"N-no, i just met them yesterday" Myriad said, sounding confused and a little scared as he started fiddling with his hood "why?
-
"Ah," she said, then leaned forward. "What I am about to tell you three must be kept a secret between us. Do you swear?"
"I promise," Belladonna affirmed. -
" I promise!" Screech said excited for, whatever this was.
-
"I promise" Myriad said quietly, flinchibg slightly before he pulled his hood up
-
"You," she said, looking at Myriad. "Have your string split between these two, who's strings are connected to yours."
-
Screech was...surprised to say the least, there was no doubt he found myriad attractive, but he didn't think they'd have that kind of connection.
-
Myriad froze "i-im sorry what?"
-
Jeba sighed. "You have two soulmates. You should choose one, but keep in mind that in doing so, the other go through life without a soulmate."
Belladonna's face was scrunched up in thought. -
Screech suddenly felt scared. he wanted to run, he wanted to hide, so he put back on the mask "fing lier this can't be real soulmates don't EXIST!" He yelled flipping his chair and the table and storming out of the building.
-
Myriad tugged his hood further over his face and visiably flinched when Screech yelled and left. "Why wouldnt i be able to chose both of them so neither of them had to suffer?" He asked quietly, tugging at his hood again
-
"Because that is not the way it works. You can discuss this with both of them," she said, fixing the table.
Belladonna stormed out, clambered up a tree, curling herself up tightly. -
Screech was scared out of his mind. He would be left behind, forgotten, abandoned. He knew he would. He made his final decision. He would let himself be alone forever. He would keep the mask on around Belladonna and myriad, then they could be happy, and he wouldn't have to be such a terrible person.
-
Who said it didnt work that way. You said this only happened once before" he said
-
"And they tried to skirt around the problem. It was disastrous and one of them died," she said. "Now please leave. I have been greatly disturbed."

What did that cruel old woman know? Belladonna curled up in the tree, trying to think optimistically. She had ruined everything. The only way she could possibly make it up to Myriad and Screech was to leave. She left their bus fee on the doorstep and began to leave. -
Screech was walking home. He didn't have the courage or Money to take the bus. He could easily not wear the mask, but it would make it harder to abandon happiness and leave them forever. He was so conflicted inside he could barely breathe. He wanted to just break down like before. It wouldn't help but if he was lucky he would be gone and Belladonna and myriad could be happy together. So he went into an alley and punched a wall for an hour while he cried.
