Reid looked at Aaron and Gia with mistrust, "So where exactly is Syn?"
"Um…" Aaron couldn't think of anything to say and look at Gia.
"She has… food…poisoning!" she leaned over and whispered in Aarons ear, "That was what we told the school right?"
He nodded mutely while keeping his eyes on Reid, "Right, she has food poisoning, we went out for lunch and she ate some bad curry. We got lucky."
"Well then I'll just go and see how she's doing." Reid replied before making a move to go up the stairs.
"NO!" Gia and Aaron yelled at the same time.
Gia cleared her throat, "I mean…Syn is like puking every twenty minutes and she specifically ordered us not to let anyone in to her room because she doesn't want anyone to see her like that."
"Right…" Reid looked at her, "when can I see her then?"
"When she's feeling better!" Aaron said.
Syn clumsily ducked the swing of a sword coming her way and she rolled away from the attacking demon, her father stood in a dark corner watching the fight, "I thought Cupid's were all about love! Why do I have to fight some random demon!" she yelled at him.
"Cupids are like Whitelighters, like a Whitelighter has a Darklighter, Cupids have…um let's just call them Anti-Cupids, and-hey don't let the sword touch you!" he yelled at his daughter, "It's poisonous to us!"
"Right, Anti-Cupids," Syn mumbled, "How do I kill him?!" she yelled, kicking the demon in the face, she tried to use her telekinesis but it wouldn't work, "Powers not working!" she yelled again, "How do I kill him?!"
"The power of Love Coup yelled back and that caused Syn to stop for a moment, doing a spinning heel kick, she knocked the demon in the wall where he was knocked unconscious. Whirling on her father she pointed a finger at him, "Did I hear you right, the power of 'love'? What are we hippies?"
"Sweetheart we're Cupids, love is everything. Now concentrate feel the power that you got from me, from my father and mother and their parents before them, and use it."
Syn spun on her heel and looked at the demon that was now coming to, concentrating on her powers she felt something swell inside of her, looking at her hands she saw a hazy red mist surrounding her hands, not quite sure what to do, she pointed her hands at the demon and watched as the mist shot from her hands towards the demon. She watched as he screamed as he was consumed by the mist and destroyed. Turning back to father with wide eyes Syn looked at him, "What the hell was that?"
Coup just smiled, "Love is the most powerful thing in this universe. Let's go."
He disappeared and Syn looked at her hands, "Hey wait! Can use this on any demon?!" she disappeared after him.
They both arrived in what would be the Cupid's safe haven and Syn was met by one of their 'elders' "Well done Syn," he said.
Syn just scowled at him, she didn't really appreciate having to go through all their little tests. "Look I've gone through more tests in the past two day than I probably will in a life time, can I go home now?"
"After just one more thing, "The 'Elder' smiled and Syn groaned.
"What now? What other hoops could you possibly have me jump through?"
The 'Elder' handed her a red heart shaped ring and she looked at it with a quizzical glance, "What's this?"
"This, Syn is the ring all Cupid's wear, they use it to do their match making, to find couples in love and help them. You passed."
She looked back down at the ring with a small smile on her face but it quickly turned into a frown, "Isn't this kind of obvious? I mean well it doesn't actually go with my uniform, not to mention it's really not my style…no offence."
The 'Elder' just smiled, "None taken my dear, most of our Cupids choose to change the look of their rings."
"Well how do I?"
Coup cleared his throat and interrupted, "If I may?" the 'Elder' nodded, "Just think of the ring that you do want and wave your hand over it." Syn looked at the ring and waved her hand over it, it morphed into a dragon that curled around her finger. "C'mon sweetheart, we need to get you back to school."
Gia and Ann were blocking Reid from entering Syn's room, it had been two days and nobody had seen Syn, Reid was getting really annoyed. "I just want to see if she's alright!"
"And we told you she doesn't even want to see us, she's feeling so crappy she just wants to be left alone!" Ann said. They couldn't exactly let Reid into Syn's room when there was no one in there.
"I'm not leaving until I see her," Reid stated.
Suddenly the door to Syn's room opened and she stepped out looking a little dishevelled, like she had gotten out of bed, "What's with all the noise guys?" she made sure to make her voice a little croaky so Reid knew she had just woken up.
