So this is a seriously AU story rated M because of all the sexual situations. It's oc centric and please review and let me know how it is.
The Box of Lust
Book 1
Chapter one
The Curse
..
Lucy drummed her fingers on her oak wood desk while doing her home work. She had finished faster than usual. Lucy was bored out of her skull and she decided to go check out her new house. It was located about two miles from the old one. She missed the old house, darn her curse magnet ways.
Her dads office was interesting for a moment but she wasn't satisfied yet. She found the study and noticed a box on top of the last shelf beside the statue of a gorgeous woman. The woman looked so real like at any moment she'd jump to life, Lucy bit her lip she'd experienced enough statues coming to life and trying to kill her.
She slid the ladder over to it and climbed up. She then dusted of the label and on it their was an inscription that was horridly faded.
The Box of Lu..
The last part of the last word was gone. She hmmed and found the key in the statue's hand. She opened the box and a bunch of dust flew into her face. She coughed and closed the box before climbing down. Still coughing from the dust she hadn't noticed the statue glow ominously or turn human. How could she have with dust in her eyes?
She internally started lecturing herself, why did she have to open boxes!? Just why did she have to give in to her temptations and open things she shouldn't?
"Oh my dear child what have you done?" Lucy looked at the woman oddly who was she? Why did she look like the statue, and where had said statue gone?
"What are you- the statue it can't just... Oh no wonder you look like it you are it uh her." Lucy stumbled in her words while putting two and two together, humanly interactions weren't her strong suit.
"Girl you have no idea what you have unleashed on your self." The woman stated Lucy looked around the room the door was gone.
"Are you going to brutally murder me now?" Lucy asked slowly returning her attention to the mysterious woman who looked offended at the thought.
"No!" She said with pursed lips. "You've opened The Box of Lust."
"That opened like two and a half years ago, seriously men are animals." Lucy stated referring to when men had openly taken a perverted interest in her.
"That happened to a lot of beautiful people honey. But that's not what I'm talking about child."
"I'm Lucy." The girl said hoping the woman would stop calling her a child.
"Aphrodite, you may call me Peper."
"Wait like the greek goddess?"
"Can I just explain why opening the box was bad?" Peper questioned annoyedly Lucy went silent waiting. "In three years you will die in a horrifically painful way."
"I thought you said you wouldn't do that?" Lucy whined.
"Not by my hand." Peper hissed. "I was trapped along side the curse. Medusa had always been furious with the gods. Athena, and I more so, Athena obvious for turning her into a monster, and me for being the love goddess and all." Peper paused the girl nodded for her to continue. "She found a witch to do her bidding in fear of being turned into stone. In three years from now a monster from the depth will rise to find you."
"I'm guessing I'm not going to like that." Lucy rubbing the back of her neck.
Grate another curse she'd sprung upon herself. Nice one Lucy way to stay out of trouble.
"The only way for it to be negated is for five men to have sex with you, hence The Box of Lust, only one or two men can be your lover but Lust has a mind of it's own."
"That's too easy." Lucy stated Peper sighed smart girl.
It wouldn't be hard to get guys.
"Three have to be apart of your family, an older brother, a cousin, uncle, or even your own father."
"They will lock me in a rubber room." Lucy cried pulling at her hair horrified at the thought.
"It has to be of their own will, if you speak of this to anyone besides an immortal. That monster will come within the hour and none of the involved can find the box or you will be turned into a boy for three years and still die." Peper paused. "And if you refuse to try and seduce them, the monster will come after you in one year. You can't fight against any mortal men whilst still under the unfinished number, be it family or not or your family with die along with you."
"Your gonna hide it for me right? And I can throw the key in the lake." Peper nodded.
"You have three years."
"Seriously? I gotta get them to want to do it? I'm good at timing things so I guess I just need to suitably change my style, and to do a few close encounters but eww." Lucy scrunched up her face. "The monster might be better, I'm not doing it with any of my family!"
