The Curse Of The Forest

Chapter 12: Beautiful Troll

A/N - Just in case you wanted to see him again ;)

[Aljin's P.O.V]

She stared at me for a while, until I thought she was going to burn a hole through me. I tilted my head a little and then she blinked at me and smiled broadly. I smiled back, and then she put her hand out, came a step closer and placed it on my chest. Her fingers slowly traced their way down my upper torso towards my abs. I guess I should've wore my shirt ;)

Then she looked up at me and asked,
'Are you real?' In the faintest voice.

'I think so,' I responded, putting my hand over hers and giving it back to her. Her eyes sparkling in this dim light.
'Who are you..?' Jacki asked, finally waking up from her trance.

'My name is Aljin, and I am a Troll prince.' I answered, sounding way cooler then the many times I had practised that line.

'But..you're not a Troll.' Said Jacki, confused.
'I know, I'm not right now and that's because I am cursed'. I said, moving back a little to check if the path was clear.

'Is it ok if we talk somewhere else, no one should know that you are here.' I said quickly, and then I held her hand when she nodded, to take her.

'Where are we going?' She asked.
'Somewhere safe Jacki'. I replied.

'Wait, how do you know my name?' Jacki asked surprised, and then I realised, she didn't actually know anything about me. So I replied,

'Wild guess!' Then she smiled at me.

I took her down the quiet paths, even though mostly everyone should be asleep by now, but you never know there might be that odd Troll who would tell everyone of her presence. I led her to a door that said 'Klistan Mak'.
It meant Cursed One, but I wasn't going to tell that to Jacki though.
