The Prince

Ruvin shook his head and sighed. What was taking her so long to grab the next order? He had slammed his hand on the bell & even yelled: ‘‘Order up!’’

He poked his head out of the kitchen for a short while & scanned the room for Angeline. The voice of a slight shriek echoed in the air. That must be Angeline.

Ruvin wondered what she had ‘noticed’ this time. What could her instincts be informing her now?

He placed the order closer by the kitchen door on the serving table. The minute that Angeline walked through the door— Ruvin exclaimed: ‘‘Oy!- What is it this time? What’s got you spooked?’’

Angeline’s face seemed to look quite pale as if all the blood had been drained from her. Ruvin snapped his fingers.

‘‘Earth to Angeline~’’

She broke out of her panic mode and bowed her head: ‘‘I’m sorry for that, Ruvin. I just thought that...ah..never mind.’’

Ruvin furrowed his brows and hoped the waitress was alright. She was getting spooked easily this season. Maybe she was reading too many horror tales past midnight.

Angline quickly grabbed the order and proceeded to march out of the kitchen. She continued to head toward Table 13.

She stopped for a slight moment as though she was in a trance. Then she blinked her eyes and carried on toward Table 13.

Once she was close to Table 13, she carefully and slowly placed the order before the customer.

He had a pair of sunglasses on, a hat on the top of his head, & he also wore a pair of scarlet gloves.

He lifted the metal cover over the dish. And said, ‘‘Oh my— The Chef’s outdone himself this time.’’

There on his plate was served a plate of a still beating heart. A bowl was served, too.

When the customer placed a spoon into the bowl, a pair of green eyes bobbled from the bottom of the soup & onto the top of the lava looking soup. The soup seemed to be still boiling in the bowl.

Angline gulped and tried to say: ‘‘Enjoy your meal.’’ But she was in shock, filled with fright at the sight of Table 13’s order.

The customer had only said, ‘‘I’ll take the order to dine in from the Chef’s after midnight menu.’’

Angline felt her heart racing inside her chest. What in the world was Ruvin serving his customers?

Was that a bowl of soup filled with human eyes?? And a plate of a beating heart?

She rushed to the bathroom— something was not right. Angeline placed a hand over her mouth. The pasta she had not too long ago was making its way back up her throat.

When the lights of the bathroom flickered, Angeline tried to scream. Something had swooped behind her in a nanosecond & covered her mouth.

In the mirror she looked in horror as the only thing she saw was her reflection- and the sight of a pair of sunglasses, a hat— and a pair of scarlet gloves also reflected in the mirror. But no reflection of another human being.

She flinched at the feeling of a bite on her neck. As she tried to escape from the strange being’s hold, she’s knocked the glasses off the being’s face.

Angline’s mouth opened in surprise. This face was that of...who..she tried to remember.

The second her body hit the floor, she realized who this being was...it was the Prince..
