Hello again. I want to attempt to do a chapter everyday… it probably won't happen but it's a nice thought.

My eye twitched slightly as Gregory loomed over me. He had been doing this for about a good half hour. He would pace for a few minutes then loom over me and go back to pacing.

I was trying to concentrate on a new sketch for a painting but sadly this wasn't getting very far.

Gregory had been hanging around almost every night for a week. We had no idea where to start looking for the amulet and he himself wasn't helping at all. We would barley have a conversation and he always seemed to stalk me personal space when I was trying to get into my element.

I slammed my hand down on my desk and turned sharply in my chair.

"Do you want to say something? Sorry but I can not concentrate with you stalking me every other minute." I said lifting my legs up to sit crisscross in my chair.

He looked at me for a minute before letting out a sigh. He seemed equally as frustrated as I was.

"I have no idea where to start…" he finally let out.

I nodded my head in understanding. He still hadn't actually told me about this amulet or what it did.

"So…what exactly is this amulet?" I asked my curiousness getting the best of me.

He looked up with this look in his eyes. It was a gleam of hope and determination. It was accompanied by a small smile tugging at his lips.

"It's the Stone of Atomone. It serves a purpose every certain hundreds of years. It comes with two; how do I put this, it comes with two holders. One the hunters have and it will send us to our deaths in the deep bowls of hell. The other one, my father has. It will save our family and let us become human once more. They only work though if we have the stone by the time the comet is at its peak. The comet is what comes every number of years and makes the stone work. We had come close to becoming human about three hundred years ago, but those damn hunters charged in and wrecked the whole thing!" his fists were clenched and his jaw was tight by this point.

"Wow, and what happened?" I asked trying to scoot closer extremely interested.

"My Uncle Von tried to save the amulet when the hunters knocked it out of my fathers hand. He jumped off the cliff to save it. We have yet to see Von or the amulet since then." he said bitterly.

We sat their in an awkward silence for a bit.

"Well, maybe that gives us a starting point!" I said enthusiastically.

"What?"

"No, see, all we have to do is go back to that cliff and search the shore line! At least we might find something there!" I said talking dramatically with my hands.

"And what if it sunk to the bottom of the sea?" he asked.

"I know where to get diving gear! My friend Scott is a huge surfer and loves diving. He goes to California every summer."

He looked skeptical for a bit. Probably trying to understand what I was talking about before he agreed.

"How soon can you get them?"

"This weekend?"

He nodded his head and let some thought of relief come to his mind.

I did have one more question on my mind though. I was almost too scared to ask him. I hade to ask him about Elizabeth.

"So, who exactly was Elizabeth?" I asked looking at the floor wringing my hands.

I heard him get up and walk over to me. He gently put his hands on my knees and tried to look at my face.

"That's enough stories for today." he got up ruffled my hair and left.

I pouted my lips in disappointment before turning back to try and work on my art. Maybe I could finally concentrate.

I'm too tired to write anymore guys. Hoped you liked story time with Gregory guys. R&R
