HAUNTED PRINCE by DENIS DANIEL (children's ebooks free online txt) 📕

think she was accusing me and parents? I was actually furious. And a good thing Alex didn’t try to tell me to calm down.

“You better be careful with what you are saying. You don’t know anything about me. So don’t come accusing about things you don’t know. You know what, stay out of my life and I will stay out of yours. Don’t look for me, I don’t want to do something I will regret.” I was so pissed I felt like I was going to explode.

Everyone was looking at me at the cafeteria some were amused, some worried and some just curious. I didn’t care though I just stomped out and went straight to the parking lot. I got in my car and locked myself in.

Who did she think she was? Accusing my parents out of nowhere. I was so angry I hit my steering while couple times. I didn’t know why thinking about my parents hurt so much despite not knowing a single thing about them. I mean I never knew them but that didn’t stop me from missing them. Missing two strangers that brought me to the world.

I never thought about them, I didn’t see the point on thinking about people who practically never existed. I just knew they died in a car accident and I couldn’t find anything else. Mom never liked to talk about them either; the topic made her a little bit upset and I never wanted to upset her. But it still seemed like everything about them was erased. My life was the only proof that they actually existed.

I had to calm down because getting myself worked up with things I couldn’t fix or solve wouldn’t help me. Besides I already had a family; a home, mom and Ashely.

When I thought about mom and Ashley it helped me calm down. They were the only people who would never leave me or judge me. I rested my head at the back at the back of my seat.

But in a weirdest way I fell asleep or rather drifted into another place, I didn’t know which is which. I found myself walking in the middle of a big city, but this wasn’t like New York or Las Vegas kind of city. It was different, it was more like Roman Empire kind of city except with more glitters and fancier shining buildings.

The funny thing was that with all the fanciness people were still riding horses but unusual horses I might add. They were bigger with longer ears and hairs and people traveled in chariots. From the look of it one thing was for sure these weren’t humans, some were too big for a human, and some were definitely aliens who looked a lot like the elves I read in the books. But, something surprised me even more I saw something which looked a lot like a fairy and it seemed to see me unlike everyone else. It was small and it flew around me but I just stared not knowing what it wanted to do with me.

Yet, again I was zapped to another place and this time I was in a street of a big city, I didn’t know which city. For a second I didn’t know why I was there until I sensed quiet unusual. A person passed by me and I felt chills run through my body. This person was super cold and not just his body. Down to his core, it was simply empty. He didn’t send any kind of energy out of his body he was like a cold stone. I started following him as my curiosity was picked. But suddenly I was yanked with someone. I opened my eyes like waking from a sleep, but didn’t feel like that when I was being pulled away.

“Hey, I almost thought you are dead. What’s going on with you?” Ashley asked.

“Ow!” I touched my right cheek, it stung.

“Yah, I even slapped you.”

“Why would you do that?”

“I’ve been trying to wake you up for the past two minutes and you won’t wake up.” Suddenly she paused and the expression on her face changed from irritated to worried, “are you okay? Did you pass out? Do we need to go to the hospital?” she was starting to panic.

“I’m fine Ashley. There is no need to panic. Buckle up and lets go home.”

I woke up feeling foggy and exhausted. All these visions of me being in different places were draining me and they weren’t stopping. I got off the bed and went to take my shower. Sleeping in the bathtub wasn’t helping anymore I’d see them anyway. It only made it worse because I saw more visions when I was relaxed. The shower was quick and I got myself ready for school and finish up the homework I did half last night.

I finished it and then Ashley came in, I grabbed my bag then we went downstairs together to have breakfast. Soon after we were heading to school. I didn’t know what people were going to say about yesterday. But I was hoping it wasn’t something which would make me look bad again. Even though it wasn’t guaranteed but I hoped.

When I parked my car at my usual spot I saw Alex waiting for me a couple feet away. Ashley waved at her and left. When I got to her if it weren’t for the worry that something might happen to her I would’ve kissed her right there. I missed her kisses, they were kind of addictive. And I was a little upset we didn’t spend that much time together yesterday. The time had was too short for me even including the time she called and asked if I was okay when I arrived home. I told her I was okay, which was partly true.

