Chapter 14: The Power of the Necklace and Bracelet
"Maddie? Hello, Maddie?" London said. She was standing in front of the candy counter, trying to talk to her best friend, but it seemed she wanted to ignore her today. 'We'll see how she reacts to this.' London thought.
"MADDIE!!!" London screamed in her ear, causing the blonde to jump about a foot into the air. "Gosh London, why do you have to shout in my ear?" Maddie asked, rubbing her ear.
"You wouldn't answer me. Now tell me, do I look fabulous?" She asked and did a little twirl. "Yeah, sure, whatever." Maddie said and looked at her watch. 5 o'clock, her shift was over. "I have to go now London, speak with you tomorrow." She said and rushed out of the hotel before London could say anything.
'Something is wrong with her, she didn't tell me how pretty I am! Wait, there's Esteban, maybe he can tell me how great I am!'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm home!" Maddie called out as she entered her house. "Madeline! Glad you're here, I just found something that you might be interested in!" Her grandmother said as she entered the lounge. Maddie saw an old book lying on the counter with the initials MF.
MF, her initials and the same initials on the bracelet. "Grandma, what is that book?" Maddie asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. Her grandmother looked at it and smiled. "That's why I called you here! That's the diary of Madeline Fitzpatrick, your ancestor who owned that bracelet. I thought you might be interested in her life."
Maddie sat down on the couch and picked up the book. She opened it to a random page and started to read.
I want to know more about them. This is the first time twins have come to our small town and I find them interesting. They look almost exactly alike, with blonde hair and blue eyes. You don't get many people who look like that. I wonder what they are doing here? Maybe for business or something, they look like rich gentlemen.
Maddie frowned. Twins? She knew it was unusual to find someone with twins during those times. She went to the next page.
I saw the one twin, Zackary, walking around the town tonight. I snuck out to go see him. It was lovely and I almost got caught out when I snuck back in! Grandmamma is still going on about me finding a husband and settling down, but I've found it is best to ignore her.
Whoa, wait just a second. There were twins, and the one's name was Zackary? 'This is just too weird.' Maddie thought and skipped a few pages until she found another entry.
Zack's left now, gone back to his parent's farm with his twin brother Cody. It feels as if my heart has been torn out and stomped on. He had to leave because he was promised to marry another woman. I feel so stupid, believing that he and I had a chance in the future. I gave him back the necklace and I've kept the bracelet. It's the only thing I have left of him.
Maddie quickly closed the diary and looked at the bracelet. MF, Madeline Fitzpatrick. Then she turned the heart over and examined the other initials. ZM. 'That must be Zack's' She thought. 'This is so weird. So, Madeline liked this Zackary.'
Maddie looked at the bracelet once more before she made up her mind. She picked up the diary and put it in her coat pocket. "Gran! I'm going back to the Tipton!" Maddie called out as she raced out the house. "Ok, but don't get back too late, there's going to be a snow storm!" Her grandmother said back but Maddie didn't hear her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Zack, why are you wearing the necklace?" Cody asked him. Zack looked down at the necklace and shrugged. "Who cares? Let's just go to the mall." He said. Cody agreed with him and just as they were about to leave the Tipton, Maddie ran into them. Well, actually she ran into Zack causing both of them to fall to the floor.
"Sorry Zack, but at least I found you." Maddie said and tried to get off of Zack and help him up, but she couldn't. Her bracelet was tangled with a necklace that Zack was wearing.
"Maddie, can you get off of me?" Zack said, not realising that his necklace was tangled up with her bracelet. Though he did realise how close they were from each other.
"Sorry Zack, but my bracelet is tangled with you necklace." She said. Zack sat up and looked down at the silver and gold chains. He then saw what was carved onto both the locket and the heart. "Maddie, where did you get that bracelet?" Zack asked.
Maddie looked down at it. "Oh, that's why I came to find you. It belonged to my ancestor, those are her initials. On the other side are the initials of this guy she liked." She said and turned it over. Zack looked closely and saw his initials there. He looked up at Maddie.
"And why did you look for me?" He asked. Maddie then started to untangle the bracelet. "Because I found her diary and in it she mentions this guy called Zackary, but she called him Zack. Those are his initials on the other side."
Zack nodded and finally pulled the necklace away from Maddie and got up. He helped her up. "What are you saying?" Zack asked. Maddie sighed. "My ancestors name was Madeline and she was in love with a Zackary. Wait, aren't those my initials on the necklace?"
Zack shook his head. "No, apparently they are Madeline's."
So, this wasn't exactly my favourite chapter, so just tell me what you think. I'm trying not to rush it, but I think I might be doing that but I can't help it! So, tell me what you think and be honest! Thanks guys!
