    Summary

    This is what happened: years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her.

    It happens, sometimes.

    People disappear.

    But years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her. Then, they thought that they might have found her again – because Rumi was everything they once had, because she was the third hunter, because her soul was bound to theirs like they were to each other.

    They never asked, in the end.

    What had happened that made the other woman slip away like she did.

    But it never did feel completely right, after, despite everything. Because Rumi was there but she also wasn’t, because she laughed and joked with them but never quite fully, because she would lean into their touch sometimes and then shrink away from it the next moment. Because she had walls all around her, and rarely, if ever, took them down.

     

    Rumi had always been scared of something.

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (Or: the bond between the hunters tells them of each others emotions, each others pain. Rumi, naturally, decides that her sins are hers alone to carry, that she cannot burden the other two with them. But such secrets rarely stay hidden.)
