THe Shiny Thing

By Hannah Compton

"Oooooo shiny!" Heather says while picking up a shiny necklace.

"Heather, what have i told you about picking up stuff off of the filthy ground?" Heathers older brother, Mark, says while yanking the necklace from her hands.

"Mark, give it back meany!"

"Heather, no."

Mark says while holding the shiny necklace over his head. You see Heather and Mark are to teenagers who love to disagree with each other. Heather brushes her long, blond, silky hair from her face, and starts to jump trying to reach the necklace Mark has held over his head.

"Mark! Give it!"

"No Heather, this necklace is to small to fit over that large nose on your face."

"Mark, that was mean, and my nose isnt large, my face just hasnt grown to fill my nose." She says while holding her nose.

Heather and Mark continue to fight over the necklace when Heather reaches it. They start to play tug-of-war with it when it breaks into two pieces.

"Now look what you'v done Heather. You broke it!"

"Well maybe I woulnt of broke it if you wouldnt have called my nose large!"

Heather tosses the half of the necklace into the lake on the right of them. Mark does the same and starts to walk back to the house, when he hears Heathers scream.

"MARK! HELP ME!"

Mark looks back and sees Heather being pulled into the water by a mysterious water form.

"Hold on Heather! Im coming!"

Mark pulls Heather out of the water. The water form disappears back into the lake.

"Thank you Mark! I thought i was goner."

Mark hugs Heather and rings out her wet hair.

"Heather, just because we fight doesnt mean I dont love you!"

"Ok, I wanna go home now."

Heather and Mark walk back to the house, but when they walk in something doesnt feel right. Mark and Heather walk into the kitchen and sit down at the table and watch there mom make dinner. There mom brings the dinner to the table when Heather and Mark notice the necklace they threw in the water on there moms neck. Heather and Mark looked at each other with scared faces. They knew this was the last time they would ever see the sky again.
