Your Name?

Chapter 13 Your Name? Panicked, Kailey tried various methods to return to her body. She attempted to merge with it, she tried to wrap herself up with her body, but that didn't work. After hundreds of failed attempts, feeling apathetic, Kailey's last hope was to attempt to create an opening that she could use to enter her body. She brought up her hands as high as she could and brought them down with every ounce of her strength. However, the motion was futile, because she still couldn't even touch her body. The disappointment of hundreds of failed attempts left Kailey feeling frustrated and on the verge of giving up. She let herself drift in the air, limp and dispirited. Suddenly, a thought struck her: 'Why did my soul leave my body? Why did my entire body feel like someone was using a dull knife to skin the pelt of a dead animal? Surely something was left behind during that process!' With this thought in mind, Kailey gained a new vigor and decided to search for what her soul might have left behind during her ordeal. Seeing herself some distance away from her physical body, Kailey began to fly back towards it. After a whiles flight, she returned to the area with the table and chairs. There, she saw the teacher, who was completely engrossed in examining the object in her hand. Kailey instinctively realized that it was a fragment of her soul, confused by this she went and descended to greet the teacher wanting to know what she found out about the soul fragment. While Kailey was descending from the air, the teacher finished her inspection. When she looked up to stretch her neck, she was taken aback to see Kailey land right before her, startling her. The teacher then expressed her annoyance at being surprised without any warning. While Kailey was taking the brunt of her hostility, she tried to placate the teacher with a question, "Do you mind if I ask what your name is?" With this question in the air, the teacher finally calmed down enough to disclose her name. "I am Aleshia, a magician who wields the powers of the elements - an Elemental Witch, you could say. Now, since I have introduced myself, what is your name, little miss?" Surprised by Aleshia wanting to know her name, Kailey proudly proclaimed, I am Kailey an apprentice witch, I was cursed when I was born, by a person who was presumably perusing immortality!"