"Syn!" All three yelled when they saw her. Reid looked a little guilty for apparently waking her up, when in reality Syn had just gotten back and quickly changed to look like she had. Syn gave her sisters a side long glance telling them to leave, when they did she focused all her attention on the boy standing in front of her, wearing a slightly sheepish look on his face.
"Hey Reid," she smirked at him when he rubbed the back of neck looking at least a little embarrassed.
"Hey Syn, sorry about waking you up," he almost whispered "It's just you kinda just disappeared and then I was basically told that seeing you was banned, and I really don't like people telling me what to do. Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, much better, just sleepy," that wasn't a lie, after 48 hours of going through unimaginable trials that the Cupids put her through she was absolutely knackered. Reid once again looked guilty, but she grabbed his arm and pulled him inside. He looked at her confused and she just smiled, "I'm knackered, but I'm also tired of being alone, so you are going to lie down with me and be like a life sized teddy bear for me right now."
"What, C'mon Syn that's not exactly great for my image."
"Fuck your image Reid, you woke me up and now you have to face the consequences." She pulled him onto the bed next to her and curled up next to him with her hand splayed over his chest. Reid groaned but inside he was enjoying this, he finally got to be in bed with the one girl that had occupied most of his thoughts, granted it wasn't exactly how he wanted it, but it was close enough. 'maybe she's warming up to the idea' he thought to himself with a grin. He looked down to find her already fast asleep and he felt her leg slide up in between both of his. Reid suppressed a gasp when he felt it rub up against him, she had absolutely no idea what she was doing to him. Surprisingly, he was loving every minute of her sweet torture.
When Syn woke up she found that she and Reid were entangled in each other, he was on his side now facing her and one of her legs was in between his while the other was curled around his waist. She found that both of his arms had encircled her waist and he held her closely to him. She also found that Reid looked absolutely perfect while he was asleep, she smiled at that thought, he looked perfectly innocent while a soft smile graced his lips. Biting her bottom lip she shook him slightly, "Reid? Reid you need to wake up, it's like eight in the evening." Reid groaned and mumbled something that sounded like 'five more minutes,' and he buried his face in her neck. Sighing she looked around the room for a minute, she didn't really want to wake him, he looked so cute lying there, but she needed to get out of her room. Getting an idea she spoke a little louder "Reid! Reid I have to pee, c'mon let me up!" he shook his head and she let out a soft growl, she knew he was awake. "Reid I swear to god if you don't let me up right now I will pee on this bed!"
"It's your bed," Reid grumbled in her ear smirking, he opened his mouth and nibbled on the shell of her ear.
"I…" she suppressed a moan when she felt him tug at the loop in her ear with his teeth and run his tongue along the shell of her ear. "I don't care whose bed it is Reid, the point is I'll pee on it, and consequently on you considering the position we're in!" Reid growled and turned them so she was underneath him.
"You're lying," he said, before she could deny it he continued, "Don't lie to me, I can tell these things about you." He dipped his head and trailed his lips over her neck, "No I think the real reason you want to get up is that you can't handle the fact that right now I'm practically all over you and you're loving it."
"I am not lying," she replied shakily when Reid found her pulse point and bit down softly.
"Liar," he whispered, pulling back Syn felt a little moan of protest pass her lips and saw him smirk. Leaning down he was millimetres away from her lips, "You should let go a little you know, you never know, you and I could be something special," he captured her lips with his and Syn found that her arms encircled his neck. She pulled him down to her and she felt him smile against her lips. She was actually really liking this but alas all good things must come to an end. They had locked lips and were currently in a full fledged make out session, and had been for the past fifteen minutes when Ann chose to walk into her sisters room. "Hey Syn can we ta-" she cut herself off when she saw the scene before her. Reid with a hand on her older sisters stomach, creeping slightly higher with each passing moment, his other entangled in her hair while using his elbow to support his weight. Syn had one hand in Reid's hair while the other was resting on his chest underneath his shirt, all the while their legs were tangled with each others. "Oh. My. God." Ann breathed.
Right so I need a proper name for the Anti- Cupid demons not to mention one for that secret organisation thingy which will become more significant in later chapters. Suggestions would be appreciated.