“You look like you stayed up all night.” She commented,

“I feel like I did.” I admitted,

“What does that supposed to mean?”

“It means I slept but I didn’t actually sleep.”

“It’s the vision thing, huh?” she said sadly, “maybe that new girl can actually help you out. I think she knows more about you than we think.”

“No, I don’t want to see her again. And I won’t change my mind.”

“Even if I kiss you right here, right now in front of all these people?” she threatened while getting closer sandwiching me between her and my locker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 46;

 

“Hey, cut it out. That’s not funny.” I was serious and that made her sly smile go away, “you know there is someone out there watching me. If something happens to you too I will never forgive myself.”

She looked at me for a while, then she said, “Fine, but I still think you should talk to that girl. Can you stop being stubborn for once in your life.” She was practically pleading,

“Okay, I’ll give her one chance and one chance only. If she piss me off again I’m done.”

Then the bell rang and we headed to class. Mrs. McLaughlin was just starting her lesson. We had our chairs and join the class. I took my text book opened the page then I heard people murmuring about me at the back. Too bad my hearing was a little better than before. They another freak came in town and I didn’t like her that’s why I yelled at her yesterday. I looked back at the girls and quickly they stopped talking. It was good having Alex around since she always knew how to make me feel at ease. Probably that’s the reason I liked her.

When I wasn’t stressed it was easier for me to pay attention in class. And before I knew it we were walking to the cafeteria at lunch time. We got our lunch plates and headed to our table. Even though people were always acting weird around me but today especially were acting very weird. Today they were paying attention to what I was actually doing while other days I was invincible to them.

And it got worse when the new girl showed up and came to our table. I noticed, she just appeared in the cafeteria which made her even more suspicious. Many people were waiting to see what will happen next.

“Hi,” she greeted.

“Hi,” I responded curtly.

“I’m sorry about yesterday. It wasn’t my intention to upset you. And I never knew you were adopted. I thought since you were here I guessed. Never mind.” Then she paused a little and for a fraction of a second she seemed confused but it vanished right away, “what I wanted to tell you is that, it is time.” She finished expecting me to understand something.

“Time for what?” I asked not knowing what she was referring to.

“Are you kidding?” she was angry now, “come with me, right now.” She yanked my hand and pulled me off the table. Damn! She was so powerful I couldn’t stop her even if I wanted to. I was annoyed though, she always caused drama whenever she came around.

Alex came rushing behind us and everyone was watching my little show, some were amused but most were annoyed. It was under circumstances like this that I hated my life.

I gave people reasons to talk about me and I really hated that. And this girl was not normal, her grasp was that of steel I couldn’t free my hand. As a result I made a scene through the whole campus until we got to the parking lot.

“I really hate you right now.” I said through grinded teeth, but she didn’t care.

“What I’m about to tell you is more important than what you feel about me.”

Alex finally reached us while panting a little, “what the hell is going on?” she asked not very happy either.

“Ask her. I told you this girl is crazy.”

“Call me whatever you want but I’m the only person who can help you.”

“Sorry can’t buy that. I already heard that before and it only made things worse.” I looked at Alex who was feeling a little bit ashamed, “it is okay Alex. It wasn’t a total waste.”

“You need me Steven.” She insisted.

“And why is that?” I asked her curiously.

“Because I know who you are.”

“And that is where you are wrong.”

“I know you can phase to another world. I also know that is the reason you get the visions.”

“How did you know that?” I asked in panic.

“Give me the chance to tell you who I am and I you’ll know.”

“Okay, who are you?” Alex asked out of nowhere.

“My name is Rebeca and I’m his guardian.” She said calmly, while I thought it was a joke.

“My guardian.” I laughed a full belly laugh.

But neither Alex nor Rebecca, if that was her really name anyway, laughed along with me, “Oh, you are serious, and you” I pointed at Alex, “Believe her?”

“I guess your handler never told you anything about your origin.” Rebecca said sadly.

“She is my mother, not my handler.”

“Okay, nevertheless you don’t have much time. He is coming. You have to be ready when he gets here.”

“When who gets here?” I asked getting confused more and more each second.

“You’ll know later go home for now.”

She headed the other direction to the exit but Alex and I headed to the other side of the parking lot to get my car. I never really bothered with my
