Cyndy's Arrow

Chapter 2

Cyndy

When my brother Isaac told me that our Grandma bought me a house I thought it was a simple one story one bedroom cozy house and lot which is probably a hundred square meter only. But when I got to the address written in the paper it was a condominium building. I look at the paper again and at the bottom of it I notice something is written in smaller fonts than the rest of the address.

Unit number 214
18th floor

I walk inside the building to the elevator. I press the button to the 18 floor and when the door is about to close a hand suddenly in between the door preventing it from closing. I jumped backwards because of the fright.

"Son of a satyr!" I said loudly my right hand over my heart. I might have a heart attack because of who ever might be behind the door. I glared at the door prepared to kill the person with my glare.

The door slowly opened to revile a pair of blue eyes looking back at me. My eyes widened as I tried to recall why this faces is so familiar to me.
The person step inside the elevator and is about to press the button to the 18th floor but when she sees that it has already been pressed she give me a puzzled look but just shook her head probably dismissing what thought she might have in her mind. the elevator doors closed again and I just remembered where I saw her face when the elevator finally start moving upwards.

She's my target.

Ashley Clarkson.

The ride at the elevator is excruciatingly awkward maybe not for Ashley but for me it is. She's just there at the other corner comfortably scrolling in her cellphone while I on the other hand have been pushing myself against the other corner as if I am with a ghost and I have been wanting to get out of the elevator so bad.

Ashley maybe aware of my awkwardness towards being in the elevator with her. she might find it weird but what can I do I still don't have plans on how to complete my mission and yet here I am with my target and no plans at hand.

Ashley glared at me causing me to shrink if that was even possible given she's a human. She just rolled her eyes then pull her earphones out of her red Prada hand bag and plug it in her phone and started listening to her playlist. When she seems to be lost in her own world I let out a sigh of relief.

I'm able to relax now. But I stared at her direction for a bit and I notice how beautiful she is in person. I mean, she also looks amazing in the picture but she's so much better in person.

I noticed how she just stands there doing nothing yet radiating confidence that would make even adults intimidated with her.

The elevator suddenly halt and the door open up. Ashley immediately got out maybe thankful that she won't have to spend more time in an elevator with an awkward stranger.

I sigh again. Way to go Cyndy you just blow up your chance to befriend her. I thought to myself.

I also walk out of the elevator and went to the door with the number 214 written on it. I look at the opposite door facing mine 215. That's where I saw Ashley entered a moment ago. Must be hers.

Grandma really loves me so much that she even plan that I spend my stay here in a condo unit just across my targets unit. She's really making it easier for me.

"Thanks Grandma." I whispered thanks to her. I know she'll hear it. I open the door using a key card I found inside the wallet Isaac gave me. I also found a card and an ID which I assume will be useful for my stay here.

Inside the unit, modernity is very obvious. From the pattern in the walls to the lighting in the sealing.  The flat screen TV against the wall to the sofa and coffee table.

I walk further inside to the kitchen. The kitchen is also beautiful. The equipments are clearly all brand new. I open the fridge and to my luck I found that it is already full. My supplies might even get me going for a whole month. Grandma really knows how I love cooking.

The rest of my unit is design in the colors black, white, and red just how I love it. There are also two bedroom. The smaller one will be my guest room and the other will be the master's bedroom. The quest room is also pretty it has a shower and bath and a small walk-in closet and a queen size bed. I walked to the master's bedroom and my jaw feel to the ground. Well not literally. It was a very spacious room. A king size bed it also have a huge flat screen TV against the wall and a couple of beam bags. The area where the beam bags are floored with a red carpet with small Hearts in different size and in the colors of white and pink.

I lay in the bed and close my see.

Where should I go from here?
Maybe I should befriend her, then I get to know her more than the data provided for me. I'll get to know the people around her find someone fitting for her. Yeah, that would totally be easy. If you just haven't acted like the way you did in the elevator before!

I groan rolling to my side. My bow and arrow is right there on top of my desk near the side of my bed. Only three arrows available. I sigh. I have to make sure to find the perfect match or else those will be useless.

You see, when we angels of love or what you called cupids. But I don't really like that, it doesn't sound right me being called Cupid because that's my dad's roman name. So let's just settle calling us and by that I mean me, Isaac and so much more as the angles of love. Where am I again? Oh yeah, so, we angels of love do shoot people with our arrows but that doesn't really make them fall in love with each other. It just aids towards the affection and attachment they have for each other.

Like when two people are not conscious that they like each other we shoot them with our arrows to help the real feelings towards the other one to come out. But sometimes when we shoot our arrow at someone some still don't work because of maybe the chemistry or the differences that they have on each other or maybe the fates doesn't agree on them being together. Or maybe the real feeling isn't romantic. Yeah, somethings just don't work. Aside from that, i am a little different from the rest of my siblings. I am able to see the red strings of fate, that's what i like to call them. I can make a person to notice someone, specific person, if I tie the end of the red string of that person with the other. But it is very exhausting to do and it will drain my energy.

And the failed mission mentioned by my brother before, I was using this technique. I miss look the red ribbon with someone else; fired my arrow to initiate attraction but to no luck, wrong feelings develop because their strings aren't bound.  Sigh.

I roll to face to the ceiling. You couldn't screw this up Cyndy. I told myself. Then close my eyes.
