"Please, please let me watch an episode with you."
Half an hour has passed since Umbrella watched the Kibougamine Academy episode. Since then, the possessed bear, Monokuma, was insisting ad nauseam to see another episode.
"Well, well, you win! But if you say a word to anyone about this, and Hungern will eat you alive." The bear laughed at his victory and sat on the bed next to Umbrella.
"Well. Let's see, hey. Here's one from Cupid!" Umbrella shouted before pressing the button to play the next chapter.
Bloody love.
Love. A shitty joke, a putrid feeling that takes away your emotions one by one until you become an empty shell of what you used to be.
For Cupid. Love stopped making sense, how was that possible? The answer was a boy, whom she loved. She loved him so much, that the girl was fooled by that person, she loved him so much with such passionate fervor and fire, that she would make a fool of a dragon.
But that fire went out like the solid of the wind to a weak candle. Cupid's heart broke like glass breaking into a thousand pieces, although everyone saw that the girl maintained her charming smile. Easily, if one were detail oriented or stopped to look. It was as if that happy and loving smile was like a poorly made smile, as if her cheeks had been sewn shut by a blind man.
Outside. Cupid was still the same girl who sought to unite the destiny of monsters in love, but. Who said she didn't feel jealous or upset?
See those couples united. Kissing, loving, touching, hugging. Cupid pretended to say that it was beautiful, but in reality, for her only everything was shit, horrible and vomiting scenes, which made the goddess of love feel an uncontrollable desire to expel the poison in her.
There was only one thing that kept Cupid in his characteristic mood. Nobody knew it, but love was a drug for her. It was said, in dead languages, that cherubs were beings of love who, when they saw a couple in love, shot them with an arrow so that love would increase, not only for the benefit of the couple, but for the being as well.
Cupid, as goddess of love. Love was an aphrodisiac and exquisite aroma, while he saw infidelities as a cancer for romance. Not only did the goddess of love relapse from the impulse of wine, but the love of other monsters was enough to keep her destroyed mentality at bay.
Another day began. Cupid was woken up by the painful and rumbling sound of her alarm clock. When the girl opened her eyes she turned off the alarm clock and woke up with a taste of vomit in her mouth. The moment she sat down on her bed, she noticed that there were wine bottles and glasses around her, all empty.
For Cupid, this was not something out of the ordinary. Every night, she went to Monster High, the first thing she did was look for wine and lock herself in her house to drink alone. It was no wonder that she would wake up to complaints from her neighbors or to the police banging on her door in the midst of her drunkenness; in fact, she was once arrested for hitting a police officer. It was a miracle that Bloodgood hid everything and Spectra never posted anything on his spectral blog.
The girl jumped up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. For a moment, peace seemed to caress her body but she was interrupted by a call. That bothered her, since she was the goddess of love and the highest-ranking advisor on romantic issues, she received from 100 to 200 calls or 3,271 messages a day.
Cupid didn't respond, his hangover was like nails in his brain and he wasn't in the mood to listen to someone with love problems. After bathing, the girl went to get dressed and the moment she opened the closet, she saw a calendar with a day marked, a day, that she wished she would never arrive.
Every year. On Valentine's Day, in addition to Draculaura's birthday, Bloodgood organizes a party where all couples could go to celebrate a unique and incredible night with their girlfriend or boyfriend. In the past, Cupid loved this party, but as time went by, this celebration made her want to lock herself in his room and never come out, but, because the date coincides with the vampire girl's birthday party. She couldn't miss it.
"Shit." It was the only thing that escaped her lips and she closed the closet before putting on her clothes. After that, the girl came down and sighed angrily when she saw that the house was a total mess. The furniture was overturned. broken dishes, broken wine glasses and she could also notice that on the floor there was a photo of a child that was in a heart-shaped frame.
The moment she looked into the Chinese man's eyes, she dropped the painting to the floor and stepped on it before walking to the kitchen. The goddess of love grabbed a cup that was lying around and poured herself a glass of wine. The girl looked at the glass for a moment and threw it away before drinking the entire bottle of wine.
After "eating breakfast", the girl grabbed her car keys and immediately left for Monster High. On the way she thought, how could she avoid going to Draculaura's birthday party? The goddess of love did not have any problem or conflict with the vampire girl, but what was the point of going to a party where everyone would be with her partner, and she would be the only girl sitting around watching the others being happy?

"Cupid!." The girl came out of her thoughts only to see roots stopping her car and then she heard someone and when she turned around, she saw it was me.
"Benja?."
"Cupid, you were speeding enormously. You were close to veering off the road." The girl looked ahead and saw between the roots that she could have almost fallen down a ravine having been so deeply immersed in her thoughts.
"I did not notice." Cupid's heart was beating so hard that at any moment it would leave his body.
"Cupid. Have you been drinking again?" My question was like an arrow and the girl just lowered her head. This was a secret between the two of us.
"Come on. I'll take you to Monster High." I said as I started to fly but the girl shook her head.
"No. It's okay, I can still drive." When Cupid was about to start the engine, the girl saw that I put my hand on hers, looking into her eyes with concern. That made the girl sigh in defeat.
"Alright." I smiled upon hearing that and let Cupid park his car on the road before flying away with me.
Cupid sighed a little happier as he felt the wind on his face. This was perhaps one of the few things that relaxes her a lot and that is feeling the wind in full flight.
"Is it true, Cupid?" The girl was snapped out of her thoughts by my sudden question, and she could hear from my voice that I was nervous.
"What are you talking about?." Cupid responded with another question but the girl could see that she was moving my hands with some fear.
"Do you want me to be your partner at the Valentine's dance?" My words came as a strong shock to the girl, she fell silent due to the sudden question.
"It's just. I got your message last night, asking if you wanted me to be your dance partner and, umm. I wanted to know if you meant it." Cupid discreetly checked her cell phone and she was paralyzed when she saw that it was true.
"Benja, honey, cutie. I want to ask you if you have a partner for the Valentine's dance next week."
"No, actually. I thought about inviting Frankie but..."
"Then it's decided. Would you like to be my dance partner on Wednesday night?"
"Wait. Are you serious?"
"Super serious. Come on Benja, accept, do it for me, please."
"Me. I have to think about it a little, let's talk about this tomorrow, okay?"
"Cupid?." The girl snapped out of her trance and stared at me.
"Umm, yes. I remember, I'm sorry and umm. What do you think?" The girl asked curiously making me blush.
"I'd love to."
Cupid's heart stopped. A mistake, a small, innocent, slight accident had created something she never thought would happen. The girl's cheeks heated up as her heart slowly began to beat very strongly.
"Are you serious?." Cupid asked wondering herself if she had heard correctly.
"Yes, well. I would love to, we don't talk much other than on the radio and besides I don't want you to be alone." I said with a shy smile.
The girl's face was now red. In her life, no one had ever worried about her loneliness, because she spends too much time on the radio, she often forgets about her social life away from the microphone, which is why Cupid was sometimes labeled as a lonely girl.
"Cupid." The girl came out of her thoughts when she saw that now the two of us arrived at the doors of Monster High.
"So, do you want to be my dance partner?" I asked with a shy smile looking at the goddess of love.
