How are you? I’ve been so worried, thinking about what could happen to you. I’m very glad that I received a letter from you last night. Don’t worry about Lord Dastonia finding it, I already burnt it just like what you told me!
About those two hunters, I dunno what happened to them. Only time I saw them was when I found you outside when you left. I heard that the girl hunter had business with your father. I’m wondering what kind of business, because I found the library the next morning a wreck. I didn’t see them since, but…I heard from Cook that they got disposed of by your father.
I’m sorry.
They helped you escape, right?
Please be more careful, and don’t let your father catch you…you’d be better off whoring in Morroc than be back here. I swear. The house is different now ever since you left, there’d be many strange people visiting here, people all dressed in black and carrying walking sticks even though they’re still young. Fifi’s back, too…the dreadful, dreadful girl.
I have to go now, miss. Take care of yourself.
Still in your service,
Rumika
Two heavy drops of tears blotted the paper as Sevrin read the missive sent to her by Rumika on the sly. “You used to be stronger than me, Rottie. You used to protect me when we were little,” Sevrin whispered, her face clearly showing her anguish, tears spilling from her eyes.
With a strained cry Sevrin crumpled up the paper and threw it across the room, and buried her face in her hands, giving herself up to a full-blown sob. Curling up in her bed did not help in warding off the hurt gnawing at her insides.
Selrotta was gone. Her only family, gone.
No one was going to watch the graduation rites, for her.
While not being part of the Knights of Obscurity, Selrotta (aka Rottie) and her beau, Blitz Harper, were our hunters from the Chaos server. There's a good chance they're still stirring up trouble elsewhere. Maybe even later in Beyond Black Doors ^^v
