Love Is A Game Not To Be Played (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 3: Words of A Hundred Rose Petals

Previously on Love Is A Game Not To Be Played:

Aria and Ella left Eve and Joseph in the queue at Superdry to be lovebirds. They quickly rushed home not noticing that Eve wasn't with them and was met by a very worried and extremely anxious Link.

"She's not here. Why is she not here?" Link said to himself as he started pacing up and down the path leading up to the Harvey household. "She wasn't with her sisters, and those two always tail her like moths attracted to fire. I don't have a good feeling about all of this. I can vouch for the lack of effort it requires to fall head over heels for her." Link stopped his rapid steps and stared at the window at the top of the three-storey building, It was Eve's room, something about her presence not being there gave Link a feeling of uncertainty. "Somebody could have easily taken her and that dastardly Joseph is always smoozing up to her, and what's more, is Eve never seems annoyed. With that kind of position, I bet he could lure Eve into her trap, on her own two feet. Eve, please let me be wrong. Eve, my love, please be safe."

Link turned around and saw two figures coming up to him from a distance. From where he was it looked like they had just done CrossFit workout, but they didn't have any weights so they decided to use shopping bags instead. He soon started to see that the figures were Ella and Aria and therefore started sprinting towards them with full force.

"Where on earth were you guys? Where is Eve?" said Link with a hint of worriedness in his voice.

"We were buying stuff for the coronation," said Ella as she tried to catch her breath "but we accidentally left Eve behind with Joseph because they were talking and the queue was moving."

"You have to be joking Ella y- " said Link before he was interrupted by a still panting Ella

"It's moonlight for you!"

"Sorry Moonlight, any way you have to be joking? You left an irresponsible beauty like her alone with a monster?" said Link not thinking about the words coming out of his mouth.

Aria immediately stopped and stared a hole through Link. "If you think that my sister is getting anywhere near you," said Aria. You could see the fire in her eyes. "then you better think again because if I find out you like her I SWEAR TO GOD, I will kill you and then put your body in a bag and then feed it to a school of angry great white sharks. Do you hear me?"

Link had no time to reply because his eyes flickered to behind the demonic soul of Aria and saw the love of his life. Link started sprinting towards Eve with full force and when he met her he pulled her into a warm, yet sweaty hug. Link pulled away and whispered words of relief to himself. "One minute," Link said as he dragged Eve towards the front of their home "here. You should have this."

Eve looked confused at the strangely wrapped gift. It seemed quite confusing until she opened it. In Eve's hand was a majestic mirror. A bit larger than your typical one. The handle carefully carved to look like a bouquet of roses with a glossy white finish. The mirror was made of glass and glistened in the sunlight and had tints of blue. Eve was so mesmerised by the gift she hadn't even realised that her siblings had gone inside and were ready to sleep for the coronation the next day. Link had left her alone with the mirror and had already set off home. At the back of this endowment was an engraved message.

"Each word is as magical as a Hundred Rose Petals"

Eve stared at the quote and slowly walked into the home feeling more confused than ever. As she walked up the stairs she turned the mirror over once again and saw the slightly blue sheen on the glass. She went into her room and left it on her desk and left again. When she left the room she was met by an angry Mother. She dragged Eve down to the kitchen and started yelling at her and explained how irresponsible she was for leaving her sisters alone. Eve was too concentrated on the message on the back of the mirror and might have said it out loud by accident which led her mother to give her a very confused stare. "What did you say?" her mother asked. " Each word is as magical as a Hundred Rose Petals" replied Eve.

Suddenly, there was a large crash and Eve could smell smoke. The birds nesting on the willow tree outside their home fled in a flash and Eve expressed her confusion through a startled look. Her mother had had enough of her 'silly games' and left the house. Eve sprinted up the stairs and opened the door to her room. Her bed was a mess. The pillows were torn open. There were feathers everywhere. The wardrobe door was hanging on its last hinge and the cause of this? A turquoise blue blob snuggled in the middle of her bed. Eve walked closer to the intruder and saw it had a tail wrapped around it protecting it from all possible danger. Out of nowhere, it jumped up in its beauty and spread its wings. In front of her stood a majestic dragon. Its beautiful turquoise wings spread out. The visible small studs on it head where horns would later grow and a magnificently scaled body. Eve's eyes switched between the mirror that she could still see a slight blue sheen in the light and the dragon. Her eyes widened as she made the connection.

"Who are you?" Eve said quizzically

"Qujin, nice to meet you Eve." said the dragon had just belly-flopped himself onto the bed.

"How do y-you know my name?" said Eve with a slight stutter in her voice.

"Oh, wouldn't you like to know" replied the dragon with a slight smirk...