"I'd love to, umm. Would you mind if you came with me to the mall later to pick out a dress for me? I just don't have much experience when it comes to fashion." Cupid said with a nervous smile playing with his curls.
"Sure, I'll see you after class." I said smiling before entering the school leaving the girl behind.
Cupid was processing everything she heard and saw. The girl couldn't believe that because of her alcoholism she had gotten an invitation to be someone's dance partner. Her heart beat with happiness, joy and pride. Without realizing it, she did something she had never done before in years.
"It seems that the little bird spread its wings."
A bitter taste came to Cupid when he heard that voice. When he turned around he could see Toralei with his friends. Seeing the mocking smiles on their faces, the girl had to suppress her desire to beat them up.
"What do you want, Toralei?" Cupid asked seriously making Toralei laugh.
"What do I want? Oh well, you see, Draculaura's silly birthday is coming up and I don't want to be alone that night and neither do any of my friends, we thought maybe you could lend us Benja."
The world stopped for Cupid. The girl's heart was pounding and the blood in her veins was burning like lava, the goddess of love was struggling to stay out of it before she sighed, took a deep breath and spoke again, this time seriously.
"Not in a million years, Toralei. Benja is mine, he asked me to the dance, not you." The girl said seriously and firmly but then she saw the cat girl and her friends walk past her with mocking smiles.
"Okay, but remember. We always have tricks up our sleeves." The three cat girls laughed at Toralei's words as they left.
Cupid was angry, she tried to speak but then she saw something in her arms. Her veins were turning dark, immediately she ran into the school, the goddess of love avoided everyone's gaze no matter how many monsters she bumped into. She entered her radio studio where the deafening sound of the calls hit her like the slap of a dragon's tail.
Cupid didn't waste any time, the girl immediately sat down and started answering the calls one by one. Slowly, the calls stopped and little by little, Cupid's veins began to return to normal. These were the consequences of a god of love.
Infidelities, breakups, fights, toxicity in relationships. These qualities were poison for a god of love, a secret, one that perhaps no one knew was that Cupid needed love, not only because it kept her strong and kept her power, it was one thing in particular, something more.
Cupid fell into the web of love years ago when she met that young man who once obsessed her, fighting for that boy's eyes to rest on hers, even if it was just for once. But that never happened, when it was time to return to Monster High, she never heard from him again. Letters, messages, calls, everything fell into oblivion.
Since then. Love not only became a hobby and a work of God, it became his drug. Cupid very seriously needed love to keep her mind distracted and sane, she loved the relationships of other monsters because that way, she could get what she needed, something that the girl never managed to get at her time. The love of a person.
The wine made her forget about her hatred and broken love, his advice eased her anger at her cowardice, his kindness hid her broken heart, his smile hid the deep pain in her soul, and the love that consumed her made her feel sad. It felt better, even if it wasn't enough.
The goddess of love got up from her chair and walked to a closet where she discreetly took out a bottle of wine and a glass. She never showed this kind of thing to Bloodgood or Rochelle, otherwise, her expulsion would be immediate. Cupid at that moment he saw something else that was hidden, she slowly grabbed it and looked at the photo of the boy who broke his heart.
Cupid grabbed the photo and with a lighter, began to burn the photo until it was reduced to ashes. Her eyes, cold as death and her face devoid of feelings, the girl only watched the fire consume the old photograph before approaching her chair with her glass of wine before drinking. In front of her, there were screens monitoring each place in Monster High observing each couple united.
Between drinks, Cupid at that moment saw something on the cameras and when he zoomed in he could see that it was Toralei and me. Without thinking, the girl activated the audio.
"Come on Benja. Come with me to the party tonight, I can promise you it will be the best night of your life." Cupid squeezed his cup as he heard Toralei's flirtatious tone and purr.
"I already told you, Toralei. I'll be busy with Cupid looking for her dress for Draculaura's birthday party, too. I'm not interested." I said in a sincere and literally serious tone. That made Cupid smile but then she heard the next thing.
"Don't you get tired of being with that boring bow tie? I can give you a lot of fun, not for nothing, cats are very loved." Cupid opened his eyes when he saw that Toralei was getting very close to me.
"Toralei, wait. What are you doing?"
The sound of the wine bottle falling echoed the room, Cupid's eyes trembling as the glass in his hand shook from the pressure. On the screen, Toralei was giving me a kiss on the lips, no matter how much I tried to separate, the girl refused and trapped me in her arms while her friends laughed with perverted smiles watching the scene.
The cup gave way, Cupid was so shocked watching the screen that she never noticed that due to her anger the cup exploded in her hand due to anger. Cupid's heart was pounding as she clenched her teeth so hard that surely if he had bitten her lip it would have started to bleed.
"The party is at eight. Don't forget, cutie." Toralei smiled mischievously at me and left while her friends blew kisses to where I am while I was against the door of my locker stunned by the kiss.
Cupid had his eyes fixed on the screen in complete silence. Seconds, minutes, hours. Time seemed meaningless to her. For once in her life, the girl managed to get the opportunity to have something close to a date and suddenly, everything falls apart. The girl hit the radio console over and over again getting tighter and tighter grabbing her chair and breaking the screen where she saw everything.
Was fate against him? Was she unlucky? Because?. She always helped the monsters find the love of her life, because she couldn't have someone who cared, who would think of her as more than just a tool to give advice, was that how everyone saw her?
Cupid raised her head and saw in front of her more photos of the girl next to the boy who broke her heart. In a fit of rage, she began to tear, remove and destroy each photo with her bare hands before falling to her knees in tears.
Why was she weak? Why did she feel like trash? Because despite being an expert in love, she has never had relationships before? She didn't know if it was because of the wine in her dress or because of the boy, but Cupid felt trampled upon seeing everyone's smile with her couples. Each monster with his boyfriend or girlfriend, see them smiling, hugging and loving each other. They would be nothing but outside of her for her.
Cupid plopped down staring at the ceiling in silence, slowly pulling her icon out of her pocket to see a photograph between her and me. There was something in my eyes, something that made her feel strong, safer, freer, less weak. Slowly she placed the cell phone on her chest in silence contemplating the gloomy emptiness and the silence that a pin could easily break.
"They are nothing without me. They are nothing without me..."
Over and over again, she said that as her only thought, like an eternal record as slowly those words began to make sense to her. The monsters came to her aid, they asked for advice, they abused her knowledge for being her "friend." While she had to rot away seeing everyone happy, why couldn't she have the same? Would she be alone forever?
No. Why did she have to suffer? Was this fair? See the monsters laughing and smiling? Were they smiling and laughing because of their happiness, or because of the misery and sadness of the only person who helped them? Were those bastards taking advantage of her? They only saw her as a tool, a toy that would later be forgotten?
Cupid slowly stood up. Her gaze no longer reflected those eyes full of happiness that one could have known, her hair, pink as a cake, seemed to darken its tone until it was the color of an eternal night, her wings met the same fate, her skin was still white. like porcelain but his arms were covered with black veins.
Without saying anything, the girl turned around and opened it before closing the door to her study behind her, leaving all the chaos behind. Her soul seemed to be gone, her eyes were as cold as a living dead person, and her steps and her heels echoed in all the hallways in such a loud way that it made one feel that instead of the halls characteristic of Monster High. It seemed like she was walking in a morgue.
