While they celebrated with joy as they killed off the last guy, I sensed a powerful presence nearing towards this village surprisingly quickly. I run towards Taylor to warn him about the aura but this feeling was to powerful even for Taylor. She approached him but not because she wanted to inform him but because of "Wanting to celebrate" so she lied about gathering food materials. Taylor said she didn't need to for they already had a lot of supplies but she left before he could he even look at her.
"H-huh? wait Persephone!" Taylor's words echoed through the village calling out to Persephone. Persephone heared it and felt bad but didn't stop running towards the presence. Taylor's group looks at Persephone and sighs.
____________________________________________________
"What the hell is this Aura?" Persephone questions herself and runs towards it.
< "It seems that your going alone, why aren't you bringing your comrades Persephone?" >
"No offense to them Tasia but they don't seem like they can handle a person with this much strength...not that I'm underestimating their skill or anything. Okay look, I just don't want them to get hurt okay?" she replied honestly and Tasia accepted the excuse despite it being kind of rude.
She then positions herself to a place where she thinks the person is going to hit right before the ground underneath her explodes. She shrieked in surprise but was thankful that she didn't take a lot of damage and steadied herself. She looked around through the smoke the enemy created and stared in disbelief as it was her first time seeing actual twins. They looked kind of cute, Persephone thought but shrugged it off as it was weird enough that she was complimenting an enemy. The twins seemed to be not really hiding their aura causing trees to disintegrate as time passes.
"Eh..? there's only one person?" The other twin got confused and moves close to Persephone.
"Well...I kind of decided to fight you guys alone and I hope it's enough for you. You seemed to be looking for a fight with someone strong..." The girl replied preparing to fight.
"We are...are you strong miss? is that why your fighting us?" Both twins said very closely near her face. She flinched in reflex and moved away as quickly as she could putting her hand up signaling— "No."
The twins then whispered to eachother although Persephone could actually hear it.
"Miss, we'll have a battle on who's stronger and whoever wins gets to make the other person their subordinate no matter what!" The two yelled together confidently and they readied their stance. Persephone's face scrunches up and cringes to the thought of being these twins subordinate but also did not like the fact of somebody following her every command 24/7.
She got ready and decides to mess with the twins and increases her speed slightly more faster than the twins and attacked ( not really ) and stopped just about an inch close to their face. The trees behind the twins flies off violently as the leaves got immediately destroyed due to the impact. The shocked twins couldn't move from shock and stood there with their mouths hanging while Persephone laughs loudly. She got close to the twins and tip-toed to flick their heads. The fight was over in an instant because of Persephone's ability. She successfully gained victory by doing nothing and just increased her speed resulting in an unfair battle and the Twins reaction was priceless to Persephone.
"I win, you lose." Persephone says mocking them a little bit with childishness.
The twins then snapped out of their state and looked at Persephone while pouting.
"Miss! That's no fair, that is cheating! we haven't even started yet!" The two bursted out with frustration as Persephone laughs in the middle of their sentence. She stopped laughing to actually listen to the twins arguing that they should have another rematch. Persephone smiles softly making the twins surprised, We were just fighting a while ago and now she's smiling towards us? both of them thought.
"No hard feelings, what are your names?" Persephone handed both of her hands for the twins to shake each and they twins hesitantly looked at her and told their names.
"Relsa...Fresia" The other twin said with slightly longer hair.
"Ralse....Fresia" The twin with shorter hair sad as well.
"Persephone, Persephone Anderson, Relsa, Ralse. " She shook their hands complying her victory as she hums in happiness of not having to show off her powers yet. The twins looked at eachother and sighed in disappoinment both showing their sadness.
"Guess we'll be your subordinates huh...aww..lame." They both hold their hands dramatically as they pose making Persephone grin.
"You guys don't actually have to be my subordinates. It was quite the unfair battle for you guys so no deals." she spoke out not wanting to deal with these twins if they were actually were going to be her subordinates.
"B-but..I know it was unfair..but we still lost!" Relsa said as Ralse agreed nodding his head to his brothers comment. Persephone sighed and thought of the situation. If she were to take care of these twins in her journey than wouldn't it mean that they can help her fight later enemies? She concluded in her head, she then decided to take them in as her official first subordinates and from now on have to take care of them. They changed pretty quickly to the situation and skipped joyfully chanting "We are Miss Persephone's subordinates!" happily. She thought it was quite adorable even through they were slightly taller than her and the fight that they had but she erased that moment and accepted these two. She went closer to them and gestured them to kneel a little bit and so they did that.
