"Hudson , wake up! Enmei's wants to talk to you! " Hotaru called her brother from outside his door and he tossed and turned in bed and mumbled in his sleep.
"Hudson get up ! Can we walk to school together today ? " Enmei asked and Hudson eyes opened immediately.
Enmei was at his door and she didn't sound angry at him. Could it be that he had already been forgiven ?
He rushed to his door and opened it and his childhood friend was standing there waiting for him.
"I missed you so much ." Hudson said and he hugged her tightly.
"Can we talk in private for a moment ? " Enmei suggested and the blonde boy nodded as he let her into his bedroom.
Hotaru groaned in frustration as she walked off.
" I know you guys must be keeping some kind of secret and I can't stand it." She said and she stormed off as Hudson shut his bedroom door behind Enmei.
They both sat on his bed with a big space between them .
There was a moment of silence before Enmei blurted out what was on her mind.
" I have something to tell you." The girl said and Hudson turned to look at her for a second then he turned away and just stared at the floor .
"W- what is it ?" He asked and Enmei tried to find the words.
" I just feel like I owe you something in the worst way possible. I just have this feeling like all this time I've been depending on you to keep me happy and make me feel special but I've only been a burden."
"You're not a burden." Hudson reassured his friend and he moved a little closer to her on the bed.
" I'm the one who wanted to be around you all this time. I wasn't helping you because I felt you needed help but because I felt like being around you helped me. I only ever felt complete when I met you. When Eros came back I just started feeling like I was losing a part of my self but still I felt like he gave me something even better in return. I don't know how to explain it. Its like a feeling I never knew I had bottled up on the inside of me had slowly began rising to the surface." Hudson explained to his friend and he got a tiny bit closer to her again.
" Eros is quite the mystery. I mean I'm supposed to hate him but when I saw that you made him cookies I didn't hate him anymore. I was only jealous of you. I know Eros is toxic but I still can't hate him after everything he did so I kinda understand you . When I see you with Eros I don't feel like a good friend because for some strange reason I wished it was me standing with him."
"That's ok. I just think he was sent here to ruin our friendship."
" I think it's working. Hudson I need some space. " Enmei said and she moved away from him, also pulling her hand away from his.
"What ? I don't understand. How can you say that ? You hated Eros just like I did and I was the one who was trying to be his friend by making him cookies. I'm sorry I did that ." Hudson stated as regret found its way into his heart.
" Hudson be honest.You didn't love me ....and I didn't love you. We were just friends and I don't feel like I can bear this friendship any longer."
" You've changed." Hudson said sadly and he moved closer to her , finally meeting up to her at this point.
Their shoulders touched.
"I think the world needed me to." Enmei replied to her childhood friend and the time on the clock in the Hudson's room was now 11:11 .
" No it didn't. Did his hypnosis fogg your brain up ? You're my best friend. My only friend. " Hudson said as he grabbed Enmei's hand.
" Let's walk to school together one last time before we start giving each other space, kay ?" Enmei said and Hudson's eyes became flooded with tears.
" The Month of the Siren , the day of Forbidden Love , the year of Destruction."
"That's the day Eros was born and it set in motion the Catastrophic cycle that had been happening every orbit since he stepped foot into this world." Venus said as she sat on the living room floor of Eros' house
" That's really Eros' birthday?" Yukina asked and Venus nodded.
Yukina wasn't born on Planet Passion and so she didn't really know anything about Eros. Actually Yukina was saved by Venus and brought to Planet Passion as a way to keep her safe because Yukina's potions were so brilliant that the Anti Cupid wanted to use her for their own benefit and Aliens from Planet Veerie wanted to capture her and force her to get rid of them.
" Yea. Eros is a part of a really dark prophecy that gave some of us hope that a Savior would be coming but no one really knows who that savior is." Venus continued as all the members of the Affection Alliance listen to her attentively.
"The savior is a supposed to be a young Cupid girl who was born into poverty and ripped away from everything that she loved." Amorette added with a sad smile.
" Oh. Can't you guys stop spreading rumors about my life?" Eros asked as he stormed through his living room, grabbing the folklore book that Venus had right out of her hands.
" They're not rumors.They are stories passed down from our ancestors for millions of years." Venus defended as she stood up and tried to snatch the book back from Eros.
