cupid's curse

Alex

I walk back to the house shaking my head when did the natives claim land here. I walk in to see my cousin with his plainer book planning the big party.

"hey cous. when did a native move here I thought us Greeks control this part."

my cousin looked at me and shook his head " he moved here about a year or so age with his mate and her niece. After the attack from Aries killed her family. its best just to stay away from them."

"sure, cousin Ill do that and for that party, Ill go."

I get back to my room and smile as I think of how my job just got easier. now to get Catherina to talk to me and ask her to go.

**********************************************

The weekend came and went fast. I get up and head downstairs to see my cousin talking to some kid. as I get closer I see Calsifer, hades son, talking about the party and how he was worried about the rumors of Aries.

"well if it was just a small thing why is everyone on edge. is it really an innovative idea to throw a party with a bunch of human kids with Aries on the loose." Calsifer looked around like he was going to be attacked as he spoke.

" As it pains me to say I agree with Dionysus if he was going to attack he won't attack a place that is guarded by gods." both my cousins looked at me with shock and disbelieve.

a creepy smile crept up on Dionysus' face as he runs to me and hugged me as I stood still.

"Fine but I'm not going to stand here and wait for his attack. bye cous. I have to go to school." Calsifer lift slamming the front door behind him.

"well I have to go to see you tonight."

"bye kiddo don't forget to ask your girl to the party."

I shake my head as I walk to my car. and drive to the school thinking about how I can get Catherine to come to the party. How was I even going to get her to talk to me?

I parked and my smile fell when I got out of the car and felt a sharp pain on my wrist. I look down to see the word hate to cut in my arm bleeding. I look over to see Calsifer with a worried look on his face as he looks at his phone.

I ran to him." Where is Catherine"

"why do you. "

" where is she."

he looks down at my arm as more cuts show up on my arm and thighs. shock showed on his face as he opened his mouth.

"she is at home sick"

"where"

"just past my house after the howling bridge."

I got in my car and raced down the road to her house hoping I'm no too late.
