Jamie Hook {Ever After High Fanfic}

Chapter Twenty-One {Remedy}

Sneaking out of detention wasn't really hard. Kitty Chesire was continuing with the surprises as she literally grabbed my hand and made both of us appear invisible. Now if only I had some cool pirate powers.  

By the time we'd made it back to the school, it was nearly dinner time and the halls were almost empty.Luckily, Kitty Chesire knew exactly where Cupid hung out as this was the time she'd usuallly go and steal more potions.

Making sure to avoid the teachers and staff, we hurried to Cupid's recording studio. The school supported her matchmaking as long as she promised not to put any rebels and royals together or anyone who wasn't in the same story. However, Cupid was doing exactly that.

We'd caught her as she just went off air and she took off her headphones as she saw us come in, her bright pink hair cascading down her shoulders. "Oh, hey guys, looking for love?"

"I don't have use for such things." Kitty purred.

Cupid frowned. "I'm sure someone wants to go out with the treacherous magtastic Kitty Chesire! I mean, who wouldn't?" *

"Oh, Cupid, stop!" Kitty exclaimed however there was a tone in her voice that seemed as if she really wanted her to stop.

"What about you, Jamie?" Cupid asked now. "You don't know how many suitors have been talking about you!"

"Er, no." I was just going to pretend Cupid was lying when she mentioned suitors talking about me. "But theres something we have to ask you."

I nudged Kitty now who had, for the first time ever, seemed doubtful. "Oh, right," She went reverted back to her usual sly smile. "The cat has to come out of the bag sometime I suppose."

Cupid was still looking pleasant, a cheerful smile on her face, however every one in a while she'd glance worriedly at her broadcasting station.

"I've been stealing - uh, taking - your love potions." Kitty admitted sheepishly.

Cupid's smile stay plastered to her face.Yet the surprise and anger was shown only a tad bit in her eyes. She really was a cheerful person or at least tried to be it seemed.

I had to nudge Kitty again for her to admit the whole story and Cupid stayed composed the whole time. However, before she could anything, she was back on air. I wasn't leaving until I figured out how to get Patrick out of this mess so I forced Kitty to sit down and wait.

After a few desperate calls about love, Cupid finally ended her broadcast - and when she turned around she was fuming. "I can't believe you Kitty! You stole my love potions and didn't even ask!"

"Look sometimes a kitty had to stir the pot," Kitty shrugged. "Did I feel bad? Well, no but if it helps, I'm apologizing now."

Cupid said no more to her and looked at me. "Were you in on it too?"

"No, no, of course not," I said quickly. "I just - I just need your help to snap him out of it."

Cupid's smile returned. "Why do you care so much about him, Jamie? He's your rival after all."

Because for some odd reason, I think I'm falling in love with him.  However, I'd never admit that to Cupid. Sometimes I had a hard time admitting that to myself. We'd been through so much, from giants to mutant sharks, from smashed birthday cakes to duels. Sure, we had a past that was really hard to think about but Mr.Smee had been right, I couldn't hide it, I just had to do it anyway.

"Its wrong for people's freewill to be tampered with." I was confident that sounded right.

Cupid sighed now. "The potions Kitty stole are very complex, especialley when it comes to breaking them."

"How?"

"Well, in order to break them, it requires the one under the spell to be remember a specific event that happened before they were put under the spell."

I gasped. "Thats it?" I was expecting I'd have to slay a dragon or something but this was way too easy.

"You have to reenact that moment somehow." Cupid said. "My Dad told me not to bring those kind to school but I did anyway."

"Why?" Kitty piped up now. "Got someone you like?"

The obvious blush on Cupid's face betrayed her. "Yes, but he doesn't like me and I'm not keen on using love potions."

"Well, I can do it," I said, positively sure I could. "In fact, I could do it right now."

Kitty and Cupid stood up.

"What do you need?" Kitty asked.

"I could be your backup," Cupid offered. "I love helping in love affairs."

I was about to correct Cupid, telling her this was hardly a love affair but decided against it.  There was no point in denying it anymore. I was going to have to renenact a moment before the love potions and I knew exactly what to do.

"Kitty, go to my room and get my sword." I ordered.

Kitty gasped. "Why would you need that?"

"I'm going to challenge Patrick Pan to a duel."

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and honestly, I really feel like chapter twenty-two is gonna be the end of this book. I haven't decided it yet as there are still a lot of loose ends like Bellamy but I think I might transfer that to a spin off or a sequel. Tell me what you guys think about that idea!

Thank you, as always, for the support ♥