She didn't know where her feet were taking her, she didn't know where to look or what to say. Her lips seemed sealed like the lips of a doll and her eyes were stuck like two stakes. When she least expected it, Toralei's laughter echoed through the room and now she was seeing the girl with her friends at the lockers.
"Hey, look." The girls' eyes turned at Meowlody's statement and saw Cupid. They seemed unfazed by her sudden change in her.
"What's wrong little bird, did the cat eat your tongue?" Toralei asked in a mocking tone, looking at Cupid before caressing her cheek but then, the cat girl's arm was caught in the hand of the goddess of love.
"Hey, let go of me!!."
How many times did Toralei make his life miserable? Cupid remembered everything. Teasing, jokes. She always made the love goddess's life a living hell because the cat girl knew every single one of her secrets no matter how well she hid them.
All the time, Cupid felt like a caged bird, and all because? Because at any moment, Toralei and her friends were going to tell her darkest secrets to Bloodgood. But that did not matter anymore.
"I told you to let me go!" Cupid let go of Toralei's hand the moment the girl's claws cut her cheek. Cupid could feel her blood gushing from the wound, but. Why didn't she hurt? Why couldn't he feel the anguish or the annoyance? Because he couldn't think of anything as he felt her warm blood caressing and running down her porcelain cheek.
"Hey, are you okay?" Cupid noticed Meowlody's hand touching her cheek and again Cupid grabbed the girl's arm tightly.
Cupid felt her blood boil, she felt furious, she felt indignant, she felt disgusted, she felt full of anger. With a force impossible to describe, and in a fit of fury, Cupid lashed out and with a swift movement Meowlody's arm broke and bent in a morbid manner with his elbow dislocated and her arm now broken.
Meowlody's heartbreaking scream echoed throughout the hallway as she fell to the floor in agony. Purrsephone tried to attack Cupid but the goddess of love was faster and grabbing the other girl's head, she hit the door of a locker, breaking it. complete before releasing the girl's body with blood staining the locker.
Toralei fell to the ground with terror in her eyes like a real scared cat, the moment she tried to run, Cupid attacked with a kick that threw the cat girl's body into the lockers, opening the doors and letting all the objects fall. In an effort to escape, Toralei attempted to crawl away but only had Cupid step on her head, leaving the girl unconscious with blood on her head due to her heels.
The goddess of love turned around, and could see Meowlody crawling on the ground with his only arm, his body was in agony and he couldn't move his legs. Cupid walked and saw one of Clawd's trophies, the girl grabbed the trophy and approached the cat girl before kicking her stomach and in a fit of anger, Cupid hit the girl's head with the trophy again and again until she was unconscious.
Cupid looked at the bodies of his bullies on the ground. A slight smile appeared on her face as she felt satisfaction, but then she saw something in Toralei's locker. She slowly walked towards her and her eyes opened wide. In front of her, there were old letters, letters that the goddess of love recognized instantly. The same handwriting, the same ink, the same name at the end.
Without hesitation. She grabbed the cards before grabbing Meowlody, Purrsephone, and Meowlody's legs before she started dragging them. The girl instantly recognized the letters, so she was not searching, she was demanding an answer, now.
Toralei began to wake up, the first thing her eyes saw was a place full of cauldrons and anvils, she tried to move but saw that her hands were trapped in a tube and firmly chained.
"I'm glad you woke up." Toralei looked ahead in terror and could see Cupid in front of a sink before showing a knife, that scared the cat girl, she struggled to speak but her mouth was gagged tightly. She heard footsteps and saw the goddess of love putting the knife in front of the cauldron before approaching where Toralei is.
"The letters. Where did you get them from?" Cupid grabbed the tape on Toralei's mouth and aggressively removed it regardless of the damage.
"What letters? I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Suddenly Cupid gave Toralei a strong blow, the girl spit out blood at the sudden attack.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, those letters. Tell me where you got them from, now!!." Cupid shouted before punching Toralei's face again and again until. Blood flew across the floor and after the beating, the cat girl's cheeks were swollen as was her eye, Toralei spit out blood and one of her teeth.
"Your office. We found the letters in your office, we wanted to play a prank on you, but then we found those letters." Toralei said with difficulty due to the bruises on her face.
"Tell me more." The cat girl trembled in terror as she saw Cupid's fist above her that she threatened to continue attacking.
"I don't know any more, I don't know any more I swear!" Toralei screamed as Cupid suddenly hit her again harder than before as the cat girl begged for mercy.
"Your house!." The goddess of love stopped when she heard those words from Toralei.
"What?." Cupid stood up and grabbed a bucket of water before throwing it in Toralei's face making the cat girl cough before being grabbed by her shirt.
"Repeat what you said." Cupid said with venom in his voice while the cat girl shivered in fear and cold.
"We decided to follow you, and we saw that every day after school, we see you happy holding a letter. We didn't know why you were so happy for a fucking letter, so I sent Meowlody and Purrsephone every day to look for the letter you wanted so much and we realized that a boy named Dexter was writing to you."
"It was all a joke, we wanted to return your letters, I swear!"
Cupid stood with her eyes open as if in front of her she was contemplating the end of the world. Slowly, the girl walked and picked up a letter that was written last month. And the letter said:
"Dear Cupid. I am very happy that you are well at Monster High, I am fine, lately I have been following the advice you gave me, and. I feel that I am beginning to have more courage to be able to approach Raven, I am writing this letter to you as Thank you and I hope with all my heart that you are well and that you are having a great semester at your school. Write to me when you can, with love. Dexter."
The girl looked at another letter and with her hand trembling with insecurity and fear, she held it between her fingers and opened it before reading.
"Hello Cupid. You don't know how much I appreciate the help you gave me the other week, I was able to invite Raven on a date! I'm very happy, tonight will be our first date and I'm very nervous, I didn't receive your letter, but I must It may be because they may take a long time. Still, I hope you are doing well and I hope you are having a great day at Monster High. Love, Dexter."
One letter stood out among all. Cupid, with his heart already on the verge of collapsing and tears on the verge of falling from his eyes, he grabbed the newest looking letter. A letter from a week ago, and it said.
"Cupid. It's me, Dexter. I know you must be busy and maybe don't have time to respond, I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I finally took the first step and finally, Raven and I are dating. I'm writing this letter to you as a way of goodbye because now I will go with my brother and Raven back to the castle for the holidays. I hope you are well and please write to me, thank you very much Cupid."
Something slipped off the letter and fell to the floor. Slowly, the girl leaned over and when she lifted the object she saw in front of her the photo of Dexter with Raven on what would possibly be her first date, and where they had her first kiss.
Cupid's heart was shattered, she dropped the letter while her gaze was lost in nothingness itself. She lost her chance at something priceless, she lost her chance to be with the one she loved most in the world, all because? For a joke.
A laugh escaped his lips, slowly the laughter grew more and more until he began to laugh hysterically and madly grabbing his head. A sea of tears escaped her eyes as the smile on her face only grew and her laugh became so big and full of madness, that it would leave even the devil himself frozen with fear.
Toralei was terrified to see Cupid slowly fall to his knees laughing uncontrollably but then that laughter slowly died down while the cat girl did not dare to speak, until an eerie silence was present.
