Trinkets and Curses
Recap of last time:
"Young man, there is a story behind those knives and the armbands. They were once a set. It belonged to a warrior of great renown, but this warrior perished in a battle. Little is known about this warrior, but he was on the side of God. It would be wrong to separate this set. Keep them together, and may whatever fair luck their previous owners have had be passed onto you," and with that the woman sent Alex away.
"Well, that was a bit strange," Alex muttered as he walked home. Casually, he placed his hand in his left pocket, only to find…
Chapter 2
A pocket watch.
It was an unusual watch, with ancient symbols of different races and cultures littered on the silver metal of the timepiece. Alex frowned and turned it over in his hands, "Where did this come from? It wasn't in the shop with me, so where did I get it?"
"Alex! Where have you been! I was worried sick!" Evy rushed towards her son and enveloped him in a hug.
"I was just taking a walk mum," Alex sighed.
"It was the fighting again, wasn't it?" Evy seemed to shrink inside herself, feeling guilty.
"I guess it's partially that I'm tired of you and dad fighting. I just… I think… I don't know anymore, mum. I just think that Imhotep messed up our lives so bad that we'll never be able to fix them," Alex sighed tiredly, absently fingering the watch.
"Alex! Evy! You're both safe!" Rick O'Connell ran towards his family and sighed in relief.
"Rick, we need to stop fighting. I don't want to fight with you anymore," Evy was nearing tears, when she saw the distraught expression on Rick's face. "I just want to be with you and Alex."
"Mum, its okay, you don't need to cry," Alex tried to reassure his mum, but she only seemed to cry harder.
"Evy, I think we should go…" Suddenly Rick dropped like a dead fly, and Evy fell on top of him.
"Mum?! Dad?! What's wrong?!" Alex shouted, "SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!"
Luckily a tavern keeper's daughter heard him and told her father to call for a doctor, "What's wrong?" The tavern keeper's daughter tried to comfort the fifteen year old.
"They were just talking to me, and then they fell!" Alex stared at the older girl with haunted eyes.
"Do you have anyone you can call?" the older girl asked him gently.
"Yeah, but it'll take at least a month for him to get here…" Alex frowned.
"So, why don't we send you to him? Would that be shorter?" the tavern keeper sneered at his daughter and the boy.
"Father, the boy WILL stay with us until his guardian arrives, or I will stay with him at his home to guard him until his real guardian comes," the older girl glared at her father.
"Fine, you stay with the brat!" the tavern keeper sneered and turned on his heel.
"He's not a very kind man, but he's my step-father," the older girl shrugged. "I'm Larissa Winters, but you can call me Rissa; what's your name?"
"Alexander O'Connell, but everyone calls me Alex."
"Well Alex, let's go home," Rissa grinned as the sad boy led her to his home, after he had watched his parents being loaded into an ambulance that would take them to the hospital.
