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

like my nerves were about to explode. The funny thing was, she always had this voice when she used it I could hear it down to my spine. It was so weird and once she used it I could never say no.

I didn’t know if she knew it or if she was doing it on purpose or not, but I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she had that kind of power over me. May be it was because of the guardian thing, it gave her some kind of power over me.

“Hey handsome.” I heard a voice calling from behind me when I was by my locker, I knew it was Alex but she was late today. She had been attentive about school ever since Rebecca showed up. She went with me on every training session even if she would just sit and watch most of the time.

I turned around and before I could say anything she kissed me deeply. I was stunned but then I relaxed and kissed her back with the same amount of passion. Even though I didn’t want it to stop, but I knew not everyone was enjoying seeing us. I let go and I got a little pout from her. I could also see some people gawking at us, they couldn’t bother me though so I just ignored them.

“Come on, you know we have to go to class. And emotional manipulation is not fair. You I hate to upset you.”

“I don’t really need to go to class.” She said teasingly with her hands on my cheeks.

“But I do. It’s the one normal thing in my day right now, please don’t take that away from me.” Then I put on a puppy face.

“Alright, also emotion manipulation is not fair,” she quoted me because of the puppy face, “one condition, you need to kiss me one more time before we go.” She lifted herself up little to reach my lips.

So, I gave her a speck on her lips, “happy now?”

“Ow, no!” she acted upset,

“Ok, come here then,” I pulled her by my side and put my arm around her shoulder, “I love you,” I said, then I kissed her hair.

“I love you too.” She turned and kissed my cheek,

“Now, I’m happy.” She wrapped her arm around my waist and we went to class.

When the classes started time moved fast and I didn’t like that, because Rebecca always came for me for training which felt like torture to me. She always came during lunch and she always popped up out of nowhere.

Today was no different. Alex and I were at our usual table having lunch and Alex was messing around with me as usual. Since she didn’t care about what everybody else was thinking it wasn’t that hard for her.

I was about to hide under the table with all the things Alex was doing to me. But out of nowhere Rebecca was standing in front of the table.

“Great, she is here.” Alex said irritated.

“Right. Can we skip today? Just today.” I begged and put on a puppy expression.

“No, I’m afraid we don’t have that luxury.” Rebecca responded curtly which meant there was no more rooms for discussion on the matter.

“Come on Alex.” I took her hand and I gave mine to Rebecca. And as usual we were zapped back to the cottage ready for some training.

This time she was training me to control matter to feel the connection of the universe and the power it holds and let my body feel the movement, how everything is connected and blah, blah, blah, blah. She always said lots of nonsense which didn’t want to hear. However, I did come to find out that I really could move things with my mind. Since I was reluctant when we started this time it was like a fish getting caught in a net. There was no way I could deny any of it. Everything else before I told myself some sort of fancy excuse, so it was like more of a game than real life. This was not a joke anymore or game.

Anyways, to be able to control matter was a whole lot harder than the way I saw people do in the movies. It took me lots of strength just to move a pebble and she told me I could move a tree or this was the funniest, change the weather! ‘If I wanted to’ she said. But that was too ridiculous even to just think about it.

“Okay. Today is doing to be the last day of your mind control training.” Rebecca said a few second after we arrived the next day.

“What? But I haven’t mastered it yet.” I shouted.

“Sorry, but we don’t have much time. You’ll learn to master it as we go.”

“What are you so afraid of anyway? Because I haven’t seen anything yet, but you keep acting like there’s some sort of apocalypse coming or something.”

“Trust me. There will be if you won’t be able to defeat him.”

“What are you talking about? Who is he?”

“You need to know him right now.”

“Whatever.”

“Don’t whatever me. What I’m telling you is serious.” Her voice was strong and her look stern, on that note quickly I found myself straightening up, “Okay, let’s start.”

We took our position standing face to face with each other. And as usual I followed the procedures of connection with the universe and everything around me. Feeling the wind, the living creatures and the sun. Normally I will feel sort of chill then warmth and feel like electricity was coursing through my veins.

Then, I will start tom move something, but mostly I moved pebbles on the ground because they were the only thing that I could move. The only difference was that I could move them much more easily than when I started.