"You know something, Toralei?" The cat girl's words automatically returned to her mouth as she saw the goddess of love slowly rising to her feet.
"I don't mind someone practicing love like me, but you know what really bothers me? They are those people who get into issues where they should never get involved." Cupid slowly turned around showing a smile despite his eyes red from crying.
"That was a really funny joke, wasn't it? Messing with something that's very important to me, huh? That was fun for you? Come on, laugh." The girl said, still maintaining the smile that she was beginning to worry Toralei.
"Laugh, come on. Laugh." The cat girl began to sweat profusely when she saw that Cupid was approaching her in a robotic way, which made Toralei want to run away from her.
"Laugh!" Suddenly Cupid kicked Toralei hard in her stomach while the goddess of love laughed at her before continuing to kick the girl's stomach until she cried in pain.
"Cupid, stop, you're hurting me!" Toralei closed her eyes and watched as Cupid slowly began to walk away.
"Pain? Is that what you feel? Do you feel pain? The same pain as me?" Cupid looked at the knife that he left in the cauldron earlier and took it out seeing that the edge was red hot.
"The pain you feel, is it something like this!?" Toralei suddenly screamed in horror and pain as Cupid suddenly put the hot knife on the cat girl's arm causing the flesh to burn and her skin to melt from the heat.
"Or like this!?" Cupid grabbed the knife and stabbed it into Toralei's leg causing her to scream in pain so loud that surely the world could hear her.
"You don't know pain." The cat girl had to fight not to cry or scream in pain as she saw Cupid suddenly put the knife near Toralei's throat.
"I spent my days waiting for some son of a bitch to write to me and in the end that bitch leaves with a bitch, all because a shitty cat put his paws where he shouldn't have." Toralei was sweating from pure terror as she felt the knife gently caressing her face, despite it no longer being as hot as before, its edge cutting through her fur like butter.
"Every day, and when he said all, it's every fucking day. I spend my time helping monsters with their fucking romantic problems. Oh cupid help me, my boyfriend gave me this and I don't know what to tell him. I don't give a shit!!." The cat girl was now backing up until she was against the wall as she saw Cupid's rising anger.
"Every day it's the same old story. Cleo fighting with Deuce, Clawd getting scared by Draculaura, Lagoona asking about Gil. But what about me!? Every fucking call that comes into my Icoffin is those fucking idiots. asking me for help without stopping like a fucking maid!" Cupid slowly started laughing again and grabbed Toralei's cheeks tightly.
"I am no one's servant, I am a goddess, the goddess of love!" Suddenly Cupid slapped Toralei making the girl laugh before continuing to slap her again and again laughing.
"But you know what was the worst!?." Toralei was now looking directly into Cupid's eyes now that the distance between them was very short.
"You shitty kitten. You got into my life, you ruined my life, and now, I see you're going after Benja, the only person who cares about me. Well, do you want to know something? I won't let you touch him." The girl's smile grew bigger and bigger until she showed her teeth.
"I saw what you did, I saw what you clearly did. You dirty cat shit, you kissed Benja in front of me and you're trying to get him away from me, huh? Well, you know what? You could have done it with Dexter, but you'll never do it with him. "
"Cupid please forgive me, it was a joke. I just." Toralei was interrupted when the knife pierced her shoulder with inhuman force and she began to cry not only from pain, but from terror.
"For you, it's all jokes Toralei, but it's okay, it's okay. I can make jokes too." Cupid slowly stood up and with a smile walked to one of the anvils where a hammer was and grabbed it.
"I heard a rumor, that cats have more than one life. I want to see, if it's true." Toralei struggled to free herself, beginning to scream and beg for help, looking at the monster in front of her in search of mercy or some trace of the kind goddess of love.
"Cupid, please stop, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me!! Please forgive me..."
Everything fell silent when the first blow of the hammer resounded. Toralei's head was bruised and bleeding in agony, the cat girl's eyes widened in horror and the moment she wanted to scream again a second hammer blow silenced her.
Three hammer blows, four hammer blows, five hammer blows. Toralei's blood slowly began to stain the floors as the noise of bones breaking and flesh being crushed echoed through the room, Cupid's clothes slowly began to stain as she went on and on until the hammer hit the floor in dry.
Cupid stood up and looked with his eyes at Toralei's motionless body, his head shattered into a mass of blood, flesh and broken bones. A sound reached his ears and he saw with his eyes Purrsephone and Meowlody who had woken up, the two girls were gagged and tied. You could clearly see the panic and fear in his eyes combined with the tears that were falling.
"Kittens. Cute kitties, what should I do with you two?" Cupid slowly approached them holding the bloody hammer. Suddenly, another noise caught his attention and he looked at his Icoffin to see that it was a call from me that he did not hesitate to answer.
"Hello Benja." The girl put the hammer on the anvil with a smile while her tone was the same friendly and relaxed as always.
"Hello Cupid. The teacher is sick so I'm leaving early today, I was thinking maybe we could go out now to do our shopping." I said smiling from the other side as I opened my locker.
"That sounds great, wait for me at the Monster High exit, okay? I have a few things to do first." Cupid said, looking askance at Purrsephone and Meowlody.
"Okay, I'll see you there then." After what I said, the call ended, making Cupid's gaze now fixed on the two cat girls.
"I guess this is the part where I have to let them live, right?" The two girls seemed hopeful, but that hope died when they saw that the goddess of love began to laugh.
"What a shame. After what you two saw, there's no guarantee that if I let you go you won't tell Bloodgood." Cupid walked to her bag while the two girls tried to talk but only got a laugh from the goddess.
"Don't be afraid, kitties. I know how to make sure you don't say anything." Cupid said before taking out a thread, needles and what horrified the girls, a pair of scissors.
After Cupid finished his job of "silence" Meowlody and Purrsephone. The girl walked outside and her eyes were riveted when she saw me talking and laughing with Draculaura and the rest of my friends. The girl clenched her fists and faked a smile before walking to where I am.
"Benja, it's good to see you." I was surprised when Cupid hugged one of my arms, I blushed a lot when I felt her breasts on my arm.
"Hey Cupid, what's up with your hair? Why did you dye it black?" Clawdeen asked with a smile but the wolf girl saw that Cupid didn't look at her and just took my hand.
"Sorry girls, but Benja and I have plans to make. I'll see you tonight at your birthday party Draculaura." Cupid said with a smile but before the goddess of love could take a step, Frankie quickly approached us.
"Wait, Cupid, can I come with you? It's just that."
"No." Frankie fell silent at Cupid's sudden, sharp statement.
"I'm so sorry Frankie. But Benja said she was going to help me, I would love for you to join us, but I need Benja's full attention today, this dress is very important to me." The girl said with a smile while the Stein girl, I and everyone were impressed.
"Oh, I understand. Well, umm, good luck then guys." Frankie said looking at us with surprise. I tried to speak but then I was dragged away by Cupid.
"Thanks Frankie, see you later. Bye." Cupid said, I immediately had no choice but to follow the girl since she was dragging me. If anyone, they would have paid attention to the windows. She would have seen Meowlody and Purrsephone at the window, their stitched lips still bleeding while the two of them had a look of sadness and pure pain before disappearing into the darkness of the school.