"Well, well~ Let's go my subordinates!" she said patting both of their heads confidently shining. They both blush not knowing what to feel about being patted on as they never experienced this. They wiggle their fingers embarrassedly as Persephone continues to pat them. She then stopped and held both of their hands while walking back to Taylor's village.
***
The Fresia Twins both in fighting stance while Persephone tries to think of a logical explanation as to they think of the situation. She just went back in the village not realizing that these twins were an enemy to their point of view and now, they see their quote on quote "ally" (Persephone) holding these twins hands and smiling brightly. She didn't want to hurt Taylor's side of the village nor did she want to hurt the twins as well. She got in between the twins and smiled at them but also whispering to them. After she whispered to them, the twins backed off leaving Persephone to stand alone to face the angry village. If they already think she's a traitor then she has no other choice but to leave this village. She prepared a defense attack calling out to Tasia on what skill she should use. Tasia looks through her many skills and finds a perfect escape plan.
< "Recommend using "Mist." It is an attack that uses a powerful fog perfect for a person not wanting to fight but wanting to run away." >
Persephone sighs knowing how quickly her trust from these people would immediately break after she fires this attack. She just met these people a few hours ago so she shouldn't feel this much pain yet she did, she didn't want to leave them but for the sake of protecting her subordinates from the angry mob, she had to. I mean..there was no other choice right?
She puts her hands up on the air and releases the skill \ Mist /. She coughs not expecting for it to be that huge and finds the Twins also coughing behind her. She grabs a hold of two of them and runs away with them leaving the village. The last thing she saw before leaving the village was Taylor's saddened and hurt face which made her feel guilty but not regretful. If these twins were to fight her friends, they would be injured badly. She thought to herself that she'll never meet these people again and finally smiles at Taylor sweetly before disappearing from everyone's sight.
After they ran away to the forest— Persephone gasps for air as he Twins behind her rest while laying on the tree.
"Well, my friendship with them ended so quickly." She grabbed her heart and squeezed it. She then laid down between the twins and sat with then. She rested her head on Ralse and began speaking with them about her personal life and theirs. Night passes but they still continued to talk resulting in both the twins and Persephone getting closer to one another. They share laughs to on another and jokes about matters. Persephone looks at the twins and just noticed that for some reason they were a lot different than usual. Their blood red eyes softens to a more pink shade and thought that was unusual and asked them about it. The twins also seemed to be shocked by the sudden change and for some reason, the twins blush was more red than their previous eyes causing Persephone to be confused. The twins then explain that when their breed (The twins are both vampires mixed with werewolf blood in them, they're called \ Blood Fangs \) gets attached to someone fast, it often turns one's eye color to a lighter shade than what it used to be.
Persephone's eyes awes in amazement as he teases the two for getting that attached to her. The two Blood Fangs turn away too embarrassed to look at her in the eyes. Persephone teases them even more causing them to hide their face.
"Aww~ you two like me!" She screamed lightly wanting them to face her.
"D-don't get your hopes up! Our eyes won't turn even lighter, they'll stay the same!" Ralse spoke violently.
"Brother that's mean.. but yeah!" Relsa Agreeing with his brother.
Persephone smiles gently towards them making them break through there faze and face defeat. They went closer towards her sleeping in her lap like children and melts in the comfortable silence. She gently strokes their hair in a repeating manner not daring to move otherwise she'll wake up these sleeping boys. She looks at the moon and leaned even further in the tree still stroking the boys. It's a beautiful night besides the war and heartbreak and now she met fellow men acting like children towards although she couldn't complain because she found the act adorable.
She gazes her green eyes at the sleeping boys and sighed. She wanted to journey even farther but these two might not tag along with her. Her mood decreases but not wanting to feel negative, she still enjoyed the scenery with a female with blonde hair and emerald eyes being a mother to two boys both on her lap sleeping soundly. After their strange encounter, she grew cautious about her surroundings and set up a powerful barrier to protect herself and the twins. The twins although tall and looked sophisticated, they were still children in the inside. She stops stroking the two boys and got up as quietly as she could. She knew either way Taylor would find them as they did not venture off that far, she grew worried for the boys but still didn't want to wake up their slumber. An idea popped into her head as she uses her telekinesis to lift the boys and carry them along with her. Telekinesis only could be used to hold objects but due to her glitch in level and power, she could easily lift up 10,000/or more people with her telekinesis.
She then walked to a direction Tasia told her to go and lastly prayed for Taylor's village to be protected and then went on.
