Loving a Crosten, Jessica Erstad [free ebook reader for iphone TXT] 📗

Prologue

Everly and Crosten, two very different worlds, bound together once by love, and twice by brothers. Twins, one good, one evil. Everly was a land of the pure. No one who wasn’t pure was allowed in it. Crosten, was a land of pure evil, where the bad strived to take over Everly. Even if they had no way in it. They didn’t know however that they could go there, all they had to do was get the leader to let them in. Anna and Kiren, were the first to overcome this. Anna now leader of Everly at the age of 16, and Kiren leader of Crosten at age 17. The lands were complete opposites, and many feared what would happen if the Crosten’s took over Everly.

About two years later Anna found out she was pregnant, but her child would be the heir to both Crosten and Everly. Kiran feared what might happen, and decided one child could not rule both lands. They were far to different, and Anna agreed. When Anna had her baby, it was not one, but two. Twin’s, who looked very much alike. Anna, named one and she went back to Everly with him. Kiran took the other and went back to Crosten. Both parents teacher their child how to be the ruler of their kingdom, many found out, and didn’t want either child to take the throne. No one could convince Anna or Kiran to part with that child. Kiran may not have admitted it, but he loved both of his sons. Anna, loved them both, and they soon became a family. Meeting in the human realm, no one knew, but themselves.

When Anna and Kiran died, both of the twins took the thrones. No one stopped them, but many were curious to how their parents died at the same time. The twin’s knew all to much that they wanted to be together, be free. Anna and Kiran, never died, although both of the boys really thought they had. Instead they lived in the human realm, and had met another family with two twin girls. Who didn’t want one of their girls, Anna had wanted a family here, and would do anything for that little girl. So Anna and Kiran made a make shift family for the girl. They lived close to the other family, and soon the other family died. They were out casts from Crosten and Everly. The other daughter lived with her ‘uncle.’

The other girl, knows little of her family, only know her job. She has been raised by her ‘uncle’, for a certain job. She knows of her twin, unlike most.

Chapter # 1 ~ ‘ My Uncle’

