The Curse Of Princess Melissa
Her long lustrous hair touched the sweet grass. She was beautiful. Her skin glowed and her blue gown shimmered in the street lamp light. Her heels gave a soft clink as she sat on a lonely bench in the middle of a park. Then came a young man with blonde hair and a coat suit. He was carrying a small baby wrapped in a piece of expensive cotton. He sat near the women and they smiled at their cute baby. The beautiful scenery was mesmerizing but something was amiss. The park grew darker and darker with each passing minute. All of a sudden a cruel man came out with a knife and killed the young man. The poor woman screamed and hugged her baby tighter. She ran and ran and ran into the woods far away with her crying baby clutched in her arms. An old lady approached her and she took a silver blade from her red cloak and …. ‘’ Ah ! ‘’ screamed Melissa as she woke up with a cry. The hair in her neck stood up and a chill ran down her spine. Just then her mother , Malice, came rushing to her. ‘’ Are you alright Mel dear ? ‘’ she asked with a worried look. ‘’ I am fine it was just a weird dream “’ replied Melissa and went off to get ready for college. She gobbled down her breakfast and rushed off.



She clutched her jacket tighter as it was chilly outside. She walked on the cold pavement thinking of the dream which had haunted her for months. She never knew what happened next or why it bothered her so much. She pushed away the negative thoughts and rushed off to join her best friend Isabelle for a cup of hot chocolate before college.

‘’ Everyone this is our new student Jacob who would be joining our college this year’’ said Miss Lee indicating to a tall boy with blonde hair. He smiled and went to take a seat. Malissa could tell that all the secret whispering were about Jacob but she did not mind that. He looked so familiar but she could not recognize him. Neither could Isabelle. After class Malissa and Isabelle decided to talk with Jacob so they stayed back till all the noisy heads were gone. Malissa approached him and lent him a hand , ‘’ Hi I am Melissa nice to meet you Jacob’’ Jacob shook her hand and said with a smile,’’ You seem like the great princess Melissa nice name you have got there’’ and left. Isabelle and Melissa looked at each other questioningly. Who was Princess Melissa? ‘’ Mel dear can you please help me repair the broken switch’’ called her dad, Andrew. She reluctantly put down her book and went to help her dad. Just as she was fixing the broken switch a wave of electricity passed through her and she collapsed closing her eyes. Pictures of her dream flashed across her eyes.



She tried to open her eyes but could not. The next day she found herself lying in the bed with a pack of tablets in her bedside table. Malice was pouring tea in two cups. Melissa sat on her bed and asked what happened. Malice explained everything to her. Melissa could not believe what she saw when she was electrocuted. She saw a lady who looked so familiar. It was the lady from her haunting dreams. She still didn’t understand why the dream was disturbing her so much. A few hours later Isabelle came in to ,meet her and Melissa told Isabelle about her dream. ‘’ maybe it is related to princess Melissa…’’ said Isabelle with a shrug. ‘’ if it is I bet Jacob can tell us ‘’ said Melissa with a wave of confidence in her eyes. It was a cold creepy Monday morning and Melissa was getting ready for college when she heard something or rather someone talking. She turned around to see that there was no one but pet rabbits.



She thought it was just her imaginations and she headed off to college. After class Melissa and Isabelle rushed off to the library to meet Jacob. ‘’ who is princess Melissa ? ‘’ asked Melissa. Jacob sighed and sat down. He put his bag away and and started ‘’ princess Melissa was a beautiful young lady. She was the daughter of King Jonathon and Queen Jeniffer. They adored her so much. She had a magical power of hearing animals and she can see through peoples’ mind. However the king and queen decided to lock her power up because they feared that her powers would cause harm to the people. Something can bring the power back. No one is sure what it is neither could they find out because the princess was cursed by an evil witch who was jealous of her power. It is said that only another girl with a pure heart and same powers can break the curse but there was no sign of princess Melissa ever again. ‘’ he finished. Isabelle‘s mouth hung wide ajar. Melissa looked so confused ‘’ that’s all I can say I am sorry ‘’ said Jacob and left.



After a long moments pause , Melissa asked’’ can I come over to your house?’’ Isabelle nodded and they left together deep in thought. Isabelle was a student who loved adventure and science. Her room was decorated with a space theme. It was painted in a dark blue shade with glowing star stickers all over the walls. The eight planets hung on The ceiling. The room was amazing. ‘’ nice room makeover Isabelle ‘’ commented Melissa as she put down her bag and took out her phone to call her mom. Isabelle smiled proudly and looked over her room. They sat on the bed quietly thinking about the events that happened that day. ‘’ Do you think you could be Princess Melissa?’’ Isabelle mocked as she slurped her drink. ‘’ No of course not but I could be a heir to the Throne ,’’ said Malissa. ‘’ But you don’t have the powers of princess Melissa right? And even if you did how can we figure out To unlock your powers’’ retorted Isabelle. Just then a thought struck Malissa. ‘’ Isa do you have a broken switch at your house?’’ Isabelle looked at her friend with surprise but nodded indicating to her bathroom door ‘’ my dad will fix it tomorrow don’t worry and don’t touch it you may get electrocuted’’’ she added. ‘’ a smile washed across Malissa face. She went on telling Isabelle how Heard two bunnies talk after she was electrocuted the previous week. ‘’ don’t you get it Isa’ electricity unlocks my powers,’’

And with that she went off to touch the switch. Hot electricity passed through her. Her blood was throbbing in her veins and her eyes were shut.



She felt as if her lungs were compressed. Memories of the dreams flashed across her eyes and she collapsed with a loud thud. Isabelle came running and knelt down beside her. ‘’ Are you ok Melissa ?’’

She asked...
