SOMEWHERE IN A U.S. MALL
"Please, please, PLEASE, just $5.00! Please!" Amaya begged, her long black hair bouncing up and down with her.
"Fine, but you owe me!" Braeden, her best friend (besides Desdemona who, sadly, was stuck at home doing chores because she died her hair bright electric blue, permanently, against her Gran's orders to NEVER under any circumstances do exactly that), sighed as he handed her the bills.
"Thanks! You're the best!" she smiled and ran up to the store clerk with a necklace made of silver chain and a crystal pendant in the shape of the Star of David. She paid for the jewelry and sprinted over to Braeden and hugged him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she squealed locking arms with him and bouncing out of the store, her bright aqua blue alien-like-goggles bobbing off her forehead down to her neck.
You know the saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you." Well, whoever said that is lying in this case. What they didn't know about the necklace, would hurt at least one of them. The necklace glowed a deep purple as Amaya and Braeden left the mall and headed toward the parking lot.
