1800's
Cupid Kingdom

A girl flew quickly down the hallway. She spoke rapidly to other winged cupids turning corners sharply making her long pink hair whip her face. When the group finally reached her office she started to throw orders down. The cupids nodded quickly, and with a small salute they flew out of her office. The girl watched their figures disappear with a small smile on her lips. Not even a second later she was flying all over her office filing papers. In the distance a man flew quickly down the corridor that lead to the girls office. The sound of wings fluttering made the girl look up from her paperwork. Her sky blue eyes met brown ones as a man flew in with a smile. The man was slightly tanned with short curly hair. His white wings flapped against his toned body. He wore a white cloth in a toga fashion, and a quiver hung loosely over his shoulder. "Still working Love?" He stated rather than asked. Love chuckled nervously. The man smirked, and made his way to the sofa on the opposite side of the room from her.

Love shrugged "It's not easy being in charge of the new cupids Eros." Eros chuckled and shook his head. Love smiled as she turned to face the window. Cupids were flying back and forth holding golden bows. Love let out a small sigh. It was quiet, but Eros caught it instantaneously. Love shook her head. "I should get back to work..." She mumbled weakly.

Eros stood up, and walked closer to Love. He placed a hand on her shoulder making her look up at him. She tilted her head, and forced a laugh. Eros pressed his lips into a thin line. He forced her to look at him, and he stared straight into her eyes. "Stop. You've been flying around the kingdom nonstop. You rarely sleep or take a break. You're going to drive yourself insane with all of this work!" Eros yelled. His eyebrows were knitted together, and his grip on her shoulders tightened making her wince. "I told you! I told you Love. This is what happens when you get involved with a mortal! You should have pulled out of the village when i told you too!" Eros was furious, but he wasn't mad at love. He didn't know who he was mad at, maybe at himself or the mortal boy. He didn't know.

Love stared at Eros for a long time, until tears started to blur her vision. Love insisted she was fine, however she slowly started crumble. A sob racked her whole body. Eros pulled her into a hug, and stroked her hair gently. "O-one hundred y-years Eros. It still haunts m-me... I don't think I-i could ever forgive my...self..." Love mumbled between small hiccups. She continued to weep in Eros' arms.

1700's

It was a cool winter afternoon. The kids were running off to the woods to go play hide and seek. A little girl threw on her heavy cloak and shouted "Come on Jack! Before it gets dark!" The girl jumped excitedly waiting for her brother. Jack chuckled as he threw on his cloak, and waved to his mother. Their mother gave him a 'be-careful' look and waved. Jack's little sister cheered as she skipped out the door making Jack laugh as he walked behind her.

It may seem odd that a 17 year old boy was playing hide-and-seek with a bunch of little kids, but Jack wasn't interested in doing work like the other men in the village. Yes, Jack hunted from time to time, but that was all just for fun! Jack actually liked playing with the kids of the village. They were so carefree, and laughed at his tricks. Him staying with the kids had nothing to do with the fact that many of the girls his age were already married to a more well off family than his.

Jack and his little sister found the other kids sitting in a clearing. At the sight of Jack all of the kids beamed. They all jumped up and greeted him. Jack smiled. "All right. Who's going to be 'IT'" Jack said as he tapped his chin. His smile twisted into a smirk as he stopped. He put his arms down slowly, then suddenly touched his nose after shouting "Noes goes!" All of the kids squealed as they all touched their noses. Jack laughed as well as the kids.

A girl sitting on a large branch in the tree giggled. She lazily twirled her pink hair around her index finger; with small smile lingering on her lips as she watches the group. She heard a flapping noise, and looked at who was coming. It was Eros. He stood on the branch next to her. "Love. What are you doing? I thought I assigned you the girl in the village." Eros eyed Love as she stared at the boy. She obviously wasn't listening when she laughed along with the mortals. Eros grabbed his bow, and lightly hit the top of her head. Love jumped, and glared at Eros as she held her head.

"Ow! What?" She yelled angrily.

Eros rolled his eyes. "I assigned you the girl that lives in the butcher shop. What are you doing here?" He asked sternly. Love sighed as she passed him a sheet of paper showing that she was already done with the job. He wasn't surprised. Love was always the quickest cupid in the kingdom. His gaze landed on the mortal boy that was about the same age as her. He smirked widely when he realized who the boy was. He poked Love's cheek "Love." He said in a teasing tone.

Love glanced at Eros, and blushed a deep crimson. She quickly babbled out an answer. "It's not what you think! I-It's just that... He doesn't have that special someone, and-and I want to help him! Yeah!" Love stuttered. Her and Toothina often talked about the mortal Jack. Well more Toothina than Love. This is the first time Love has actually seen Jack in person, and Toothina was so right about what she said about his looks.

"Alright, alright" Eros laughed making Love glare at him. "Don't try anything stupid, okay? I expect you to report to me frequently!" Love sighed and nodded. Eros turned and flapped his wings a few times. He looked at Love again, and smiled. "Good luck" He finally said, then flew off.

Love grinned as she jumped off the branch, and landed a couple feet away from Jack, who was still counting. Love stared at him for a moment, then smirked. 'I can TOTALLY handle this on my own.' She said in her head as she took a few steps back, and made her wings disappear. She ran her hands through her hair, turning it a light brown. She created a basket full of bread, and tucked it under her arm. Her clothes turned into mortal clothing. She took a step watching the snow crunch under her feet. She giggled making Jack open his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked his voice holding a bit of an edge. He took a few steps towards her.

