Love Potion I
Astrid's Point of View
The driver’s face was confused as to why he wanted me to drink all of the water inside of my water bottle. “Come on, drink. All of it.” I commanded. When he drank all of the water he began to touch his chest then he knelt down to the ground. His arms were trying to reach me forward.
“Are you alright?” I asked him.
He coughed and I saw how his eyes sparkled then glanced over me. I was crept out, it wasn’t like he was attracted to me or what.
“Does it work?” I mumbled to myself. He lay down unconscious to the ground. I gritted my teeth and started to kick his back.
“Hey, wake up, what are you doing? We need to go back to the mansion. Don’t fucking sleep there!”
I gasped when it slowly moved. The witch that I met at the church, did he give me poison? Good thing that I tested it out first to this driver before I gave it to Margaux. She might kill Elijah if that happened.
“I’m so sorry, Madame, but is this heaven?”
“What are you talking about? You’re not dead yet. I know that this could look like hell but you’re still alive.”
“I thought that I already saw an angel. Can you please marry me?”
“What?”
“I apologize, I don’t have any rights to ask you this since I’m only a low class citizen of the Crimson Moon Pack. While you are a friend of Margaux Devaraugh. But I can’t help admiring your beauty. I was just trying to say this out loud. How I was in love with your presence.”
“You know that you don’t have a chance for me right?”
“Yes, that’s right. However, if you're kind enough to put me on the list of your “werewolf that you consider dating” then I’m glad to be on that list even if I'm on the last.”
“I didn’t have that kind of list. I already have someone that I admired and it’s not you so stop it. Besides, you have a wife right?”
“Yes, I have a wife but I can leave her. She was not my type at all. You’re the one that I love! For some reason my heart was telling me that you’re the love of my life.”
“Okay, that works.”
“So you consider me now as your potential lover?”
“No, I didn’t mean that when I saw that works. You can now go to the driver seat and we need to go back to the mansion.”
“As you wish my lady.”
“Stop!”
I went inside to the vehicle then I looked at the window staring at the church. I thought that witch gave me poison. Though she’s a different witch compared to the one that I worked with before. Then a while ago before she handed me the potion I asked where was the old witch that I met before during the time that Silver Moon Pack was still on the map. She then told me that who I met was Diva.
“Diva.” We’ll meet again soon. I stared at the potion to that witch and I missed out to ask for her name. She was a bit younger, just like around my age. I was now curious on what their business was, especially the Silver Moon Pack was no longer active. But finally, this plan should work out. I might need to preserve this because I don’t know exactly when the potion will no longer affect him. I should observe this driver throughout the week and see if he was still obsessed on me.

We arrived at the mansion and as I went out to the vehicle to walk inside of the mansion. I saw the driver give me a love letter.
“It’s a poem that I wrote for you, I was writing it a moment ago. When we’re sleeping during our trip.”
“Thank you, what’s your name by the way?”
“Oh, yes. My name is Joshua”
“Okay, Joshua. Let’s see each other in a week. I have an important task for you.”
“Really? Am I considered now as your potential partner?”
“What? No. Go home now or do your task. I’ll go back to my room.”
“Thanks and I love you so much.”
I sighed and palmed my face. I went on the door then from the Margaux workshop I saw that she was busy doing some of the dresses. She then looked at my face and I gave her a smile. I also bring out the love potion bottle.
“Astrid, is that it?”
“Yes, it is Margaux and you know what happened?”
“What happened? Did the witch ask again for a favor?”
“No, she just asked for some gemstones and money. It was a lot but I don’t mind. Good thing that I did my research back then when I was in the library and I was able to ask you for some money and gems before I walked in there.”
“That sounds great. No more exchanging body parts.”
“Absolutely, anyway, I tested it on one of your drivers here.”
“Who? The one that we asked to send you there?”
“Yes, I only put a small drop of this potion in my water bottle. Then I asked him to drink all of it. Then at first I was startled when he was laying down on the ground unconscious. I was scared for a second that he would be dead because if that happened then no one would drive me home back here. So, he returned to his consciousness then he started confessing his love for me.”
Margaux started to yell and scream then covered her mouth.
“You’re so over the top with that reaction Margaux. Anyway, he began to confess his feelings also with this letter. I haven’t read it but it was like a poem.”
“He’s married and he has kids, Astrid. I felt bad for him.”
“Yes, I know he has a wife. But if we didn’t test it then we’re not sure if it would work for Elijah. So make sure that you’re the one that gives this drink to him and he drinks it because if it would be another person then Elijah wouldn’t fall in love with you. It’s critical that you don’t mess it up.”
“Alright, but how about the driver?”
“His name is Joshua, so we need to monitor if after a week he’s still in love of me. With that small drop of potion, let’s test how many days he would be under our spell.”
“It sounded like we’re witches now, Astrid.”
“No Margaux, we’re so beautiful to be considered as a witch. They’re so ugly. I swear.”
She shook her head and she chuckled a bit. Margaux began to realize that the only ally she has is me but she’s so easy to manipulate though. However, my next goal is to grow my hair and I should have Zach fall in love with me as well. I can use that love potion even if I don't have to since I know the moment that she sees my face because the last time I was wearing a hooded cloak he missed seeing my beauty.