“Good Steven, now reach deeper.” Rebecca’s voice commanded deep in my mind. The first time I was freaked but now I was getting used to it.

So, I did as she told me. I reached deeper and deeper, deeper than I ever did before. My breath quickened and my heart pounded in my chest, then the ground started shaking. To me though, I couldn’t feel much, it was more of an echo and since I closed my eyes I couldn’t prove if my assumption was right or not.

I can say one thing though, the more I went deeper the more I felt like I was growing stronger and freer. It was like nothing I ever felt before. I almost felt like I was invincible,

“Good. Keep going, it is working.” She encouraged, so I pushed harder and harder, the shaking increased AMD I felt like I was in the air. I would’ve stopped but the feeling was too sensational, I kept going. I was more aware of what was going on this time, but I could hardly register it in my head. I didn’t know how much damage I was causing either.

It was until I heard Alex’s voice and instantly I knew something wasn’t right, “I think you should stop now.” Her voice was low and calm, but one of the perks of feeling people was that I could tell what they were feeling too. I could tell she was scared and worried and unsettled.

Out of instinct I opened my eyes and I was confused for a second. It was dusty all around and the whole place looked it was hit by a tornado. I turned around and saw a couple of trees leaning on the side, like they were about to fall down.

“What happened?” I asked completely perplexed.

“I think you know the answer to that question.” Rebecca said,

“No, I don’t.” I denied, I just didn’t want to believe, or want it to be true that it was me who did it.

“Okay, the simplest answer is. You close to mastering your telekinesis abilities.” She complimented with a smile.

I looked at Alex and she smiled at me. I couldn’t say anything, I just stood there and looked around like an idiot.

“Ok, that’s one part. There’s several more to go, tomorrow we start physical training.”

“Okay.” If there was one thing I learned from Rebecca was that she never changed her mind.

Arguing with her whether I should take a break tomorrow or not seemed pointless because she was going to refuse anyway.

She zapped us back to school and she disappeared as usual. One funny thing, with all the abilities that I have I still couldn’t understand how she did it, the zapping or whooshing or whatever it’s called.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 50;

 

Alex was quiet again. As we walked towards my car she looked straight forward like she was avoiding to look at me. I wanted to ask her what was wrong but I already knew what was wrong, so I decided against it. But then again on the long run we would have to talk about it, better now than later. I started the conversation,

“You are quiet. I’m sorry I freaked you out, it wasn’t my intention.”

“Freak me out doesn’t even cut it Steven. What you did was impossible! That’s the stuff in the movies, not in front of your eyes.” She tried to keep her voice low but it still sounded like she wanted to scream.

“Was it that bad?”

“You should have seen it. You created a tornado out of nowhere. It was scary, but it was also amazing.”

 

So, what are you afraid of if you thought it was amazing?”

“Because now I know you have a responsibility and you are going to leave and fight monsters with that girl Rebecca.”

“You are worried I’m going to leave you here. Alex, I don’t think I will find any girl like you, ever. So I’m not going to let you go. Besides, Rebecca can’t tell me what to do.”

“Actually, I’ve seen her couple times telling you what to do. I think she can.”

“Okay, may be a little.” I paused then pulled her closer in my embrace, “but I’m not going anywhere without you. You are my anchor.”

“Mh, am I now?” she said with a big smile on her face and lifted herself to kiss me but we were interrupted.

“Hey guys.” That was Ashley, just came from the gym.

“Hey,” I said,

“Hi Ashley.” Alex turned around because she was facing as I was leaning on my car and Ashley was coming from behind her. “I gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow.” Then she left,

“Okay!” I was surprised with the sudden rush but she was already gone, I couldn’t ask her what the rush is.

“Shall we?” Ashley asked pointing at the car door that was behind me.

I opened it for her and I we t on the driver’s side and moments later we were on our way home.

“Physical training we’ll do several things; body strength, combat and tactics of fighting.” Rebecca said after we met the following day and I was ready for physical training.

“Ok, that sounds easy enough.” I said proudly. I was feeling quite good since I had a nice sleep and now that I managed my mind control I could block most of the visions that were tormenting me.

“We will see about that.” Rebecca said like it was a challenge or something.

“You know, I used to work out before. This isn’t something I don’t know.” But man! Was I wrong to
