A Lady Out of Time
Moonlight glistened off the water while a slight breeze blew. Rosilyn walked along the shore and kicked at stones. Her life doesn't seem to be going the way she wants. She sighed loudly. Her life could be so much better if she just could find the right job. "May I take your order?", "Can I get you anything else,sir?", "I'm sorry sir, I will have the cook remake that for you." She muttered. She wondered, How did my life get this boring while all I yearned for was adventure? Rosilyn then walked to the stone bridge and looked up at the stars and back at to the water. She had a single tear stream down her cheek and land in the water below.
After an eternity of staring and wishing, she gathered her thoughts and decided to head back to her flat since a woman should not be out at this late of hour alone. Her watch said it was almost midnight. Where had the time gone! Heading back up the path to leave the serenity she got startled by a rustling of leaves in the woods. Rosilyn ran and took off into the grass and up the hill. She finally decided she was away from the noise and it had to be a deer. Well she hoped it was a deer. It has to be a deer! , she tried to reassure herself.
Almost at the top of the hill, Rosilyn tripped over a rather large rock. "Ouch!" she exclaimed, looking down at her knee of her blue jeans which were now a bit muddy and noticed a glimmer in the muck. It looked to be a necklace of some sort. Wanting to get a better look at the amulet and rinse off the caked-on mud she wandered back down to the water's edge where the blanket of trees didn't block the light.
It must be very old, by the look of it, she thought, as she leaned down to run it through the trickling water. As soon as the piece touched the water a blast of light and a pulsing wave of energy hit Rosilyn causing everything to go black for her as she fell to the ground.
