Ch.3 Routine.
The alarm on your side table rang loudly, waking you up instantly.
You huffed and punched in quiet. What time was it anyway? The sun wasn't even up yet!
You were about to stuff your face in your pillow again to sleep more, until you got a few knocks on your door.
"Y/n, are you awake yet? We have some things to discus!" You hear Cupid's cheerful voice yell on the other side of your door.
"Be right there..." You mumble, stepping out of bed to put your uniform on.
Cupid stood in the hallway, tapping his foot impatiently. "Well, that's sometime we'll improve on.... Huh? Well.. Yeah you're right.. It is her first day after all.."
He spaced out again, looking blankly at his hands, his usual gloves missing.
He didn't even notice you standing in front of him, waving a hand in front of his face.
"Master Cupid?" You snap your fingers, snapping him out of his small trance.
"Oops! Sorry y/n! Anyway, we need to go over your routine." Cupid puts his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
"Don't worry! Its not that difficult! I've left notes around the house if you need any help!" He points to one of the pink sticky notes by the window.
"Follow me to my office, we'll talk there!" He twirls on his booted foot and walks with a skip in his step down the hall.
He was weird, in a cute way to you.. But was that just his aura getting to you?
You shake your head and follow him down the slightly chilled corridor.
It wasn't this cold yesterday.. Was it from it being so early in the morning? Or was it something else?
Cupid's office was cute, wooden desks with candy jars sitting on one side, a pink laptop with heart stickers on its case, the carpet being white, the walls a soft pink, a heart clock on the wall ticking, vases filled with roses were on every table.
"Take a seat please!" He smiles, sitting in his red soft chair, crossing one leg over the other.
You nod and take a seat across from him in one of the hot pink chairs.
"You seem rather fond of the color pink?" You spoke your mind, studying the room around you.
Cupid smiled with a pink blush faintly on his cheeks. "Well, this office used to belong to my mother, then I improved it. And I have to stay festive, I am Cupid Valentine after all!" He giggles a little.
"But, I'll let you in on a little secret, my favorite color is actually blue." He whispers with a wink.
He leans back in his chair. "But anyway, so. You're new routine schedule thingie.. Here." He sets a clipboard on his desk.
Looking over it, it wasn't that difficult to follow.
1.Wake up any sleeping idiot.
2. Clean their rooms.
3. If any, take their dirty laundry to the basement, where the washer and dryer is.
4. Check the mail daily.
5. Dust daily.
6. Take a break anytime you want. <3 ~ Cupid.
Cupid had very pretty handwriting. It was all written with tiny hearts over each letter I. And he used a sky blue gel pen.
"Seems simple enough." You smile. "Thanks Master Cupid."
"You're welcome. I told you it wouldn't be that difficult, Coby can be a it much sometimes. If he trashes something on purpose, you don't have to clean after him." Cupid rolls his pink irises.
"Is he always this childish?" You ask him, setting the clipboard in your lap.
Cupid nods. "Coby was spoiled rotten as a child. He thinks he's better than the rest of us.. He acts like a two year old.."
Cupid twirls his chair and faces his laptop, opening it to a.. Matchmaking app?
"I've got to get back to work, if there's anything you need feel free to ask." He puts on a pair of red glasses that framed his face cutely.
You stood up and walked to the door, until a thought came to your mind that you wanted to ask Cupid about.
"Oh, Master Cupid?"
"Yeah?" He replies, looking over his shoulder at you.
"I saw another skeleton yesterday. He looked a lot like you... Should I be concerned? He was awfully rude to me."
Cupid sighs with a face palm. "Yeah.. That's Lockheart. My brother, don't mind him he's a lazy jerk most of the time. Don't take what he says too seriously, he's rude to everyone."
"Is he one of my masters too?" You ask.
"...I guess he is? You don't have to listen to him though. If he causes you any problems, come to me."
"Yes Master Cupid." You bow and exit his office, going over your new schedule.
1. Wake up any sleeping idiots.
You smiled at that, Cupid must ignore the others, or has a slight disliking to them.
Walking up to a green door, you knocked a few times. "Master Coby? It's time to get up."
You hear annoyed groaning and hissing, until after a slither or two, the door opened.
Coby stood there shirtless, in his dark green and gold lined boxers, he even had a sleepmask and a mess of bed head, even if his hair was snakes.
"Oh, morning to you too S-s-sweets." He yawns, showing his many sharp teeth. And...fork tongue?
"Too bad I can s-s-see you now, or else I'd be in a much happier mood.~" He chuckles.
You blush faintly. "Can't you just take off your sleep mask?"
"Oh s-s-sweetie, you wouldn't want me to do that. Ya see, I've been known to cause people to 'freeze' on the spot with one single glare."
That made you think for a second.. If he had the Medusa eyes... Was he the reason for all those beautiful statues in the front yard?
The thought of it made a chill go down your spine.
"See you later Master Coby, I've got to wake the others now." You said a little too quickly and darted down the hall.
Leaving Coby lift his sleep mask and chuckle as he saw your frantic form rush down the hall.
Looks like you forgot your leggings today.
Surprisingly, Asher's door was already open, he was sitting on his bed putting his combat boots on.
"Good morning Master Asher." You greet him with a slight curtsey.
He looks up at you a smiles. "Top of the Mornin to ya lass. How's yer day been?"
"Master Cupid woke me up really early this morning, it wasn't even daytime!" You sit next to him, crossing your arms.
He pats you on the back, being careful of his claws. "Cupid's just makin' sure yer doin' yer job right. He's the early bird. Oh, and a wee bit of advice, don't wake up Hallow yet."
"Why is that?"
"He gets sunburnt really easily. He'll be up later tonight. Its his and I movie night, we make fun of all the twilight films, you can join us if ya want." He stands, starting to comb his hair.
"Sure, sounds fun." You stand up as well, Asher knew how to get you all giggly and giddy, didn't he?
"Great, I'll let him know." He walks over to his dresser and puts in his earrings.
"See you later Master Asher." You send him a wave and leave his room.
"Catch ya later lass." He calls after you.
You were relaxing on the front porch, sitting on the porch swing, a soft cool breeze blowing your hair back.
You tried to avoid the statues, since they still sent you a chill and a creepy vibe.
Humming to yourself, you saw a large box, sitting on the front porch.
"Huh?" You walk over to it and try to pick it up, however it was extremely heavy.
Lifting one of the flaps, it was filled with.. Books? Lots and lots of books, they seemed to be part of a series? And spider fiction books?
"You know, going through someone else's mail is a federal offence." A voice you haven't heard before snapped you out of your trance, making you jump.
Looking behind you, you saw a small skeleton, his violet eyes seeming to be staring deep into your soul, judging you mentally.
He wore a navy blue trenchcoat, grey pants and soft looking boots.
"I'll be taking that." He took the box in his arms, picking it up ease.
He sent you one last glare as he entered the mansion without another word.
Who was that?
And how come with one look, he already made you feel self conscious?
How many skeletons where secretly in this house?
