Valentinus chuckled, "D'awww how sweet! I'm blushing!" he said and poked Faythe's cheek. "I didn't even need to use my magic on you two, I'm so proud!" he said and fake sniffled. He turned serious though when Holly spoke to him about going with her. "Of course I'm going to go with you Holly. I said I'd go with you anywhere." he said and leaned in closer to her, smirking. "And I meant it." he whispered before backing away and fixing his hair. "Looking at me can make anyone smile huh?" he repeated and smiled. "Well thank-you, I'm happy to hear that. I guess we should get going, we'll be back soon Faythe. Don't worry, we'll take care of Silvermist for you." Valentinus assured and stepped into the sleigh.

Faythe was a blushing mess now at Valentinus' teasing but she managed to smile. "Alright then. I hope everything works out as planned. Have fun, all of you and please don't stay out too late." she said with a frown. She was afraid of the dark, especially if she was all alone. At least she'd have the kids with her.

Holly turned and waved to Faythe as Silvermist started to move. She turned around as she looked forward and laughed softly. " You know we really need to work on helping you learn to fly Silvermist. I keep forgetting I'm not the only one who hasn't learned about their magic. You know if you ask nicely I'm sure that Faythe could help you or would enjoy watching you practice. " Holly was surprised as Silvermist suddenly stopped and turned glaring at her. "Oh my....tis tis such a adttitude wont help you learn how to fly any faster." She said as she smiled and looked to Valentinus. " Men never like being reminded of their own flaws. " She said softly as she smiled warmly at Valentinus. " I would hope you would never need to use your love magic on me. I would think a love that come genuinely would be worth more to you than one you make with magic. " She said in a playful voice as Silvermist headed for the hospital. " The place was rather strange last time I went. It was like something dark and depressing was there. I didn't really notice it at first. " Holly said thinking back to her last trip to the hospital.

" Oh well at lest I have a handsome guy to catch me if I faint this time!" She said with a beautiful smile. She laughed as saw the building coming into view. "Oh look just in front of us there it is. " She said as she pointed out the old depressing looking building. "Well at lest we have some goodies to help brighten the place up. Maybe Silvermist can help me work on the inside and outside of it to make it a little more....festive?"

Silvermist was still thinking about what Holly had mentioned. He was rather annoyed with her for bringing up the fact he couldn't fly. It had been a big issue with him and his father along with the other reindeer. His father had told him that he couldn't be the King of reindeer if he couldn't fly no reindeer would ever respect him. However if his father knew about how he was starting to feel about Faythe he was sure his father would have some issues with it. He could just image the speech he would get. " You are the future King and there are rules and duties that you must obey by. Falling for some dove is unspeakable. What kind of Queen would she make to deer? What kind of life would she have as your mate? " The thoughts honestly made him a little depressed.

Silvermist came to a sudden halt as he stared at the depressing hospital once again. He felt weak again as if something was draining him once again. He felt his negative thoughts trying to come back as he just stood there. Something was off about this place and it was more than just the sadness and gloom that was about it. Silvermist couldn't put his figure on it but something powerful was at play. It was as if every dark thought every sad thought every negative emotion, feeling, or thought was being pulled to the front of every persons mind who came near the gloomy and depressing place. Silvermist felt his knees start to weaken as he did his best to stand on all fours. He prayed that Holly was right and all the place needed was some decorations and for the people to see that there was hope.

However something was nagging him in the back of his mind about this place. He felt as if a unseen force was at play here. Something about this place wasn't right and it was more than it's outward appearance. He looked to Valentinus and Holly worried for them both. " Be careful when you enter this place. Something doesn't feel right about this place. Valentinus your in danger just as Holly is. This place has no love so you can't stay long. You don't need to be in there long. Holly if you believe that changing the outside and inside will help to brighten people's moods and out looks then I'll give it my all." Silvermist said as he looked at the building. He focused his mind and thought about the things that he loved and brought him cheer. Suddenly his crystal glowed brightly. When it vanished the hospital looked like a castle from a fairy tale. There where roses blooming every where of different colors and beautiful plants about the new building.
Silvermist hit the ground to tired to even stand as he curled up and drifted off to sleep.

Chaos turned as the feeling of love and hope suddenly appeared. Chaos turned hearing the pain that the human male was in. " Shh I know you are in pain. I'll deal with it don't you worry." Chaos said as she suddenly vanished from the forest of white flowers that grew through the hospital flower. She felt a shiver of pain as suddenly strong magic swept through the hospital. It made her clinch her teeth as she managed to appear in spirit form outside of the hospital. She held her right shoulder with her left hand having been hurt by the sudden burst of strong magic. She scanned the entrance of the hospital for the source. Her mouth feel open seeing what had happen to the hospital. It was no longer the hospital she was use to seeing. Her eyes then narrowed as she saw the ones responsible.

