My Dark Prince

Chap 2

"Sashaaaaa....."

"Who's there?"

"Sashaaaaa....."

"WHO'S THERE?!"

I stared at the dark abyss of enveloping darkness before me. Where was I? And who was calling me? Maybe this was hell. Maybe I died in my sleep. And maybe that was the Devil calling me, to torture me. I was cold. So cold. The chilly wind was pricking my bare skin like needles. Wait.......why was there wind? There shouldn't be wind in hell. Dammit it shouldn't be so fucking cold! Hello! Wasn't I supposed to be burning like crazy??

But then I saw something. The darkness around me moved. Its worm-like tendrils began to part. Revealing something shiny. It was moving and foaming. I blinked. Hey that was water! I blinked again. I was looking at a huge body of sparkling water rise up and down and crash on the glistening shore not far away from me. It was so beautiful. I looked down to see my bare feet being caressed by soft swaying green grass. It took me awhile to fully take in the place. I was standing on a valley overlooking the sea. Why was I here? Standing in nothing but my flimsy nightgown? Weird. No wonder I was freezing. Hey I get it. This is a dream. Ha! Nothing to worry about.

"Sashaaaa......."

That voice. It intrigued me.

"Come to me....my love"

Whoa! Where did that come from? I looked up at the black sky studded with diamonds. Can a place so beautiful ever exist? I started walking towards the shore.

"SASHA! YOU GET UP RIGHT NOW!"

K I did not love that voice! Infact I hated it! But it couldn't be! How did she find me? Here?! This was MY dream for crying out loud!

"GET UP YOU LAZY PIECE OF WORK! NOW!!!"

I felt a hard blow on my face. Then I hit something hard. I opened my eyes to see my step sister Lucy towering over me. I was lying on my bedroom floor.

"You bitch!", I yelled.

"You're late for school shithead. Get going. NOW.", Lucy smirked.

I don't take shit from anybody. Not even from my so called sister. I lifted my right leg and hurled it upwards with full force. In a split second Lucy fell to the ground clutching her crotch and yelling in agony. What? No one said you can't kick gals in the crotch. Its almost as fun as kicking a guy in the balls. And judging from the kind of freakshow Lucy was, with a huge red tangled mop on her head and ponch and buck teeth sticking out, I wouldn't be surprised if she DID have balls.

I walked to school thinking about my dream and that lovely voice. I have to admit I was kinda freaking out. So I tried thinking of something else. Karen was going to give me hell for that whole Lucy thing. But that made me smile. I was wearing my usual attire. Black jeans, black t-shirt, black sneakers. Oh yeah and tons of black stuff around my eyes. Alice always said I looked like a hippie or something. And that I would find a boyfriend that way. But I gave up on love a long time ago. So what was the point? People who messed with me got black eyes or broken jaws to reward their oh-so-kind insults.

I walked to my first class and then froze. There he was. Leaning against the class door. Beautiful black hair. Gorgeous tan. Lean muscular body. Every teenage girl's dream. And nightmare. Well for me anyway. He was chatting with his usual jerks when his eyes caught mine. I tried to look nonchalant. And besides straining myself not to, I smiled at him. His lips just pulled up sideways in a sarcastic grin. He turned and pulled Rebecca who was standing nearby into his arms. I could almost hear my heart cracking as he kissed her cheek.

"Oh Ray stop it! You bad boy!", Rebecca squealed and faked pulling away.

"Oh yes I'm bad girl. But you're still mine", Ray said pulling her even closer in an embrace which blocked my way into class. His friends giggled as they saw my red face. I cleared my throat.
