Love Potion Number 9
Hey I am back with a new story, yeah me. Anyway this story popped into my head and I wanted to write it down. I hope it goes well. Well here goes.
What if Serena was a witch and she wanted a certain man by the name of Seiya to fall in love with her, the only way was to make a love potion, but what if she mistakenly gives the love potion to her arch-enemy, Darien Shield. Let's fine out what happens.
Chapter 1
Yeah it was the last day of school, I thought with glee. Finally I had graduated from high school, who would have believed that me Serena Clifford graduated from high school.
"Serena!" I heard my name called from behind me.
I shook my head from my musing and turned to see one of my best friends, Rei Hino, her raven hair fluttered in the wind like a lost fire and her purple eyes stared angrily at me, but I stopped and waited for her to reach me.
"Didn't you hear me calling you? I've been yelling your name for a mile now," Rei shouted, her full lips thinned in annoyance.
"Sorry, I was lost in thought," I laughed, rubbing the back of my head with my hand.
"You're always lost in thought, but your more in the clouds, I don't think you have a brain," Rei joked, punching me in the arm.
I winched in pain, but let it slide, Rei and I have been best friends since we were in middle school, even though we did not go to the same school, we were hardly ever seen apart.
"Where are Ami, Lita and Mina?" I asked looping my arm in Rei's as we started to walk down the street again.
"At the arcade, waiting for us, did you forget about the meeting," Rei whispered, looking around making sure no one heard us. The people milled around us, but no one was paying attention to two high school teenagers.
"Oh yeah, I was so caught up with the last day of school and graduation that I forgot," I smiled sheepishly.
"Knew you would, Ami was surprised you graduated at all," Rei laughed.
"Oh she knew I was going to pass, it was her fault that I did graduate, she chained me to my desk every night before exams making sure I studied so I would pass and refused me any chocolate," I laughed, it was a bit exaggerate but close to the truth. Ami came over my house every night and talked me into studying by bribing me with home made chocolate chip cookies that Lita had baked as a reward after each session.
"I knew she was sneaky, but hey it worked," Rei laughed and I could not help but joined her.
The sun was beaming at me up in the cloudless sky, making me smile that summer was here and school was over for good, until September when University starts. I groaned inwardly as I thought of more school. I was going to forget all about University until I found my calling; I wanted to be a veterinarian. I loved animals and I wanted to help them when they get sick. I sighed as we neared the arcade with its flashing lights. The automatic doors slid opened as we strolled in and the noise assaulted our ears. Kids running around playing video games and rowdy teenagers celebrating the end of school, I smiled at all the free spirits. Rei pulled me out of my thoughts again when she dragged me over to a booth containing three of my other best friends. Mina with honey gold hair and sky blue eyes, porcelain skin and a body that a model would cry for; curves in all the right places with ample breasts that she enjoyed showing off, then there was Lita, the tom boy of the group, with mahogany brown hair always pulled up into a high ponytail with two pieces of hair fluttering against her ears and see green eyes. Lita was the tallest girl of the group and a fighter, always looking out for her friends, her tone stomach and lean build told of a lot of workouts at the gym and karate class. And last there is Ami, the smart and kind person of our group, with white-blue hair and ocean eyes she was the shortest person of the group and very shy, except when it came to school, she was bold when she argued about how important school was with a passion. Ami wanted to become a doctor. With her mousy frame and small breast she appeared to most people the pretty girl next door that you wanted to be friends with but not date.
"Hey guys," I laughed, taking a seat by Lita.
The red booths cushion felt a little sticky but I didn't mind, it must have been the heat.
"Serena, Rei, it's about time you showed up, we been waiting forever for you," Lita huffed, tapping her nails on the table.
"Sorry guys it was my fault, I forgot," I said, batting my long lashes, knowing that my puppy dog look might defuse her anger.
Luck was on my side it did, Lita sighed shaking her head before smiling at me. Rei sat by Ami and now that we were all here it was time to get down to business.
"So, are you sure you guys want to do this?" Ami piped up in hush tones.
"Yes, I been in love with him since forever and he has yet to pay any attention to me," I sighed, "I can't take it anymore I need him to fall in love with me."
"I agree with Serena, I love Darien but he never pays attention to me either, besides were not hurting anyone," Rei said, keeping her voice low. "We all got someone who we love but they don't love us, what the harm in making them love us."
"I know, but what about the code, harm none," Ami retorted.
"We are not harming anyone, we are just pushing them a little, they will fall in love with us eventually," I said, rolling my eyes, Ami was always the worry wart.
"I know, but the book explains that in order for the potion to work the person can't be in love with you when he drinks it, because if he is already in love with you the potion might not work or it will work double making the person obsessed with you until you return his love," Ami explained, going over the potion again. "What if something goes wrong?"
"Nothing is going to go wrong, Seiya has no feeling for me I know and even if he does I will not reject him and love him all the more, nothing will go wrong Ami," I assured her. "I say we create the potion tonight and use it at the party on friday," Rei said, her eyes fell on the door and a sigh of bliss escaped her lips.
Turning my attention away from the girls I found what was holding my hot headed friends attention. I grimaced at the sight. It was Darien Shields that she was staring at; he was tall, muscular with jet black hair and midnight blue eyes with a wide chiseled jaw and high cheek bones on his tan skin. He was good looking I had to give him that but he was a creep with a capital C. He was always teasing me, about my hair, just because I wear my blonde hair in pigtails with two buns atop my head does not give him the right to call me Meatball Head, I loathed that name. I loathed him.