Upon arriving at the shopping center, I started walking around the place while I saw many things related to Valentine's Day around me. Heart, balloons, banners. There were many things that amazed me but I saw that Cupid didn't seem at all excited.
"Cupid, is something wrong?" The girl came out of her thoughts and looked at me.
"It's nothing, come on. Wait for me at the clothing store." I tried to speak, but I could only watch Cupid go to the bathroom. I sighed and looked around before smiling before leaving.
The moment Cupid entered the bathroom, the girl took off her gloves to see her hands covered in blood. The girl turned on the water and while she washed her hands, she looked at her reflection in the mirror staring into her eyes.
Why didn't he feel guilty? Why didn't he feel sorry for Toralei even though she was begging for mercy for her life? Cupid's gaze became colder at these unknowns. The cat girl had it coming, how many times do I wait for a response from Dexter? All this time, the goddess of love believed that the boy had completely forgotten about her, but it was not true, it was all part of a "joke."
Toralei had made life difficult for him for too long. How many times did she have to put up with the jokes? How many times did she have to tolerate the cat girl's hurtful comments? Cupid remembered everything, Toralei's tears, her screams of agony and mercy, her blood staining her clothes, slowly the goddess of love seemed to smile looking at her reflection remembering the blood that moments ago stained her skin her.
"Now you understand my pain." The girl said in a cold and somewhat dark tone as if Toralei was in front of her. Slowly, the girl took something out of her pocket and she could see the photo of Dexter next to the girl. Those smiles, the happiness, the love in her eyes, the goddess of love felt disgust and tore the photograph into pieces before throwing it in the trash.
The moment Cupid came out of the bathroom, she was surprised when I approached with two ice creams.
"Benja? I thought you would be at the store, what are you doing with ice cream?" Cupid couldn't help but ask looking at me while I smiled shyly.
"Well. You're having a bad day and I thought maybe we could have a little fun before the party tonight." I said with a shy smile as I gave him a strawberry ice cream with a heart made of candy.
Cupid grabbed the ice cream and stared at me for a few seconds, her heart beat hard and she felt as if something had been detached from her, a huge burden was lifted from her shoulders and she felt better, even more than ever before. Her cheeks turned pink looking at the heart while her hair seemed to slowly return to its pastel pink color and her body seemed to come more alive than ever.
This was a magical feeling, a feeling that I didn't feel and that I normally only observed in happy couples. The girl looked at me and noticed that I was smiling happily.
"You're right Benja, come on. Today is a beautiful day." The girl took my hand and we both started walking through the hallways eating our ice cream calmly but what Cupid never noticed was a detail.
In less than two hours. Cupid had gone to the food court, bought shoes, a new dress but that was not all. We had gone to the movie theater, to the video game room, and even when we went to get some candy-covered apples, the girl's heart jumped when the salesman told us "happy couple."
Throughout the day. Cupid had never felt so happy. Every place she and I went was like a beautiful couple's day. The girl's heart felt less and less overwhelmed, the weight that she previously carried on her shoulders was decreasing drastically, and her smile seemed to regain the shine that she had lost before her.
"Here, try this one, you might like it a lot."
Cupid and I decided to leave the birthday clothes for the end of the day. There were only three hours left until the party and we felt like we were on time. The girl had already prepared her outfit and now the only thing missing was me, so when we got to the clothing store, Cupid immediately gave me clothes to try on.
"Okay, I'll be right back." I said smiling before grabbing the suit and entering the fitting room. The moment I entered, Cupid saw my cell phone and noticed that it was vibrating. Slowly the girl grabbed it and she could see that it was a message from Clawdeen.
"Benja, you have to come soon. Something horrible happened in Monster High, the cauldron room exploded and, I think Toralei was there. We were looking for Meowlody and Purrsephone but, I think you're going to want to see this."
Cupid saw a photo after the message. They were Meowlody and Purrsephone, the two girls were hanging from a rope by the neck each with two messages written in blood on their chest that said. "Toralei, we're sorry."
"This is just horrible. I need you to come as quickly as possible, please. Bloodgood took care of the bodies, I can't be at monster high right now, but I ask you to please find the person responsible. Talk to the director, she will know what to do."
A lump appeared in Cupid's stomach and throat. She remembered exactly what happened, she had done it.
"Don't you dare go with Bloodgood. Because no matter where you are, no matter where you hide, I will always know where you are, I am a goddess. Never forget that."
Those were her own words after silencing Meowlody and Purrsephone forever. Now she was contemplating in a photo the corpses of the two girls who chose suicide. The girl looked at the cell phone and then looked at the fitting room where I was, slowly the girl began to squeeze the icon with her hands until a crunch was heard.
Cupid looked at my Icoffin and saw the broken screen with the broken frame, she discreetly lowered it to the ground and began to step on it with her heels until it was broken. The girl quickly grabbed it and put it in her bag when she saw me leaving the fitting room.
"Cupid, how do I look?" The girl looked up from her and turned red when she saw me. I was wearing dress pants with a white shirt and a black jacket with matching shoes.
Cupid didn't know what to say, his heart was beating so hard looking at me and he didn't know why, but suddenly, the girl could swear that she felt like she was now at a wedding staring at me as if we were both going to get married. That thought was enough to make her heart race but then she saw me approaching her.
"I think it's too formal, what do you think Cupid?" I asked with a nervous smile looking at the girl.
"I agree." The girl came out of her trance and turned very red as a tomato, her word had simply escaped from her lips without further ado.
"No, umm. I said, you look good Benja. You should wear that suit to the dance tonight. Don't worry, I'll pay." The girl looked in her purse and pulled out a credit card while I was very surprised.
"Cupid, are you sure? This is a very expensive suit." I said nervously looking at the price but then I saw the girl start laughing.
"Don't worry Benja, you did a lot for me, now it's my turn." The goddess of love said looking at me with a smile making me smile shyly.
"Well, if you insist, that's fine."
After paying for the clothes I started walking with Cupid, at that moment I started looking for my Icoffin but I was surprised to see that I didn't have it with me.
"Where is my cell phone? It was with me a moment ago." I said shocked looking at my pockets while Cupid surreptitiously hid his bag behind his back.
"Maybe you left it inside the mall. I'd like to help you but I have to go home to put on makeup, I'll see you at the party." The goddess of love said before leaving while I returned inside the mall.
The moment I entered, Cupid's smile disappeared and she looked at her icon where there was a photo of her next to Clawdeen. The girl's eyes lost their shine and she looked at the mall for a moment before slowly leaving.
Never, and I mean seriously, never. Monster High had never had an accident in the boilers and what was even worse, two suicides of two students who, although they were not very loved at school, no one wished them dead. In total three deaths in the entire school, obviously the news did not come to light, Bloodgood had to stop Spectra from making this public.
Inside the principal's office, Clawdeen was sitting at the desk while Bloodgood on the other hand was putting on formal clothes while there was a letter on the table and a black, demonic-looking owl was sitting in the window.
"Clawdeen. Tell me everything, again." Bloodgood slumped into his seat, clasping his hands together as if he were praying to some god.
