《Cupid's Potion》Chapter 38: Love is just a word
Advertisement
I sprint towards the women with full rage in my system and I pounce on her. I went for her neck but she disappears into thin air in a wink of an eye.
I look around and I see no sign of her, I could only hear her mocking laugh float around in the air.
"Foolish child, if you think you can defeat me you're surely mistaken." She appears in front of me again but this time she held a knife.
I feel my heart quiken it's pace from the fear creeping all over my body's system.
I can't let her hurt me, I need to save Scooby, my father, my friends, and Saiki, my soulmate.
"I don't have time for you Amorette I need to get to my father. Listen to me we can both unite as a team and defeat him. Just please help me out!"
I try to convince her but she didn't budge.
"If I join you the certainty for us to win isn't high enough. But, if I do this one sinful task I'll get everything I need and that's the health of my daughter." She says coldly and slowly walks up to me.
"Now please be still, this will only hurt a bit." She pushes my hair away from my neck. I assumed she's going to slit my throat and I urge my body to do something, but I'm frozen in fear.
Her arm raises up into the air and she readies herself to kill a life for the sake of another.
"Amorette!" I hear someone yell her name.
"Don't kill her," I look behind Amorette to see Apollo smirking devilishly at me.
"Bring her here." I feel my wrist get tugged violently and I follow obediently.
For some unknown reason all the adrenaline in my body is gone. I felt my body become heavy, and I felt weak.

"Isn't this sweet, a whole family reunion!" The sadistic man cheers and I cough in slight pain.
"Cupid, you will stare at the faith of your daughter. And soon after that you will be next. The other pesky brats will have their memories erased and no one will ever know you existed." He explains his plan and looks at us with pure disgust. He then walks closer to me, and I felt the harsh impact of his shoe against my stomach.
"Ugh," I groan in pain. "You c-can't get rid of C-Cupid. Love will always exist no matter what evil messes around with it. It'll always exist because that's how the world works." I grit through my teeth in pain.
"Oh sweetie, love is just a word that pesky humans use so they can fulfill their lonely desires." He pulls my limp body closer to the edge of the railing and dangerously keeps my body near it.
I feel my stomach drop from the high distance we were from the ground and I look at my father.
"Fran I'm scared." I whimper and feel a small tear form at the corner of my eye.
"Y/n everything will be alright. I'll fix this." He gives me a reassuring smile.
"Aha you think you can save her, look at yourself you are incapable of saving any person. You couldn't even save your wife, what makes you think you can save your daughter!" Apollo's question comes out more like a statement and I see the color drain from my dads face.
"Fran what does he mean, why is he saying that you killed my mother?" I question Fran who's trying to keep a straight face from the pain, but he looks down to the ground in shame.
"He never explained the story to you did he? Well you see Fran is the cause of your mother's death. He brought death upon your mother." Apollo motions to Fran and smirks seeing my face of distraught.

Meanwhile I stiffen at this new information.
My own father brought the death upon my mother?
I let my body drop to the floor. I just couldn't stand this any longer.
"Apollo." I look at the man who is planning to kill my father in any second.
"Please let me avenge my mother." I blurt out, to make this a bit more believable I move my gaze towards Fran and he shivers in fear.
"Hmm, I didn't expect this coming. Now why would I let you do that?" He taps his chin in thought with the blade of the knife.
"If you let me kill him I'll give you anything you want. Just let me be the one to end his life, let me do this for my mother." I look back into Apollo's eyes and I could see a hint of success overcome them.
"Hmm, Amorette give her the knife." He waves off his command and I could sense her disbelief.
"But sir-" She starts off but was quickly interrupted.
"Don't question my actions. Now give her the knife, while you're at it heal her injury you caused." He commands her and she lets out an angry huff.
She sluggishly walks to me and places a hand on my thigh. A soft glowing light appears in her palms and she placed her hands to heal the injury she made.
The pain slowly subsided as well as the injury and anll that's left is a visible hole of where she punctured me.
I stand up and stabilized my slightly weak body. I look into the eyes of Apollo and smirk in triumph.
"Alright Apollo, I'm under your commands now. What's your first order?" I bow down in front of him.
The man I am now obeying smirks evilly. "I want you to surrender your necklace." He motions to my necklace and I stare at him with confusion.
I slowly pull my necklace that was under my shirt and I give him a questioning look.
"You want this?" I swing the necklace in a fan motion and catch it into my palm.
"Yes." He opens his hand and just as I was about to toss the necklace to him I could hear my father trying to protest.
"Y/n, don't do it." He whimpers and I could feel the fear in him.
"Why not?" I gave both of these men questioning looks.
Now I'm really confused, what's so great about this necklace?
"You see darling, that necklace isn't just a piece of jewelry. Your necklace is made by a powerful source that helped you contain your gifts." Apollo slowly starts getting closer and I unintentionally back up which causes him to stop in his tracks.
"Just hand the necklace over and I'll let you do as you please with my foe." He leans on one leg and places one of his hands in his pockets. The other hand is outstretched in my direction nonverbally telling me to hand him my necklace.
"Alright, with this you'll let me do whatever?" I raise my brow and he nods. His brown hair bobbing a bit with the motion.
"Yes, he'll be all yours now hand me the necklace." He commands sternly and I obey. The pleads of my father were override by my own desires.
"I'm sorry dad, but I promise you it won't hurt at all." I secretly gave Fran a reassuring smile and hand my necklace over to Apollo.
"Alright Apollo, let the fun begin." I smile sweetly at the villain.
