The Dark Prince

Chapter 3: the result

Chapter 3

No response. I opened the door slowly and peeked inside. It was dark except the window door leading to his balcony. I walked quickly through his room to the balcony. I opened the balcony door and saw the prince hanging his feet down and sitting in the ground. His eyes were lost in his thoughts. He didn't noticed me. His skin was a lighter shade of gray. Like he was pale. His hair was a mess it looked like he just woke up. His eyes looked tired and stared at nothing. "Prince?" I said softly. I crouched next to him and shook his shoulder lightly. "Yeah." He mumbled lost in his own world. "Are you ok?" I asked sitting next to him. "No." He said looking down.

"What's wrong." I moved closer and looked at him. His eyes were full of sadness. "We tried to cure me and it failed...." He got up and walked inside. "Prince." I grabbed onto his foot. "Yes." He turned and looked down at me. "Tell me what your feeling." I said getting up. He turned but I put my hands on his shoulders. I turned him around to face me. "Tell me." I said to him. He looked down. I moved my hand and pulled his chin up softly. "Please." I whispered. He sighed and took my hand off his chin. "Gage had come up with a cure for my curse."

"Ok you might feel a pinch on your arm." The doctor said. I felt someone stick my arm with a shot. Burning liquid shot through my veins. I bit my lip to hold in the pain. "Now we have to do another on this arm." The doctor said and shot me again. I whimpered in pain. The burning liquid moved into my body all over. "It burns!" I cried out squeezing my eyes shut. I opened my eyes and saw gage covering his mouth. "I'm so sorry." He mouthed. I nodded and felt a fresh new wave of pain. "We need you to turn over onto your stomach." The doctor said. I flipped over. They cut off my shirt. I felt needles enter my back and more burning liquid in my back. There was a five needles every inch.

They pulled out the needles and poured rubbing alcohol. It burned even more. I cried out in pain again. I felt my eyes watering up. They put a new shirt on me and bandages up my wounds. "It should take affect within an hour. Until then go rest." The doctor said and gage helped me walk to my room. I collapsed on my bed as the burning liquid reached my heart. Or my black hole as some call. "Gage make it stop!" I cried out holding my chest. "I'm so sorry I can't do anything until it takes affect. I'm afraid this will all be for a lost cause. Maybe the only cure is for you to-" I cut him off. "Don't you dare say that! There has to be another way! No one will ever love someone like me. I'm a monster." I said to him as another wave of pain came over me.

"I must go." He said. "Fine ill be here then." I groaned. He slowly got up and turned around at the door. "You never know." He said and left. I got up and went to the balcony. I looked at Andy's door leading to it. She wasn't in there. I sat down and stared at the sky turning into a sunset. My mind started becoming duller. I only realized it when I thought of how pathetic I am. Anger filled me wanted to kill everyone then I only wanted death to come. I went to my bed and drifted into a painful sleep only to be waken by another pain wave. I turned off every light and wandered back to the balcony. I sat down and stared at the distance becoming lost.

Andy POV

As he finished telling me he put his head in his hands. I hugged him trying to comfort him. He moved and hugged me back. His head was resting on my collarbone. I rubbed his back and he breathed in deeply. "I'm sorry." He said moving away. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Do you want me to stay?" I asked him holding his burning hand. He shook his head. "I don't want to bother you. I just need some time alone." He said. I didn't want to leave but since he said so I stood up. He got up and turned me around. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped mine around his neck. "Thank you." He said in my ear.

He let me go unwillingly but he sighed and turned on his tv and sat on his bed. I looked at him one last time before leaving. I smiled a little as he caught my glance. I left and closed the door quietly. Harold stood before me and startled me. "God you scared me. How long have you been standing there!" I said. Walking to my room. "Long enough to see you getting cozy with the prince." He said. He smiled while I punched his arm. He shook his head shaking his brown hair. "Oh come on look at you two! You like him don't you!" He said really loud. "I've only known him for a day and he's in a bad stage right now I was just comforting him you prick." I said and opened my door. "Well if you did you would break his curse." I froze in my tracks. "What is his curse?" I asked him 'you don't know?" He asked surprised and walked in.

I shook my head and sat on my bed. "I'll explain." Harold sad sitting on the bench on the end of my bed. "Before the prince was born. His father was at war with snake witches. After many battles only a few remained. Two that survived are sisters. Alice and Melissa. They wanted revenge on the kings and came up with cursing his son. One day the queen became pregnant. They protected her at all costs. On the night he was born they laid him his cradle with a guard standing next to him. He was born with black hair, soft warm skin and blue eyes. The witches creeped side as snakes. The guard yelled but was choked and watched as one cursed the prince. 'Make his skin as dark as night and turn his hair into a blinding white. His eyes red with blood and make him evil and a cursive one. The only way to save this child is for the one who is sweet and kind to fall for his smile.' The witches left thinking the guard had died.

He yelled and called for help and looked at the gray baby before him. His eyes red, his hair white. His mother cried and hugged him as he cried. The next day to king went out to kill the snake witches but failed. He died in battle and was buried the next day. The entire viable attended. The queen ruled until the prince turned 14 then she wandered off in depression and never returned. The prince was no longer the kid he used to be now he's angry and hates everyone...until you came along I think he likes you." Harold explained to me. I kept thinking about it. His father dead mother gone all alone with this curse and no one cared to befriend him. No one to lean on when he's sad or needed comfort. I got up and went to his room. He was asleep on his bed.

I sat down next to him and ran my fingers though his hair. He curled up and smiled. He moved an put his head in my lap. I continued running my fingers though his soft long hair. I laid down and moved his head to my stomach. He mumbled and moved around. He moved up and wrapped his arms around me. His head was next to mine. He pulled me close to him and relaxed. I just laid there with my arms pulled to my chest. I looked at his face. His gray skin made him look mean but when he's sleeps he looked younger and kind. I touched his cheek and rubbed my thumb against his soft skin. I relaxed and closed my eyes. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt him smile against my arm. Feeling safe and secure I fell asleep within minuets.
