Five Times Aarons Soul

Aaron is two years old and he remembers nothing. He pokes the scars on his chest, giggling because he doesn’t know what they mean or how he got them. He can feel a warm ball in his chest. He doesn’t know how it got there. He doesn’t know what it does. It feels too big for him somehow. It makes him laugh too loud, or cry too hard, or scream and scream and scream with no comfort. He reaches out to his mother, to share the warmth with her. But she looks at him and shivers. Aaron is two years old when he finds out his mother doesn’t love him.

Andrew and Aaron were once one child, torn in two to fulfil a faerie debt. But a human soul cannot be divided and Aaron took it all. Now he is left with a soul he cannot contain and he is looking for someone or something to be his anchor.
