Chapter 8 - Thoughtfully

 "okay! Sorry, sorry" Kelly said trying to quill the lady's anger, "hmph!" the lady scoffed as she continued, "either way, the reason you keep feeling empty is because your subconscious is fading bit by bit… your subconscious is basically made up of your memories both good and bad so that explains your feeling of emptiness", the lady answered, Kelly immediately realized something was off after the lady's answer, 'she just answered the questions in my head as though she knew what I was thinking, was it a coincidence? No it wasn't.' Kelly thought as she asked herself a question and answers her own questions, "I didn't 'just' answer your question, and it wasn't a 'coincidence' like you're imagining cause its real" the lady said, Kelly got scared witless after hearing her immediate response, "How did you know what I was thinking? and how did you know my name?", Kelly asked, feeling that the person in front of her, saw right through her like glass, which scared her, she also remembered that the lady also called her name too. "haha…that's a very funny question to ask someone who is levitating in the air while in a pavilion that's placed in the middle of an island that defies logic…" the lady said humorously, 'she does have a point' Kelly thought again as she scrutinized the lady in front of her, "Of course I do…either way that's because we share the same consciousness, so I can hear all your thoughts…it's actually very hard to explain…honestly, even I, don't know how I know these things, they just keep coming to me like I've known them all along, but the fact that I can hear your thoughts prove that other information that I have must be true too…" the lady said holding her chin in one hand while still holding the chick/bird in the other, ". . ." Kelly was silent not knowing what to say as she looked at the lady in front of her blankly and completely confused as she was extremely shocked with the news she was hearing, "I had felt your determination to live, I envy that… you wished to be as pretty as me, but I wish to have your courage, so that I could face the life and destiny I am unavoidably going to face…even I know that I'm a coward, for not willing to face reality but I guess this is our fate to begin with…I've seen all that you've been through just to get here, and it's not an exaggeration if I say you've been through hell, unlike me who's useless and unable to face the fate that waits me, instead I'm here hiding, without the slightest will to live or leave here, I guess you were right when you called me pathetic…" the lady said with a dry smile as her Silver eyes glistened with tears that threatened to fall out, the previously shocked Kelly sighed, finally regaining her senses after processing everything that was told to her, "what kinda personality do you possess that changes in seconds, I honestly don't have a high level of empathy so I might not be able to tell you what you want to hear or should hear but you seriously shouldn't be so self-depreciating, it is a fact that each individual have their own limit when it comes to bearing pain, so you shouldn't feel that you're unimportant or cowardly just because you can't overcome any obstacle but you'll only become that way when you don't try to solve that problem, so instead of dwelling in your self-pity, try doing something about your problems" Kelly tried to encourage the levitating lady, "besides, what do you mean by sharing a consciousness? Is that some kind of secret scientific experiment that I'm unaware of? And if you say we share a consciousness and that you can hear my thoughts then why can't I hear yours? and also you haven't answered my question of what this place is, and it's true that I keep feeling that I'm forgetting things, and right now I don't even remember experiencing those things that you claim, I had experienced, so tell me what the hell is going on?!" Kelly asked feeling more confused by what the lady had been saying, as each question popped up in her head, "it's just that all this doesn't make sense to me according to my logic" Kelly said again after catching her breath, "wow, that's quite a barrage of question, all I know is that, the form we are now is our subconscious state and this place is my subconscious realm, since you're in my own realm I guess you can't hear my thoughts. You said that you felt like your memories are fading, and that you couldn't remember how you got here right? Well, that's because you have left the realm that belongs to your subconscious after crossing the gap between life and death and had happen to come into mine with great effort, something totally impossible to do by an average person. There has only been some kind of ancient record of a legendary immortal cultivator from a long time ago who was rumored to have done this in other to come back to life, and defile the will of Fate" the lady replied to Kelly thoughtfully.
