“Oh, Danielle what have you done?”

I opened my eyes and brightness surrounded me. I adjusted to it and stretched my arms above my head, as comfort entangled me.

“What do you mean?” I asked Anarah, recognizing her voice at once. She stood at the side of my resting place, glancing down at me sadly.

“You’ve tampered with your soul in the mortal world.”

I sat up and dismissed her distraught mood. “You want to see something I learned?” I asked, and pointed to the side of the bed. She glanced over to a small end table that had manifested next to the bed with a fish bowl and a small beta fish swimming around.

“You’ve learned about transformation?” she asked with a hint of lightheartedness.

“I have,” I said with a smile, “Except that was supposed to be a goldfish. Still working on it.”

“What did you do to your soul?”

“Nothing, I’m just keeping the bad part in a safe place.”

“You are suffocating it,” she said, narrowing her deep green eyes.

“Anarah, I feel like you yell at me every time I’m here. How about if we start with a ‘Hey, how are you?’ I’m great. Thanks for asking.”

“This is not a joke, you are hurting a part of you and — “

“I will fix it when I can,” I said with frustration, “I just need it for now. One thing I also need is an answer from you.”

“If I have the answer to give, I will give it to you.”

“I need to know if someone has been removed from my mind.”

“I do not have that answer to give.”

“What does that mean? Do you know? Do you not know?”

“If you lose someone, I lose them as well. However, I do know or knew that something lingered here. However, not with the self of you that I see. It lies with your other half. I cannot access it at this time because you have it tied up somewhere.”

“Lingers how?”

“There was a feeling of almost. That moment before you remember something you had forgotten. That smell that takes you back to a time and place, but not a who or a why. A touch that you can almost feel, but not see.”

“That is what I am trying to find,” I said, dangling my legs over the end of the bed sadly, “I feel those things. I always assumed it was because I was damaged, but now I’m starting to think I lost something. That my mind erased it, but why? My grandmother mentioned intentionally removing people from her memory. I wonder if that’s what I have done. Maybe it’s not something that I’m supposed to look for. I want to resist my instinct to search it out, but the mere idea of the thought causes this unusual pure feeling to pulse through my veins. I think it’s one of the closest things to happy I have felt in a very long time.”

“If it is meant to be found, it will be, Danielle.”
