Wrong Room

They'll turn 21, they'll walk into the room and meet their "Chosen". The Chosen have linked souls, who call to each other for all eternity, until those souls finally meet. And when they do? Those lovers are unstoppable. Those lovers are unpredictable. Able to communicate in ways an outsider would never understand. Legend says, our souls have had many chosen over it's life, but there's always those outliers, those oddballs that will never choose another. Those souls? Those souls are dangerous.

Ashley has been feeling the pull from her Chosen and went to the Astros at 7, one of the youngest to do so. Something no one would ever know though, was that this wasn't a new feeling. It had been there for as long as she could remember. They harvested a small amount of her soul so they could search for her Chosen. This is a process everyone goes through, the Astros main job is to match chosen, but most people they see have reached their teenage years, 14-16 is the most common, so seeing 7 year old Ashley was a definite surprise. They were even more surprised when they found her chosen, pulling to her at the age of 9. But there was a catch, and they can't have catches. Thankfully, the Astros had 14 years to figure out a solution.

Raiell was excited to meet her Chosen one day, who'd woken her up as a baby so many years ago. It was 2 months after her 2nd birthday. As if her small, 2 year old soul was trying to claw it's way from her body. She'd cried a lot as a baby, unable to understand the feelings, around 4 or 5 she'd been to therapy more times than she could count, because she was just "different" as her mother said. only when she was an older child, around 9, could she form the correct words to tell her parents it felt like her "mind" were trying to leave all the time. It was her 14th therapist that suggested seeing the Astros, just to see. Her parents obliged and the news they came back with was devastating. So the therapy continued, and soon the medication followed.
