"I know where your soul is," Malia said, looking down.

"That's great. Let's go find it," Dray exclaimed, looking relieved.

I smiled, nodding my head at him.

I have a bad feeling about this.

"No, first we need to talk," Malia stated, looking worried.

--------

"Thanks, Dad." I said as I closed the door to my room, "Here you go," I handed the glass of water to Malia.

"I think it's better if you hear about it from Bartholomew himself," Malia confessed slowly sipping on the water.

I looked over at Bob as I sat down next to Dray.

His eyes looked like they were about to bulge out.

"ME? Wha- Why me? I did nothing wrong okay? Stop looking at me like that." Bob freaked out.

"Bob, relax. What is going on with you?" I said softly as I walked towards him.

I gently laid my hand on his shoulder, "Are you okay? Take a deep breath."

He did as I asked before nodding, "I'm good, thanks."

I watched him as he took a couple more deep breaths and then shook his head mumbling something. *It's fine, I didn't know. It's okay. Let's just tell her. *

"Okay, I think I might have, possibly, by mistake, maybe, fucked up?" he said in a questioning manner before adding, "just a little... accidentally."

I tilted my head in confusion, seeing Dray do the same from the corner of my eye.

"So, what happened was... a while back, I met a witch named Dixie. She told me about your parted soul being 87-13 percent," he explained, looking at me as I slowly nodded.

I remembered Dixie, she seemed like a very sweet person judging from the three minutes of our conversation. After she left Bob was still very adamant about me fixing my soul.

"And you didn't tell me about it? Is that how you messed up? It's fine, Bob. You probably thought it'd make me freak out knowing more of my soul was missing." I comforted.

It's not that big of a deal. Why's he worrying so much over such a little thing?

"No, that's not all. A few months after Dixie had disappeared, I met another witch called Zuri," he stated, and I nodded for him to continue.

"Zuri had explained to me that it would be best to leave you, the way you were. She had stated that fixing you could do more harm than good... and I believed her. Which is why I was okay with your decision to stop finding your soul."

Dray held my hand in his and I smiled, gently squeezing it as I leaned closer to rest my head on his shoulder.

Still not seeing where he fucked up though...

"So... I'm guessing she was wrong?" I questioned, looking over at Malia.

"Yeah, Zuri was an idiot, as I've told Bartholomew here. The reason you feel empty is because most of your soul is feeling that way. It's all alone and can't even do anything about it... once you get it back, you'll feel complete and happy. But you won't be able to see one of them." Malia stated, pointing at Dray and Bob.

Most of my soul?

Won't be able to... Wait... WHAT?

"Wait.. wait. WHAT?" I questioned, confusedly.
