Chapter 2 - the princess

Alexander Darrell was transferred to the school . He never expected to draw that much attention. He knew girls do swoon over him but not like this, as he was trying to make way to pass the crowd of girls most especially surrounding him, a scent caught his attention he looked around and there she stood looking so beautiful with her black hair hair that seemed to be fluttering with the wind her scent alluring. she seemed mesmerized snd suddenly he felt proud .he started feeling the urge to bite something, but not that kind of bite when you hunt down a prey. he looked away cause if he didn't he knew something in him was clawing to break away and he couldn't let it not now ,not yet.

he entered the school, When he heard there was chemistry class he got interested and decided to enter but only two seats were empty at the front row, he sat down .the girls were all giggling looking at him just then the lecturer entered .it didn't last a minute then the one girl that made his heart flutter and his whole body shiver walked in she apologized for coming late ,' and man was her voice beautiful it was heavenly',he thought almost swooning at her.

She looked around to know if there were any empty seats but only the one next to him was empty .

'Oh no !', he thought

When she sat down he could feel that urge again this time more fierce 'she mine', he almost growled he tried so hard to calm down ,he was almost calm but breeze pulled her hair and it grazed his face he nearly went mad. he covered his nose ,cause her scent wasn't making it any easier for him . He noticed she was looking at him with the corners of her eyes and she sniffed herself secretly .

'Oh so great, she must think she smells now please calm down', he told himself

When Alexander saw there was no way for him to calm down while sitting so close to her ,he could feel his teeth almost growing out .

'No! no! not now', he thought and stood up excused himself and left .

Claire was confused as to what happened

Is it that he detests staying close to me or I smell , she thought as sniffed herself again buts she doesn't. She was a little hurt by what he did ,not a little it practically affected her alot making her not to understand anything the chemistry lecturer taught. luckily ,she turned on her phone recorder. Claire was so disturbed and it's more frustrating that she doesn't know why . She decided to go the library because that's the only place she could clear her mind .

When she reached the library, the librarian greeted her as usual. she went to the top most shelf because she had read all the books in the down shelf.

As she was looking a particular book caught her eyes, 'has that book always been there', she thought as she grabbed it

The book has a lock and a ruby at the middle.' this book must be interesting',she thought coming down to relax and read it her hands already itching to open it surprisingly the lock opened easily the first page says ....

"My name is Andrea the crown princess of alvasta kingdom located at the north of alvania . My mother is the queen but my father I don't know him yet see you speak to you more ".

Claire turned the next page wondering what the diary of a princess from a kingdom she hasn't heard of doing in their school library and how come she has never noticed the book before.she decided to keep on reading .the next one says....

" My mom got this book for me when I turned 20 because, when I turned 18 I have this problem where I see things or more like people in black cloaks I don't know if they are living beings or dead I have complained to my mom many times but she always brushes it off as me being paranoid. it started getting my brains she had to get me this book to write down everything as it's happening to me .