" That blond haired girl! She's back again! " Chaos said as she clinched her right fist. Her eyes the landed on the pink haired boy as she froze in place. She felt fear and other emotions she had felt in years surge through her icy veins as she stared at him. He looked so much like her dear Leo had. She felt as if her heart had shattered all over again staring at the boy. There was no mistake who he was. He was a son of cupid. She could feel the power of love running through his veins as they had once run through Leo's. How could Cupid have done this. She felt her own anger start to boil as she reached out to the apple tree beside her using it to brace herself. The tree suddenly dying almost instantly at her touch the grass and everything living near where she stood following suit.

She knew that her dear Leo would be in great pain by the Pink haired man being so near. However there wasn't anything she could do to stop him. Not at this current time at least. She had forgotten about the stupid blond haired girl. The girl was unimportant now. Her real prize was cupid's son that had so willingly walked into her web. She would let him live for now and walk freely and even use his magic in the hospital. She knew that he would never find the floor that her dear Leo was on and if he tried the poor Pink haired boy would suffer greatly. For now she and her dear Leo would have to endure the pink haired man's visit.

Faythe waved back to Holly and watched them leave before walking into the house and shutting the door behind you7. "I hope you are proud of your son sir, he is still silly but he has matured as well and I think he is learning what love really is about." she said to no one in particular since cupid wasn't there of course. Faythe decided to wake the children and get them some food at the table. "You must all be hungry." she said with a smile as she cooked.

Valentinus watched the interaction between Silvermist and Holly and smiled. "Now now, I'm sure Faythe wouldn't mind helping him learn but she has wings and he does not. If I know anything about Santa's reindeer it's that they use magic to fly. So I think Silvermist here just needs to focus on his magic and hope for the best. Practice makes perfect." Valentinus said. "Don't worry about it though Silvermist, it's never good to rush into things." he added and looked at Holly. "Women don't like it either." he replied and smirked. "Trust me, I'm not using any magic on you." he said and quickly gave her a kiss on the lips before turning his attention straight ahead.

"True, I'll make sure your pretty little self doesn't hit the floor." Valentinus answered honestly. When he saw the hospital he frowned. The hospital was giving off some negative energy and he was terrified of going inside but he had to, he wanted to help. Listening to Silvermist, Valentinus nodded. "Don't worry, we'll be very careful We won't be in there that long I'm sure." he said and watched as the building's appearance changed. "Wow.." he said quietly and smiled sadly when Silvermist had fallen to sleep. "We should do this quickly." he suggested.

Holly nodded and blushed as she picked up the different treats Valentinus had worked so hard on. She carried them to the front door and froze for a moment as she felt something shoot through her. She felt fear, pain, anger, despair, everything negative hit her like a brick wall. However suddenly the feeling vanished as she peered down at Valentinus cookies that seemed to glow red suddenly. She stared at them in awe seeing how beautiful they looked. She managed to open the door as the heart cookies glowed even brighter inside. "Oh so this is Val's magic." She said as she sat the boxes down on the front desk. She slowly open one of the boxes and a nurse appeared and took one. The women didn't seem to notice the glowing red cookies. But after taking a bite the women's appearance changed. The women seemed happy and full of love and joy. It confused Holly but she smiled knowing it was because of Valentinus magic and love he put into everything he baked. She helped hand out the cookies to the different patients. Suddenly all the negative feelings seemed to compliantly vanish.

Holly smiled as her box of cookies vanished. She looked around the hospital at the change. No one seemed to have noticed the magic that Silvermist had done on it. Everyone was just excited for the cookies. She stared down at the last cookie in her box as it glowed a red color still. It was warm like Val and made her smile. She wondered why no one else could see the red the cookies glowed. Holly paused as she looked away from her last cookie as the room across from her. She turned as she slowly walked in seeing a young girl laying in a bed. The girl was hooked up to many machines it looked as if she was barely alive. Holly looked around the girls room as she closed her eyes and thought about Valentinus. Suddenly the room was covered in beautiful decorations as well as the entire hospital.

