Ch.1: The Necklace
I walked up the stairs, leading to the deck. It was a normal sunny day, nice but a bit humid. I carried my laptop with one hand and against my side. I entered the light and walked over to a table, where my two friends sat, drinking smoothies and talking. Probably lovey dovy stuff, yes they were a couple, yes they were Cody and Bailey.
I walked over to them.
"Howdy" I said in my usual greeting.
"Hey" Cody and Bailey said as they looked up at me.
"Can I pull up a seat?" I asked.
"Sure" Bailey said. I drug an empty chair over to the table and sat down. I set my laptop on the table.
"Why do you have your laptop?" Cody asked.
"I was doing some research on this" I said showing off my necklace. It was more of a medallion or pendant. It was a coin that had a carving of the Sea Serpent, the kind you would hear in tales. Just last night, my pal Sammy and I were getting a bite to eat after working on a project that was due in about a week for school. He brought up about my coin around my neck. He thought it was a nice looking necklace but why did I wear it everywhere?
It was my pa's, passed down for many generations and centuries no doubt. I looked at a website that had tale about the necklace I had.
"What about your necklace?" Bailey asked.
"It says here it is the same necklace in this tale I found" I said pulling up the website and showing them the computer screen. Cody read it aloud.
"For many years, three coins had been passed down from three pirates to their children or wish to be children," Cody read. "These coins had a symbol that symbolized the seas. The Sea Serpent"
Cody studied the picture.
"That looks like your necklace" Cody pointed out.
"Ain't it strange?" I asked.
"It says there are no replicas" Bailey said as she hovered above Cody's shoulder.
"That is strange" Cody replied.
"Then it must not be a tale" Bailey said.
"Maddy what do you know of your family tree?" Cody asked.
"Well my pa gave me this necklace" I said. "A year before he died and he said he was given it from my grandfather and he said that in this necklace you hide the Treasure of the world"
"What does that mean?" Cody asked.
"Sammy asked the same question, so do I" I said. "Might be just a myth"
"Could be" Cody said. Suddenly, I looked up and saw fog rolling in…rapidly. This was a beginning of a not so good sign.
To be continued.
