The Hell Princess Diaries

Chapter 9 - edited

**Picture is of Liviana's dress for the dinner with the witch.**

After my grandmother left, I said good night to my father and went to my room. I wasn't sure if Random was going to still come to my room or not so I got in the shower and changed into my sleep wear which consist of silk black pants and a light blue tank top. I'm putting my hair into a braid when I hear a soft knock on my door.

"Come in." I call our softly. My door opens to reveal Ransom in his sleep wear, black sweats and a white wife beater. "Hi." I say a little breathless. I didn't think he would still come.

He grins a if he knows the effect he has on me, he probably does. "Hi, Liv." He says in his low voice.

I clear my throat and move to the edge of my bed to get the present that is wrapped in red wrapping paper and a black bow that is under my bed. Once I have it I walk over to him and hand it to him.

"Happy birthday, Ransom. I hope you like it." I say with a growing smile.

He looks at the clock on my nightstand and shakes his head, "We still have four minutes. I wont open it until then." I look at my clock in shock, I hadn't realized it was so late.

"Here." He says and reaches into his pocket for a small blue box with a white bow on it. "This is your present from me. I hope you like it."

"Whatever it is I will love it." I say with a smile.

He smirks at me. "Even if I was a frog?" I cringe, I hate frogs.

"Anything but a frog." I say with a grimace.

"Well you're in lucky, princess, this isn't a frog." He says with a laugh.

"Thank Satan." I reply with relief.

Now we only have one minute until it turns to twelve o'clock. We count down the seconds together.

10.

I smile because I am almost an official adult.

9.

I look at Ransom to see him smiling right along with me.

8.

Ransom grabs me by my waist gently, and pulls me close, up against his chest.

7.

I look at him in confusion and furrow my eyebrows.

6.

He lowers his lips to mine. And I know what he is going to do.

5.

His lips gently graze mine. Very softly, as if to see if I pull away.

4.

My eyes slowly close and so do his. He pulls me in tighter.

3.

His lips press slightly harder, more demanding.

2.

I start to panic. What am I doing? This isnt right! If my father finds out were both dead!

1.

Time stops. Literally. I just froze time. Five seconds go by. I don't move at all and still have Ransom's lips against mine. I calm down a little bit and time starts again.

0.

Ransom pulls away and smiles. "Happy birthday, Liviana." Ransom says gazing into my eyes as if nothing happened. As if time didn't just stop. What the hell just happened? Then it hits me. I just turned 18. I got my first power. I can freeze time. And I just froze Ransom.

All I can do is repeat his words, "Happy birthday, Ransom." I say slowly. Finally coming to my senses. I'm 18 now. And I have powers. And I just had my first kiss, even if I did end up freezing him. Wow, did that really all just happen in ten seconds? I guess I did. I'm officially an adult. And I'm officially a witch.