Holly gently walked out of the room as she went and found Valentinus. " Hey there is a young girl that I think you could help. I brought toy's and different supplies from the village so why don't you read to her. I have a book of different fairy tales." Holly said as she walked outside and came back with the book handing it to him. " Why not read to the girl since she can't eat one of your cookies it might make her happy. " Holly suggested as she smiled softly. " Don't worry Silvermist and I will finish passing out the gifts. Your goodies are a big hit and magical." She said giving him a playful wink before running off and helping to finish up handing out the gifts they had brought.

Silvermist slowly woke as he suddenly felt energized. He woke up as he found himself in his human form. He was surprised and didn't understand what had happen. He looked up when he felt something being placed on his head. He smiled as he saw Holly above him she had placed a beautiful top hat on him. He laughed as he got up and looked around the hospital it wasn't nothing like it had been. He walked with Holly helping her pass out the gifts. He froze momentary as he thought he heard screams coming from the end of the hallway near the nurses station. A nurse appeared and told him and Holly not to worry there was nothing down there but the entrance to the basement to the hospital. Silvermist looked to Holly as he saw her face. It was obvious she had heard the screams. However he was surprised that the screams seemed to vanish as soon as they heard them. He looked around at the remains of Valentinus goodies and the bright red glow coming from them. " Ah, so this is what love magic looks like when it's activated. " He said as he looked to Holly. " Don't worry the human's can't see it. Mortals can't see what we can. I'm sure they couldn't see my horns or most of them couldn't the children could but most adults couldn't. It's strange I wonder what caused all the negative feelings before. I'd say we owe all of this to Valentinus his magic is powerful indeed. Cupid would be very proud of his son I'm sure. Don't worry little Holly we'll get there some day. Besides before coming here you couldn't use any of your magic. " Silvermist said smiling at Holly.

Olivia heard something beautiful and could feel a warm soothing light. Something was in her room it was beautiful even she couldn't deny it. She had given up on the world long ago and ever being part of it. Olivia felt like she was coming out of a fog seeing the warm pink and red light grow brighter. She wasn't sure if she was alive or dead but the light spoke to her. It was so kind and soothing she found herself drawn to it. It was so kind an gentle something she had felt or known in such a long time. That sweet light made Olivia want to chase after it and join it. For the first time she wanted to run and be a normal girl again. She wanted to live. Suddenly she heard the sounds of strange thing going off blocking her hearing of the sweet light. She screamed out in her mind trying to find the light not wanting it to leave her.

Holly and Silvermist had a few more bags to deliver when Holly saw a group of nurses and doctors rush to the room of the girl that she had asked Valentinus to read to. Holly felt a little worried as she ran to the room as well. She peered in finding it hard to see Valentinus among the forest of white uniforms. The doctors and nurses where all shouting and screaming in excitement and panic at the same time. Holly watched the machines as she heard the doctors finally clam down hugging one another and starting to talk normally.

" I don't understand how but there is no doubt after five years of silence Miss Stratton is showing signs of brain activity. She starting to wake from her comma. Poor girl what are we going to tell her when she fully wakes up? She has no family near by. We should let her parents know they have been away for so long. It is a great day after so long I wonder what made the girl come to life suddenly?"

Holly heard one of the doctors say as the group started to leave. She finally saw Valentinus and smiled happy to see he was alright. She looked at the young girl and then to Valentinus. It was Valentinus who had managed to reach the girl Holly was sure of it. Valentinus really was amazing. She smiled softly as she stood there.

Holly watched Valentinus and smiled seeing how kind he was. She turned as she left heading back out and helping Silvermist finish passing out everything. She was surprised to see what time it was when they where finally done. Holly made the last of her rounds and then popped back into the room as she smiled at Valentinus. " Ok Prince Charming it's time to go home your majesty." She said in a playful voice as she walked over to him and peered down at the book seeing what page he was on. She then looked at the poor girl and frowned slightly. " It's sad that all it took was someone to read to her to make her wake up. Well we do need to get heading out I'm sure that the others are worried about us. Besides we need some food and rest ourselves. I'm sure she enjoyed your company today."

Olivia felt something else and saw a flicker of light join the other. For some reason it hurt her to see that small flicker near the other light. She couldn't explain why but it made her heart hurt. She wanted to scream out for the flicker to leave her and that beautiful warm, kind light alone. That voice it was so beautiful she wished she had such a beautiful voice and could be that light so warm and kind. She wished she could be the hope that guided people. Olivia found herself wanting to do more than just lay in her bed. For the first time in a very long time she was aware she alive. She couldn't see taste or touch anything but she could smell and in her own way she could see the warm light and the flicker. The warm light had a lovely smell and the flicker smelt like peppermint, no gingerbread, no wait ever green trees, no light soft fallen snow, no...the smell changed for that flicker it was like everything Olivia had once loved about Christmas.

