I ran until I felt I couldn't breathe any longer. Doubled over I tried desperately to catch the air that seemed to be escaping me all too fast.
"IDIOT!..." I huffed. "Why did you run...now....they're all going to think you're weird!" I hit the wall hard, then tumbled down and sat crouched against it. Putting my head on my knees, I felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes. "This...this is all your fault...why don't you just leave me alone already?" I questioned in the silence.
No reply....
"Oh, NOW you're quiet?!" I fumed. Reaching into my pocket, horror set in...my pendant...I found a hole at the base of my pocket...my pendant was GONE!!
Just as I jumped up a girl rounded the corner. The Blonde girl from class...the one who was talking non-stop....what...what did she want? Quickly I smudged the tears from my eyes. "Why....why did you follow me?"
She stopped in her tracks to stare at me for a moment, but held forward the very thing I was hoping she didn't have. "You dropped this when you took off. I came to give it back....it's really very pretty...who gave it to y-"
I snatched it from her quickly while she was distracted. "DoN't....Don't ever touch this again!!" I shouted as I hurriedly put it into another pocket. Making double sure it was secure.
"You don't have to get so-"
"Trust me...just don't touch it okay..." I ensured her. "You....you don't know what that kind of thing will do to you..."
"That's not nice...calling me a 'thing'....I was only going to play with her insides a little bit...after all...she said I was 'pretty'." The voice had returned. "She's really cute Eris...you should make her your girlfriend..."
"Enough!" I called out. "Look...thank you for returning it...I don't want anyone else have to put up with...well...nevermind..."
"No, it's okay. Put up with what? Wait...don't tell me...that pendant is haunted or something isn't it?!" She shouted...almost in excitement. "And it talks to you!"
I was shocked, I stood there frozen for a second. I couldn't tell her that...as if I wasn't strange enough... "No...it's really not that great...it's just...a family treasure...that's all..." I sighed. Once more I had lied. But perhaps it was for the better. "Thanks so much for returning it. I'm sorry I was so rude...my name is Eris Valon. You are?"
Eris
