Hazel came son from the bed, taking a glass of water and gulping it down, she then remembered, she hasn't done much in learning the water element. She sat back on the bed, pouring some water into the glass again as she sat. She chanted some spells with her eyes closed, concentrating in the water. She kept chanting and the water slowly came out of the glass hanging in air, her eyes were closed, so she Diem notice it. She was still at it when Elliot entered the room
"Oh my" Elliot said distracting Hazel and she opened her eyes, she first gave him a disapproving look before looking at the water to see it floating in air with eyes wide opened "that's amazing Hazel"
"I know" she answered distantly
"You didn't notice it before?"
"No, my eyes were closed"
"You did absolutely well!"
"I guess I'm getting the hang of it now...." She said still looking at the water, after some time it stopped floating and splashed in the bed, not much though since there wasn't much water "...what brought you here anyways?" She asked Elliot
"Just came to check in my mum" he cooed
"Nice of you"
"You found out who the masked man was?"
"Yeah, and I wouldn't have guessed it"
"Life is full of surprises"
"That's right, take a look at mine for example. I'm a white witch, and I do find that hard to believe some few times, also, I never imagined loving a demon, but look now, then, I'm speaking to a creature from the land of the dead...."
"The Barrier" he corrected
"Whatever, also, my dad's a switcher, he isn't Lionel but Morgan, not my mums lover but my dad, what a twist of family, then, I'm being chased by people I did absolutely nothing to. Also it surprising that others can't see your specie in their reaper form"
"I don't get the last one"
"Can a mortal see a reaper?"
"No"
"Then why can I?"
"Cause I allowed you to see me in my reaper form, that's why. If I don't want you to see, you wouldn't"
"But, the day Guilt and Barron came here, when they were leaving, they left in their reaper form and I saw, when I asker the maids if the can see it also, they looked at me like I was crazy meaning they didn't see anything, so I was the only one who saw them, and I'm sure, they didn't want me to, so why?"
"Really?"
"Yes, so, does it have to do with me being special?"
"No living can see the..."
"Creatures of the land of the dead or Barrier, I know, you've said that already" she interrupted
".....except the person is dead"
"Do I look dead to you!"
"I wasn't done talking"
"Sorry"
"It oy means you're dead or you have something connecting you to the dead"
"And what might that be?"
"...."
"What?" She raised a brow
"If I'm not mistaken, your soul is"
"My soul? How?"
"I don't know how, but your soul is not fully complete her in the living, I guess the other half is at the Barrier"
"Half of my soul? Does anything you say make sense to you?"
"Try and remember, did you ever have a near death experience" he encouraged
"I can't remember anything of such" she replied after giving it a thought
"You have to"
"Well, I don't, maybe it happened when I was little"
"Then you should ask. I think half of your soul is at the Barrier and that doesn't mean good"
"Why?"
"She may try hurting you"
"And why would she? She's me and I'm her, were one soul"
"No doubt about that but you two have been split and I believe she's at the Barrier as a lost soul and trust me, lost souls parents friendly"
"Talk about another surprise" she murmured but Elliot heard " so how can I avid her or get rid if her, I have much in my head already"
"You can't get rid of her"
"....."
"We can only wait till she attacks first"
Oh come on, I should sit and wait till she comes?"
"That what we have to do, and by then, we'll know how to keep her off"
"Wow, I guess my surprises in life is complete"
"What do you mean?"
"I mentioned six earlier now with this, its seven...." She said making Elliot mentally face palm "..... I think I should give it a term... The seven surprises of life" that's it, Elliot face palmed himself really this time