Holly smiled as she blushed softly and giggled. " Oh you really are a charmer. Come on handsome we need to get you back to your shop. I'm sure that Faythe is ready to have you back." She said as she lead the way out of the hospital. She smiled as she saw Silvermist already back in his deer form waiting on them. She harnessed Silvermist back up to the sleigh and made sure that everything was correct before hopping into the sleigh herself. Holly looked at the hospital and smiled. " I think we did good today. This place is diffidently different from how we found it. It's strange though I've never seen your cookies glow like they did. It's almost like they where detecting something and reacting to it." Holly said as she gently snapped the reigns giving Silvermist the command to move.

Holly was starving by the time they had made it back to the shop. She drove to the back of the shop and got out. She helped Silvermist free himself from the sleigh and smiled as she watched him transform. " Mmm...I'm so hungery I can't wait to eat. I hope that Faythe has some food. " She said as she paused and her eyes got larger. "Oh can Faythe even cook? We left her alone here with the children. Oh no we should go make sure everything is alright!" Holly said in a hurry as she bolted for the back door.

SIlvermist watched Holly as he shook his head. " I pity the man that ends up with Holly. She has a great heart but tends to act before she thinks things through. " He said watching her almost fall face first in to the back door due to the speed at witch she had ran to open it. He sighed and shook his head as he put his hand up to his face and sighed again. " With Holly it's a good things she is immortal. Some days I have to ask my self why me." He said as he put his hand down and laughed to himself as he smiled. " But then again it could be much worse for all her flaws that heart of hers is flawless. " He said as he turned and looked to Valentinus. "Did you feel how strong the negative energy was today at that place? I know Holly felt it but she didn't understand what she was feeling. I have felt that same way in the Claus's domain you can feel powerful emotions of happiness and joy when you enter the north pole. Today I could have swore that there was a being there that was the source of the feelings we felt. I don't want to scare Holly but if I'm right in my guess you two may not be the only immortals here. Your cookies I bet have never glowed like they did today. Holly wasn't wrong in her guess I'm almost certain that they glowed so brightly reacting to the negative energy they came in contact with. For the negativity to be so strong in one place it would take a truly powerful being to cause it and to keep it in one place. I'm afraid we might have unknowingly entered another immortal's domain. " Silvermist said seriously for once.

"I believe your father would know more about what happen today. If memory serves me well your father is one of the oldest of the immortals and of the guardians that guard over the humans. Santa I'm afraid would have been no match for what we encountered today. Whatever is there is stronger than Holly and I put together. It was your magic that broke the power of whatever is calling that place home. I believe you should invite your father down for a chat. If today was any sign this might be the darkness that your father and Holly's along with the other guardian's are feeling. Besides I think it would be good for all of us to meet. " Silvermist said softly.

Olivia screamed out but it was to late the warm light was leaving. She wanted to scream and run after it but she couldn't. Olivia could hear the doctors rushing in and out of her room. However none of them could hear her. She couldn't tell them she was awake or to bring back the kind voice and sweet light that had been with her. One things was for sure she didn't like the flicker of light that had come near the warm kind light. The flicker had made the warm bright light leave her. The light was so warm and so kind she wanted to be with it. And the voice that came from it melted her heart every time it spoke. Olivia laid in her bed still prisoner of her own body. She was surprised when one of the doctors realized she was fully awake and started talking to her kindly.

The painful tubs where removed from her and she was able to breath on her own for once. Her throat hurt so bad from the tube that had been in it. She couldn't talk still but it was nice to breath on her own. She was able to nod her head slightly at questions that the doctors asked. She found that talking wasn't something she could handle right now. If she could she would have told them to bring back the warm light with the kind voice to read to her some more. As strange as it was she felt tired and fell back to sleep but this time it wasn't because of her coma state. It was because she felt peace.

Chaos had watched the party leave her eyes stayed on Valentinus as she split into two identical copies of herself. The pair started at each other before nodding and suddenly started to follow the sleigh. They jumped from roof top to roof top nothing seeming to really worry them. The pair stood like two guards as the peered down from the large clock tower at Valentinus and the strange deer that had transformed into a man. The pair looked at one another as a evil grin appeared on the blue eyed version of Chaos face. " What's fair is fair. The young cupid took from us now we shall take from him." The blue eyed one said as suddenly both pair held out their hand a pair of identical black staffs appeared. Suddenly the pair laughed together as they leaped from the tower and landed down on the busy street.

