    Summary

    “Did you know some turtles can live to be over 150?” Zoey says, about midway Rumi’s scalp.

    “Oh really, Zo?” Rumi says groggily. Inwardly she groans, because now Zoey starts talking all about Tortoises, Galapos and Sey-Whatever turtles. Usually she loved listening to Zoey talk to whatever her current obsession was, but not at 7- freaking- AM. Before she even managed to have a single drop of caffeine.

    Zoey gets to the base of her head now, where some stubborn hairs refuse to leave the collar of Rumi’s turtleneck. She pulls the collar down slightly, only to still at the light purple marks hidden beneath it.

     

    Alternatively: Zoey accidentally finds out about Rumi's patterns and slowly starts puzzling together the truth, while dealing with her own emotions about it.

     

    (Set pre-movie/during movie.)

    Summary

    Rumi, Mira and Zoey end up attending the same interspecies college, and get randomly assigned as roommates.

    Demon Rumi, Vampire Mira, and Werewolf Zoey - What could go wrong?

    -
    The vampire looked down slowly at the mess on her clothes, then back up.

    Rumi’s heart slammed against her ribs like it wanted out.

    “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” the girl said, her voice cold and flat.

    Rumi stepped forward without thinking, pressing the flimsy paper napkin against the slick black leather covered in her lunch.

    “I—I’m so sorry,” she stammered, every syllable tripping over the last. “I didn’t mean—I wasn’t looking and—”

    “You didn’t mean to walk straight?” the vampire snapped, voice slicing clean through her apology. “Or use eyes that work?”

    Up close, the vampire’s presence hit like a cold front.

    Terrifying, her instincts offered.

    Beautiful, her brain added unhelpfully.

    And here she was… rubbing at her chest.

    The motion was clumsy and awkward—her brain screaming at her to help clean while her hands were busy doing exactly the kind of contact you’d never want to initiate with a stranger.

    Summary

    Zoey forgets to breathe sometimes.

    The colors in her head rise like the tide and no one's ever really taught her how to swim.

    Alternatively: 5 times Zoey forgets to take care of herself and 1 time she chooses not to.

    Summary

    “You agree, right? That they like me back?” Zoey asks.

    Derpy lets out a rumbling sound. Zoey still hasn’t pieced together what all of his growls and meows mean, but she’s pretty sure that one means Yes, Zoey, your friends definitely do like you back, and you should totally get them to kiss you.

    Summary

    The courtroom was cold, not from air conditioning, but from the way her parents refused to look at her.
    Zoey sat still on the too-tall chair, her legs numb, fingers twisted into the hem of her dress until her knuckles went white. No one asked how she was. No one asked what she wanted. She just sat there. Listening. Absorbing.
    Her mother was yelling again. Her father was laughing in that fake, sharp way that meant he was angry and trying to pretend he wasn’t. The judge looked tired. The lawyers looked bored. Everyone had folders and coffee. Everyone had opinions.
    “You don’t love her.”
    “You only want her so you don’t have to pay me.”
    “She cries every time she leaves my house.”
    “She’s scared of you.”
    “She said she wants to stay with me.”
