This isn't really chapter 4. This is just a short story I have written in place of it because I still don't have the chapter done and I feel really guilty. Though it should resolve any questions you may have about how Daniella had charmed Reed.
Another thing, I will probably take this down after I've completed the real chapter 4. Unless you want me to keep it up here...
Now that's over. I hope you guys like it. And to clear any issues its written in Daniella's point of view.
I felt horrible for what I had done. She didn't really deserve it. Then again nobody did. I had just charmed her boyfriend into falling in love with me. I know it's wrong, but I couldn't resist. I've always been jealous of the attention he gives her. But still what I had done was totally uncalled for. She's been nothing but nice to me, and I've been nothing but nasty to her. On the first day of class she even tried being my friend; something that no one had ever bothered to do. Sure I have Suri, but I'm pretty sure that she's just pretending to be my friend. She's never been nice to me, or anyone really.
Back to my problem, how do I reverse this charm? I never thought about the consequences when I cast it. I don't think I was even thinking. Gosh, I'm so stupid. Who doesn't think about what their casting? Only an idiot, because of what could happen...
Fifteen days before
"I've had enough!" I shrieked. I was pacing the library in my house angrily, looking through every book on the shelves for one on love spells. I didn't care what it was just as long as it had the desired effect. I would have Reed. He was charming, handsome and everything a girl would ever want. He would be mine and mine alone!
Soon I found the book. It was on the top shelf. My mother didn't want me to get into love magic. But what she didn't know wouldn't kill her...
I looked through the context of the book until I found the one I was looking for. I didn't want to change my current boyfriend, Sean. Sure he was great, but I wanted more. I wanted the thrill of what was forbidden to me. I wanted Melody's boyfriend. I read the words carefully and smiled. This spell would be simple enough.
Soon it was the next day and I lay waiting. I could easily enough get Reed alone. I had it planned out. First I would stun him, then I would find a place alone and cast the spell.
Unfortunately my plan had worked. Reed now was following me around like a lovesick puppy. Instead of the feeling victory like I thought I would have. All I felt was guilt. I had just taken someone else's boyfriend and left mine for no reason. But I had decided to have my fun and lord it over Melody, who was beyond upset. In fact she looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment... And Sean, well... decided to cross the line and help her.Truthfully I don't blame him. I was being beyond the bitch I normally was.
I find the book and turn to the page. It seems to be teasing me for the answer for it was written in a language I couldn't read. So now I have to find the book for language translating spells. It was on the lowest shelf in the corner of the room I almost never look. After I cast the spell, the words seemed to be plain English.
It told me to say the words of the spell in reverse. At least it was normal, you never know with older spells. The second I see Reed I'm going to do it. "Reverse the curse" as some would say. Too bad I didn't reverse it earlier before it took its toll. I just really wanted to believe he meant those things, but I know deep down that he doesn't and he won't remember any of it. Truthfully I wanted someone to love me unconditionally, like Melody gets.
Melody, sigh, sometimes I wish I could be her. I would be apart of one of the richest families, know that everyone who meets me loved me, and most of all actually have someone who cares about me. The Frosts are exactly like their name, cold and uncaring. They like to glide over issues instead of facing them. The Shades never have any issues or problems. Why did life have to be unfair?
Soon I found Reed and reluctantly undid my spell. I teleported after that for I did not want him to know it was me. Even though it was already too late. He would figure it out. Especially since Melody does hold grudges. And this is one insult I think that she would almost never forgive. I guess I can pride myself in that. I did break them up, which was a huge goal of mine, but at what cost? I had lost Sean forever and any self-respect I may have had. I think I'm a horrible person.