Ella’s POV

Today sums it up, I am completely crazy. Whether you believe me or not, well that or I’m well not right. I cant tell you how, but I know its true! What would you think if your own uncle kidnapped you? I was far away from my parents, my best friend, and my boyfriend. Whom I have yet to tell my parents about. I remember when I actually wanted this to happen, I had dreamt that this would happen. When my grandmother had told me about him, my uncle. Well half uncle, my mother was my grandfathers only child, but my grandmothers third. My two uncle’s George, and Chris who I had never met until today.
I wish I had listened to my grandma when she told me that I never wanted to meet him, but I wanted to with every fiber of my being. Now I wish I had never thought that. He was just as she told me, cruel, insensitive, and didn’t care about anyone but himself. Which must be why I was looked in his basement in the middle of nowhere. He had called the place Crosten, and that there was no way I could leave.
What I wanted to know is why? Why when everything in my life was going right, minus the fact that my parents probably wouldn’t like Drako. Who happened to be four years older then me. When we met he was a senior in high school, and I was a freshman. We hated each other from the very beginning. Now it hurt me to be so far away from him. It was more so because we were complete opposites, I was the smart, good girl. Drako was the bad boy, who didn’t try, he had just came to school at Oakshord this year. Yet he was in all freshman classes. His best friend Kenin (Ken- in), had always been flirty with Ariella. My best friend, she was a like me, except she got any guy she wanted. Kenin wanted her so badly, but she ignored him. Well anyway back to my story with Drako, on the last day of school, Drako pulled me out of my AP Bio class. He had somehow managed to go to school with the freshman. He told me he loved me, even after ruining my entire high school years. Of course I forgave him, and he kissed me. Ariella pushed me into his arms and said ‘ oh go out already!’ and so he asked me out. That was five weeks ago, we spent every second we could, and my parents hadn’t been anywhere in sight. They did that a lot, or they used to. This was the first time they had in 15 years. I had been falling asleep and dreaming about Drako a lot lately.
“ Ella!” Drako murmured to me, this was the one night we spent together at his house. I remembered it as if it was yesterday. He kissed me deeply, and said, “ Can we?” It was the night I lost my virginity, I was convinced he could never love another. He didn’t cheat on me then, and I know he’ll find me. Wherever this Crosten place is, I’m sure he’ll find me. I miss him so, and I don’t think I’ll be able to last much longer. I cant believe its only been TWO days two! I was never going to last.
“ Ella,” My uncle hissed waking me up from my pleasant dream about Drako. Does he have to ruin my life? He might have ruined his, but he doesn’t even know me! He just thinks he can do whatever he wants, just because he kidnapped me. Well he cant, and I have been trying to show him that.
“ What do you want? Chris? You take me from my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and then you demand things from me! It doesn’t work that way. You leave me in the dark all day, what do you expect? Perfect behavior? Smiles? Yeah right!” I shouted back at him and he just looked at me. Should I continue? Shall I name more of the reason I hate him? It shouldn’t be that hard, considering he has given me so many of them. “ Why do you even want me here? Why take me away from my home?” I asked him, two of the questions I wanted to know when I saw this room. Dark a dreary, I laid on a small bed, in a small room. With nothing for me to do.
“ You actually get to find out right now,” My uncle yelled into my ear, and I fell off the bed landing on the cool cement floor. I stumbled to get up, usually I would jump at the idea of getting out of here. Just for a chance to get away, but something told me this wasn’t right. Chris threw an outfit at me, “ Put it on!” He shouted, “ I’ll be back in five and you better have that dress on,” Then towards the door.
“ No way! I’m not wearing this! The only person I would wear this for would be my boyfriend, and you are not my boyfriend. Nor will you ever be, so I will never put this one,” I shouted at him, and he turned around sharply, and walk back towards me. He looked less then happy, and I was proud of that.
“ Your not on your puny Earth anymore, you will do as I say girl! Or you will regret it dearly. Oh and by the way, welcome to CROSTEN,” Chris said walking away again, and looked back at me, “ Five minutes girl, you had better have it on,” He walked out of the room and then locked the door. I know he locked it because I heard a click and then keys shaking. I will not put that dress on! I am not a whore! Nor will I look like one for his amusement. I don’t intend on wearing that dress.

Drako’s POV

It hurt to know I was going to loose her. She was the only thing I actually wanted in my life. She was so out of my league, but she didn’t care. She loved me just as much as I loved her. I wish she had been home though, I wanted to see her once more before I had to leave. My realm needed me, and I was their leader. They once thought I was going to be bad, a terrible leader. Now they thought I was incapable of love. How wrong they were. They thought the same of my father, but he turned and loved the leader of Everly. Ella. She was the only one I could ever love, and my love for her ran so deep, to the fiber of my soul. If only she were one of us! Why did she have to be human?
Why was Winston bringing the one I needed? I need Ella. I don’t even care about the damn prophecy anymore. I need Ella, I don’t think I could live without her. She never asks about my parents, and I’ve never met her. I do find that odd, but whatever. Did I even want everlasting evil? Winston’s girl would bring ever lasting evil. Ella would bring goodness. She was pure and if she were one of us she would live in Everly. She was to pure to live here with me. ‘ You just have to have a child with Winston’s girl’ a voice reminded me. I could go back to the human realm and live with Ella then.
Being in charge has its advantages. No one dares to defy you, servants, a big palace, my own room far away from my brother, and it was home. Disadvantages as well, I was far away from Ella. Will she be okay without me? She wont try and kill herself I hope. I cant believe I just left her! She’s probably looking all over for me.
“ Lord, Winston should be here soon, and I heard his niece was quite lovely,” Arikson smiled and left, was he trying o cheer me up? Only Ella could. No one could be more beautiful then here. She was the most beautiful girl in the universal realms. My fair Ella, with her slightly curly hair her beautiful eyes. I could stare into them for eternity. The sad thing was she thought she was normal. She didn’t see how rare and beautiful she was. She never once wore make-up, or put unnatural heat to her hair. It was all natural! It was so amazing. She was amazing, and who knows, will I ever be able to see her again?
“ Oh Ella! I miss you, your soft touch, and the feeling of your lips,” I murmured to myself. Only to see Winston by the door, without a girl. How dare he defy orders? He was supposed to bring
