{What. Who is this?}
His mind filled with fear. He did not sense her coming, but he could feel her bloodlust. She was strong, at least a D rank, by Robert's guess. Snapping out of his fear, he quickly pushed her off of him "Who are you?" Robert said, mustering all his courage.
"My love, why do you ask such simple questions. It's me, Rose, your soulmate." She said. But her appearance was different. She still looked the same, but her eyes no longer twinned Suns. Now they are like blood-red Moons. Her hair is longer now, but the new length is red and not like her golden base.
"When was this decided? I did not agree to this." Robert said. He was terrified. Rose Pendragon, Someone he just met, has deemed him her soulmate. She was of noble blood and the descendant of King Arthur. Robert was nothing compared to her.
"I decided this the moment I saw you sit with my brother. He told me that he sensed that you are just as twisted as I am." She said as she drew closer to Robert. Pinning him to the ground and placing both her hands on his chest.
"From now on, this heart of yours only beats for me. I will keep you safe and love you unconditionally, but should your love falter. Then I will kill you." She said that last part with such familiarity. Robert wondered if she had done this to others. If he was not the only one she thought was her soulmate.
"And what if I have a girlfriend already?" The moment Robert finished, she grabbed a knife and held it to his throat. "What? Are you unloyal already? Oh dear, looks like you must die for your sin of looking at another woman." She lifted the knife in the air, ready to thrust.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT I WAS JOKING!! I NEVER HAD A GIRLFRIEND!" Robert exclaimed. He was only joking and did not know it would get him killed. She lowered her knife before throwing it away; her eyes glowed now, and then she slapped him in the face. "Jokes like that get you killed, and since you lied to me, punishment is in order."
"I am sorry. Please forgive me. Please, Rose." Robert pleaded for her forgiveness. It was a long day, and he only wanted to tease her. His self-worth was so low that he valued a stranger's opinion, but she was no longer a stranger. She was his soulmate, or so she claimed.
"If you want me to forgive you, then you must do three things." Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Robert eagerly said, " I will do anything." Rose started to blush. She was expecting some resistance, but his eagerness for her forgiveness was intoxicating.
"First, you must call me your lover whenever anyone asks about our relationship. Second, you must always be by my side twenty-four-seven, even after the academy and at the academy. Lastly… you must always k-k-kiss me when I ask you." She said her bravado faded at that last demand. This girl, who was willing to kill Robert now, is suddenly a blushing mess.
"Where did all your confidence go?" he said with pure terror. He slowly started to move away from her, but she grabbed him, her grip tight and unyielding. "Where do you think you are going, My Love?"
"Wait, wait. How do I even know you really love me? For all I know, this could all just be fake, or you're trying to kill me. Prove you love me"
Without warning, she bit his ear hard before quickly kissing it. Her lips felt amazing. She was leaving her mark and kept murmuring along the lines of "You belong to me" Her biting got harder and harder as her kisses quickened.
Robert could not move. He did not want to move. This girl was giving him all her love, and he was soaking it all in. He was trying to figure out if this was just a joke, but the way she spoke. The way her lips and teeth moved on his ear. Her commands and possessive words led him to believe she was telling the truth.
Robert grabbed her face and moved her to face his own. "I accept you, Rose Pendragon. " With that, he kissed her. It was quick and messy, but it was not out of lust or jokes. It was out of love, because he had chosen and accepted her.
Her eyes seemed to drain of the red, returning to the twin suns. Her hair had also shortened, the red gone. Her bloodlust is gone, along with her heat. "I love you so much, Robert," was the last thing she said before passing out. The excitement was finally catching up with her.
Her limp body fell flat onto Robert's. A figure was coming now, a man around 6ft1 ", looks like my guess was correct. You, Robert, will now be responsible for my sister's happiness." The man then picked up Rose and carried her away on his shoulder before saying, " Don't worry. She is fine. She just needs rest from your love." He gave Robert a thumbs-up and then left as quick as a flash. "So that is Richard's voice.. Sounds nice."
Robert stood up and began to walk home. His heart is rebuilt with the love he now feels for Rose. Passing by the other houses on his street, a girl stopped him. She was short, really short, with long pink hair "H-hey, mister, my name is Haru. Can you please point the way to house 25 on this street? Please." Her voice was as sweet as honey.
Robert was already in a happier mood and felt more than willing to show her. " That one with the red cross on the door." Robert pointed at the house just a few meters away " Thank you, kind mister," was the last she said before running off.
Robert waved at her and then continued on his walk home. He felt so truly happy. The day started rough, but now, with Rose's confession and that sweet girl, he could not even feel a bit upset.
But all that ended when something grabbed Robert's neck and threw him into the alley.
