Eros

Chapter 1

I look over the edge of the building at my next target. I smirk to myself. "Gotcha" I say under my breath. I pull pack on the bow, and let an arrow loose. It flies straight towards a young man walking alone on the street. He stiffens ever so slightly. I can't see him from here, but I know whats happening. His pupils are dilating, his eyes are widening, his heart is beating wayyyy to fast. Thats love for ya. I pull my hand up to my face, "Mission accomplished", I smile to myself, watching the man tap a another man on the shoulder.

" Hey man!" I said smiling at my

team member, still pumped about my victory. I mean, I had been tracking the dude for months. Honestly, he was so hard to pair I almost gave up. but I guess even assholes deserve love.
"Hey Jake, nice shot today!" Ryan smiled at me. Thats a pretty big compliment coming from him, considering right now he"s trying out a new persona wheres he's all "Aloof" and "cool". he calls it finding himself. I call it stupid.
"Thanks Ryan!" I grinned at him, pulling my long hair out of its ponytail. I looked around, momentarily distracted my the sound of a scream. I wince, my smile gone. "Another mistake?" Ryan looked down, his care free attitude gone. He nodded his slightly.
"Yeah. " He replies, looking back up. "It was Mary this time" He shakes his head, "Too bad, she had so much potential." I shudder, flicking my hair over my shoulder and shifting my stance. It's evn more sad because he's right, she did have a bright future. Well, not anymore.
"Yeah, well, bye I guess." I turn to walk away. Mary was in my sparing class, its pretty hard to think of her now that I know what's going to happen.
"Hey wait!" Ryan shouts after me. "I just remembered, I was supposed to tell you that Aphrodite is looking for you!"
I whip my head around.
"Fuck" I whisper under my breath. "Thanks Ryan I'd better go." I rush away from him down the hallway, my thoughts of a warm shower forgotten. When Aphrodite asks to see you its never good. I turn the corner, and make sure no ones looking, then start full out sprinting. Of anyone saw me like this they'd think I was crazy.
I spring at full speed all the way to her office, so when I get there I am out of breath and panting hard. I gather myself, and pull up on the brass knocker, waiting for a reply.
"Come in." Says a very high, very feminine voice.
" Aphrodite" I think, walking through the door.
