Clockwork Princess:

In a world where soul mates were scientifically proven to exist, many lived their lives spared of heartbreaks and pain, living ecstatically with their partner that they were destined to be with.  Others spent their entire life travelling around the world and searching for their partner, yearning to feel the heat within the stone embedded into their chest. This stone was was rumored to heat up more  and more as one got closer to their soul mate. This meant that the further they were, the colder their stone felt. For this reason, a few who began their journey to find their destined one, failed to do so. This left them in a state of anguished emotions as they lived a lonely life. Or in other cases, they hooked up with others who failed to find theirs, or had already found them. These sufferers were known as clockwork wreckers. Amongst these clockwork wreckers was one that went by the name, [Name] [Surname]. This individual female was titled to be the "Clockwork Princess" due to how many soulmates' she had caused to break up by interfering in their relationship. Or as she said, "giving the man what he wanted , something he didn't receive from his soulmate." Due to this, her reputation within the Republic City was not the desired one. And the said female  either received pity or hatred from those around her. Pity, because she was unable to find her soul mate, and she had known nothing but coldness in the stone within her chest for as long as she had lived to this day.  Hatred, because she wrecked relationships.

Presently, the [H/C] female sat behind her work place's counter, reading a book with a glass of vodka next to her. She would occasionally take a drink out of it while she read, and then settle the glass back to it's original place. As she did this, a brown-haired male observed her with a cunning smirk on his face. Of course, the female felt his piercing amber eyes staring daggers at the side of her head, and when she felt it for too long, an anime vein appeared on her head.

"What the hell do you want!?" She cursed, turning towards her work mate, who snickered in response.

"Nothing, except the fact that you really are cold as your stone," He said, smirking. His rude reply caused the female to grit her teeth in anger, as she opened her mouth to insult him. However, before she could, the bell within the restaurant rang, signalling that they had a new customer to tend to. This prevented the female from insulting her work acquaintance as she turned her head towards the customer. And when she did, everything, and I mean everything around her, including her own breath ceased. The environment around her dimmed into layers of haze, no longer visible to her dull [e/c] eyes. The noise of chatter became inaudible to her ears, as the sound of his heart hammering against his chest began to deafen her ears. The emotion within her irises twisted itself unsurely as he was the only thing that became clearly visible within her vision. Everything else suddenly disappeared, and that's when [Name] felt it.

That's when the Clockwork Princess felt something she never had, and she was sure she never would. She felt a small flame ignite itself within her chest, as her stone that she had accustomed to be cold like ice, became slightly warm for the first time. And it continued to become warmer as she intensely gazed within the pair of jade eyes that were a few metres away from her. The young [H/C] female shifted her eyes away from his jade ones, as she became to examine the male who gave her warmth. This male had hair, black as a feather of a raven with his fringe falling down in a small curl between his eyebrows. His beautiful jade eyes seem to trap her within his eyes, as his muscular form caused a small blush to appear on her cheeks. As [Name] continued to observe the unknown male before her, her stone became warmer and warmer, engulfing her with the unknown feeling of ecstasy. And when her eyes met his, and she noticed his expression for her like he noticed hers, she knew that he felt the same way she did.

Instantly, she knew that he realized like her that they were both each other's soulmates. And for the first time in her life, the cold-hearted, guarded female, felt slightly happy for she was experiencing a warmth that actually made her feel alive.

That was until a brown-skinned arm wrapped around her soulmate's arm, and instantly, the happiness [Name] felt disappeared as well as the warmth within her chest. The ecstasy she felt was replaced by the hollowness she normally felt, as her stone became cold once again. And right away, [Name] felt her heart break as she saw her soul mate kiss the cheek of a woman from before. And right away, [Name] knew she was one of the rare case.

Did I forget to mention?
In the world where soulmates were scientifically proven to exist, many lived their lives spared of heartbreaks and pain. Many, not all ,because no world is perfect. In no world does everyone receive a happy ending.

In this seemingly perfect world, rare case existed where a person had a soulmate, but they were not anyone's soulmate.

These rare cases were the cursed scum, the sacrificed ones who were forced to live a life rendered off love, the sacrifice that were made for other's love.
These rare cases like [Name] were destined to be with no one.
