The Dark Prince

Chapter 2: the curse

Chapter 2

I woke up to see the prince with tired eyes sitting on my bed. "Morning." He said softly. He yawned then I yawned. "What are you doing in here?" I asked him sitting up. "Just checking on you. Making sure you didn't run away." He said calmly. "Ok well I'm hungry got anything?" I asked him poking his arm. He wore just a black shirt and black basketball shorts. His skin was cold. "Your cold." I said to him. A small smile crept onto his face. "Yeah your warm." He said quickly frowning to cover his small smile. "Ok well lets to get some food mister fancy pants." I said pulling him off the bed. "Ok."

Amber made us some pancakes and bacon. Prince ate his quickly and waited on me. I wolfed everything down and followed him into a room. It was a huge library. I raced to a shelf what was labeled romance. I loooooove a good love story. Prince watched me with a smile. He walked to a section labeled horror. "Prince come here." I said picking out a book called the color in a dull heart. "Yeah Andy?" He walked over holding a book. "Read this." I handed him the book. He looked at it with a confused look in his red eyes. "I'm not really a romance guy-" I cut him off. "After you read it you will be." I said and took his horror book from him. Hell house? Wow. "Fine ill read this book and you read that..no wait I got a better one!" He raced back to the shelf. He scanned it and pulled out a blood red book. He handed it to me.

"Bloody Mary?" I read out load. His eyes flickered and a smile slipped on his face. I looked up and he frowned. "I'll read it. But I think I already have in school." I said flipping the pages. "School?" He said puzzled. "Oh yeah that place. So are you liking your-" he stopped him self. He looked to his side. Harold, one of the staff workers, walked up behind him holding papers. He shook with fear. The prince turned and narrowed his eyes at the paper. "What is it?" He hissed his voice willed with anger. Why does he do that? He talked to me normally but he yells and hisses at people. "Sorry to disturbs you sir but your cousin wants to visit you-" the prince cut him off. "Which one?" He asked moving closer. "Gage-" Harold said but cut him self off as the prince looked down and back to me. "When.-"

"Hey cousin!" A voice yelled. The prince turned and stared at the boy who stood before him. He looked about 18. Black hair and green eyes. A scar went down his eye bow passing over his eye and to his cheek. "Hello." He mumbled. "My my who is this lovely lady?" Gage past the prince and kissed my hand. "Gage." Prince said firmly. "What I just want to know her name." He said running his fingers through his hair. "Andy." I said. Gage smiled and the prince watched him with narrowed eyes. "How long will you be here?" Prince asked hiding the book he was holding. "Andy would you mind leaving me and my cousin alone for a minute." The prince said calmly to me. I nodded and walked out. "Amber should be in the kitchen." He said. Harold closed the door. And followed me.

Prince POV

I watched her leave as Harold closed the door I turned my attention to my annoying cousin. "Why are you here?" I growled sitting down. I stared at him. His eyes stared into mine. "Because your family bud. Plus I think I might have found a cure for your curse." I widened my eyes and leaned forward. "Go on." I said. My terrible curse. I deserve it. "I have made a potion containing-" I cut him off not caring about e ingredients. "Ok does it work? Will it cure me?" I asked quickly. For 18 years I've been with this curse. Gray skin and red eyes. I don't know my natural color hair. "We must try but if it doesn't work it will have a side affect." Gage said worried. "What is e side affect?" I asked him. "Depression, anger, and suicidal." He said slowly. "Lets try."

Andy POV

I walked into the kitchen and found amber making sandwiches. "Want some help?" I asked her washing my hands. "Thank you." She smiled. "Who are these for?" I asked. "The princes cousins gage is visiting. His mother and father came alone with him. Their royal and requested 20 sandwiches." She said. Dang they must be hungry. "They must really be hungry then." I joked making a sandwich. "You should see the king." She said laughing. "It's strange how thin and muscular his son is compared to his large father." She said giggling. "Oh I see you have the hots for gage." I said. "Prince gage." She corrected blushing. "Aw that's adorable." I said to her while she blushed more. "Hello ladies." Gage said walking in. I noticed that the prince wasn't with him.

"Where's princey boy?" I asked. "He is busy right now sorry." Gage said walked to amber. "Hello there." He whispered. "You little flirt." Amber said. Gage smiled and walked over and ate a sandwich. "Gage we had 18!" I said making another sandwich. "Hey I could have eaten two." Gage said with his mouth full. "Done!" Amber said. She put a silver top over the sandwiches. "So where is he again?" I asked putting the sandwiches in the fridge. "Ugh he's in his room. Be careful though be might be... Different." Gage warned. I nodded and went to his room. I stood before his door. I knocked and stood back.