Next to come in and it was my turn to sigh was my hearts desire, Seiya Shields, Darien's twin brother. He had the same jet black hair but Seiya hair was longer and ways worn in a low ponytail, and where Darien was muscular Seiya was lean and toned, because he played a lot of sports and his face was more soft and pale, with kissable lips and high cheek bones. The one thing that they both have in common was the midnight blue eyes.
"Seiya is so dreamy," I whispered, never taking my eyes off of him.
"So is Darien, man I love twins," Rei laughed.
"Hey, over here, Darien, Seiya!" Lita cried, waving her hands in the air.
Pink tinted both mine and Rei's cheeks as they started to come over our way.
"Lita why did you do that," I seethed, but she could not answer, within seconds both Seiya and Darien were sitting at our table, pulling two chairs from another table to sit with us.
"Hey girls, what's up?" Darien asked, winking at me.
I sat up straight not understanding the sudden wink and was taken back; my cheeks flushed anew turning my pink cheeks red. I narrowed my eyes into slits thinking he was just teasing me again.
"Hey Seiya," I said, trying to think of something cool to say, but my brain had a mental break down and I could not think of anything else.
"Hey Serena, must be glad to be done with school," Seiya said, bored, his eyes scanning the room.
"Yep, are you going to University?" I asked lamely.
"Nope, got a record deal at Moon industries and will be cutting my first record sometime next year," Seiya replied, before his eyes glazed over, "See you kids later."
Then he was up and strutting away from our booth, watching with love sick eyes I saw him approached a busty girl with long brown hair and tiny waist, she wore a Carmel mini skirt and a white t shirt, he leaned over and whispered something into her ear. I cringed as she giggled and playfully slapped his chest. I burned with jealousy as I watched them walk out the door. Turning back to my friends with a frown I noticed Darien watching me.
"What are you looking at?" I demanded, my anger getting the better of me.
Darien just shrugged, turning his attention to the girls and started a conversation with them, I would have joined in but my mind was too full of Seiya and now more then ever I was going to make that love potion and give it to Seiya making him fall head over heels in love with me and then he will never look at another girl for the rest of his life. I smiled determined now to make Seiya mine.
It was past eight when we left the arcade and with the five of us we headed to Rei's temple to make the potion. We had all the ingredients and the potion book. I smiled thinking about how we obtained the book. Rei found the book in her grandpa study under the restricted section and we thought it would be fun to use it. Being a witch has to have it upside. Now don't get me wrong, we were responsible and followed the rules of the coven but we are not like those Wiccan's want-a-be. My friends and I are true witches coming from a long line of witches. I been studying witchcraft since I was a mere baby, taught to me by my mom as well as the rest of the girls, it was a surprise that we found each other in middle school and started our own coven working simple earth magic and potions. Ami was the potions master and it was her that we relied on most when it came to making potions. I sighed again as we headed up the stairs to Rei's temple. The stairs were long and murderous to our feet's and of course I was the only one who complained the whole way up the stairs. My blue eyes full of fake tears as my feet ached; I know I was being a baby, but hey those stairs gave me thousands of blisters so I had every right to complain. After yelling at me, Rei lead us to a small house on the side of the temple and we followed her in silently, it was the fire room that we entered and a huge fire blazed in the center of the room, we all sat around the fire as Ami brought out the potions book.
"Okay, for the spell we need a fresh rose petal, a red candle and a piece of his hair," Ami read.
I dug in my purse and brought out my ingredients as the other girls including Ami.
"Are you going to make Grey fall in love with you?" I asked the shy Ami.
Ami shook her head no, "Zack, he smart and intelligent, and a good match for me."
I nodded in understanding, Zack was my older brother but I never knew Ami had the hot's for him. Zack was older by three years with long blonde hair and ice green eyes, he was always cold towards my friends and never wanted to stay around when they were over, he was a loner and didn't have many friends, he is in the middle of becoming a doctor himself and decided that friends and a love life would take away from his studies so he just forgot everyone and studied every waking moment that he was not in class.
Ami handed us each a crystal clear cup and instructed us to allow the petal to float into the glass, I watched as a small gust of wind caught my petal and slowly it drifted up into the air before gravity took over and it settled within my cup, next we each lit a red candle and held up the hair of our desire ones to the flame and let it burn while chanting words of power.
"Let him love me with all his life, let him love me throughout the night, let our souls bond as one lest we never part," We chanted three times.
The hair now burnt and it ashes fell upon the petal, we coated the petal with wax, then we crumbled up the petal until it was in tiny pieces.
"Now we have to slip this in their drinks when they are not looking at the party Friday night and once they lay eyes on us they will forever be in love with us," Ami said, closing the book, "The only problem is the potion can be broken. The only thing that can break the potions spell is soul-mates kiss of love; if anyone of our guys finds their soul-mate and fall in love with them and kisses them the spell will be broken."
"That will never happen, they will be so in love with us that they will never look for their soul-mates and wouldn't dare cheat on us," I said confidently even though the butterflies of doubt danced in my stomach.
"I hope this works," Rei whispered to herself.
We all nodded and blew out our candles, taking my cup I adjourned for the night saying my farewells before heading off home.
That night I placed the cup on my window sill allowing the moon light to give it extra powers so the potion will work. I changed into my night clothes and shuffled into bed, dreaming of the night when Seiya will be mine.
That is it for now people. This is the first chapter in my new story and I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to review, next chapter will come soon. Smile.
