Who Do You Think You Are? (Ra'i and Robert) - Bella's Castle

...

"Sure thing." He couldn't help but smile that she would be there to see him, even if he thought it might be a not so pleasant conversation based on her tone.

She pulled up, but left the car running. Bella said that she wanted to be dropped off, so that's what she was doing.

She stepped out of the car, slipping her coat off. Her fists clenched as she walked through the door, looking for Robert.

Robert sat at the bar, a drink sat in front of him. He smiled warmly at her when she stepped in, "This looks like it may hurt." There was understanding on his face though and acceptance, he didn't know what the two had discussed but he knew it wasn't going to be pleasant for him. Especially considering the look on her face.

Dropped off the Malkavian, and back home she headed. Soooo not getting in the middle of that.

"Stand up and come here." She growled, standing in the middle of the hall.

He stood up and walked towards her, glass in hand.

"You told me you were afraid of blood bonds, Robert... I didn't know that didn't apply to the first pretty blonde you meet in a new city."

And then she was hitting him, faster than human normal. At the first hit, he staggered. At the second, he hit the ground. And she stopped hitting.

((Robert, 8 damage after soak, you are in Torpor))

She sunk to her knees beside him, sobbing, "You idiot, you fucking moron. I trusted you. Why would you do that?" She wiped crimson tears from her eyes, slicing open her wrist and bringing the bleeding wound to his mouth.

Robert stirs, her blood revitalizing him as his body begins to forcibly tale his and her blood to heal the damage he had just received. His eyes fluttered open with a groan of pain. He coughed roughly as hilungs reshaped. "Bella..." His eyes look pained and so very sorry. He moans again, before he can say more, "I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you...." He tried to touch her gently, his love for her stronger than ever before. Silently he begged for her not to pull back, that would hurt so much more than the pain in his chest.

She allowed him to touch her, guilt the primary emotion in her eyes. Her voice was low and wavering. "You drank twice from her?"

He nodded slowly, his face guilty and sad. His hand brushed her cheek softly, "I'm... sorry. I didn't know what was going on with the demon thing, all I saw was the rejection. I'm so very sorry. I'll do whatever you want to fix it."

"So you drank her blood twice before finding out why?! To maybe check your facts?! Think maybe something was up?!"

He nodded, "I came to you twice asking what was up, and you couldn't tell me..." His face drooped, "I should have tried harder but I can't read minds." He looked so very guilty and saddened.

"You could have gotten someone else to do it! You could have waited it out - did you wait a week,.even? You'd only been in the city a month."

He shook his head, "I.... Nobody told me, I had no idea you felt the way you did until you had Ra'idah kiss me... She didnt even tell me what you were going through." He sighed, "Nobody would tell me anything."

"I couldn't have told you. I shouldn't have even told Ra'i! That was the point." She threw her arms up in frustration.

He nodded, "I know. Bella, I don't know what I need to do to make it up to you but whatever you ask of me... It's yours.". His voice was sincere, his eyes guiltridden and sorrowful.

"I need you to leave. At least until I figure this demon situation out. I dont hate you, please don't fuck or bond yourself to anyone else while I'm working on it."

"I don't want the other bond anymore... I want it gone." He struggled with himself a moment, "But, I need to say one more thing... There was only one other person I slept with..." He frowned, he hated the truth, but she deserved it, she always deserved it.

He touched her face gently, "I need you to know everything, I don't want to lie.. not to you."

"Then get it gone. Ra'i said she can do that." He could feel her head tilt ever so slightly into his touch before she stopped herself, quirking a brow. "Who..?"

"A ghoul, Celeste." He said it plainly, he wasn't going to defend himself unless she gave him the chance. His hand stayed still on her face. "Those two are the only two since you."

Her eyes widened, lips partig in shock. "Saint? Antoinette's ghoul?"

He nodded, "She's Ra'idahs ghoul now. You know her?" He asked softly.
