All Sophie remembered was seeing the end of the records till a sea of white overwhelmed her eyes and blinded her. She blinked forcefully, shaking her head till her vision came back to her. She groaned, closing her eyes before the light turned her blind. She was confused, tilting her head to the side as she felt her wings spread out behind her, but with wind flowing above and below her. Was she flying? Sophie blinked her eyes as she slowly adjusted to the bright light, looking over to see the sun setting beyond the horizon. She looked down and gasped, seeing herself flying high up in the clouds. She chuckled happily, flying up and around in the sky. She couldn't believe this, she was flying. Actually flying! She floated on her back and looked on either side of her, seeing large white wings flapping behind her. She sighed contented, feeling every muscle and tendon flapping with the wind. Suddenly the wind brought her up, Sophie spinning back around and flying up into the sky. She brought out her hand and felt the water from the clouds, giggling happily as she flew up and around in the clouds. My gosh! She never felt this experience before! Soaring high in the sky in the clouds; she never wanted to come down, even if she didn't know how and why she was flying. She could barely recall why this had happened, but her heart never wanted to come down.
Slowly, but surely, she began to hear a faint sound from below. "… elp… help…" Sophie looked around and sighed, flying down as fast as she could to the faint sound in the distance.

Alistair yelped as he was pushed away, the demon screaming in pain as it was kicked by a foot in its face. The boy cling to his protector, looking up in shock as he saw the woman… or it was more a girl he realized with long auburn hair flowing down to the top of her chest and flowing in the breeze behind her. She was dressed in a long robe, a golden and black rope tied around her waist with silver sandals on her feet. She also had a long black cloak on, tied around her neck with the hood over her face only showing a large grin plastered on her face. The main features that captured Alistair's thoughts was the mystifying bright blue color coming from the girl's eyes and the glowing skull on her left hand. "T- тетушка?" Alistair gulped, "I-is that you?"
The girl shrugged and set the boy down, skipping over to the demon as he jumped back to his feet. "You're a little stinker arn't ya'h?" she giggled, holding her hands behind her back as her large white wings, a third the size bigger then herself, sending a large gust of wind behind her.
"Who the hell are you angel?" the demon growled, shielding his eyes from the bright glow emanating from the girl's body.
The girl snickered as she skipped a tad closer. "Sophia Serbus, but you can just call me Sophie for short," she giggled as she pulled a long black scythe from her back, much longer then her own body in comparison, "and you~ are going back to hell, see? Can't have you eating my possessions you bad little soul you."
"Wait now –" the demon jumped back, the girl swinging her scythe in front of her slashing the demon in the arm. He let out a scream, the girl pressing her foot onto his stomach and slamming him into the ground. Alistair scooted away in shock, completely confused to what had become of his Тетушка. He had felt her soul leaving and once his record was back in his body he ran after her, but… but who is this? This couldn't be Тетушка … could it?
The girl snickered again, standing on the demon's body and holding the blade of her scythe into the demon's neck. "Or rather~~" she began darkly, looming over the demon's face with a grin plastered on her face, "If you need a name to tell back to your master, call me Death you little gnat." Then she pressed the blade into the demon's neck and crunched into his bones, the demon's head rolling off of its body and blood spilling out onto the ground. Then the girl let out a sigh, jumping off of the demon's chest and aiming the blade into its chest. Raising the scythe high above her head she ran the blade through the demon's body, the demon combusting into black and white flames and disappearing into the ground. Alistair gulped, keeping his distance as the angel turned around covered with the demon's blood. "Oh poo," she pouted as she noticed the dripping red liquid on her clothes, "I'm all bloody again."
They looked over to see Alex running up the hill, pausing as he noticed the angel standing before them. "… W-who are you?" he pointed, cautiously walking over to Alistair and grabbing for his shoulder.
"My goodness you don't remember me?" the angel sighed as the crimson color on her clothing denigrating in the light radiating from her body. "Sophie of course. Geeze Alex you're a dolt aren't y –"
"Then why are you a child?" Alex said, pointing to Sophie as he gripped Alistair close to his body with his other hand.
"What?" the girl gasped, her wings sending a large gust of air onto the ground and throwing her into the air. She let out a yell as she came back down, landing with a thud before standing back up and dashing around. "I am! What is this… no wonder everything feels so large," Sophie snapped her fingers and realized. "But wait a minute; w-hat happened to me? What is this? Why am I like this?"
"Hang on," Alex put up his hands, "We'll figure this out… do you remember what happened?"
"Now that I think about it… I remember healing Alistair," Sophie pointed to the boy, "and then a bright light… a-and then I felt like I was flying and I really was! The wind was pulling me up into the clouds, but then I heard someone screaming for help so I flew back down and… y-yeah that's really it." She chuckled nervously scratching the back of her hand. Then she looked down, noticing the skull marking on her left hand. "Wait I get it!" she snapped her fingers. "My soul must have left my body and the soul that's remaining is that… other soul… oh gosh let's get back! Come on!" Sophie jumped up and down, grabbing Alistair's hand and pulling him back to the buildings.
