looks up at me.

"Did you find something?" I nod and open the book to the abilities section, handing him the book. Bill reads through it and his eyes widen. He turns to me.

"This can't mean what I think it does right?" I sigh and grab the book from him and turn to the multiple soulmates section.

"It gets worse." I hand him the book once more. He reads the section I turned to and his eyes go saucer wide.

"I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. I'm excited that you're my- I mean our soulmate but I'm worried what the others will think." I sigh.

"I'm the most worried about how Tom will react." Bill stands up and puts the book down pulling me into a hug.

"We'll figure that out when we get there dear." He pulls away for a second using his finger to tilt my chin up.

"For now let's put all these books back, we'll keep out this book though, just in case we need to do more research." I nod and go back to my section putting away all the books that I got out. I go back to Bill's section and he looks up at me from his spot on the floor smiling.

"Need some help?" He chuckles.

"Sure." I grab a few of the books and start setting them on the proper shelves. Except there is one book that goes on a shelf I can't quite reach. I stand on the tips of my toes trying to put away the book. I'm about to give up when a chest presses against my back. Bill reaches up and puts the book away for me. I stand normally and Bill doesn't move. He leans down whispering in my ear.

"I'm jealous that I don't get to keep you all to myself." He leaves a lingering kiss on my neck and walks away. I flush red but I follow after him heading out of the library. We head into the living room where the others are hanging out. I sit down between Gustav and Georg. Bill clears his throat and starts to talk.

"So we have some news. (Name) is our soulmate." Tom stands up abruptly.

"WHAT?! How?! She's human!" Bill walks up to his brother trying to calm him down.

"I know Tom. It's unexpected but aren't you happy we found our soulmate?" Tom shakes his head.

"I don't know, I don't know how I feel about all this. I need a minute." Bill calls out for Tom but Tom has already made his way to his room. Bill sighs and looks at the rest of us.

"Does anyone else have negative feelings about this?" I look over to Gustav who's shaking his head no. As I'm looking at Gustav I feel a hand on my thigh I turn to see Georg smiling gently at me.

"I think we're both thrilled actually." I smile at Georg pulling him into a hug. Gustav hugs me from behind and Bill just kinda stands off to the side awkwardly.

"Bill get ur ass over here, you're my soulmate too." He smiles and crouches down hugging the three of us. I let go of the hug and I'm met with three pairs of lips on me. One kiss on each cheek and one on my forehead. I flush bright red and I hear Bill and Georg chuckle. Georg speaks.

"You're gonna have to get used to that kind of stuff you know that right?" I nod.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to it." They laugh and Georg stands up.

"You guys ready to go to bed?" I nod yawning. Bill chuckles.

"You are so cute dear." I blush. I stand up and start walking up to my room. I grab my pajamas and head to the bathroom to shower and change. I come out and head into my room to see....Bill? This is new.

"Hey, is something wrong?" He shakes his head.

"Not at all Georg and I just decided to switch places today."

"And Gustav?"

"He should be coming back now." Right as he says that Gustav walks in the door. I smile at him and he comes over. Bill and I lay down and Bill pulls me into him placing a kiss on my shoulder. Gustav joins us and buries his face into my chest wrapping his arms around my waist. I fall asleep in the arms of two of my soulmates.
