A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with a new February surprise! Yay!
First thing is first. Before I talk about this story, I made a decision. Fans of the story Once Upon A Time will not have to wait that long! On my updated profile, I will post the date to the sequel! Yay! Hope you are all excited! The date will be under the Info on My Stories section, most likely at the end. It is either that or it will be on my actual intro. Who knows? I like to keep things organized.
Second thing; this story.
I want you all to know I might not like Valentine's Day and its mushy, cheesy, love thing, but I will make sure I make a few stories for Valentine's Day that are not all Bethan! I just thought Bethan was appropriate. That is all!
So I hope you like this story! It won't be long, probably ending by Valentine's Day...or at least I hope.
Drop a review and start reading already!
ENJOY!
Mission Cupid: Chapter 1: Summoning Cupid
Ethan walked through the empty halls, a plan brewing in his mind.
It was February again, and for old Ethan, it meant spending another Valentine's Day alone, knowing he failed to ask the boy of his dreams out. He would be playing video games, or watching Titanic again, eating ice cream like a loser.
But it was new Ethan this time. More confident Ethan, more handsome Ethan, more importantly, more smarter Ethan. He had a plan, and although it was sorta like cheating, he would try anyway. I mean, what could go wrong...
When you summon Cupid?
Ethan sneakily scoured the locker numbers until he found Locker 32. Locker 32 was a secret locker no one knew the password to, aside from Ethan and Benny. There they kept holy water guns, stakes, or in this case, extra magic books. Ethan unlocked it quickly and searched through the supernatural rummage. Finally, he found the spellbook he was looking for. Benny had locked it up due to previous events, but Ethan hoped it was to do more than it did with the failed love potion.
It was the spellbook dedicated to potions and influencing one's mind. Here, you could make healing potions, hypnosis potions, summon mythical creatures...
In this case, Cupid.
Ethan looked through the book to find Cupid's page. It had a rather big tear on the bottom that ripped the bottom half of the page, but Ethan ignored it as he walked out with it, a small piece of paper flying out of it as the locker magical closed itself.
The bell rang for students to go home as Ethan caught up with Benny, oblivious to the note that fell out.
Side Effects include deadly obsessions, harm, kidnapping, reverse feelings, and/or too much love.
On the bottom in scrawled letters.
DANGER: DO NOT USE. Grandma told me not to, so don't even think about it Future Benny or whoever is reading this. ~Past Benny
Ethan went home to look at the spells as he listened to the radio in his room. Suddenly, a blast of Ariana Grande emerged from its speakers. A slow but dreamy song played out. This was one of Ethan's favorites, and even if he didn't usually admit it, it was his favorite Ariana Grande and it sort of related to his love for Benny. If you know, you looked at it the right way.
"You walked in,
Caught my attention,
I've never seen,
A man with so much dimension."
Ethan hummed along as he flipped through the pages.
Love potions, hypnosis spells, healing potions. Strange as it was, they all seemed to have some side affect, for example, the hypnosis spell had a 80 percent chance that the victim could lose his or her's memory after using it. Or the love potion had victims hating the person for the same amount of time that they loved them. Ethan was surprised Cupid did not have some deadly side effect likewise to the others.
"It's the way you walk,
The way you talk,
The way you make me feel inside,
It's in your smile,
It's in your eyes,
I don't wanna wait for tonight."
Ethan finally reached the page for summoning Cupid. He read it through quickly.
"Make your own personal Cupid." He murmured, reading off the page as his eyes lowered to the instructions.
"So I'm daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only you,
Got me daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only you.
For you,
For you,
For you,
For you."
"A hair from both the lover and the victim." So Ethan had to get a snip of his and Benny's hair.
"A rose, an arrow, a paper heart?" Ethan mumbled, knowing that his mom had roses, his dad might have had some arrows from his archery set in the basement, and he could make a paper heart. He continued to read the instructions.
"Now I can't wait,
To hold you in my arms,
I know I was made for you,
I'm in love with all of your charm.
It's the way you walk,
The way you talk,
The way you make me feel inside,
It's in your smile,
It's in your eyes,
I don't wanna wait for tonight."
"Drop all ingredients into a bowl and set it on fire?" He exclaimed, knowing he should probably do this outside. "Then Cupid shall emerge from the flames and do whatever is your bidding. Be advised that you should be careful for what you wish for and that Cupid will do anything you exactly say." Ethan knew those cliched mistakes from the movies, so he continued on.
"So I'm daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only you,
Got me daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only you.
And I want you,
Got to have you,
And I need you,
Like I never have
Ever before.
Oh I want you,
Oh I need you,
Got to have you,
Like I never have,
Ever before."
"Cupid will also give you advice and instructions, so make sure you listen to him." Ethan read the final sentence before the ripped part. Ethan hoped that the Cupid would not have any side effects, or that the ripped part didn't mean much. That was a movie cliche too.
"So I'm daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only,
You got me daydreaming,
With my chin in the palm of my hands,
About you,
You and only you.
For you,"
Ethan headed out, book in his hand as he rushed to gather the materials needed, ready to get this party started.
"For you."
Ethan stood outside, heart pounding as he dropped all the ingredients into the bowl, all in the order it was read in. He had started it at exactly 8 pm as instructed. He then started the chant.
"The heavens, the gods, answer my cries"
"The only thing is clear"
"I want something tonight"
"True love has cursed me, now I need some assistance"
"A special god"
"Shooting from a distance"
"Oh please, the heavens, the one thing I need."
"Bring upon to me Cupid,"
"Help me have a find love, a result guarantee!" (Rhyme sucks, don't judge.)
Ethan then set the bowl's contents on fire, striking a match as he watched the flames turn pink.
Among the smoke popped out a familiar Valentine's Day logo, diaper and all as it shot an arrow into the sky. It fell down right beside Ethan, making him yelp in surprise.
"C-Cupid. I need your help with-"
"I know what you want kid. I am Cupid." He said smoothly, shaking his hand. "So tomorrow at noon, bring the boy down to your locker. Alone. And I will take care with the rest." He gave a grin as wide as the Cheshire Cat as Ethan nodded quickly.
"O-Okay." He stammered, not believing it actually worked. Cupid rolled his eyes.
"A stuttering freak." He muttered under his breath. "No wonder you called me."
Benny walked through the halls to Ethan's locker, as Ethan had asked him to. Benny finally reached it when he heard a whistle.
He turned around steadily, suddenly feeling like he was in some ghost town. The halls were empty and everyone was at the cafeteria. He looked around.
"H-Hello?" He stammered, feeling like someone was watching him. He then caught sight of a mythical creature, flying as his bow was directed right at you. Benny gasped; who could have summoned Cupid? His note read it all; Cupid was dangerous.
"What the-" But Benny never got to finish. Cupid grinned a sickening grin.
"Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated." He purred.
Before Benny could protest, the arrow hit his heart, piercing into Benny's shoulder blade. It didn't hurt though as Benny stumbled, dropping to the ground unconscious.
Ethan, who was hidden behind a corner, rushed up to the sleeping Benny as he pulled out the arrow. Benny was breathing, so he was luckily still alive.
Few seconds gone by and Benny's eyes opened. Ethan took a closer glance at them. They were the usual bright emerald green, but a lust of love and a glazed pink circled his pupils.
"Benny? It is me, Ethan." Ethan said, small confidence. Benny suddenly was hit with a love struck expression as he grinned like a idiot.
"Hi Ethan."
A/N- Cupid gonna cause some havoc! I am slightly excited to be honest!
