Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Sep 26, 2022

I was spaced out for a while when I thought of something. Maybe, I get anxious because I feel like no one would like my personality. I am terrified of saying the wrong thing or I would be too different from everyone, and I avoided it as a result. Without realizing it, my feet had brought me back into the house. I was outside of my room. I stared at the door. The only way I can improve my situation is to face it head-on. I took a deep breath and walked straight through the door, literally. Lenni2 was sitting on the bed putting her-my shoes on. "Hello," she smirked at me and stood up. "I want my questions answered," I said. "What did you do to me? Who are you?" She laughed. This laugh sounded sinister, grim, and intense. I can't get nervous, I need to stay calm. If I can't control my thoughts or emotions my anxiety wins. "Don't worry about who I am, you knowing won't change anything and it wouldn't matter. But because I pity you, I will answer some of your questions, but I can't promise you will like the answers." Whatever information she gives me I need to remember everything no matter what.

"First answer to your question from before. I possessed your body and kicked your soul out so you can't regain control."  She took some steps toward me. "Understand one thing, you can get your body back but it is highly unlikely." She walked away and went into the closet. Of course, my next question was going to be "how do I do that?", but I can tell she won't answer it. "Why do you have to do this?" I placed my hands in my pockets as I always have when nervous and felt the lavender that Manfred gave me. I remembered how calm it made me feel. I have to go thank him properly if he is still in the garden after this.

"I already told you not to worry about it." She spoke from inside the closet. "Thank goodness I am going into town today, what you wear is dreadful." she snarked. She came out of the closet wearing my black jacket with a single daisy on the left chest. "Are those the only questions you have for me? I do need to leave soon." I need to think of the questions carefully, I don't know what she will answer. "After the 3 days you won't be able to see me, does that mean I won't see you as well?" I asked. "The spirit and the human realms are the same. Lenni2 explained. They aren't two places but they aren't one place either, they coexist with one not being able to see the other. Sooner or later you will be able to see spirits near the place you used to live then, your eyesight will expand, almost like glasses, but we call it having your eyes awake."   I think that answered my question. "Think about it this way." She continued. " It's like a one-sided mirror. Being able to see inward but not outward." I nodded in understanding.

I think I had a final question. "Why answer my questions, or even talk to me?" I asked. Nothing she is doing made sense, she could've ignored me, and let me drown in ignorance, why bother answering the questions of someone's life you just stole? I stared at her waiting for a response. She was turned away from me. "I told you this earlier as well, are you this repetitive? I feel bad for you but me pitying you doesn't change anything. However, I can answer it simply with another question for you." She walked toward me and stopped 4 feet in front of my face. "What did you want more than anything in the world?" she asked. Before I could answer Dad called us from downstairs. "Lenni! Can you come down here for a sec?" He shouted. "Your time is up." She said. "Have fun Lenni dear, see you on the other side, or not!" She giggled. "Coming!" She shouted back. Lenni2 walked through me and headed downstairs leaving me with the fear of answering that question.

Did you know it is believed that humans started
as double beings? Having two heads, four arms, and
four legs in a single body.

They say Zeus grew jealous of these beings and separated them. Condemning them to spend their lives searching for their other half.
Interesting isn't it?

These separated beings longed for each other every day and sometimes without realizing it. It is said that in a majority of cases these beings would forget their other half, and continue to live on without them, not knowing the cause of that longing for something missing.

As interesting as it is, this story is not about that. So, why tell you? You'll have to read and figure it out.

Our story is with Lenni Rei. After wishing all her life to be the outgoing person she dreamed of being, she wakes up the next day to find herself facing an out-of-body experience. What will she do, what will she discover, and how will she regain her life? What would you do, if you were in Lenni Rei's position? I wonder if your choices would have been any different from hers.
