Once the chest was all the way open, Ann opened one eye, then the other. Her jaw hit the floor and she gasped. What she found wasn't what she expected.
Ann stared at the three objects in the silver chest. One was a clear crystal that had been cut into the shape of an orb. The next one was a pink crystal cut into the shape of a heart, and the last one was a light blue crystal cut into the shape of a drop of water. Ann picked up the orb crystal and examined it. It had a little silver ring going throgh the top of it like a key-chain. The rest of the crystals had the same thing. Ann didn't get it. What was this? A joke? Sure, the crystals looked pretty cool, but what the heck were they for? Maybe it was all a scam, but the strange feelings were real. Her heart rate speeding up, shaking violently, feeling like she was on an elevator that was rising and falling, the hyperventylating, that was all real.
Ann just stared at the objects, the feelings having been gone by now. "Tch. whatever." Ann muttered to herself. Still, these do look pretty cute. Maybe they'll clip onto my belt loop. Ann took the clear orb and hooked the key-ring onto her right belt loop and did the same with the others. "Perfect!" Ann exclaimed. She looked back at her butterfly pendant that was still in the key-hole for the chest. She reached out and took the pendant back. She looked at it for a minute and raised an eyebrow. This has been one heck of a day. Ann thought. She watched as the top of the silver chest closed. The glowing from the butterfly pendant had stopped glowing once the chest closed. She got off her bed and startedto walk out of her room. She took one more look at the silver chest before closing her door and walking down the stairs. And into the kitchen.
Ann used the back of her hand to wipe some sweat off her forehead. She might have just taken a walk down the stairs, but it was still enough for her to brake into a sweat. She walked over to the freezer and opened it. She looked for any ice cream they might have, but they only had ice pops. Oh, well. It would work. She grabbed a blue ice pop and cut open the top. She bit off part of it and swallowed. She liked ice pops, but she liked ice cream better.
This humidity is making my hair curly. Ann thought as she ran a hand through her shoulder-lengh, light-brown hair. She liked heat, but not humidity. She walked into the living-room and plopped down on one side of the sofa. She looked over to the other side of the sofa to where the remote was. She reached for it, but with the remote being on the other side of the sofa, she couldn't grab it. She sighed and just sat there, wishing she had magical, long arms. Her parents would be home the next day, so she wanted to get some more computer and tv in before they would make her run around outside in the oven. Reluctantly, Ann scooted a little closer to the remote and stretched out her arm. Her finger tips just barely touched the remote. Ann moved her fingers a little bit in an effort to move the remote a little closer to her so she could grab it, however, that only resulted in her accidentally flicking the remote further away from her. "OH COME ON!" Ann yelled out of frustration. All this moving around was making her even hotter than what she was.
Ann glanced at the digital clock below the tv and scowled. "Five thirty. I should make dinner." Ann said outloud. She slowly got off the couch and trudged into the kitchen. She walked over to the pantry to see what she could find to eat besides Cheetos and potato chips. Nothing. Ann thought, heading over to the freezer. She rummaged through it and pulled out a Lean Cuisine pizza. "I guess I can eat this." Ann opened the box and followed the directions. She put the pizza in the microwave and waited for it to finish.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Ann took the pizza out of the microwave. She took a knife out of a drawer and cut the pizza in half so it would cool a little bit quicker. "Finally, I'm hungry." Ann said as she picked up half of the pizza and bit down, not paying attention to the directions saying to wait two minutes before eating. "OW!" Ann screamed as she dropped the pizza onto the plate. She had burned her tongue. "That hurt." Ann said as she stuck her tongue out, trying to make the burning feeling go away. Ann hated it when food burned her mouth, it always made her tongue feel weird for the rest of the day. She looked at the pizza that had caused the pain in her mouth. She scowled at it. "You're not making my day any better." Ann talked to the italian food. Great. Now she was going crazy and talking to a pizza. "Could this day get any weirder?" Ann groaned.
"Of course it could."
Ann's eyes widened at the unfamiliar voice. Now she was shaking because she was scared. "W-who's there?" Ann squeaked out. How could someone break into her house without the alarm going off? It was ADT! It always worked. It was supposed to, anyway. Ann quickly made a mental note to tell her parents to switch to Brinks Home Security instead. "D-don't come any closer! I have hot italian cuisine and I'm not afraid to use it, I hope." There was a deep chuckle. Not a happy one either, but a sinister one, and it came from the intruder.
"You think you can stop me? Fool, you don't even know who I am, let alone fight me and win. I just came to take back what's mine. I won't harm you. I just need the crystal pendants." The man must have been hidden in the shadows, for Ann couldn't see him. She knew that this guy was no good and her flesh started to crawl.
"I-I d-don't know what you're talking a-about." Ann stuttered. She knew he probably wanted the crystals on her belt loop, but she had a feeling that this guy wasn't your average, everyday robber. She pulled her shirt down a little to cover the crystals on her belt loop.
"I-if you don't leave right now, I'll call the police!" Ann shouted.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was hoping you would cooperate with me, but I guess I'll have to take the crystals by force." The man let out a sigh and emerged from the shadows. He was wearing a black,long-sleeved shirt and black pants with black boots. His hair was black and guess what color his eyes were? Black.
"You're kinda emo, aren't you?" Ann said with a grimace. She didn't like so much black. It was depressing to her. This guy seriously has a problem. Ann thought.
"Yeah. I get that a lot. Old news." The man said as he rolled his eyes. He approached Ann slowly and smirked. "What? You're not going to run? No screaming? No crying? You're just going to stand there?"
"Yep. Because God is with me." Ann replied shakily.
"Heh. You're a christian? Well, you'll soon realize the power of Leviathan and suffer!" The man started to laugh evily and charged toward Ann.
Hi! Ally here! I finally got this chapter to be over one thousand words! I'm happy, but it's still short. Oh, well. Pretty please, review. I could really use some feedback. But no flames. Oh and also, do you think I should change the name to something a bit more exciting? Maybe it's just me, but "My Magical Life" sounds kinda boring. Let me know what you think!
