The Locket (Horrorville 2)
It was summer in Horrorville. The school had just ended.
Kloe was on her way home, when something came under her foot. When she lifted it, she found a bright red stone gleaming in the sun.
It was very beautiful with intricate designs on the back and a long chain, to put around the neck. But the most intriguing part, was the red stone. It was very similar to a ruby but when she took a closer look at it, she could see a red fluid moving across it.
Since it was so beautiful, she wore it each and every day. And when school started and she got many compliments on it.
One day she was sitting at the back of the class with her friend, when a teacher she always hated scolded and humiliated her in front of the class and called her parents. Kloe silently wished, that she would die. In fact Kloe even pictured her death quite clearly in her head. At the same time she was rubbing the locket with her hand. It had become a sort of hobby of hers.
When she went home later, that day her school called to inform the students about their teachers’ death. She had been strangled by the telephone cord and died instantly.
That was when Kloe realized what she had done. But it did not frighten her, she was thrilled to have such a power in her possession.
Perhaps she was naive, or perhaps the locket had chosen its owner wisely depending on their lack of remorse.
So Kloe often did things she should not have. She often misused her power.
And they say, everything comes back to you. So when one day. Kloe was sitting in her creative writing class the teacher gave them an assignment:” Describe a death of a person in detail, and not just any persons’ death, but your own.”
Motivated by this new idea. Kloe began to write a gruesome tale of her own death. Bloody and gory. And after a while she became pale, as she realized, that while being so engaged in writing she hadn’t payed attention to her hand,that was currently rubbing the locket….
