Angelica

She could feel a suffocating atmosphere around her, as she struggled to say anything back to them
As her eyes filled with giant rolls of tears, her heart sank to the ground
Without thinking about anything, she sprints off as fast as she could out of the house
As she ran to the streets bustling with commoners and very few nobles, she had various thoughts popping up
Everett
Everett
I thought he loved me... how could he cheat on me with my own cousin..
she suddenly stops at a dark ally, out of breath
Everett
Everett

Everett

She steps back a few steps frightened by weird looking shadows passing by without any humans bodies.
Suddenly a frail small hand pulls her blue dress
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman

Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
Are you perhaps not from here..?
Everett
Everett
AH..
Everett
Everett

Everett wipes her tears in a hurry as the mysterious old woman smiled as she gave her a handkerchief.
Everett looked at her for a second, as she gratefully took the handkerchief.
Everett took a deep breath and slowly began to speak
Everett
Everett

Everett
Everett
I.. I accidentally came here by mistake..
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman

Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
But.. if you don't mind me asking why were you crying young lady?
Everett fiddled with her fingers as the woman spoke once more
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
Never mind.. you might not want to tell a stranger about your private affairs
Everett
Everett
NO I...
Everett explained her situation as the woman nodded along with her
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
Oh my.. quite a day wasn't it..
Everett looked down into the ground trying not to burst into tears again
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
.. what about we make a little deal. I can give you something but in return I want you to stop being sad and pitiful and to take charge.
Everett
Everett
Uhm.. okay..
The woman smiled at Everett, as she took out a shining piece of jewellery from her pouch.
Everett
Everett

Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
It's not an ordinary necklace.. it's a necklace that can make your wish come true.. but only if it's a strong enough wish..
Mysterious old woman
Mysterious old woman
I hope that you will use it wisely...
Everett nods as she takes the necklace from her and stares at its shimmering light.
