Solve the rubix cube: cupcake
Of love and lust
Helen sighed as she walked home, shoulders slumped, and as her soul mark pulsed showing that Geoffrey was nearby she started to smile. He remembered her, now, at least. Not like when they were young. It was her birthday yet again. She humored her parents and Geoffrey but she didn't have to enjoy it.
Honestly she didn't see the charm since her soul seemed to be cursed to die the same moment years later after she was reborn. Every soul had a quirk and hers was to die on her birthday. Helga- her first memory loved Godric and the quirk he developed was that he would always fall for her. It didn't always work out forever but she treasure those moments when they were fully in love. It was a fact that Godric was cursed to forget each redo and he would always remember late in life when they inevitably met.
Things got weird between them because of it in some lives. She looked up and found herself in front of 'their' place. The mark hummed happy. To her relief there was no party but a note from him.
'I finally remembered everything. I still bought you a cupcake for your birthday, though. It's a tradition between us. I love you and I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Love you always, Godric'
Helen froze. Godric remembering was a bad omen. She shook her head, willing those negative thoughts away, and looked at the cupcake. She smiled as she took it out of the fridge- it was a red velvet cupcake with pink icing shaped with a heart shaped candy on top of it.
As she bit into it and swallowed she felt strange. Her world began to spin a little and she felt sick. It was- she was dying. Her mind focused on the word tradition and the only tradition she knew was… no. Godric wouldn't but Geoffrey would. He wanted to be free of the red string to find someone that in his words, 'didn't look like a miniature sperm whale waddling on land.'
New personalities sometimes came out acted without conscious memory of the older ones. Helen often came out and Helga allowed it because it wasn't her life to live anymore. Yet… Helen hunted Godric down because he would always be handsome and fit. Her vision began to fade as it got hard to breathe with her limbs heavy. The cupcake fell to the floor, the heart bitten neatly through, and Helga knew no more.
Godric came home to a cooling corpse. He called the police and as they took away the cupcake and her body he felt something break inside of him. Geoffrey wrestled to the forefront and Godric retreated inside. He didn't want to live without Helga and in the end he didn't. Geoffrey was jailed and caught up in a prisoner riot was killed by the guards. It was over for this life but as a young girl and boy were born in the same town half way across the world, their souls sung the same tune and the same mark appeared on their wrists.