The two girls started running together perfectly in sync with one another as they let their black staffs touch the ground as they ran. "Balance must be kept." The red eyed one said as a black wave quickly spread through the entire village. Mayhem, madness, darkness, fear, and everything in between suddenly was unleashed upon the village. Fires suddenly broke out. There where accidental deaths due to horse's being scared by the sudden fires that appeared in the village burning down houses and threatening to take out others. Everything in town went to Choas in a matter of seconds. The girls stood in front of Valentinus shop. It was the only safe place in the entire village. Choas could not out right attack another immortal even she had limits and bounds placed on her. However she pulled out a black pot from the Greek time period and placed it in front of Valentinus front door. She pulled out a petal from one of her roses in her hair as it turned black suddenly. She kissed it and infused it with the power of Choas as the petal turned into a black heart. A ancient Greek text appeared on the flower in gold writing.

" Love knows no bounds, it knows no race, no age, no social order. Love cares not where you are from or what you have done. Love can unite all and can destroy all. Love is something that one man could never hope to own. Love is a gift and should be cherished and protected. If a man has found love then he is indeed blessed. Because the greatest gift is to love and to be loved in returned."

Choas felt her heart break again as she read the petal before placing it in the pot and leaving the store. The memories of her past life hit her like a wall as she walked through the village collecting all the negative emotions. Those words had been spoken to her by one person she had loved. He was famous for those words and for not obeying the set rules of the guardians or even his father. The man had broke the rules to appear to Choas those many years ago. He had some how taken a liking to her and had managed to give her fading life meaning. He was kind and he would do things that no other love god would do to help people in need. He never asked for anything in return he did everything because he felt it was the right thing to do. He was what all love gods should have been like. " Choas felt even to this day as a small tear escaped her eye. She gathered all the energy she needed and left the other version of her vanishing as she went back to the hospital. She appeared before the now sleeping human man. She walked over to him as she kissed his cheek softly giving him all the negative energy she had collected. She stepped back as she let out a breath of relief seeing that his charts and machines had returned back to normal. She could see that he was in pain but the pain was starting to go away. She slowly looked around the room as memories flooded her mind. She looked back at the man as she frowned.
" One day you'll see me I know it. You saw me when I was nothing." She whispered as she felt a strange presences in the hospital. It hadn't been there before.

Valentinus sat back and enjoyed the ride back to the shop. When they arrived, he stepped out and watched Holly run off and almost get hurt, he shook his head and sighed. "She can cook Holly, you shouldn't worry about that. Besides, she needs to feed the kids." he said to her and looked at Silvermist, laughing softly as well. "I did feel it yes, it was extremely painful but thankfully the pain vanished soon enough." Valentinus started. "Wait, you think there's another immortal out here causing pain?" he asked Silvermist in a low voice. It was true, his cookies never glowed so bright before, so that was obviously a sign that something bigger was at play.

"He would yes. I would have to invite him over and hope he accepts the invitation. He is a busy god so let's hope he accepts. Although I think he will accept since he hasn't seen me or Faythe since we first arrived here." he said and used magic to write a letter explaining what had happened and then used that magic to make it vanish. "Done, now we wait." Valentinus said as he and Silvermist followed Holly inside through the back to find Faythe busy cooking away. "We're back!" he said happily.

Faythe looked up when she saw Holly and Valentinus. She blushed seeing Silvermist. "Welcome back the three of you, I hope everything went well?" she asked and started to serve the dinner for everyone. "Please take your seats and eat up. I know you're all probably hungry. I baked some croissants as well." she said as she placed a basket filled with croissants at the middle of the table.

Holly's mouth feel open as she saw a strange white haired women through the front window. Their was something off at her however the women was gone before Holly could even blink. "What on earth?" Holly said as her hands went over her mouth seeing accidents happen left and right out in the street in front of the shop. "Oh my what is going on?" She said as she saw one of their children on the side walk near the front door. She hurried to the door and quickly open it pulling the young boy back the of his shirt collar into the shop slamming the door just in the nick of time. Her eyes widen as a large sign went flying by their front side walk. She looked down at the small boy who held a black Greek looking pot. She stared at it as she went to take it from the boy and let out a scream as a black aura suddenly appeared around the pot making the young boy drop it. The pot however seemed to float to a table as the table it sat on suddenly turned black and all the chairs and area around the table. A foreboding aura filled the shop where the pot had taken up residence. Suddenly a strange writing appeared on the pot in a bright gold color. It read Cupid to those who could read the text. " Holly shuttered near the door with the small boy not liking the pot one bit.

