Flashback
Third person view

They arrived at the wooden door once again, the little girl clinging onto the beige coat the woman next to her, better known as her mum, was wearing.

"Why are we here mommy?"

"We will just visit a friend, sweetheart. She will fix things."

Fix things...

The door opened, revealing a young lady with long, raven black hair. Her emerald eyes were shining brightly and her smile made the little girl forget about her fear of this place. She didn't know why she was scared. She couldn't even remember ever being here but for some reason she felt uncomfortable. Like something would be taken away from her. Like something would be...fixed. Just like her mum said.

"Come on in."

"It happened again." Her mum whispered but the girl was able to hear her still.

"What exactly happened?"

The woman in the coat gulped.
"I looked away for just a second and next thing I know is that her arm has caught on fire while I was cooking. She had huge burns and passed out but when she woke up it wasn't her. She came through, Claire."

The other woman named Claire looked at her in concern but when she observed the girl, her facial expression showed confusion.

„Where are the burns?"

„What?"

"There are no burns, Marisol."

The mother of the young girl looked nervous.
"She...she made them disappear. The other half of her."

"Maybe she wants to protect her.."

"But we heard what would happen. This is going to be something bad. Something dark. We need to fix it." Marisol raised her voice a bit, sounding hysterical.

"I- I don't know how much longer I can do this. It will happen one day eventually."

"Until then, we have to oppress it. Please, Claire. I don't want her to grow up with that thing inside her. Let her have her childhood."

"Alright.."

She approached the little girl and kneeled down to her level, still doubting the choice of her mother.

"Hey sweetheart. Do you believe in magic?"

"Yes! Unicorns and fairies. Are you a fairy?"

Claire chuckled in amusement.

"Something like that. Let me show you some magic. Maybe you can be a fairy too."

The little girl smiled and followed the woman into a room. Before entering she was held back by a hand grabbing her arm softly.

"She won't feel anything right?"

"She won't even remember." Claire answered and her eyes showed sadness.

End of flashback

Y/n's POV

"Claire helped me oppress that alter ego of yours as I was too scared something bad might happen to you. I thought it would harm you."

"So you went there every time it happened but took away my memories so that I couldn't remember that place, Claire and everything to do with my alter ego?"
