"I just found out that the guy I moved here to be with already has a girlfriend!"
"Ouch. So that's the source of the sourpuss act."
"It's not an act!"
"Sorry wrong choice of words."
"Whatever." Alas rolls her eyes.
"He must be a real loser to leave a gorgeous girl like you hanging."
"He is a real asshole!"
"Do I sense pent up rage?"
"Maybe…alittle."
"A little?"
"A lot okay!"
"If you ever wanna talk about things my door is always open."
"Geez, thanks doctor Phil."
"I'm curious do you say whatever pops into your head?"
"What?"
"When it comes to insults I mean. Do you think them out or just say things?"
"I say what pops into my head." Alas states.
"Thought so." Marshall nods.
"Goodnight Marshall."
"Goodnight Alas Hope."
She pushes the door and it slams in his face.
I wasn't going to be nice to any of these people. Do you know why because I don't care anymore? No one was nice to me when I found out that I was being two timed. No one cares for me. No one made my life easier ever! So what was the point of tricking others into thinking it could be some candy land fairytale when it couldn't. I'm doing them a favor and I'm not wasting anymore of my time with people that don't deserve it.
Later that night Alas is preparing to cook dinner. She leans over the stove then turns it on. While opening the stove door, a burnt smell rises in the air.
"No way." She turns off the oven and tries to wave away the smell.
"Can you say take-out?"
Just then a glint catches her eye. She blinks and sees the source of the beam is inside the oven. She glances up at the dials the stove is off. She sticks her head in the oven. The twinkle is half buried under a caked on mess. Alas digs the glinting object out. Once it is freed from the oven she cleans it off with a rag and holds it up to the light.
It is a vibrant red ruby. The outer layer is amazingly shiny.
This must be a kid's toy. If it wasn't it may be worth a lot of money. I don't know anything about jewels but I may have hit the jackpot.
Alas inspects the jewel longer. She peers straight through the center. A vision of a horned slimy skinned demon flashes before her eyes. His red glowing eyes seem to pierce her skin. He laughs an evil laugh as he flexes his clawed fingers. It's not just his appearance that strikes her. His vibe is vicious and terrifying. Alas get's the feeling that something is very wrong. She tosses the jewel on the floor and the vision disappears but still remains on her brain. She watches the gem horrified of the vision's return. A few minutes pass nothing happens the ruby lays on the floor lifeless. Alas takes a few deep breaths. She picks up the jewel walks to her patio and tosses it over the railing.