Love looked up at Jack, and blushed. She completely forgot that people could hear her. She averted his gaze. "I...I.." She stuttered. She didn't know what to say. The backstory she worked on suddenly went blank. Then, a gust of wind blew past them carrying a pink dust. Love glanced up to the sky and saw Eros. She gave him a small smile of relief before he rolled his eyes and left.

Jack rubbed his eyes of the dust, and looked at Love happily. "Amelia! It's rare seeing you out of the village. Finally decided to join in on the fun?" Jack teased. His eyes went down to the basket, and quickly lifted the cloth that covered the food. He bent over and licked his lips. "These for me? I know your mom likes me and all, but if she keeps giving us free food you guys might upset the others!" Love raised her eyebrow. 'My human name Eros? Really? You could have been more creative...' Love smiled, and pulled her arm back.

Jack frowned as he glanced up at Love. She giggled. "These aren't for you. They're for the the kids. You guys have been out awhile. Thought they might be hungry." Love stated. She shivered as more wind blew. Jack chuckled, and nodded. Love handed him the basket, and started to head to the village.

Her path was blocked by the same brunette. "Where do you think you're going?" Love pouted, and pointed at the direction of the village. Jack smirked as he took out a small dinner roll. "You just got here! Why don't you help me find the kids, and we can all eat!" Jack suggested, and took a bite. He hung the basket on a branch, and wiped his hands on his pants. "Whoever finds the most kids wins?" Jack asked with a mischievous grin.

Love smirked letting her competitive spirit out. "Loser carries baby Jane all the way home?" Baby Jane was the youngest of the group, and only liked to travel when someone carries her. Her home is also the farthest from the woods, and she doesn't care if your arms are tired.

Jack laughed and stuck out his hand. "Those arms better not be tired from carrying that basket!" The two shook on it, then bolted off into the trees. Love looked behind every tree, and giggled whenever she saw one of the kids. The kids trailed behind her as she ran from one spot to the next. In less than thirty minutes Jack and Love are back at the clearing. As the two were counting Jack realized something. "Amelia... Did you find Jane?" He asked looking around.

Love looked at him confused. "I thought you found her." Jack shook his head. Love stared at him, then at the kids. "You guys should start to head home. We're going to go find Jane. Okay?" The kids nodded. Love looked at the kids a little hesitant on letting them walk on their own. "Remember. Oldest in the front and back. Make sure everyone stays together." The older kids nodded, and the kids started to walk back to the village with their bread. Love nodded off to Jack, and the two ran shouting Jane's name.

"We should split up. Just call my name is you find her." Jack said, and Love nodded. The two ran in different directions. Jack looked in every nook and cranny of the woods. He ran past a large oak, and turned sharply. He slammed into someone making the two fall over. The person yelped as they landed onto the snow. Jack winced, and opened his eyes. Love laid under him with her eyes shut tight. Jack quickly sat up, and inspected Love. "Are you okay Amelia?" Jack asked as he slowly helped her up.

Love groaned loudly. She looked at him, and nodded. She nodded her head to her right. Jack looked up, and relief washed over his features. Little baby Jane stood a couple of feet from the two. Jack started to laugh. Love stared at him, then started to laugh with him. Jane giggled, and ran to the two teenagers. "I win! I win! I win hide and go seek!" She cheered. Jack chuckled as he lifted Jane into the air. Love walked next to him silently. As the two entered the village they were greeted by Jane's worried mother. Jack handed the sleeping jane into her mothers arms. Her mother thanked the two, and wished them a good night.

The sun was low in the sky already, and Love was exhausted. Jack was kind enough to walk her home. Love was a little anxious about who her 'mother' was. When they reached the bakery the door opened before Love could even reach for the door knob. A large woman with the same brown hair as Love smiled widely. "If it isn't Jackson! Walking my cute little daughter home again? You're such a good man!" She blurted out as she pinched Jack's cheek. Jack laughed nervously.

Love's mother smiled, and let go of Jack. jack rubbed his cheek slowly. "It's no problem Annie." Jack glanced at Love as she blushed at her mother's attitude. He chuckled.

Annie clapped her hands together, and excused herself. Love looked at Jack slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry about my mother..." She apologized. Jack laughed and shook his head. Love smiled softly. "You better get home before it gets dark. Thank you for walking me Jack." She bit her lip, then hugged him. "Another game, same place?" She asked as she pulled away. Jack seemed a little stunned, but nodded slowly. Love smiled and took a step in her house. "Good night Jack." She chuckled as she closed the door.

Jack shook his head with a small smile as he headed for home. But before he left, he turned and took one last look at the bakery.

1800's
Cupids Kingdom

Love sat on the couch next to Eros. She sniffled as she rested her head on his shoulder. Eros patted her back lightly. Suddenly she stopped sniffling, and stood up. Eros fell over a bit at her sudden movement. "Eros. Assign me a mission." She looked at Eros. Her eyes held determination, and looked a bit more lively.

A large smile spread across Eros' lips. He stood up, and pulled out a slip of paper. "Think you can handle it? You haven't been on the field in a while." He smirked as he handed her a golden bow and a golden quiver. "I don't want any mistakes." He teased.

Love smirked at him, and grabbed the bow. It felt heavy in her hands. She laughed "Mistakes? Eros. Do you know who you're talking too?" She mocked. After throwing the quiver over her shoulder, she flapped her wings. Eros only chuckled, and she was off. 'Jack wouldn't want me stuck inside mourning. I'll see him again... Someday'
