Read Daniel Taylor Between Two Worlds for Free Online

staring at him, her mouth hanging open, finger still lingering on the power button of the stereo. She was still wearing her jacket; she must have just come home from the hospital. “Danny, have you lost your mind?”
    No, just my girlfriend , he thought, frustrated. “Sorry, Mom, I didn’t know that you were home.”
    “What happened here?” His mother frowned as she saw the pieces of plastic littering his bed. She looked exhausted. There were circles under her eyes, which were red and swollen. Daniel almost felt bad for her, but he was still angry at his mother as well.
    “When will you finally tell me where I can find my dad?”
    “Soon. You just have to have a little patience.” She left the room, pulling the door shut behind her.
    “Patience,” he muttered, pacing across the room. “Understanding, time … I can’t take it anymore!”
    He leaned back up against his desk and bowed his head. They were all against him. Then there must be something wrong with me; I’m just not normal.
    “Of course not!” He slammed his hand against the desk in frustration.
    What would it have been like if he had decided to stay in the underworld? They would have given me the proper respect I deserve. I could have ruled them all … But then he couldn’t have been with Vanessa. Nessa … He missed her. Over the last few weeks, they had spent almost every day together, from morning to night. They went swimming and to the movies, rode their bikes, took long walks in the park, made out, talked, laughed, and made out some more … Maybe I overreacted. I should apologize to her. Right away. Mike’s probably brought her home by now. He looked out the window, but there was no light on in Vanessa’s room. The whole house was dark, even the ground floor. Daniel knew that the Barkleys were out bowling tonight. But where was Vanessa? He gradually began to get worried.
    Suddenly, the demonic part of him sensed that he was no longer alone. He spun around and saw Marla lying facedown on his bed, her head buried in his pillow.
    “What’s wrong?” Daniel sat down on the bed next to her. In a way, he was happy that she was there.
    “Do you really want to know what’s wrong?” The face she raised from the pillow looked so angry and upset that Daniel thought her eyes might start to glow.
    “ That’s what’s wrong!” With her hand, she drew a small circle, causing a portal to materialize. The porthole opened, allowing Daniel to see through the wall. Naturally, he didn’t see the little forest that stretched out behind his house. Instead, Daniel was looking directly into what he assumed was Mike’s living room, where his blond rival and Vanessa were sitting on a black leather couch, arm in arm.
    Daniel flipped out. “Why should that bother you ? I’m the one who’s dating Nessa!” … Used to date , he corrected himself, jumping up. Every nerve in his body was vibrating dangerously. As Marla closed the portal, Daniel felt a pain he had never felt before in his chest. I never would have thought she’d cheat on me.
    “Damn women,” he growled, earning an evil glare from his sister.
    To make matters worse, Sirina appeared, as if on cue. She emerged through a portal over his bed, leapt agilely over Marla, and landed gracefully in front of Daniel.
    “Silvan, lover, I sensed that you’re not feeling so well, so I came right over to cheer you up. What’s happened?” she asked, saccharine-sweet, rubbing up against him like a cat. The fabric of her green dress rustled quietly.
    Daniel could sense a buzz in the air as Sirina and Marla exchanged thoughts. When Sirina suddenly grinned from ear to ear, he knew that she had been informed of the latest events.
    “I told you right off that your human strumpet wouldn’t make you happy, lover.” She took him by the shoulders and pushed him back until his knees hit the bed. Daniel was paralyzed. He couldn’t take his eyes away from Sirina’s, which were rapidly changing color. One second,
