Soul Cleanser Novels & Stories

“Sofia died because she was weak. Mercy is weakness. You proved that when you let the Morettis walk away.” She opens the case. Inside: three vials. One blue, one amber, one clear. The final pieces. “With these and the key you carry—” her eyes flick to me, standing now in the doorway beside Dante and Rocco—“we finish what was started. A targeted cleanse. No more tyrants. No more families like the ones who sold her out.” I step forward. The years fall away for a second—I’m back in that first auction room, staring at Sofia’s face on a screen, helpless. Now her ghost stands in two women: one who chose healing, one who chose fire.

I was impressed. She began with the cleansing ritual. From a small, leather pouch slung around her waist, she pulled out a handful of herbs, their earthy aroma filling the air. She ignited them, sending a fragrant smoke spiraling upwards towards the ceiling. The smoke swirled, a living serpent, weaving its way through the room, cleansing the air of negativity, carrying away the shadows that clung to the walls.

Sometimes, the body remembers what the soul tries to forget. It wasn't the pain that broke me, but the way my body stopped belonging to me. Every unwanted touch was another crack. A piece of me vanishing without a sound. I arrived to Chicago months ago, and I still struggle to breathe. This city doesn’t embrace me—it watches me. Everything is clean, cold, precise. Neon lights flicker like fake stars, and the rain hits the windows with military discipline. It’s a world built to function, not to feel.

She closed her eyes and allowed herself to be enveloped by the warmth, the steady rhythm of the water easing the tension that had knotted her muscles for days. As Sarah lathered her hair with shampoo, she felt the weight of the past few days begin to lift from her shoulders. The thick layer of grime and grease that had accumulated in her hair washed away with each rinse, leaving behind a sense of cleanliness and renewal. She scrubbed her skin with the bar of soap, relishing the sensation of the suds against her skin as she worked to rid herself of the dirt and blood that had clung to her for far too long.

“After I was in the river, I heard a voice. It said: To free the one you seek, you must first cleanse your soul of your sins. Only those with a pure soul can receive the gift of restoration.” “What happened?” Hunter asked, but I was more interested in whether Zeke was able to get Hunter’s memories back or not. “If I was going to have any luck with getting your memories back, I knew I would need to take the risk and be willing to sacrifice myself. For a while, I felt as if I was constantly drowning, unable to break through the surface. When I finally calmed down, my soul split eight times. Other than my conscious soul, seven other souls with each of my sins vanished.”

The person at the edge of the pool finally spoke up. “You’ve offended somebody you shouldn’t have. That person has sent me to torment you.” Before I could say anything, I was tossed back into the water. It happened many times. Every time I felt like I was about to drown, I was lifted out of the water. Finally, I was left on the ground as my tormentor made a phone call. “It’s done, boss.” I could hear Connor on the other end of the line. “Leave immediately. I’ll deal with the rest of it.”

A huge red demon with the body of a muscular and furry beast and the head and neck of a python emerged from the ground. The soul looked surprised but then continued sitting and showing an 'I don't care' attitude. Of course, it would behave like that because it was a soul and felt that it wouldn't be touched by anything. But I knew that this demon can definitely cause harm to it because the mirror summons demons according to my situation. The demon reached out and tried to grab the soul in vain. The soul laughed at the demon's attempt and laughed at me as well. To my surprise, the demon laughed and the spat a black sticky substance at the soul.

I looked up, who would be trying to enchant me? “You’ll need to do a cleansing spell on yourself and then a protection spell that will block the enchantments. The cleansing spell is easy, you’ll need alteratives to cleanse your blood and lymph to enable them to rid your body tissue of toxins that the enchantments could have left.” What the hell was alteratives?

"I'm sorry." "It's okay. He says you'll be fine regardless. I'll take you to the bathroom to soak in the hot tub." "Okay." I nodded, wanting to soak myself and just clear my head. I didn't know what was happening to me lately. It felt like my internal organs were a mess. "I'll get another female caregiver for you. She's going to help you take care of your spiritual well-being. Rhodes suggested that's what you might need," Reis muttered. Spiritual cleansing. I definitely did need that. I closed my eyes, allowing the warmth of the water to soothe my skin.
