Cupid's Arrows Before Halloween

Prologue:

Valentine's Day

AMORETTE'S POV

I stayed home today, and sat on my bed breaking arrows.  I am the daughter of Cupid so I live in Valentine town.  Everyone is out today creating chaos for humans, i think that anyway. I don't fit in with people here, who wear pink and red and love that they can create love.  My dad is in charge, obviously, so I am next in line for the throne. We decided to stick with the stupid government of royals. Only problem is I HATE love which explains why I am breaking my arrows. Every human worships my dad because he "fix" their love problem, but really he just makes them worse.  I don't love anyone not even my parents. I like them but never love, I will never love someone.

My dad walks into my room without knocking. Crap not a good sign. He sat on the edge of my bed, bending down to pick up some of the broken arrows. He sighs he hates it when I do this.

"Why are you breaking your arrows again? And why were you not there today with everyone else? Amator was worried about you." My dad says in his deep voice. Just as I open mouth to reply my mom, Daryl, and Amator walk in. Great this so not my best day.

"Amorette how are feeling?" My mother asks in her sweet voice. I hated my name, in fact  I hate all our names they all have to do something with love. My mom's mean dearly loved, Daryl, and Amator means lover. Yuck! And mine means little love, guess it's fine considering how much little I love love. The down side is that well most of us share a name I don't, no one has the right to steal or wear the same name as a royal, so whoever had the same name as me or my mom had to change it. Amator came to the side of my bed and took my hand. 

Here is the thing about Amator, he loves me and I hate him. His family is one of the two noble families here. I will have to marry someone from them. Amator and David both like me and they are the two nobles I have to choose from. Amator is very possessive of me, abusive really, where as David is understanding, but Amator's family is closer to my dad then David's is.

"I was so worried that something happened to you. Are you alright? Did David hurt you?" Amator asked, his voice turning harsh when he said David's name. I yanked my hand out of his I can't stand his touch. my parent decided to leave the room to give us privicy, they want me to chose him instead of David. 

"I'm fine. Why would you think that David had hurt me? He lives in Halloween town remember? I get to see him four times a year." i yelled back. David is the son of Jack Skeleton and Sandy, they meet my dad one time when my dad want to talk to him about the holidays. They got along and they were the only other noble family any where in Holiday State. The thing I can never figure out is why Jack and Sandy named him David, it means to be beloved.

"Take your mind off of that freak, you know your parents will only allow you to marry me." He said in a smug voice, yanking me out of my thoughts.

"Hey! You are NOT allowed to go through my head! I got to go David is waiting for me. In case you forgot I get to meet him every Valentines, Halloween, my birthday, and his." I say while jumping off of my bed and walking to my window to jump out. David taught me how to escape from here incase I needed to or just to see him.

"You are not going any where." Amator growled. He tried to tackle me but I stepped out of the way and out the window. I needed to go see David he understood me, he was the only one. I stop all of sudden thinking about him. Do I love him? I kept asking myself that as I took off again.

No. You don't love anyone, you have seen people kill other people or themselves over love. You will not be weak and love. My mind yelled at me. I was in the forest, I run to my favorite tree. It had a pumpkin on the side that acted like a door. I opened it and fall inside.