Silvermist felt something as he ran suddenly inside. He looked outside as he saw the young boy. " Holly!!!" He yelled out feeling something evil with the boy. Chills ran up his spine as he saw the young boy caring a black pot. "NO Holly don't touch it!" He warned but it was to late. Suddenly he screamed out as well as he felt the power coming from the enchanted pot. He slowly made his way to Holly as he wrapped his arms around her holding her to himself as he saw tears running down her face as she held her hand. He looked down as she moved her hand to show the strange Greek symbol burned into her hand from touching the pot. Silvermist gently picked her up as he carried her to the kitchen and sat her down in front of the sink. He quickly put her hand under water trying to help stop the burning. He was honestly scared at this point. It was rare for something to hurt those like him and Holly. Whatever this was it was powerful and meant to leave a message for someone.


Chaos closed her eyes as she floated up to the next floor easily doing so thanks to not having a physical body of her own. She wondered the halls that lead her to where the young girl was that had been awoken. "Interesting." She said as she gazed at the young girl. Of all the people here this one girl was the only one able to see Chaos herself. Chaos was impressed that the young girl had left her dreams. Normally Chaos had to visit her in her mind but this time it appeared she could stay outside of the girls mind to conversant with her. " I bet you would like to talk wouldn't you little one." Chaos said as she walked over and pulled out a heart shape bottle with pure love magic in it. As she gently open the girls mouth and dripped several drops into the girls mouth before letting the girl go and closing the bottle returning it to her magic pocket. "There you go now why don't you tell me about the boy that came and read to you." Chaos said in a very sweet voice.

Olivia was surprised as she heard the same voice she had heard before. She saw the beautiful purple and black light in her room and was surprised to see that it be longed to the beautiful white haired girl she was use to talking to. She didn't fear the women as the women dripped some warm soothing drops into her mouth. Suddenly see felt like she did before when the warm light had been in her room with the kind voice that read to her. For the first time in a long time she could feel. She felt the women unwrapping her eyes as she had to close them from the bright light. She slowly open them again and found that she could see. She stared at the lovely women in awe as she smiled up at her. " You are as lovely as ever. I wasn't able to see who read to me but I did see a warm red and pink light when he was here. The light was so genital and warm and his voice was so kind." Olivia said softly as she looked down in horror at her body.

Chaos frowned as she saw the girls reaction to seeing her missing limbs. " Shhhh clam down. I tell you what if you promise to ask the doctors to bring him back to read to you and once you are fully healed to stay close to him and help him I'll grant you your wish. But you must keep your promise to me and you must tell no one of me it's our little secret." Chaos said as she pulled out the bottle once more for the young girl to see. " This is pure love magic. It is some of the most powerful magic in the entire world. That boy has this that is what you felt that was so warm about him. However there are some that are wanting to use him. You see love can be used for evil. He doesn't know it but having such a power is dangerous. He needs someone to look after him. " She said as she open the bottle and held it out to Olivia's mouth. " If you drink this then you make a pact with me to never ask questions when I tell you things and to do as I say and to keep that boy safe." She said as Olivia nodded. Chaos nodded as she poured the entire bottle down the girls throat. Chaos looked to the door as it suddenly slammed shut and locked it's self. Olivia screamed out as a red light came from her body.

Chaos herself stood by the door as she watched the girl's body regenerate its self. The love magic changed her into a beautiful young girl that not many would recognize. The young girl was enchanting now and like all the other love gods she had love magic flowing through her veins. But unlike them she would crave more and would want to be even more loved by others. Chaos watched the young girl sleep as she walked over to her and kissed the young girls fore head as a gold Greek style bracelet appeared on the girls wrist noting her as one with love magic. " You shall no longer be Olivia your are Enchanting. There for from this day forward you are Enchanting. I have a good feeling that Cupid has never taught his son about the past or about you and I. So sleep well my beautiful Enchanting I believe that the young love guardian himself will fall quiet in love with you upon first glance. " She said as she vanished going back to her watch in the basement of the young dark haired male. " Soon Leo soon."

Valentinus stared at the pot in fear as he read what it said. "This is for me." he said to them and frowned. Whoever sent this was after him but why? Quickly, he sent another letter to his father explaining all this and sighed softly. "I hope my father is actually reading these letters. For now let's not panic. No one is allowed to touch that. Everyone go to your rooms and stay there!" he ordered and looked at Faythe who looked frightened. "It's okay Faythe, my father will help us I am sure of it." he said to her and stared at the pot.