"I'll keep this study hidden if you wish for advice well just willingly flip the coin." Peper stated.
Lucy left the study and it disappeared behind her. She headed to her room and decided to flop onto her bed. Her uncle Frank would be hard to keep away with out tripping the trap, but that would have to wait for december just after christmas. He always got her some skimpy skirt then again she considered all skirts over the knee cap skimpy. But she knew he snuck in her room around that time, she had felt some hands once or twice. The thought of not being able to fight mortal men off...
It had scared her the last time her uncle had touched her, and she didn't want him to touch her every again. But she had to try, and she wanted to keep her virginity. She really wanted to keep it intact for the man she married and gave her life to. She knew Aphrodite was a daughter of the fallen angels who claimed to be gods. But if she failed the curse in anyway her family would die. Plus Lucy had always stood by never judging the child for their parents wrongs.
Really she had ten guys to chose that weren't her close family hardly even. She tried to think how she acted around most men who wanted in her pants. She acted clueless, innocent, and didn't really think much. Unlike in the house her mind always caught herself. She needed to drop her guard more and be completely natural with a few timed events. Lucy covered her face with her hands she couldn't believe how easily she let it slide.
She was scared because she knew in her heart that no one ever broke the curse. No one ever made it to the end alive, and she also knew in her heart that this curse just might be the one to break what little sanity she had left. She could feel it in her bones that if she went threw it alone like everything else, she'd break.
...
The next day was saturday and she had almost a fortune stashed away. So skimpy clothes wouldn't be a problem in cost. She needed an expert she flipped the coin.
"Do you have a plan?" Peper wondered materializing from thin air.
"First a wardrobe change, nothing to obvious innocently irresistible." Lucy stated and opened the closet. "So how fast can you become a fashion expert for this century?"
"Did you honestly think I would spend all three years reading books? That's already done my darling." Peper added a french tone to hyper voice.
Hyper voice alerted Lucy to her apparent love of shopping. She mentally wailed in fear at the thought of shopping, she woed at the loss of my small fortune. Oh how Lucy hated curses that took a large chunk of her hard earned savings.
"Wait will they forget after this?"
"No you'll have to live with their new found lust forever." She had a sarcastic hint in her voice Lucy hardly noticed.
"Hey I have to-" Lucy was about to yell and blow everything but Peper covered her mouth, Lucy realized she'd missed the joking part.
"Don't if you tell them you wont be the only victim." Lucy got rather depressed at the reminder, and dropped back onto the bed to cradle her head.
Another secret to keep from her family, Lucy wanted to outwardly burst into tears. But Lucy knew better than to let herself crack before the curse even really began, monsters could be killed after all. If she trained and suitably avoided having sex she could live, or die alone. She'd die alone if she had to as long as her family stayed safe.
"Isn't there a way to break this curse without doing this?" Lucy pipped up the woman had to have some idea as to avoid sexual situations with her family.
"I'm sorry, I'll meet you tomorrow at nine with someone who might be able to help you. But either way we're going shopping."
"If it's one of the immortals please don't include Hades, Apollo, Hermes or really anyone besides Athena or that one who rules over magic. This is messed up enough why can't a girl explore her knew house without a magical curse getting in the way of her fun?"
"Actually we might need to bring Apollo and Hermes into this you know as insurance."
"Why would they bother helping a mortal they don't even know? Aren't they like two of the busiest immortals to exist, and sorry but Cupid must have taken your job he's got a holiday and everything."
"Because they owe me a thousand times over and they must have had children to take over their jobs once in a while." Peper stated matter=o-factly.
"Does the universe hate me or something?" Lucy asked.
"Maybe it's a blessing."
"I'll tell you something if you're playing a sick joke it's not funny."
"Hermes wouldn't play this kind of prank during the whole dark side roman period, I doubt he would now." And that was the last Lucy heard until breakfast the next morning.
So review and let me know what you think. By the way for future refrince her house if kinda like an japanese house in an anime.
