Skylee
ran her fingers through the crumpled paper and found a smaller box. Her eyes
widened as she opened it and peered inside. The box held a beautiful necklace,
which appeared to be very old. Upon closer inspection, she realized its dark
gray metal shone like new, reflecting tiny flecks of blue. She had never seen a
lovelier amulet. Her eyes moved back and forth from the necklace to the carving
on the book. They were exactly the same size and shape.
Plucking
the necklace from the box, she held it up by its long silvery chain. The
medieval looking amulet swayed and sparkled in the light as if it were covered
in diamonds. Inside its circular center were four distinct etchings. She
brushed her fingers across the symbols wondering what they meant, and then she
turned the amulet over. On the back were more etchings. One looked like an
inscription and the other was an odd symbol. They appeared to be in the same
language as the lettering in the book.
Skylee
didn’t know what to make of it, yet she had a strong urge to put on the
necklace. Draping it over her head, she crossed the room and stood at the
full-length mirror. Her blue eyes narrowed as she frowned at her reflection.
She had tried to tame her wavy blonde hair into some kind of twist, securing it
at the crown of her head in an attempt to look more mature. Now she wondered if
it only accentuated her most embarrassing feature her protruding ears. She
brushed an unruly curl away from her face and examined her pale complexion.
Maybe the extra makeup was too much. She usually only wore a little mascara and
tinted lip-gloss. She shrugged and made a face at herself in the mirror. Then
her eyes settled on the sparkling necklace, which was resting on the soft green
fabric of her dress.
“So,
this is my inheritance,” she said, holding it up.
She
curiously gazed at it and, to her surprise, white crystals were forming on its
surface. Suddenly a sharp pain seared her fingers and she quickly let go,
leaving it dangling from the chain around her neck. The amulet was as cold as
ice. Confusion overwhelmed her. Her heart pounded loudly under the freezing
metal. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. But as if being driven by
some force that she could not understand, Skylee walked to the book. She
removed the amulet and, with icy cold fingers, placed it into the diamond
shaped carving.
A
brilliant glow grew from the heart of it, intensifying in brightness until its
radiance held her gaze. Then without warning a jolt of energy surged through
her fingers. She shrieked and tried to pull away from the book, but her hand
wouldn’t budge.
