Chapter 64 - Two souls in one body (1/2)

Lena turned around and spotted an old grandma behind the fenced area. She was on the other side of the garden. The fence was large walls but each section had a large circle cut with three bars.

”Are you asking for me?” Lena stood up and walked to the fence. She grabbed onto one of the bars with her hand.

”You are a blessed child.” The granny spoke softly.

Lena paused and just stared at the granny. She didn't say anything but just weakly smiled. 'What is this granny talking about?'

The granny suddenly grabbed her hand and stuck her face out of the space between the bars. ”YOU… are a blessed child!” She screamed to Lena.

Lena quickly moved back her hand from granny's hold. Lena was creeped out a bit. She smiled again and swiftly turned back to walk away.

'Yup, this granny is crazy… just walk away.' Lena thought to herself.

”You have two souls in one body.” The granny quickly yelled.

Lena stopped her footsteps and turned back to face the granny. ”What did you say?” Lena replied. The part about two souls in one body had gotten her attention.

The granny beckoned Lena to come back which she did but Lena made sure not to be too close this time to the fence.

”I can see it. You have one strong blessed soul emitting from your body. But in your heart, a dark soul resides there. Two souls in a body.”

”What does that mean?” Lena was curious. Ever since she arrived here, nothing had helped her obtain clues about her ”unique” situation.

She knew that some part of herself currently still had a presence of the old Lena. There had been some times she acted out of control.

”The dark soul controls the fate of the body.” The granny replied.

Lena was still not understanding what the granny was saying. She moved a bit close to the granny because the granny was talking soft again.

”A dark soul has a cursed fate... Those who are meant to hate you will forever hate you. And those who are meant to love you will forever love you. They can't break the cycle. And you cannot break the cycle either or bad things will follow you.”

”What bad things?” Lena asked. 'Was this granny referring to her kidnapping and what is now currently troubling the Shen family? Was it because of me?'

”If you defy your fate, you will suffer the consequences.”

”How do I break the curse?”

”Die and be reborn. Only then will your true soul be fully merged with the body.”