Cupid had received both letters and read them both, frowning. "What's wrong?" Aphrodite asked. "Valentinus needs my help. Apparently something very wrong is going on. Here, this is the first letter he wrote." he said and handed Aphrodite the first letter. "Just now he sent this one." he said and handed her the second one. "Oh dear, we need to go help him!" she stated. "I know, I know. But it could be too dangerous for us right now." he said as he walked across the clouds and shot an arrow down to the earth. It would help restore things if they were destroyed. "For now I shall help this way but tomorrow we visit earth." he said to her.

Silvermist frowned as he saw that the strange symbol was only getting worse. He watched as he saw Hollys veins in her hand starting to turn black. "Valentinus I think we need your father's help immanently. Something bad is happening to Holly. I'm no expert on our kind but I don't think it's you this pot was left for. If you touch it I have a feeling it's going to do the same thing to you. I think whatever is happening to Holly is a safeguard against anyone else opening the pot. You said the pot was for you but what if it's for your father instead? The pot looks to be from the past the only guardian who would have any idea would be your father. You and your father are both cupid are you not? I don't like what's happening to Holly!" Silvermist said as he turned watching Holly's arm suddenly turn to stone. He watched in horror as it started spreading through her body she was turning into a statue before him. Silvermist was trying his best to use all his magic to help stop the process but he was only delaying it slightly. " Love magic I think is the only thing strong enough to stop this. If he wont help you tell him Holly is in trouble the keeper of the spirit of christmas the guardian of hope. He'll have to help then. "

Valentinus started to panic and shakingly wrote his father a third and final letter telling him what was happening. Using his magic, he sent it and stared at the door.

Upon reading the third one, he showed it to Aphrodite and the two of them quickly appeared inside of the shop. His eyes looked on Holly as he pulled out an arrow and aimed it at her heart. "This should work. Don't worry it won't hurt." he said and shot the arrow right at Holly's heart. When it hit, it vanished and Holly was back to normal. "There we go." he said and looked at the black pot. "Ahhh this is the main problem." he said as he walked over to it and read what it said. "Love knows no bounds, it knows no race, no age, no social order. Love cares not where you are from or what you have done. Love can unite all and can destroy all. Love is something that one man could never hope to own. Love is a gift and should be cherished and protected. If a man has found love then he is indeed blessed. Because the greatest gift is to love and to be loved in returned." Cupid read aloud and frowned. "This arrived today?" he asked.

Valentinus nodded, "Y-yes." he said. It was clear to see he was afraid and Faythe frowned as she quickly pulled him into his arms to comfort him. "What does this mean?" she asked cupid. "This is obviously a threat." Aphrodite answered and read the message to herself. "It's for you or your son. Love should be cherished and protected...that seems like a big clue as to what might happen." she said to them.

Holly looked at her hand where the strange symbol still burned some into her flesh. It then started to vanish as she sat on the floor with Silvermist still holding her her tight. " A lady was outside her hair was of white. She had red eyes and looked sad." Holly said as the pain started to leave her body. I could see through her it was strange. I thought maybe I was imaging things. " Holly said as she looked to Silver mist and just relaxed in his arms as the pain started to finally disappear. " Thank you. I'm sorry." She said softly.

Silvermist looked up at Valentinus and then at Cupid and Aphrodie. " I am sorry for requesting you help but I was worried about Holly. It's my job to take care of her. " SIlvermist said softly as he looked to Holly. " There is a place here that we went to twice now. The first time Holly alone and she was drained of her magic and energy. Today it was like something was there. Holly and I thought we heard screams when Valentinus to the place. It's a hospital today Valentinus cookies glowed a bright red as if reacting to something. The negative energy there was very strong. I am wondering if there is another like us here. I say that because after we left that pot appeared and so did all the damage and Chaos that came after. The strange greek writing and symbol I don't believe are by mistake. I have a feeling that it's due to us going to that place. I believe unknowingly we have awoken something that should have never been awoken. Because of the age and origin I had asked Val if you would know about the identity of the immortal. I believe that Val isn't necessarily the target. If the taste of what we felt today is any sign I believe that even Val would have already fell victim to the strong magic. I believe the only reason we where allowed to enter the hospital today was the being allowed us for some reason. I think it has a history with you cupid I might be wrong.

" Sounds like Leo had a better understanding of love than you. " Holly said without thinking as she thought about what was written that had been read. " Love can unite or it can destroy. Why did you refuse to let him help the girl? It sounds like you felt she wasn't good enough for him. Maybe in your haste you forgot yourself that love doesn't know bounds. Love doesn't care about a age or a race. Love is a force that can unite unlikely things. How could you punish your son that way? It sounds like your saying the only reason your happy with Val is because he obeys you. It sounds like Leo was just following his heart something that all people should do and beings. So if Val wanted to save me and you told him no would you treat him the same way you have your first son?" Holly said as she felt rather angry thinking about the poor boy who had been punished as such.