"Okay. I stayed after school to talk to the teacher about my last test, and after that I went out to the hallways to go to my locker, but when I got there I saw blood stains and part of the lockers with dents. I decided sniff the blood to know where it would take me, the first place was the cauldrons and I saw that the room was destroyed with the cauldrons on fire. After I put them out with a fire extinguisher, I entered and saw something burned."
"When I got closer, I could." Bloodgood reacted and quickly gave Clawdeen a glass of water the moment he saw the wolf girl's face turn pale. The wolf girl didn't hesitate and she drank all the water in one gulp before breathing heavily and then continued speaking.
"I could see burnt hair, and I immediately recognized Toralei's scent because there were traces of his jacket. Later, I found more Blood in a corner, and after smelling it, I went out to investigate, the blood took me to the bell and when I went up, I saw Meowlody and Purrsephone hanging." Clawdeen couldn't stand it and cried out of helplessness and terror while Bloodgood seemed to struggle not to panic.
"Listen Clawdeen. Did you send the message to Benja?" The wolf girl nodded silently while the headmistress stood up and grabbed the letter on the table.
"The academic advisors called me to talk about this issue. I will try to keep the case from coming to light, but you have to do one very important thing. I want you and Benja to investigate the place looking for clues or something that will help the case, we must know "If this is about a murder by Meowlody and Purrsephone to Toralei, or is it about a murderer. I will return late at night." Bloodgood said before climbing onto the back of his horse..
"And what will happen to Draculaura's birthday?" The wolf girl asked, looking at the director.
"I highly doubt anyone would be in the mood for a party after these events. Investigate and after that, make the news public. I'll be back later to question the suspects. Good luck Clawdeen." With those last words, Bloodgood heeled the horse and she sped away followed by the owl that delivered the letter.
Clawdeen was struggling to process everything. She was aware that perhaps Toralei, Purrsephone and Meowlody were the girls that basically no one wanted around due to the many nonsense and pranks that made more than one student get angry. But one thing was more than obvious and certain, no one wished them death, the most one would want is for the three of them to be beaten or to fall for their own joke, but nothing like this.
Clawdeen abandoned Bloodgood's officer and began to walk at a slow and grim pace like a dead man as his mind struggled to think of who the culprit would be, all he could smell was blood, Toralei's scent and. Came?.
Clawdeen's feet dug into the ground as she thought of the smell of wine. Why was there the smell of wine in the first place where he found the broken lockers? Then there was the boiler room, although the aroma of burning hair and blood was strong, she could discreetly smell the aroma of wine in the room.
The wolf girl immediately ran back to the scene and smelled the place again, there it was, it was faint, but the aroma of wine is barely there. She looked around her and then turned her feet to follow the aroma of the wine.
Had Toralei, Purrsephone and Meowlody been drinking? Clawdeen was judging that possibility, although the three of them were delinquents and troublemakers, they never touched the drink, cat people have a very fine palate and they don't drink anything that is horrible. Maybe they had drunk wine and this was all due to their drunkenness?
No. That was too silly, Clawdeen was aware that while Toralei and her friends were capable of many things, they would avoid drinking, and if it were the opposite. What would have happened in the boiler room? Why had Purrsephone and Meowlody sewn their mouths shut and committed suicide? Alcohol was capable of making people stupid, but never to extreme levels.
Suddenly, the wolf girl stopped when she reached a place where the scent was very strong. Slowly, Clawdeen opened the door and the aroma of wine was very evident and obvious, the moment she turned on the light, she saw Cupid's radio destroyed and burst into pieces.
"Shit, Cupid won't be happy about this." Clawdeen slowly entered the room and could see a bottle and wine glasses on the floor, then she raised her head and could see multiple screens, but one above all that seemed to be very damaged by the chair embedded in the glass.
At that moment, Clawdeen looked at all the screens and could see that they were hallways, bathrooms, classrooms, everything in Monster High seemed to be monitored in every place, it was at that moment that she saw the damaged lockers on one of the screens. Immediately, the wolf girl began to press all the buttons until one began to rewind everything she had seen.
"That?." Clawdeen didn't look away until he stopped when Toralei and her friends were standing there at the lockers and then.
"Cupid?." Clawdeen's eyes widened in horror as she watched the furious outburst of anger of the goddess of love watching and feeling the spectacular pain they suffered before watching Cupid grab the three girls before dragging them away.
Clawdeen did not hesitate, he immediately began to look for a camera that will show where the goddess of love was going until his eyes stopped the moment he saw Cupid enter the cauldron room dragging the bodies before looking in all directions and then close the door.
"No." Clawdeen immediately began to back away in terror until she then felt something behind her and before she could do anything, her world fell into darkness.
All she could smell was blood, breathing seemed almost impossible, the sound of falling drops calling kept her senses at all times. Despite being aware of her and being able to move her body at will, why could her eyelids not move and her lips, why were they so stuck together?
"You woke up." Clawdeen raised his head and again struggled to open his eyes but he stopped when he felt a horrible pain. But the girl, he knew who was in front of her.
"I know what you saw, and I know what you were going to do. I have nothing against you, Clawdeen, but I'm afraid I can't let you ruin now everything I'm finally achieving."
It was Cupid, that was more than obvious. But the girl's tone of voice was not the kind and gentle tone that Clawdeen recognized before, this tone was colder as if instead of speaking to a kind and gentle goddess, she was death itself.
"Do you know what it feels like, Clawdeen?" The wolf girl raised her head as if showing a way to make herself look like she was paying attention.
"You are the most beloved girl in Monster High, I know how the boys look at you, all captivated by your extravagant fashion style and your ferocity. I remember that many boys called me to seek advice on how to conquer you, but no one succeeded. All of them , minus one. Benja."
Clawdeen was startled when she felt Cupid's hand caressing her cheek with his fingers touching the sweat that the wolf girl released.
"You and Benja are very close, too close I would say. At first I thought it was adorable seeing you enjoying him when he blushed or got nervous, but you know what bothers me? It's that you always push him away from me."
Clawdeen struggled to breathe but it seemed like an impossible task. Although she managed to do so, she felt a horrible pain in her nose. She tried to breathe through her mouth, but that pain prevented her again.
"Benja, he is a great boy. My heart hurt a lot when I remembered when he ran to my studio crying when he found out that he would never be able to return to his city, it was really very sad for me. I felt so identified with him that day. "
Clawdeen's ears pricked up as she heard Cupid pace around the room. The wolf girl didn't know where they were, but the sound was booming and echoing.
"Benja and I are two wounded souls, we lost those we love and are separated from our happiness. He and I, alone in a world where our happiness is overshadowed by others and we are both so hidden that no one recognizes our pain and suffering " Cupid stopped dead.
"We need someone to understand us, he and I need someone to understand our pain. He needs me, and I need him. It doesn't matter if we are worlds apart, he and I are just like each other."
Clawdeen jumped when she felt Cupid's hands on her shoulders, although the wolf girl couldn't open her eyes, she could feel the gaze of the goddess of love penetrating her soul.
"My sweet Benja, he is the only person who cares about me, while you enjoy your happiness while he and I are there, begging for someone to help us." Cupid slowly leaned down to one of Clawdeen's ears.
"That's why I do this. For him, and for me."
Clawdeen couldn't take it anymore, the girl started running as fast as her legs would allow her, no matter where she was going, the girl continued running blindly praying that Cupid wasn't behind her.
