Gold Lights

Chapter 18

"You... what?" Oliver questioned.

"well, you know the um, the- Jed?" Rayvon said and looked at the door. He had no idea how to word it.

The angel quickly popped his head around and looked at everyone to see if everything was okay.

Rayvon motioned for him to come over.

The angel hasn't been able to stop thinking about the bond and he was itching for everyone to know.

"C-Can you tell them what happened?" Rayvon asked, making Jed's eyes light up.

"Of course!" He beamed. Everyone looked at him while he cleared his throat. "So, about twenty minutes ago, the boys connected their bond. They told me not to say anything but it's clear that the change is a lot to deal with."

Oliver's mouth hung open as everyone glanced between the two kids.

"But..." Corey said, not quite believing it.

"They're only sixteen," Oliver said.

Vinny knew there was something going on, he just thought that maybe Rayvon had asked to kiss Luka like they discussed earlier, he didn't think it was something as big as this.

Panuleon stepped forwards and without warning, he put his hands on Rayvon's head and Luka's head. He closed his eyes and really concentrated.

"What's he doing?" Oliver asked while looking down at Corey.

"He's looking into their souls."

It takes a lot of concentration for him to do this but he had to see if they were telling the truth.

The boys stayed still as Panuleon began to frown. He was really concentrating but he has never felt anything quite like this.

A few moments went by before he gasped and stumbled back.

Everyone watched with concern, what did he see?

"Your souls," Panuleon said in shock.

"What is it?" Oliver asked.

"You know how I have my soul and Corey has his soul and they're merged together," He said, making everyone nod. "The kids don't. They just have one soul between them. They're not merged, they're officially one."

Everyone glanced at each other, this was big.

"But that's impossible," Duke said. "Two people sharing just one complete soul?"

The angel nodded.

"And the way it's combining you both is almost untouchable. The amount of power that's bringing you together is incredible."

"You should've seen what happened when it connected, I thought the house was going to fall down" Jed chuckled. "I have never seen anything like this."

Rayvon and Luka thought of themselves as two regular people, it's so hard to believe that something like this has happened to them.

"So it's official, they've connected?" Oliver asked.

"Yes," Panuleon said while looking at his son.

Oliver lunged forwards and wrapped his arms around them both.

"I can't believe it!"

Vinny shook his head and crossed his arms, he knew Oliver wouldn't be able to contain his excitement.

"You're soulmates!" He grinned and pushed them together as he ruffled their hair. "This is amazing!"

Rayvon was just happy to have Luka so close but they still were not aware of how big this actually was.
