As rain drops were falling towards the ground, as I was doing my daily routine, ‘shooting arrows.’ It wasn’t just any normal arrow, some may call it ‘the love arrows’ some other call it ‘Cupid’s arrows’. How many years have passed? But more importantly, when did it all begun?

...****************...

Doing the daily routine that I’ve been forced to for years. The ‘blessing’ job that the heavens given me. But, is this actually a blessing?

Most probably think that this is a blessing from the heavens, Gathering people together getting them to fall in love. Bringing joy to people just by shooting arrows. Well, actually this is the curse from the heavens that was forced on me. For all the ‘sins’ I have committed, I was sent to be punished in the planet earth, The land of Humans. “It may be easy doing the Cupid’s job... but it could be so lonely at the same time.”

Now, some might ask. What were the sins I’ve committed? what could’ve so bad that I was sent to earth as a cupid. And why a Cupid? Just like everyone elses story, it was a love story, about me and her. The heavens forbiddened us from being together. We were not meant to be. But we still took the big risk that was approaching us. What happened to her? Where was she now? All these questions that have been running through my head for the past thousands of years..

“no matter how far our love could have gone .. no matter how close we went.. it doesn’t always end as a ‘happy ending’ especially not for us. If I could go back in time I wish I was born as a ...”

These were the last words I’ve received from her. I could still remember her hands shaking hardly as she was passing me this note.

Authors note: (optional to read)

-Please don’t forget that this is just a prologue, it’s not the actual story. It’s just an introduction chapter.

[ it has been quite a few months since I wrote. At first I totally gave up,

I had to potential at all.

-

But then the idea of this text popped inside my head.

An urge had me posting this on here. ]

(At the end of the day I’m still a beginner. I’m really grateful for this app where young people can share novels and inspire others.

If you’ll have any suggestions I’d gladely accept them.)

I’ve wrote a novel on here before but somehow I dropped it and felt like it wasn’t my type of story as I felt a bit hesitate as I wrote it

I’m quite nervous about this one, but I truly admire the story.

Ps: “The end is going to have a huge plot twist.”

E-n-j-o-y!

“No.. don’t, please don’t, don’t leave me alone.. Jeffery! Jeffery! Wake up!”

“Hucc” she tried to breath but the oxygen couldn’t reach her lungs.

Everyone in the city could hear the bell’s sound, as it rang from the church throughout the city. Tears were going down. As the others were saying goodbye.

...----------------...

‘Ughuh’ sniffed a women as she cried. “No Jeffery how could leave us all alone” the women kept crying as people were trying to get her into comfort.

A smirk from behind appeared. A mans laughters was heard all over the back of the church. “Pathetic humans, just one humans soul is enough to make the other souls cry. I can’t wait till the day I take them all.” strangely, throughout the church, no one could hear his laughter that was overwhelming with evil.

“-eal... Azreal..” Azreal looked down to find Danielle’s cold face staring at him “Huh? Oh, it’s you Danielle! Why are you intrupiting my best part of the day?”

“Satan, he requested you to attend the ball to welcome the new queen.” Danielle looked around at the crying faces surrounding them, and frowned. “You still have the habit of looking around, huh? Non of them can see us anyways. Tell satan I’ll attend but I’m a busy person you know.”

Azreal walked away as he thought ‘I’ve met countless amount of fallen angels that did many sins and got what they deserved in hell. But, for some reasons, Danielle gives a different vibe than them’

Danielle looked at Azreal as he was walking away ‘now back to work’ he muttered.

...----------------...

“Hailin.. When will I get to see you again?” thought Danielle with a sad face. On top of a building’s roof, where Danielle was sitting. A laughter of a joy where a couple was passing by. Danielle was looking down as they were passing by, and smiled dolorously. A tear almost fell but Danielle held it back. “If Hailin sees me like this she will be even sadder.” Danielle smiled painfully. Thousands of years have passed since I’ve been sent to earth with this curse. I wonder... does Hailin still remember me?’ Danielle kept thinking non-stop about the first and last love that was thousands of years ago.

Azreal patted Danielle’s back as he tried his best to show a warm smile. Danielle was surprised by how he didn’t notice his present, and his warm smile that didn’t match his face. Danielle managed to put on a straight face and smiled back, as a sense of relieveness Appeared inside Danielle’s chest.

“Azreal wasn’t a bad person. He had his reasons for his actions, a very good one.”

Danielle headed home. As midnight was approaching, Danielle was getting ready for the ball of satans new queen, so was everyone else.