The goddess of love smiled slowly, turned and began to walk, leaving thread and needles behind, the girl's steps continued walking until she reached a staircase that she slowly began to climb before reaching a door that she crossed.
Cupid turned, and his smile grew, looking for the last time at the staircase to the catacombs of Monster High, the girl closed the door before inserting the key and locking it, but after the door was closed, in a quick movement, the goddess out of love he kicked the key until it broke, leaving the tip stuck in the slot and the rest of the key on the floor. The girl grabbed the broken key and put it in her pocket before leaving after looking at the door one last time.
"The party will start soon." Cupid looked at Clawdeen's things for a moment and pulled out her old design book where she found something that made her smile even more before closing the book.
"Thank you Clawdeen, you were very useful, it's a shame a designer is nothing without her eyes or tongue." The girl said before slowly walking away with Clawdeen's things in her hands.
The night arrives. The Monster High gym was full of monsters accompanied by their partners, music was playing all over the place and some students had even dared to secretly bring alcohol to the birthday party.
I was sitting at a table looking around, unfortunately I never managed to find my icoffin, so I couldn't contact Cupid and ask if she was okay, on the way I went to her house but she didn't appear anywhere, and I don't deny it , seeing everyone happy dancing and enjoying the party, made me feel uncomfortable because I was alone.
"Hello Benja." When I raised my head from my glass my face turned red when I saw the goddess of love.
The girl was wearing a stunning pink dress that hugged her body, highlighting her figure and legs. The girl had ironed her hair, leaving a strand covering one of her eyes while the rest of her pastel pink hair was straight. Her feet were wearing heels of a different color. scarlet red, her lips were painted a deep pink color and her eyes sparkled with makeup.
"Did I make you wait too long, darling?" My heart began to beat madly at the seductive tone of her voice and her hand touching my cheek.
"Come, the dance floor awaits us." I just nodded, still stunned by the radical change in Cupid, she took my hand and we both went to the dance floor while the music began to become slow and romantic.
When we arrived I didn't know what to do but then I saw that she placed one of my hands on her hip and the other hand squeezed my other hand tightly.
"Let yourself go darling, I'll be your guide." Cupid said in a delicate and gentle tone as we both continued to look into each other's eyes and began to dance.
Peace invaded Cupid's heart, despite the blood, her actions and the measures she had to take, those no longer mattered in the slightest, because she was finally happy, she finally felt happy.
After years of loneliness, years of feigning sour happiness, they were finally over tonight. Dexter? Cupid no longer cared in the slightest, memories of him with the goddess of love passed through his mind and all the time, the boy only asked him for advice like every monster in Monster High. But me, I was different, something she waited for a long time.
Someone who cares about her, someone who sees the girl as more than just a counselor, someone who she laughs at, has fun with, and who loves spending time with that person. Cupid's heart was pounding, as a growing fire filled her heart while the pupils of her eyes changed to hearts.
When the music ended, we both looked into each other's eyes, Cupid blushed and smiled shyly before brushing the hair out of his eye.
"That was beautiful." Was all I could say with a shy smile making the girl laugh.
"Yes it was." Cupid smiled shyly playing with his hair before laughing a little.
"I'll go to the bathroom, I'll be back soon." Cupid said before going to the bathroom with a smile on his face leaving me on the dance floor.
"Hello Benja." Suddenly I was surprised when Frankie hugged me from behind, an aroma reached my nose and my surprise increased when I smelled alcohol on her.
"Frankie, were you drinking!?." I shouted in surprise as the girl laughed out loud drunkenly holding a glass.
"Just strawberry punch, you don't know how this stuff makes my head spin." Frankie said before showing the glass. The moment the aroma hit my nose, I could smell alcohol mixed in the punch.
"Come on Benja, the night is young, let's have fun!" Frankie grabbed my hand and she forcibly took me to the dance floor.
Frankie's movements were clumsy and abrupt due to her way of dancing, her body moved daringly while I tried to separate myself but no matter how hard I tried, Frankie made me stay with her.
"Frankie, please wait. No, I can't keep dancing, my feet hurt." I said quickly trying to make up an excuse but then I saw that the girl was laughing out loud.
"Oh okay. But first, a Valentine's Day gift."
At that moment, Cupid regretted having left the bathroom, because at that precise moment, his world collapsed. Frankie was kissing me on the lips while my face was red looking at the Stein girl.
Her heart broke, the instant she saw everything, she felt as if her soul had been cleared from her body. Her legs trembled, her gaze was erratic and full of shock, her heart was crumbling like a house of cards being blown over by the wind, a feeling overwhelmed and filled her being.
Everything was going so well. She had finally taken the initiative and everything for what? The same scene was repeating itself again and this time in front of her, and that feeling of loneliness and sadness invaded her heart, contemplating that scene eternally, as if the whole world would send her a clear message: You are nothing.
No. She wouldn't allow it, because after everything she did, after everything she fought for and finally had in her hands, would she let someone else take everything? The story was not going to continue like this, she was already used, she was abandoned, and she was lovingly rejected for too long.
Like a zombie. Cupid walked to the nearest table and grabbed a knife, probably the knife that would be used for the cake. Her blood was boiling, her heart was beating hard, her eyes full of tears made her makeup ruined but that was the least of it for the girl.
A shout. A single scream was enough for everything to stop, and then a loud thud. When it was least expected, Cupid had launched himself at Frankie, knocking her to the ground with force while in her eyes you could clearly see the anger, the fury, as if the girl were the embodiment of pure hatred.
The screams were immediate as Cupid raised the knife into the air and pierced Frankie's chest. Immediately, everyone began to run while the screams of terror were now mixed with Cupid's laughter, a laugh of happiness, a laugh of madness, a maddening and resounding laugh that was heard throughout the place while on the ground Frankie screamed and she was drowning in his blood as the stabbing continued.
Five times, ten times, twenty, thirty. Cupid didn't stop until her body finally asked him to and the girl looked at Frankie's butchered, unrecognizable and mutilated body on the floor. The dress of the goddess of love lost its charm and was now stained with blood, the blood had bathed the dress in a crimson color up to her elbows.
"Cupid."
The girl slowly turned around and could see that I was on the ground with my mouth covered, tears falling from my eyes as I recoiled in pure terror at the sight of Cupid. Slowly the goddess of love walked to where I am causing my body to be paralyzed with terror.
"Everything will be fine now, my husband."
With those last words, I felt something on my neck and when I wanted to react, I fell to the ground weak. All I could see before falling fast asleep was Cupid's smile and a syringe in his hand.
Slowly I started to wake up and the first thing I could hear was wedding music. When my eyes regained vision I could see that I was tied to a chair, I looked around and I could see that I was still in the gym but everything was decorated with white flowers and I could see on the chairs all the Monster High students staring front in a way that petrified my heart.
The doors opened, I could see Cupid slowly entering with him wearing the clothes that Draculaura had worn at the birthday party but now stained with blood. A black and pink dress with a skirt that reached the knees, comfortable pink slippers, what stood out the most was the bouquet of red flowers that Cupid had in his hands.
"Cupid?." The girl came to the altar with a sweet smile looking me straight in the eyes which scared me.
