"So~ who's going to go first? Bianca?"

The cheery werewolf singsongs, you and a few other girls from school were having a sleepover, and having been a part of the friend group you were invited, you actually didn't think you would be asked, having been a known Wallflower at any social event, you were a timid shy person. You were also surprised that Wednesday was partaking in the activities, although I guess she doesn't have a choice, as Enid did invite you all over to their dorm.

Having faced a lot of emotional difficulties in your family you never tried to garner attention or put yourself out there, you were content with just surviving, wanting to get through school so you could get the job you always wanted, you found social events to be a distraction, your older sister going out to parties, leaving you to look after your younger siblings, you still being just a child taught you that you can be alright on your own. You had to be alright on your own. 

This leads you to have been through a lot of shit, emotional manipulation, the fallout with friends who couldn't understand why you couldn't ditch your responsibilities for them, being bullied for being the outcast in your old school...it was all a little much, and not having many people to talk to for so long you resorted to self-harming. 

Bottling things up can only allow so much to be stored, so you took up on stress relieving, and the only way you could get that tick of satisfaction was to cut yourself, mainly on your arms, but when things were worse you made room for cuts on your thighs. 

No one knew, not even your family, well, almost no one...

In this life, everyone is blessed with a soulmate, and this is normally something that Is celebrated around the globe, you can find out who your soulmate is by communicating by a single ability, the ability to share marks on your skin, no this doesn't mean every soulmate has the same birthmarks, I'm talking about drawings, doodles, squiggles, numbers, letters, anything, if you were to write on your arm, confessing your most diabolic sin, the only person who could see it personally would be your soulmate. There is a small burning sensation, letting you know your soulmate is communicating; however, this is applied not only in ink but scars, cuts, bruises, and the lot, they usually stay there for 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the communicated substance. 

This means if you were to wear a short-sleeved shirt, your friends could most likely see the ink on your arms from your soulmate, resulting in a lot of teasing.

Which on any other occasion, would be sweet, if you skidded your knee after failing a gnarly skateboard trick? No worries, in a few moments you'll feel your soulmate writing on their arm to see if you are okay, cute right? Wrong. 

When you first got into the bad habit your soulmate wrote "That looks nasty did you get a cat?" To which you replied, "Yes, they are too playful" This was only a one-time thing as you quickly realised your soulmate was not stupid. So, as a result, you are afraid to meet your soulmate, having the fear of them not only being disappointed but disgusted with you, what kind of a normal human releases pressure from slicing their skin?

So, the question of the sleepover right now was, 'What would you say to your soulmate when you meet them?' Thankfully, Bianca has agreed to go first, allowing you to think of a good lie for the time being. 

Y/n's POV

I sit on the floor, hugging my knees to my chest as I rest my chin on them, looking at the Siren with interest as everyone in the room's eyes are on her. "Well, I'd probably start with hello" She jokes, resulting in a few chuckles, the only ones who didn't laugh were me and Wednesday, the girl who sits on my left side, her legs crossed, arms folded over her chest as she holds a neutral, almost bored expression. "But after introductions, I'd like to ask them about that scar they got on their leg a few years back." She answers with a small shrug. "Enid?"