" They're lies and if you want to read about that do it elsewhere. NOT in my house !"
Eros said and he threw the book into the wall behind them.
Venus gasped as the book went flying pass her and almost hit Alto , the Seductive Speech user, in his face.
Alto stood up immediately.
"Look at the time . It's 11: 11. It must be a sign for me to leave." Alto stated and Eros gritted his teeth and just ignored him.
Venus got up and took the Folklore book off the floor where it fell after Eros threw it , she dusted it off sadly.
MEANWHILE AT COLLEGE....
" Hey, Hudson. Hi , Enmei." Jarrett said as he approached the two friends who were sitting in the science lab.
Hudson had on a labcoat , gloves , goggles and he was in the middle of pouring a green chemical into a red substance.
" Something's off. " Jarrett said as he observed the two friends who seemed to not notice him standing right there.
It was like each of them was in a different world today and Jarrett was so used to them being so in sync and upbeat .
" Did you guys fight ? " Jarrett asked and they finally turned to look at him.
" Enmei decided overnight that she's crushing on Eros and that she can no longer be my friend."
"That makes NO SENSE whatsoever " Jarrett said as he walked over to Hudson's side.
" I never actually said that." Enmei tried to defend herself but Hudson knew this feeling all too well.
When he went to Highschool with Eros all the girls that He liked wanted Eros and now his only friend was betraying him for Eros. It didn't really surprise him. As a matter of fact , he should have expected it sooner or later.
Hudson knew that ever woman who laid eyes on Eros could fall for him but he had been in denial.
Hudson was still sad even though he knew this might happen.
" Why didn't I see this coming ? My best friend is going to get her energy drained by an Alien Cupid that is a freaking energy vampire."
Hudson's thoughts got louder as he stared into space , throwing too much green chemical into the red one causing it to foam over.
The main reason why Eros and Hudson had hated each other so much was the existence of opposite sex. Girls . A Beautiful Girl was always the obstacle that stood in the way of their friendship and Hudson couldn't help thinking that maybe they weren't destined to be friends.
Their rivalry was about who was better in every way .
Power. Attractiveness. Popularity. Who got the most girls. One day a girl came along and made their rivalry even worse.
The sad thing about it is Eros got all the girls and he didn't even want them. He just drained their energy.
"Hudson ! Hudson ! Hudson, are you even listening to me ? " Jarrett asked realizing that the blonde boy was spacing out.
" Yes I heard you. " Hudson lied and Jarrett shook his head.
" Then what did I say ?" Jarrett asked and Hudson laughed nervously.
" Eros should go back to where he came from?" Hudson guessed and before Jarrett could reply Eros was storming into the room and grabbing Hudson by the back of his lab coat and pulling him out of his seat.
" I just got to school and you're already slandering my name ?"
" You took my best friend away from me ".
"No I didn't. She's right there."
" Everytime I care about someone they always end up loving you more. You always have every girl chasing after you and now you have Enmei."
"What are you blabbing about?" Eros asked Hudson and Hudson's eyes became a bit teary.
" She wants you and you're just going to drain her energy like a freaking Energy Vampire."
"You think I want HER energy? Why would I want anything to do with a girl who is EXACTLY LIKE YOU ?." Eros exploded with anger as if what Hudson said was the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard and Hudson slapped him across his face as hard as he could and walked off.
Eros grabbed him by his neck, pulling him back and turning Hudson around to face him.
Every one was staring at them and Eros still had his hand around Hudson's neck and an angry look on his face when the whole place started shaking.
"Earthquake!" One boy shouted as chemical jars and glass containers fell off the counters and broke causing various chemicals to run all over the room.
" Please Leave the lab immediately. This is NOT a drill." The girl that the teacher had left in charge announced ans students panicked.
They couldn't stay in the lab with all the chemicals that were now out in the air .
The roof started cracking as a large space ship slammed into it.
" You still want me to go back to where I came from ?" Eros asked Hudson and Hudson pushed him away and walked off again.
There was a flash of light as the spaceship opened from the bottom and Creatures that looked like Vampires with Extravagant wings exited the ship one by one .
" The Prince from Planet Veerie?" Eros stated.
The Human kids watched in awe as an Alien Species that were a cross between of Vampires and Fairies came into their presence.
