Chapter two: His world
Anthony was sitting on his bed, playing with the little golden ring in his hands. He loved Raven more than anything and he couldn't stop thinking about her pretty smile and the way she made him feel. He was so in love with her and the only think he could think of was about the kiss she gave him that morning. The time stopped for a moment while they were together.
-Oh Raven! I love you more than anything but you know we can't be together. What will we do?? –He was so focused thinking about her that he didn't notice someone listening on the other side of the door.
-Should I escape with you? Take you away from your terrible father and get married? Live with you forever??
He stood up and went downstairs for starting his home works.
First he went to the kitchen. He needed to help Maurice, the chef of the house, with the dinner for that night.
-Good morning Anthony!
-Good morning Maurice! How are you doing??
-Great kid. And how are you doing?
-Today is the happiest day of my life Maurice!-Maurice was Anthony's great friend and counselor. He was the only one who knew about his relationship with Raven. –She kissed me! She kissed me!! Finally after all this time! I finally know how she feels about me and she feels exactly the same that I feel for her!
-Oh boy!! I'm so happy for you!! And now what are you going to do next??
-I've planned to run away with her! We'll run away and live together in the countryside!!
-Have you told her yet?
-I'm planning to tell her this night! I'm going to ask her to run with me and then we'll get married!!
-Do you think she will accept? It's not so easy kid.
-I know but she even worked in the streets for making me a present! Look!! –Anthony took the ring out of his pocket and showed it to Maurice. He showed him the little inscription on it.
-Wow!! She really loves you!! Come on kid! We must work now. I'll help you later with your plans.
Anthony and Maurice worked all the morning for preparing the dinner for that night. Trigon had planned a reunion for that night and he wanted everything to be perfect.
When they finished Anthony got upstairs to his bedroom and took a shower. He needed to be prepared for the guests for a special party that would be done that night but the thing that most cares for him was to look perfect for Raven.
While he was taking a shower he heard a noise in his room. He hurried and got out of the bathroom. When he got into his room he saw Victoria staring at him.
-Hello Anthony.
-Uhm... Hello Victoria. What are you doing here?
-I... I just wanted to... –She got nearer to Anthony and closed the door.
-What are you doing??
-Come on Anthony. We both know that you want me.
-What?? Get out of my room!
-Oh come on!! Don't tell me that you love her!
-What are you talking about?!
-Don't try to fool me! I know you love her! I know you want her since you came to this house! I've seen you!! The way you look at her! She's just a who...
-Shut up!! Don't ever talk of her in that way!! Get out of my room now or I'll tell everyone why you've been here!
-I'll tell everyone about your secret romance with the little daddy's princess!
-I've been living here for 7 years and you've been here only one. Why will they trust you more than me? Trigon trusts me! He trusts me more than he'll ever trust you!! And now get away from my room!!
Victoria opened the door and she got out.
-Great!! The last thing that could happen to me!
Anthony finished preparing himself and went downstairs to wait for Raven and Trigon and then for the guests to arrive to the great dinner.