***
Relsa woke up from his slumber only to be surprised that something or someone was carrying him all the way, he looked at Persephone who didn't notice he was awake and she seemed to be in thought of something. He looks at her with curiousity as she talks to someone he couldn't see. He didn't know he formed a smile on his face just by looking at her. He looks at his brother who he didn't know was already awake looking at Persephone with the same softness in his eyes as he does. For some reason, just by gazing at her, he could feel love and wanted to be with her everyday and that was the same for his brother.
Persephone continues to wander off when she suddenly feels like somebody's watching her and looks at the twins who were awake and smiling at her. Persephone let's down the boys and greets them.
"Good morning, Ralse, Relsa. How was your sleep? did you have sweet dreams?" Persephone says, they both nod and spoke together.
"We had dreams about you Master Persephone!" They said mischievously.
She blushes at the thought of them thinking of her in an inappropriate manner. Persephone calms herself down thinking they just dreamt of her with no sexual relations and nods at them.
"That's cute, what was the dream about?" She eyed them wanting them to state a wholesome dream which they fortunately replied to. She was red and whispered a "phew.." behind the boys back. They look at eachother and grin. Persephone steps back.
"They're up to something.." Persephone could feel their wide smirk looming towards her. She gave them a suspicious look as they walk near towards her.
"What were you thinking Master Persephone?" Relsa said while Ralse towers over Persephone. She gulped not wanting to answer their question. As much as they were taller than her, they had no right to do this to her! Persephone thought. She puts her hands up and pushes Ralse lightly.
"What were YOU thinking?" Persephone counters back at them. They flinch at the sudden confidence and shyly fidgets their fingers. Victory again for Persephone, it's a good thing she didn't lose her composure because they were basically flirting with her and she was not taking it very well. In her past life, Flirting was not something she could easily counter or say, since she was beautiful, men both pretty and average would come up to her with cheesy lines and Persephone couldn't help but blush at every single one of the lines they said.
"Well..nothing! we thought of nothing I swear" They easily gave up because it was Persephone that was flirting back with them. Persephone hoped they wouldn't do that again as the second time they would do that, she would die right then and there at the spot. After silence, Persephone broke the silence and asked the question she hoped she wouldn't have to say but it was for their consent.
"So...as you can see, I carried you guys here without your matter into it and I feel bad. You guys may be my subordinates but you have families to go through, a life you want to experience so I'll give you this decision. Please answer it honestly, I won't be mad. Ralse, Relsa. Do you want to travel with me even if it means going to the ends of the earth?" She spoke suddenly out of seriousness, the twins got caught off guard with the serious question and didn't know what to say or what to do. Persephone looks at them with seriousness in her eyes also confirming that this was indeed their decision to make and she wasn't going to be mad about what they were going to choose. Persephone's hands flinch impatiently wanting an answer right away from them. She was going to ask this question when they became her subordinates but she was distracted. The uncomfortable silence grew too uneasy for Persephone and she tries to break it.
"Y-you can decline it. Don't think of it as a request or a demand, think of it as a choice for you guys to make. Please don't regret your decision." The mood lightens but it was still uncomfortable. The twins looked at eachother and thought hard about it.
"Master Persephone, if we say no, does that mean you'll still visit us in our village?" Ralse spoke first before Relsa.
Persephone eyes widens in realization. She could not go back to their village because she was an enemy to their and Taylor's village. She bites her lips and her sad expression made the Twins heart hurt. She looked back at them and shook her head with a pained expression. The twins looked like they were going to cry and Persephone went up to them and wipes their (almost) tears. She hugged them and apologized over and over again. She then looked at them now wanting for their decision. The twins looked at eachother and nodded while Persephone closed her eyes and waited for the answer she didn't want to hear.
They grip on to her tight making her open her eyes in confusion. She patted their back as she hums wanting to calm them down.
"The Fresia Twins are Persephone's subordinates no matter what!" they cried out leaving Persephone speechless.
"W-what? Are you really serious..? You guys are going to be leaving your homes for me? But why?!" She said in disbelief while looking at the twins. The twins did not release her and kept on holding her not wanting to let go. She cries happily and holds them back.
"Hey guys..let go, I'm still in shock you chose me over your hometown.." Persephone whispers quietly.
They finally let go of her sniffling like a child as Persephone pats their head lovingly. She held their chins making them face her, the words she spoke next had such a loving tone to it that the Twins couldn't help but fall for her charms and stare at her.
"Ralse, Relsa. Welcome to my journey"
She smiles brightly.
Note: I'm sorry if the plot is too fast, I'll try to make it slower and have more impact to it, thank you!