"What a pleasure it is to meet you all. My name is Nightmare and I'm here to suck your blood, your soul and all your dreams away." The tall Vampire Prince that flew above them said then he broke out into a sinister and hysterical laughter.
Nightmare and all of the Vampire Fairies flew around chasing students all over the college and the place was filled with screams and fear.
" Hey, Nightmare! Don't you want to try to suck my blood first ?" Eros called after the tall Vampire and he turned to face him.
" Why would I do that when there's a girl over there beaming with excitement ?" Nightmare asked as he went after Enmei.
"Leave her alone! " Hudson screamed at the Vampire Fairy and He simply pushed Hudson using his super strength and sent him flying .
Eros catched Hudson before he hit the wall, put him on his back and brought him to a safe place.
" I'll make sure your friend's alright." Eros said and in a Flash he was back in the Lab fighting an half Vampire that came from Planet Veerie.
Eros threw glowing balls of power at the Vampire that burned his skin and the vampire took up chairs and desks using his super strength and threw them all at Eros.
Eros just dodged everything that nightmare threw at him and Nightmare was pissed.
" Eros , I can't stand you and that dumb prophecy. That's the only reason people love you. You're nothing without the lies."
Eros got angry and started levitating, letting his wings loose. He flew to meet Nightmare in the sky and Nightmare swooped down and grabbed Enmei as she tried to run out of the room.
" I have a feeling that this girl has something that might help us defeat you and your stupid prophecy!" Nightmare screamed angrily as he flew through a window , completely shattering the glass with Enmei in his arms.
She screamed.
" Please leave me alone. I'm just a regular girl. I have nothing to do with whatever you're searching for. "
" I'll have to find that out myself, Princess." Nightmare said and Eros blasted his arms with as much power as possible causing him to drop Enmei.
Enmei was falling from extremely high and she screamed in terror until Eros flew beneath her and catched her in his arms.
" Well played Eros but this is just the beginning of the Invasion." Nightmare said as he smirked at Eros.
Nightmare let himself fall then he vanished with a smile on his face.
The whole school was in a panic as the other Vampire Fairies snatched up students and left with them. They returned to their ship and the whole thing vanished.
Eros was frustrated, angry and he didn't know what to do.
Why were the Aliens from Planet Veerie coming to Earth.
He went back for Hudson and saw Jarrett talking to him.
"I saved your friend and now I have to find out
what's the deal with that disgrace from Outer Space."
" Are you stealing my insults ?I called you that the first time I found out you were really an alien. I can't believe you would remember that." Hudson said and Eros stared at him blankly.
" It was the most annoying I insult that I had ever gotten from you....how could I forget." Eros said and there was a bit of silence before Jarrett spoke.
" So you two hate each other? " The chubby boy asked dryly.
" Yes." Hudson said
" Obviously." Eros said and Jarrett just squinted his eyes as he looked at them.
" Right." Jarrett said in disbelief and he walked off .
" I'm gonna go get some therapy so that I won't be dreaming about Alien Vampires crashing into school all week but you guys can keep fighting over girls. You do whatever feels right for you in this moment I guess." Jarrett said and he walked away from Eros and Hudson with a full look on his face.
He was still shaken up by the sudden Alien Invasion that didn't really seem to phase Hudson or Eros.
Hudson got up and went looking for Enmei with Eros again and when he saw her he hugged her tightly.
" Please don't end our friendship. You can like Eros and still be my friend. I don't care if you start talking about him everyday. I just don't want to lose us." Hudson said as he let go of his friend.
" Oh okay. We can stay friends but don't say I didn't want you."
"Thank you so much.You won't regret it." Hudson told his childhood friend and she smiled softly.
" What class did we have next ?" Enmei asked.
" All students must email their first and last name to the school Dean and then return home immediately. Your safety is important to us ." A woman's voice announced over the intercom.
I guess that answered her question.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Enmei said and she left Hudson and Eros standing in the rumble in the classroom that was caused by the Invasion.
At 9pm Hudson was at home , laying in bed and feeling a strong energy flowing through his body.
" What's happening to me?''
He thought.
He opened his eyes and realized that he was glowing in his dark room.
" Damn." He said when he finally saw himself in the mirror.
Hudson was developing powers, but how and why ?
He was only a normal Human a few minutes ago but now his body was full of power and he felt excited by the new possibilities.
