Mori~ "I meant every word I said" he says while coming closer.
So many questions were going through my mind like who is he? Why is he saying he loves me? And the number one question on my mind right now is...
"Mori, how did you get in my room? And what was that cut on your head?" I asked confidently.
"The answer is on your right wrist" he says while grabbing my arm.
I look at my wrist only to see a single straight line on it.

"This mark lets me know where you are at all times and allows me to be by your side in less than a second. And I have one in my ankle, but's it's not a mark, it's a ankle bracelet that lets you control me." He says

(That's his ankle bracelet)
"Are you serious? Who exactly are you? Are you human?" I ask while taking a good look at his face.
"Sit down, I'll tell you everything about myself" *I sit on my bed* He continues with "As you already know my name is Mori and I am 317 years old (appears to be around 17 years old). I not from this world, I'm from the Other World. To be specific, I am the next King of the Other World. In order to become king I need to find a wife. But not just any wife, I need one who I love on sight, someone who is compatible with me. I was given 100 years to find such a woman and I wasted 84 of them up until you were born. When you were born, I felt your life being brought into this world as if we were connected and I instantly knew that you were the one for me. Ever since then I've felt the strong need to protect you and give you the life and happiness you deserve, but all this time, up until now, I couldn't in fear of how you'll react. I come form a half fox and half wolf family. My mother is the bright white queen of all the wolves in the Other World and my father is the fearless ruler of everything in the Other World including the foxes. Oh! I also have an older brother, of which I'm not on good terms with as well as my mother. And yup! That's all you need to know for now!" He said.
...........
"AHAHAAAAAA this has to be a dream, right?" I said while looking up. " So if I'm doing math correctly that means you have about a year to find a wife in order to become king?" I said seriously.
"Yes, I want you to me my wife, well you don't have to be my wife but my fiancé within a year. And the fact that you helped me last night deepened my love for you even more" he said while looking down.
'He seems so shy. I feel like he's so vulnerable. He's nothing like he was yesterday at school. It's like I'm talking to a whole different person!'
"Well Mori, before I give you an answer I assume I would have to live in this "Other World" if we get married, so I'd like to visit and meet your family." I sighed.
He sighed too "Well if you want to go today, I can take you and we can come back tomorrow. But if you do go, you need to stay by my side at all times, understand?" He said with a serious expression on his face.
"Yeah I want to go today since my mom is working overnight and my siblings are sleeping over at their friend's house." I nodded.
He nodded too and took my hand, and I felt my body get so tight from the inside that I closed my eyes for a second and as soon as I opened them, I was outside on a balcony and the skies were blood red and there were weird looking animals in the sky.
"Welcome to the Other World" a man said.
"Huh? Who are you? And where is Mori?" I said.
Mori has straight short jet black hair, but the man before me, his hair is so long that it reaches his calves, even though it's in a ponytail. And his eyes are no longer brown with golden specks, but rather a deep dark red.
"It's me Mori? How could you forget so easily?" He says looking sad.
"Oh I-" I was about to say something until I was cut off by a loud bunch of people.
"Welcome back sir!" A bunch of people said.
I turned to look at them hoping that they would look a little human, of which they did with their heads bowed, but when they raised their heads, I was terrified.
I move closer to Mori, almost as if I was trying to enter inside him. A tear starts falling from my eyes. You can tell those people were starting to get offended. Their faces were of all kinds. Some had three eyes, two heads, one large eye and so on and so forth.
It was like seeing something out of a children's scary picture book, but in real life.
"Thank you, you guys are dismissed. Prepare food for us immediately." Mori said to them sternly.
Mori~ "It's okay now Riza, they're gone." He says whilst stroking my head.
"Sorry Mori, I didn't mean to react that way. I didn't mean to offend them" I said sadly while looking down.
"It's okay, they aren't bad people, they are my trusted servants. I'll take you around my palace before we eat." He said.
"...................and this will be your room, whenever you visit."
"MASTER!! MASTER!!! WELCOME BACK! WE MISSED YOU!" A bunch of beautiful girls ran towards him.
"Heyyy...haha (awkward laughing) ummm... how have you all been?" He says nervously.
'What happened to the stern man that was speaking just a second ago? Why is he suddenly being awkward around these girls.?' I thought to myself.
