Mika shook her head and took Gretel ’ s cheeks in her hand and turned her so they faced each other. Wiping away the tears that fell from her eyes. “You are strong Gretel because you are a survivor. ” She whispered. “You are a much stronger person now than ever before. ” Mika said. “I am here for you now. No one is ever going to hurt you ever again. I promise.”
Gretel’s breath was ragid, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her eyes flitted over Mika’s features, looking for truth but even when she saw it, she couldn’t force herself to believe it. “But I should’ve been able to stop them. I’m a fucking hunter for fucks sake.”
Mika sighed softly and simply pulled the ex hunter into a hug and held her as close as she could. "Don't trouble yourself Gretel." She whispered against her ear and rubbed her back soothingly. "Hush...don't blame yourself ." She tried to sooth. She felt extremely bad for the hunter. She knew the situation she was in was horrid, and she wanted to help as best as she could but she didn't know how.