"Benja. Tonight, it will be the most enchanting moment of our lives, the moment when two soulmates will finally be together." The girl said with a sweet smile which made me sweat with fear because what she did with Frankie was still in my mind.
"What are you talking about?." My question made the girl start laughing but that laugh sent shivers down my spine.
"My love, isn't it obvious? I am in love with you. Every day, you always worried about me like a hurt puppy, you take care of me and always make sure that nothing bad happens to me, although it is your duty as a hero, I know that you love me too." Cupid's smile grew wider as he laughed.
"You're not like them. Those sons of bitches who always abused me and my gift of falling in love. While they were enjoying their love lives, you and I have been suffering in the dark with our broken hearts, our desire to be together. our home and be happy again. But." The goddess's eyes again took the shape of a heart and she smiled again looking into my eyes.
"We can live together forever, we can create a home, we can be a couple, have children, start a family, our family in a nest full of love and with two parents who love each other eternally. Don't you see? You and me, we are meant to be together because we both suffer and deserve the happiness those idiots will never have again."
I felt something fall on my shoulder and when I turned around I saw something that horrified me. The "flowers" that were on the altar were actually hearts, when I looked at the students my heart was breaking and tears of terror were falling when I could see that their smiles were stitched together and their gazes showed no sign of life. I was on the verge of crying when I felt Cupid's hand gently caress my cheek.
"They took away our happiness, they made fun of us for being alone, but that will never happen again. Now they can never bother us, no one can separate us, no monster or human can kill our love."
I was held by my cheeks and finally saw Cupid's eyes with terror as she continued to smile sweetly before kneeling down and taking out a small box with a ring, the moment the box was opened, I could see the ring.
The ring had red roses holding a huge heart of pure scarlet color and the metal was black in color. The moment Cupid grabbed the ring and brought it to me, I could feel an enormous amount of magic but above all, a strong energy coming out of the gem.
"Accept our union, Benja. Reject mortality and become immortal with me, you will never leave my side, you will never be able to leave, because I am yours. Your world, your freedom, your life, is now mine, my beloved husband."
I wanted to speak but I was silenced when Cupid kissed me on the lips, I suddenly felt the ring slip and I began to scream in pain as I felt the ring burning. The goddess hugged me and continued kissing me while I felt that at any moment my finger was going to be cut by the heat of the ring.
My body began to burn, I moved erratically in the chair as I felt the heat slowly enveloping my entire body. My tears fell as my screams were silenced by the fervor of Cupid's kiss, no matter how much I screamed, begged or fought, my body was suffering indescribable pain and unimaginable burning.
Suddenly, my entire body felt calm. The heat was gone, my heart began to pound as my hands and legs relaxed, slowly my eyes were turning pink and heart-shaped as slowly the kiss was reciprocated.
"I accept."
A void that seemed infinite had been completely filled, a broken heart that was finally at peace. Life at Monster High changed, in fact, the building changed entirely. Where before there were hallways full of lockers, now there was only decoration and paintings, the classrooms were remodeled and were now huge, gigantic rooms, the old gymnasium was converted into a dining room and the cafeteria was converted into a kitchen.
The old cemetery had been converted into beautiful gardens full of white roses, the pool was still there but without the stands. Monster High no longer existed, the building was now a home. Our home.
Cupid woke up in a huge bed where Bloodgood's director used to be, the girl suddenly heard someone enter the door and smiled with joy when she saw me enter with a tray full of food.
"Good morning, my goddess." The girl laughed as I sat on the bed before giving her a loving kiss after gently placing her breakfast on her lap.
"Good morning, beloved husband." Cupid smiled happily making me laugh with a smile.
"I'll go wake up the kids, please have breakfast." I got up and left the room before blowing a kiss to Cupid, the girl laughed at that. When she was about to put the pancake in her mouth, a noise was heard in the distance.
Cupid put on his clothes and walked through the vice corridors of what was once Monster High before reaching a door, a door that remains and will remain closed forever.
"Get me out of here... get me out." It was Clawdeen's weak, fragile voice on the other end.
"Oh, Clawdeen, dear friend. You make too much noise, you will scare my children. Please, I ask you to be quiet." The noise stopped and faint sobs were heard on the other side.
"I want to go out...please." Clawdeen pleaded from the other side weakly and tiredly, his voice sounding fragile like a weak glass cup.
"It's sad isn't it? Being locked up, alone with no one around you and suffering from constant pain, congratulations Clawdeen, you have managed to feel the same feelings as me. Thank you for taking my place in that world full of pain, and don't worry about Benja, he is in good hands. But now, I will ask you to stay quiet, if you continue making that scandal I will not be able to enjoy my day with my family." Cupid walked to the door and heard the sobbing.
"You were always a good friend to me, Clawdeen. It was nice talking to you one last time." With those words, Cupid turned around and started walking.
Clawdeen's cries fell on deaf ears, the halls that were once full were empty, the weak knocks continued and continued to hit the door followed by the weak screams and pleas of the wolf girl, until suddenly, silence reigned and the cries They fell on weak ears until they withered into oblivion.
"Wonderful, excellent, I have no words!" Monokuma burst into theatrical tears watching the end of the chapter together with umbrella.
"I admit it was amazing, let's see another one!" Before the girl could press the button she heard someone enter the room.
"Hey Umbrella, have you seen Benja? I'm looking for him to have a private dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day." Jasmine said with a shy smile before taking off her hat looking at Umbrella with hopeful eyes.
"I didn't see him, Jasmine. He's not in his room? Parasoul almost caused destruction when he went looking for him after Crimson took him." The girl said in confusion looking at the tall girl.
"Oh, speaking of Benja. I think Widowmaker and Valentine took him to Paris for their Valentine's Day." Monokuma said which petrified Jasmine.
"What thing!?." A loud bang shook the entire place and suddenly the girls were now at the door with furious looks, Junko pushed Jasmine away and grabbed Monokuma by her fur.
"Repeat what you said, you fucking bear!!." The girl shouted furiously, shaking the bear.
"They went to Paris, that's all I know!!." Junko threw the bear against the wall in anger while Umbrella backed away in fear.
"We saw it first!!." Everyone saw Squigly, Yukie, Karen, Barbara and Dva ran down the stairs at full speed.
"Come back here you traitor whores!!." Cerebella shouted as another loud crash was heard. Umbrella ran after the madness and watched as the vehicles, mechas, and ships sped away.
"Jack will kill us if he finds out that those crazy women are going to Paris. They are going to cause more chaos than the omnic crisis." Umbrella said while Monokuma nodded along with a depressing aura.
"I don't know what will be worse, having Black Dahlia murder me for interrupting the dinner she's been planning for an entire month, or being chased by Widowmaker and Valentine for ruining her night." The depressing aura grew stronger now thinking about the consequences.
"We better call Reyes and Marie, otherwise we're all screwed." With those last words, Umbrella and Monokuma returned to the base already thinking about the worst.
The chapter ends here my dear friends. Yes, yes, I know they will say that it is too early to celebrate Valentine's Day, but Benja has plans for that day. So I hope everyone was able to enjoy the special Valentine's episode.
I hope everyone has a beautiful day, a great afternoon, and a relaxing night. Happy Valentine's Day to all, dear readers. Until next time, bye, bye.
