HAUNTED PRINCE by DENIS DANIEL (uplifting books for women .TXT) 📖

to me too. And even though he knew everything about me he didn’t bother showing his face to me.

After that I had train some more and try to learn some new tricks. Rebecca was harsh as she always was, but I didn’t complain this time. She pushed and I followed until I was completely exhausted.

I went home the day before we were going to meet with Alex family super tired. I didn’t know if I was going to wake up the next day. But I was awake earlier than I expected. I was awaken by a nightmare or was it just a dream.

I went back to that place again and saw all these creatures, some were beautiful and some were hideous. The things is I didn’t even know what that place was.

Then the morning came and this was the day we were going to make final plans. I was nervous because this will make things even more real. This proved that days were becoming fewer and fewer and at the end I would have to face Profillius.

I didn’t have to lie to Ashley anymore and that felt good. So, even my plans to meet with Alex family wasn’t a problem, she told me even if mom came home early she would come up with something.

“Okay, we have everything planned.” Alex father told us once we all arrived.

“Let’s hear it.” Rebecca blurted,

“My team will go with you there.” He said and I almost cheered,

But Rebecca had different understanding in her head, “did you hear what I just said the first time.” Her voice intense,

“Hey, calm down. I didn’t finish.” He voice was raised too, “we know he is powerful and all but he is also not stupid. We know he is going to have security and some creatures Alex told me about. You can’t fight all of them.”

“So, what are you suggesting?” Rebecca asked more calmly.

I didn’t say anything because I had no idea on how to fight evil or any kind of gang for that matter. I left it to the professionals. The only thing that I wanted was for all this madness to be over.

“Our job won’t be to face him, that’s your job. Our part will be to clear the path and leave him for you. After that we will be gone, we are leaving this town to a different place with more need. I think after this Profillius is taken care of this town will finally be at peace.”

I looked at Alex and she looked at her feet. I was shocked, she didn’t tell me she was leaving town. But before her father could detect the shock from my face I composed myself. I still had a week so I thought there will be enough time to ask her properly. After what her father said I didn’t hear much of what they kept blubbering about. Nevertheless, I heard the conclusion.

“That sounds good, I think it will work.” Rebecca agreed.

“Alright, get ready we’ll meet on the other side of town on Friday at 2300. Don’t be late,”

“Why so late?” I naïvely asked.

“Because a day starts and end at 12:00 in the midnight and that is the time they will meet.” Rebecca explained.

“Alright.” That’s all I could say.

The only thing that was left was counting down the days. And it was because I couldn’t see Alex and the day we met her father refused to let her escort us. He said there was some things he needed the whole family involved. Even two days later she was still busy and I was getting desperate.

My sleeps weren’t very nice either. I had to go back to the bathtub. I had visions of someone tall with pointy ears and dark brown skin and eyes. I had no idea if that was Profillius but if I were to guess I would’ve said that was him.

The bathtub helped me decrease the visions of places and strangers I kept seeing. Also, that is the secret I couldn’t tell Ashley because it was going to make her super freaked. I knew she tried to be cool with everything else, but I also knew she wouldn’t just sit back and watch me sleep in the bathtub. I knew she would try and find some kind of solution. It was better for her not to know about it.

By the third day I was taken with Rebecca and couple Alex uncles to get intense training so that I could be ready. The uncles were her giant uncle called Bob and two others. Also Iris played part at training my mind so that Profillius won’t invade my mind in case he tried. And I was good at it.

The uncles however, that was a different story entirely. They kicked my ass pretty good at first, because I didn’t know how to fight a bunch of people, and that was the challenge. But at the end Rebecca gave me a hint on how to use their energy flow against them even if I was blind fold.

The good thing was that I improved a lot from the time I started. After that day we trained a little bit more to make sure there was nothing left to cover.

“Hey,” Alex called me when I was sitting at the porch of the cabin in the woods. I’d just finished training and the next day I was going to face my greatest fear.”

“Hey.” I replied,

“Don’t worry we are going to face this Profillius.” She encouraged me then she sat next to me and caressed my back,

“I don’t know Alex. I’ve never seen him, and even Rebecca has never been able to defeat him. How can I be so sure that I can?”

“How he looks like doesn’t matter. This is a monster and he must be stopped and you will because I believe in you.”

“Thanks, I needed that. Let’s go get this monster and finish this torture.”

