Jamie sighed and walked into her bedroom. She took out her Lord Of The
Rings book and began to reread the trilogy. She was just a normal girl
with nothing extra ordinary about her. She had a normal house but she
would like if it were bigger. Her room was a little smaller than her
taste. She lived alone in her house. Sure her mom came to visit every
once and a while but she needed a boyfriend or a husband!
She closed her book and slipped it back into its trilogy box. She walked
out of her room carefully locking it with her key. She didn't like people
going inside and messing around with her stuff if they ever came for a
"Surprise visit". She walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple. She
bit into it and flopped down on the couch. She took another bite and heard
a loud crash coming from her room.
"What the?" She asked herself pulling out the key she kept on a necklace around her neck.
Jamie quickly jumped up and ran over to the door. She slipped it into the keyhole and turned it. She slowly opened the door and peered inside.
"The statue says she's here," said a long spindly man with red hair. He had a bunch of green designs covering his body.
"Ratso hand me the statue," said a smaller man with large glasses and black hair. He also had strange green designs all over him.
"Sure," said a large man holding a statue with four dragons on it each pointing a different direction. He too carried green designs on his skin.
"Hmm it's still glowing in this direction so lets just follow it," said the man with glasses.
"Good idea," said the tall man and he looked up "well hi little girl."
Jamie opened the door the rest of the way. And suddenly got enough courage to talk. I mean these three looked like total dolts!
"What are you doing in my room?" asked Jamie angrily.
"We are looking for something," answered the tall skinny man.
"What are you looking for?" asked Jamie raising an eyebrow.
The man with the large glasses pointed the dragon statue towards her. Jamie's muscles tensed ready for an attack. The dragon's mouth was glowing. When he pointed it towards her it stopped glowing. The man with glasses smiled and nodded his head towards Jamie.
"Say good night little girl," said the man.
Jamie opened her mouth in protest. But before she could say anything else she heard a booming voice behind her.
"Spider traps prey!" it yelled. There was a sudden pain on the top of her head and she fell to the ground unconscious. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jamie groggily came back to consciousness. She groaned and blinked her eyes as she slowly opened them. Where was she? She opened her eyes all the way and eventually they adjusted to the dark. She looked around puzzled for a second and a wave of memory washed over her. She shook her head trying to get her thoughts in place. She felt a rough pair of hands grab both of her arms. There must be two of them! She was being dragged. She looked around her finally able to see. There was a pair of what looked like armored guards dragging her across the floor. She had to close her eyes and open them again just to believe what she was seeing. Suddenly the guards threw her to the ground. She groaned and pushed herself onto her knees. In front of her was a giant throne and sitting apon it was a boy who looked as old as her. He was wearing blue and red designed clothing. The designs looked like the ones that were on the men in her bedroom. He had dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
"So we have found this girl," said the guy looking closer at her "and why have you brought her here? I demand to see Fin, Ratso and Chou!"
The three men appeared beside the throne. The one who spoke first was the one with red hair.
"You called little V?" he asked arrogantly.
"I told you never to call me that Fin!" Yelled the guy in the throne angrily "my father was an embarrassment to my family!"
"Whoa sorry Garet!" said Fin backing away.
"I told you to call me Lord Garet!" He growled.
"Ok, ok you called Lord Garet?" He asked again.
Jamie was right in thinking this man was a nimrod. He obviously was.
"Why did you bring this girl to me?" He asked looking at Jamie.
She stood up and looked around quizzically. Where was she anyway? She looked at the people in the room and raised an eyebrow.
"She's the girl the statue thingy was pointing too," answered Fin.
"Give me the locator!" Demanded Garet.
"Here you are your wrathliness," said the man with the glasses, which had to be Chou.
He grabbed the locator and pointed it at Jamie. It flashed brightly then went out. A dawning of understand came across his face.
"Ah the talisman powers must have been transmitted to ordinary people after my father destroyed them!" He announced grinning.
"Big V?" asked Fin curiously "Valmont destroyed the Talismans?"
"Haven't I told you before!" yelled Garet "he was supposed to become a master of dark chi magic but he failed to complete his training! He knew only one advanced spell and it was the only one in existence to be able to destroy the talismans. But since the talismans had no where to go they must have hidden themselves within the mortals!"
"Ok let me get this straight," said Fin furrowing his eyebrows "your immortal? What about us? Are we immortal because of your dark chi?"
"For the millionth time yes!" He yelled.
Jamie stood there compelled. Why wasn't she running? She could have escaped by now. Wait a second. It might be the fact that she couldn't move.
"So girl," said Garet finally looking at her "what is your name."
"Jamie," she answered trying to move her foot to run but failing.
"Well Jamie," said Garet smiling "can you do anything extra ordinary? Can you run extra fast? Do you seem to never get sick? Have you ever had a near death experience and lived for some reason?"
"Um no," answered Jamie looking at him quizzical "where am I?"
"You are in the temple of HazaDèr!" said Garet smiling and winking at her "and you are a very special girl."
The men behind his throne started giggling.
"The little V is in love!" Chou sniggered.
"Get out!" He yelled and the three of them disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Garet stood up and walked over to her. He smiled pleasantly. Jamie found she could move again but she wasn't sure if she should run.
"You see there are some bad men after you," he said as he stopped in front of her "and I want to protect you from them. You see you have a special gift. Have you ever heard of the Chinese Zodiac?"
"Yes," replied Jamie nodding her head.
"Well there used to be a small stone for each of the animals in the zodiac. Each stone had a different power. There were twelve in total. Now the small stones are destroyed thanks to my father Valmont. The talismans power had nowhere to go so they hid themselves inside humans. And you have one of the powers of the stones. Now all we have to do is find out which one you possess. With the help of my dark chi magic we can find out which power you have."
"What is dark chi magic?" asked Jamie raising an eyebrow "is it some kind of magic trick or something?"
Garet moved forwards shaking his head. He held up his hand and shook it so hard that it was a blur. Suddenly he was holding a bright red beautiful rose. He handed it to her. She smiled and took it. This guy really knew how to sweep her off her feet. He was so handsome too. She stared at him then smelt her rose.
"You see chi magic is a little more complicated than just making a rose appear in your hand," he said smiling "any magician can make a rose appear in their hand but no magician can do this."
Suddenly the ground beneath Jamie began to shake. She gasped and grabbed Garet for support. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her back holding her gently. She looked up at him and into his eyes. They twinkled like stars. She smiled. This guy couldn't be one of the bad guys.
"Tell me more about this dark chi magic," she said smiling "what else can it do?"
"Well," he smiled "it can do many things if you learn the right spells. But I mostly have been training using attack spells. I don't want to be caught off guard when the bad men come. Now let us go to my room."
Jamie raised an eyebrow at him and he smiled almost laughing.
"Just so I can find out what talisman power you have," he explained.
He started walking with his hand still around her waist. She smiled and curled her head and arms up against his chest as they walked.
"What the?" She asked herself pulling out the key she kept on a necklace around her neck.
Jamie quickly jumped up and ran over to the door. She slipped it into the keyhole and turned it. She slowly opened the door and peered inside.
