Fighting demons had never been this hard before.

Rumi, Mira and Zoey were out on patrol again, killing demons and keeping people from losing their souls. You know, the usual.

Only it wasn't the usual commute.

The trio were getting banged up, to say the least, and they'd been fighting for almost a half hour. Rumi had managed to get all of the remaining demons, which consisted of at least a dozen of them, into a room and slammed the door shut, keeping her back against it and using her sword to keep it shut, but the door had no lock.

If she moved, they'd get out.

"You two need to get out of here." Her voice was shaky, like she was on the verge of tears, which she honestly was. Zoey and Mira immediately started protesting.

"What the hell? We're not leaving you here alone to die, Rumi!" Mira said, her grip on her Gok-do tightening, as was Zoey's grip on her Shin-kal.

"I'm not asking, you two!" Rumi said, voice cracking as her eyes - those beautiful, chocolate brown eyes both of them loved - filled with tears.

Zoey was about to protest more, but Mira was already wrapping her arms around Zoey's waist.

Mira was already running.

Zoey cried and begged for Mira to turn around, to save their girlfriend, the love of their lives, whilst reaching back desperately for Rumi.

Mira had to hold back tears more with every running stride she took.