“And that is exactly what I wanted to hear.”

I sat there quietly half scared half hopeful that maybe I might actually be able to defeat him. After a while we went home with Alex holding my hand on the way back to my car, and that made me feel not too alone as I was feeling before. Ashley told me she will ask one of her friends to take her home.

So I was practically free to go straight home. I stood by my car after a long day of training in the woods. I leaned on it and wrapped Alex around my arms and for a second I really looked at her. At that moment I remembered something and I couldn’t believe it took me so long to ask her. Just like she read my mind or something her body became stiff. But we were both too busy preparing for this battle so much that we didn’t have time.

“Look Steven, I know what you want to ask about but there is nothing we can do about it.” She said sadly.

“What are you talking about? You are leaving and you didn’t even want to tell me.” I was sadder than I was angry.

“I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t, it was too hard. You have no idea how much I want to be with you. But my dad needs me.” Tears were starting to gather in her eyes.

“Hey, look. I understand I just wish you told me earlier. Anyways, it will be safer for you to be far away from here.” I cupped her cheeks with my hands, “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”

“You know I can take care of myself.” She looked at me seriously,

“I know, but I will more at peace if I knew you are safe.”

“Okay,”

“So this is our last day, huh?”

“I guess.” She got closer, so that her body was pressed against me.

“What are you doing?”

“You’ll see.” She began to kiss my lips then my cheeks and down to my neck and my earlobe. Then her hands traced down slowly from my chest and to my stomach, a moan escaped my mouth. Then, very slowly her hand caressed my pants.

“That feels nice.” My voice almost ran out.

I couldn’t stop myself I cupped her face and kissed her fiercely. I didn’t care if we were in middle of the road. I know it was crazy but I deserved one moment of distraction. So I tuned everything out and just let myself enjoy the moment.

It started very slowly and smoothly but the speed and the feeling intensified. And as the heat increased my mind was completely blank now, all I could think about was her and her only. I opened the back door of the car and I lied on the seat then she came on top of me. She ground on me which pushed me over the edge and I couldn’t stop myself from moaning out loud. As if she knew exactly what to do and make me lose control, she crushed her lips on me and kissed me deeply. I couldn’t wait any longer I grabbed her waist and wanted to turn her over but almost fell down from the seat which made us laugh from my clumsiness. That didn’t last long though, I lied her down then I started to unbutton my shirt quicker than I ever did before.

“Guys, you are in the middle of the road.” Someone said from behind me. And what worse we left the door open. I whipped my head around so fast my neck hurt.

Somehow I didn’t feel so bad seeing it was just Iris. I put my shirt back on and Alex wore her tank top.

“What are you doing here?” she asked with a little hint of venom in her voice,

“Hey, calm down.” Iris said with a raised eyebrow like this was a different Alex talking, “uncle was looking for you and I offered to get you. You are welcome by the way I don’t think anyone else would’ve taken this scenario very lightly.”

“Ok, fine. I’m sorry, I thought it was one of your snooping around episode.”

“Hey, I don’t snoop around.” Iris complained and seemed a little embarrassed in front of me.

“Yes, you do and it is super annoying. Anyways, let’s go already.”

I don’t know why but Iris somehow seemed super shy because of what Alex said. Maybe she thought I would judge her, while on the contrary I wasn’t surprised she would do something like that.

Alex came towards after we were all ready to go on our separate ways and she kissed me several times, “I love you. I’m going to miss you.” She finally said and once again her eyes were filled with tears.

I kissed her again with as much passion as I could offer, “I love you too. When all this is over I’m gonna find you.”

She looked at me in the eyes and a couple tears betrayed her, they fell down her cheeks. But before I could wipe them away she hugged me tightly and all over sudden she turned and left with Iris.

My heart tightened and for a second I felt like I was suffocating from inside out. I had no idea I fell so fast and deep for that girl. I got inside the car and headed home myself.

I kept thinking about Alex and wondered how things had changed in couple months. When I met her there was nothing I wanted more than push her away and for her to leave me alone. But now I couldn’t let her go and I was willing to find her anywhere she might go. Now I was glad I met her and the fact is that she accepted me for who I am without judging me like everyone else. How could I let her go? As far as I knew I would never meet someone like her again.

There are very few secrets in a small town and mine was no different. Mom already knew I had a girlfriend, since I was famous even though not in a good way. Still people talked about
