The bullies got worse when they found out Lance had a soulmate, a soulmate who doesn't take his pain away. They laughed and tested him by adding other cuts and bruises to make sure there thoery was right.

One day a special Ed teacher came to Lances class to talk about soulmates.

"Alright class, does anyone have any questions?"

"What does it feel like to get the pain taken away?" One of Lances bully asked.

"It feels like you are being cleansed on the inside." One boy said.

"It gives you a nice relief knowing that someone cares enough to help the pain." A girl said.

That's when all the kids looked at Lance knowing he has never felt that.
