Disregarding what she said, I kept the pendant. It was pretty and also a nice memento of my dad. I always had it close to me, at school, at home, while bathing...even while sleeping. My mother gave up on convincing me to throw it away after a few days. I also liked keeping it with me because I found it's aura, the energy it gave off, to be pleasant, nice.With it close, I was always in a nice mood, it gave me a nice feeling. I never suspected anything weird was going to happen because of it, maybe I was a little dumb. I just kept it with me, happy from having it close., happy for still remembering my dad so vividly.
One day, after a few weeks, someone knocked on my door. Since my mom had gone out, I had to go open it. When I did, a policeman greeted me on the other side, he told me there had been an accident and that I had to go to the scene quickly. I got scared, this wasn't normal. Shaking, I asked him if he was looking for my mother. "You are...Camille, right?" I nodded, sweating badly and still shaking "Then you are the one I need" I nodded again, still scared, and decided to follow him. He walked slowly, I walked closely behind.
When we got to the place I saw no one I could recognize. I tried to tell the policeman that I wanted to leave, that I didn't know anyone present, but I couldn't talk. I panicked, things were getting way too weird and I wanted to get out, I wanted to go home. Not wanting to get lost, I kept following the policeman quietly, I was scared.
When we finally stopped walking, he told me my friend was up ahead, but that he couldn't keep me company because he had other more important things to do. As soon as he left my field of vision, I decided to get the hell out of that place, but, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't go backwards, I couldn't turn around and leave. I realized I could only move forward, I could only move towards my supposed friend. i started sweating badly, I wanted to run, I wanted to scream.
But I couldn't.
I moved forward, unable to stop, the more I advanced, the less people there were. I was terrified.
I stopped suddenly, I couldn't move anymore. I was frozen.
In front of me stood a small, thin boy. He looked to be about 13, his hair was messy and blond and his eye (the one I could see) was red, just like blood. He was wearing an eye patch, and had bandages around his hands, and apparently his arms too. He was smiling as he looked at me. I stared at him, wanting to run away and forget it all, yet being unable to. I was scared, terrified. I had never seen that kid in my life. I swallowed nervously, his smiled wider and laughed. His voice sounded small, like a lost child's, yet there was something menacing about it, about him.
He then spoke, his tone was cold and it sent shivers running down my spine "Where is the pendant?" the smile didn't leave his face, even as he spoke. I gasped, then glared at him. I was still scared, but I bit down my fear. Something told me he was talking about that pendant, my pendant, my dad's pendant. He stared at me, a questioning look on his face, I kept glaring. There was no way I was giving it to him, it meant the world to me. He closed his eyes, shook his head, then laughed. "I know you want to keep it, but, trust me, it's better if you just hand it over" I glared, then shook my head furiously. He sighed, then extended his hand "Believe me, it's what's best for you" I shook my head again, then glared hard at him
"It's mine." He chuckled.
"Come on Camille, don't be like that...hand it over nicely"
"No!" I yelled, he sighed, then ran a hand through his hair.
"Okay, fine. Have it your way. But..." he laughs "don't say I didn't warn you" With that said, he turned around and left, all the while humming a song my dad used to sing for me.
After he was gone, I ran home to cry.
Weirdly enough, when I passed the place of the supposed accident, there was nothing there.
The news never mentioned it either.
A lot of time has passed since then, it's a wonder I still remember it so vividly.
Today, I'm going to meet up with my best friend to go eat something. He said he had something important to tell me, so I've really been looking forward to this day. I smile stupidly as I get my things ready and prepare to leave. I'm sure today will be really fun. He's such a sweetie, I'm sure we'll go somewhere nice.
I wonder what--
"don't say I didn't warn you"
I have lost it.
Where is the pendant?
The pendant I need the pendant The pendant The pendant I need it Where is the pedant The pendant Where is it I can't lose it Not the pendant I need the pendant Where could it be I need it I---
WHERE AM I?
"So...another one has fallen, huh? Stupid humans, none of them ever listen..."
He cries, his duty has been prolonged.