Alistair let out a frightful yell as he was pulled along, Alex shaking his head and chuckling lightly to himself. "Same old Sophie I suppose," he responded under his breath, following behind them as Sophie led the way back to the infirmary.
"Alistair!" Rose yelled, pulling the boy into a bone crushing head before looking over at Sophie with wide eyes. "A-and who's your little friend –"
"My goodness will I have to explain every time?" Sophie stomped her foot and pouted, looking up and down the hallway looking for her body. "Where did my body run off to… oh this way! Come on Alistair!" she cheered, grabbing hold of Alistair's hand and pulling him away from his mother.
"Hey wait now Sophie! –"
"No time!" she tried to explain. "It ran down the hallway looking for food! Come oooooooonn!"
"Sophie?" Rose tilted her head to the side, dashing after them as Sophie pulled Alistair along down the hallway and through a few corridors. "Wait up!" Rose yelled as she tried to catch up with the angel running up and down the hallway, "What are you talking about –"
"My body and –" Sophie stopped, letting out a tired sigh as she scratched her forehead. "Hey I don't know what's going on here, but right now I need to track down my body. It must have run off somewhere being manipulated by the other soul. Where is it?"
"Really?" Rose sighed, trying to piece everything together. For all the weird situations she had ended up in, this was one of the weirdest. "Ummm… your self said something about going back to work and headed for her – I mean your office."
"Then let's get there!" Sophie yelled, pulling Alistair along as he let out a yelp. "Wait. It doesn't hurt, does it Alistair?"
"N-no actually," he chuckled as he was pulled along, "actually I haven't run this much in years! This is really fun uhmmmm… Тетушка."
"Yeah sure," Sophie gave him a grin, "Something must have happened with my aura or something… split apart? I don't know," she shrugged, "but let's get to the bottom of this."

"Hello Annalise~" Grell grinned as he turned around in his chair and faced the woman trudging up the stairs and sighing as she set her stuff at her desk. "Rough day?"
"You could say that," she sighed again, looking over and noticing a little brunette haired girl sleeping on Grell's lap. "Who's that? Babysitting~?"
"I'll have you know I am," he huffed, "and this is Alexander's little girl. Her brother is in the hospital right now and they didn't want to bring her along."
"Oh I see…" Annalise nodded, shrugging as she sat down in her chair to finish her paperwork. "So that Sophie person doesn't do work does she?"
"Well she has other things to do I suppose," Grell shrugged, "but whatever. You're here to help us right! So you can do the work –"
"Hey I'm not doing all~ of it," Annalise huffed, "only some – Oh look who the cat dragged in," she chuckled, noticing Sophie making her way up the stairs and coming down her floor.
"O-oh hi?" Sophie chuckled and waved, making her way over to her cubical and sitting down. She slumped over and sighed, flopping her hand over her face and groaning. "Oh gods," she grumbled under her breath, "where is it –"
"Where's what Sophie?" Grell asked, Sasha letting out a yawn and stirring on his lap.
"Maybe it's here," Sophie thought to herself, sitting back up and rummaging through her desk. She sighed, slamming her head into her desk and grumbling again. "What the hell? Are you in hell? I can't do this without you, you little –"
"There it is!" they heard at the end of the hallway, Alistair being pulled down the hall by a girl about the same height as Sasha. Annalise shied her eyes a little, feeling a sting going up her body once she noticed the light that was radiating off of the girl's body. "Hey you!" Sophie said as she pulled on her body's coat, "I'm down here –"
"Gratias dii!" her body yelled, grabbing Sophie in a tight hug and gripping her tightly. "Gratias, gratias dii! –" then it suddenly stopped, letting go of Sophie and slapping her across the head.
"Ow –"
"Why'd you leave me?" it sneered, "I can't get to the heavens without you Serbus… what'd you do?"
"What you don't know?" Sophie huffed.
"… No…" her body pouted, "I don't. I got rid of my infinite amount of knowledge, remember~? –"
"Hey isn't it more fun~ to figure it out?" Sophie giggled, jumping off of her lap and standing up on the ground. She scratched her head, completely confused with what was going on. Sophie pulled on her body's left hand and looked at the insignia, gulping once she saw the thorns engraving on the hand. "… Did something happen to my soul when I healed you Alistair?" she looked over at the boy, Alistair scratching the back of his head as he thought.
"W-well I don't know," Alistair shrugged. "From what I remember from the reading it said that your energy could be drained… so your soul was drained?" he shrugged again.
"Y-yeah I guess…" the two Sophie's said at once.
