"It was most definitely not you, okay?!"
"You didn't disappoint her. It's just...."
"Being...on this planet for more than five thousand years...it does things to one's minds."
Cienna would listen with eyes closed, she was trying to hold back tears, she couldn’t help but feel that it was her, as Julie tried to kill herself after the events that took place the night before, she hadn’t made things better for her soulmate, instead she had made things worse, made her miss her time her home.
While Cienna knew what it was like to be long lived she had only experienced just north of 200 years she had lived through many changes and sometimes felt the pull of times but she could honestly say that she had never wanted to die, but that could be attributed to the innate curiosity that nearly all fairies possessed, they wanted to see what comes next no matter what, it was incredibly rare that a fairy wanted to die.
"This? What's 'this'? Is it me? If it's that then Jules doesn't want 'this' either. If you mean a Soulmate,"
"I-I didn't want that either, okay?! Jules isn't just some Soulmate that happens to you...."
To be honest Cienna didn’t know what she meant by not wanting this, she didn’t want Julie or Erin feeling pain, she hated the fact that fate had made it so no matter what option she took she would cause pain, though her duality itself seemed a perfect match for the pair on paper it was disastrous on her emotions when dealing with the aftermath of it all, and she felt that this might be the same for Erin.
"I-It's hard to explain. You'll...you'll just understand. You can't outrun a Soulmate. A-And that's not even the worst part."
Cienna felt something inside herself drop as she faced Erins voice again.
“you… You…” she stuttered as he mind raced faster than her mouth could form words “You were Julies soulmate.” No sooner than the words had left her mouth than her wrist started burning again. Like before, If she could see she would have noticed the tattoo on her wrist had shifted slightly, while the dates had remained the same the name above the dates shifted in a state of flux as if by magic, if anyone looked at it they would notice Erins name was now in place of Julies, though Julies name was very faintly there below.
She would instinctively grab at it to stop the pain that had appeared quickly and if Erin was looking at her she may have noticed the movement and the slight glow from beneath her hand. This confused Cienna as she had never even heard of a soul tattoo burning twice, she couldn’t sense an insect near her wrist and felt slightly panicked. Had Julie died? What was going on. Her fingers holding Julie’s hand moved to her wrist, and felt the pulse steady below. No she hadn’t died… then what was this.