Silvermist quickly put his hand over her mouth as he held her close. " Excuse little Holly she has had a long day." He said smiling as he bowed polity to Cupid. He cut his eyes to Holly trying to get her to stop. Cupid wasn't someone to anger even Silvermist knew that. He was old and powerful and honestly Silvermist didn't feel like being stuffed and hanged somewhere in the man's home in the clouds. " Please excuse us I think it's time for bed." He said as he tried to make Holly get up and go with him. However as he feared Holly wasn't going any where until she got the truth from Cupid. She was stubborn.

"NO I'm not sorry!" Holly said as she held onto a table leg as Silvermist tried to pull her away. " I want to know if he would do the same to Val if Val followed his heart! I'm not going any where until I hear his honest answer! I want to know why Val is in trouble Val hasn't done anything wrong. I believe that there is more to this story and he isn't telling us everything. If his son is human it means he has no power so his son couldn't be the culprit. It has to be someone who knew about what happen so who does that leave? " She said almost yelling as she fought to stay close to the table.

Chaos kept her watch over her dear Leo through the night and when morning came she made her appearance on the roof of the Clock tower. She gazed at the shop where she left her pot. She held out her hand as he summoned her pot. Suddenly she smiled as white flowers burst from the black pot they covered the entire black table. They fell in the pattern of Chaos. A white feather appeared out of them enchanted and cursed. If any of the loves touched it they would lose their powers. Chaos would test to see how wise they really where. She vanished from her post as she head back to the hospital.

Enchanted woke as she noticed people gathered around her. She panicked and leaped from her bed as she saw they where all doctors. " I'm alright I promise." She said as she put her hands over her mouth hearing her voice it was beautiful. She looked to the doctors who repeated back what she said and all nodded as they looked and acted strange as if under some spell. Enchanted thought it was odd but ignored it as she looked down at her body she was a real girl again. She laughed as she paused seeing a glimpse of her reflection. She walked to the bathroom and looked at herself she was beautiful. She smiled as she remembered what the women had said. She didn't know how the women did this but she wasn't going to question. She remembered what the women had said as she rushed to the front desk and asked who had come yesterday.

She smiled as the the nurse gave her the address to the shop. Enchanted noticed that people seemed to act strange around her. She was so impressed when she saw the outside world for the first time. Her mouth fell open. She laughed as she ran through the village. She laughed and giggled as she found some people to guide her to the shop. She was in awe of it as she knocked on the front door not seeing anyone inside.

Both Cupid and Aphrodite noticed this and before Aphrodite could touch the flowers, Cupid shook his head. "Do not touch it, we don't know-" he started and widened his eyes when he saw the pattern. "Chaos..." he whispered and felt shivers run up his spine. "What?" Aphrodite asked. "Chaos is the cause of this! How come I didn't notice it before! it was right in front of us all this time just in disguise. All the disaster going on was because of Chaos!" Cupid explained. "So how do we get rid of Chaos?" Aphrodite asked and looked up when Faythe walked down the stairs. "Don't touch anything near the pot Faythe." Cupid warned.

Valentinus woke up the next day and yawned softly. He wondered if Holly was awake and rubbed his eyes tiredly as he heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" he called and quickly walked down the stairs and opened the door to see a girl standing there. "Oh...uhhh hello." he said and raised an eyebrow. "Is there something I can help you with miss?" he asked politely.

"Oh it's you!" Enchanted said as she smiled at him warmly. She smiled so warmly as she reached out and hugged Val. Instantly she felt a surge of warmth course through her like she had felt from the potion her friend had given her. She giggled as she let go of him. " Oh my talk about electric." She said as she laughed and smiled at him. He was captivating she stared into his lovely eyes. "Oh forgive me I'm one of the relatives from the girl you read the book to. I'm sorry to say that she will be going home but she said so many nice things. I wanted to meet the person who was so kind to her. I promised her and her parents that I would come and thank you and help you as you need it. My family just moved here." She said trying to make a believable story.

Holly tried to wake but she couldn't. She kept having night mares. She slowly woke as she looked down at her hand. The mark even though it wasn't visible it was like it was still there. She was unsure why but she couldn't stop thinking about the mark and everything that happen. She stayed in the bed as she thought about everything that had happen up to this point.