"But wait so I'm talking with you now?" the little Sophie blinked in confusion. "This can't be right can it? How long is this going to last –"
"I don't know as much as you," her body shrugged.
"God this is bewildering," Sophie sighed as she scratched her head, looking over at the Grell and Annalise, who were staring at them confused. "What now? I don't know how long I'll be like this –"
"Are you going to eat people or something?" Alistair asked as he pointed to Sophie's body, "Because mama told me you were coming up here to eat –"
"I'm hungry~~" her body groaned and slumped in her chair, "and I don't know what to do now –"
"The cafeteria has food –"
"Not that," her body shook her head. "I was talking about… I don't know what I meant by that," she blinked in confusion and looked to the ground. "… Oh I know! I want my soul back. That's what –"
"Well you know what," Sophie pouted, "calm down will you? I'll figure this out…"
"… What's going on here?" Annalise asked as Grell looked over at her with a sigh.
"It's better to not ask –"
"Hey Al!" Sasha jumped off of Grell's lap once she saw him standing in front of her. "Y-you're out of the infirmary now?"
"I hope so, yes," Alistair chuckled nervously. "Ummmm… Тетушка healed me… I-I think?"
"But aren't the Thorns of Death fatal?" Sasha looked up and asked Sophie's body, who only looked back at her confused.
The little Sophie sighed, pulling on one of her wings with boredom and brushing through her feathers. "Supposed to be," she began, "but I don't know… I tried something and it worked, but I feel tired now."
"No kidding," her body yawned and stood up. "I'm going to bed then –"
"Where?" Sophie asked.
"I don't know," her body shrugged and stretched her limbs, "but somewhere… the woods… a cave… somewhere outdoors I suppose. What exactly should I do host?"
"Host?" Sophie snorted. "I don't know! Dig yourself a hole in the cemetery and bury yourself for a while? I don't know… what do you want to do?"
"M-me?" her body pointed to herself. "Ummmm… I'm going to go sleep in the woods. I'll come see you when I wake up."
"Good," Sophie nodded, "fine. Go for it. Just don't bother anything and anyone –"
"Don't worry I won't do that," her body chuckled. "Don't get eaten little soul. You'll be back before you know it." She gave them a wave and began walking down the stairs with a skip in her step, a sigh escaping Sophie's throat as her bright blue eyes wandered over to Alistair.
"Ummm… I don't know…" Sophie looked away confused, "W-what to do…"
"Sophia what's the meaning of this?" they turned around, seeing a young boy with short auburn hair and blue eyes as bright and pure as Sophie's. He looked to be a twelve year old boy, but was fairly short for his age. "And why do you have wings? What's going on –"
"How about you tell me?" Sophie huffed. "I don't know… I-I cut Alistair's record up, b-but then I blacked out and woke up flying in the air and… I don't know! My body just took off and wants to go sleep in the woods somewhere. How about you ask it?"
"Oh is that all?" Marius chuckled. "Makes sense I suppose… well whatever," he shrugged, "you want an explanation. Yes? When you used your energy on the boy your soul split in two because of the energy being used. You converted energy from your soul to complete it and… w-well your split off I guess and you were flying up to heaven."
"W-wait I was?" Sophie blinked in confusion scratching the back of her head. "So… I was actually dead for once?"
"Yep," Marius grinned, "and you still are! You're a ghost right now okay? Your soul just morphed into a human form I suppose… if you'd call that human."
"… How do you know that?" she raised an eyebrow.
"W-well," he grinned nervously, "I-I'm still technically dead, but Death is the one who is letting me live here… or he said it was you who was doing that, but I don't know what he means," he sighed. "How about you come with me?" he held out his hand to her, "And stop summoning those wings. You're scaring people."
"Oh I am?" Sophie looked over, noticing how Annalise was trying to shield her eyes from her glow. "I'm sorry Annalise!" she frowned, closing her eyes and fluttering her wings behind her. Slowly the wings disappeared behind her, Sophie's eyes opening back to a crystal blue and shinigaimi green glow. "I-is that better?"
"Y-yeah thanks," she sighed scratching the back of her head. "I am so confused right now…"
"It's alright," Marius said as he grabbed Sophie's hand, "everyone is. Come on already – Oh! Alistair and Sasha. Your parents are on their way up the stairs. They had just stopped by Sophie's body. You can explain everything to them I suppose," he smiled to them, the two of them nodding at his information.
Sophie grabbed hold of Marius' hand, a smile coming to his face as he turned for the stairs. "Hey wait," she stopped him, "let's go to Margaret first."
"W-wait why?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?... Ummmm… I don't know~" Sophie grinned happily, swaying back and forth before she got bored and dashed for the stairs. Marius let out a frightful yell as he was pulled away, Sophie waving to them as they dashed down the stairs.
