New Character? Sorry, I couldn't help myself... 'Qupid' is said like 'Cupid', capische?
Merry Christmas, all!
Angelic—Qupid's Chokehold
Devyne kept herself entirely focussed on Bella, and her project, as the day passed, excruciatingly slowly.
She heightened Edward's senses to match Bella's. She made him hyperaware of her, and tweaked his mind a little, so that he wanted to watch her all day, through the eyes of others. He would have gotten to this stage by himself, of course. Devyne was no Qupid. But she definitely sped up the process by a lot.
Speaking of Qupid, she'd been meaning to have a few words with him…
Pressing the button on her intercom, Devyne sent a message to Qupid, asking for him immediately. He knocked just a moment after she called, and she let him in. He hovered, as always, a few feet above the ground, suspended by gold wings that he kept permanently out. All of the Angels had wings, of course, but most generally kept them hidden or invisible. Not Qupid.
The man spoke first, a charming smile gracing his features.
"Ah, Miss Devyne. A pleasure, as always. Is there something I can help you with?"
She nodded curtly, trying to keep the smile from showing on her face, Qupid always had this effect on people. The rubbish about the bow and arrow was myth; his real weapon was invisible. His very presence made everyone around him feel warm, and sort of fuzzy, and so more likely to fall in love.
Devyne kept her face stern, with an effort.
"Really, Qupid, Mike Newton?! What were you thinking?!"
His cheeky smile became a grin, and then an outright laugh,
"Ah, I was wondering how long it would take you. Relax, Vyne, I meant no harm. Just a joke, you know? Sorry. I thought it was pretty funny… he's like a little dog…"
"Yeah, I guess. But he wasn't the only one, was he Qupid? What about… Eric Yorkie? Tyler Crowley?"
The Angel's smile was more forced, now, as he realised how much Devyne knew.
"Aw, come on Devyne. Let loose as little. It was just a joke… come on, you have to admit, you used Mike. I know you did, I saw you… You used the stupid attraction to Bella to your advantage… come on Devyne, admit it, it was pretty useful…"
"That was actually Destinee, not me…"
But Qupid knew, from the softening of her features, that he was forgiven. He grinned again, hovering a little higher.
"If that was all you wanted, Vyne…?"
"Hmm? Oh, yes… thank you."
Qupid rolled his silver eyes. Everyone knew that Heven's resident good girl had been distracted lately. Taking his leave, he shut the door behind him. He had other things to do, people to make fall in love…
Meanwhile Faite, sat at the controls, fiddled slightly with Mr. Banner's lesson plan for the day's Biology lesson. Blood Typing would spice up the day nicely…
