The Love Plague

Love is complicated. It’s something that takes time and patience to cultivate. Something that needs to be earned. To the young witch Jessica White, love is something that can and should be acquired using magic. Deeply infatuated with Robin heath, captain of her college football team and known playboy, Jessica sets out to turn him into her idealized boyfriend. With the help of her friend Felix, she devises a love spell that will turn Robin into everything she wants him to be. While everything seems to go fine at first, a problem quickly appears: the spell can spread to other people. What starts as a dream come true turns into a nightmare as the spell runs out of control like a plague, turning all those infected into Jessica’s mindless, lovestruck servants. The Love Plague is written by Alex Miller, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 43: More than magic

*Felix*

“It’s not going to work, Jessica,” I told her, trying to keep my growing frustration out of my voice. “Your theory doesn’t have any backing. There’s no reason for you to think that I’m the solution to fix what your love spell is doing.”

“It makes perfect sense, Felix,” Jessica tried to insist. “You’re the only one the spell isn’t affecting.”

“Yes, and there’s a reason for that, Jessica,” I reminded her. “It’s not like I have a natural immunity to the spell. I’m not the key to some magic vaccine that we can use to cure everyone.”

“Nobody needs to be cured, Felix. Nobody needs a vaccine,” Jessica reminded me. “It’s not a disease.”

“It might as well be,” I retorted.

Jessica gave me a strange look and walked around the desk toward me. “I don’t understand why this is bothering you so much, Felix,” she told me, sounding just as confused as she looked. “What’s wrong with the idea that you might be the solution?”
