The Pendant of Fate
Sarah was a normal 20-year-old girl of the 21st century. Well, at least she and everyone else thought. She did have a few traits that would distinguish her from normal and different: her pointed ears, her excellent hearing and eyesight, the fact that she did not weigh much at all, and that she had no memory of her past farther back than a few years ago. Other than that, she was completely normal. Sarah was a beautiful girl with long light brown hair and dark brown eyes.
At this moment, Sarah sat on her bed, twisting the necklace and pendant she had through her fingers. That made her remember a few years back:
~*Flashback*~
Sarah found herself wandering through the city of Los Angeles (though she did not know it was called that at the time) alone, not knowing where she was, how she got there, or even who she was. All Sarah could remember was her name. She wore a long light blue dress, a hooded cloak which hung around her neck, sock-like shoes, and the only possession that she had: her necklace and flower-shaped pendant.
After walking around the city for hours, she saw a girl the age of twenty walking across the road, not noticing that there was an out-of- control car heading straight for her. Sarah saw this and jumped out onto the road, pushing the girl out of the way, as the car sped by them. Sarah got up from her place on the ground and helped the other girl up. "Oh, thank you so much! You saved my life!" the girl said. Sarah looked at her and said, "Well, I couldn't just watch you get hit by that thing." Then, she stuck out her hand. "By the way, my name's Sarah. And you are.." "Oh! Lacey Webster," the girl said as she shook Sarah's hand.
Ever since that day, Sarah and Lacey had been best friends. Lacey had taught Sarah about city life, gotten her a job, and bought her an apartment as payback for saving her life.
~*End of Flashback*~
Sarah continued twisting her necklace through her fingers. Suddenly the pendant began to shine brightly, and Sarah gazed at it with wide eyes. It had never done this before. It kept getting brighter and brighter until the light engulfed the whole room.
