I ran quickly, with my heart pounding like a bass
drum. The trees flashed past as I moved noisily
through the forest. My side ached painfully, I had
a stitch, I gasped desperately for air. It felt as
though my lungs were bursting.
I was terrified, the forest was crowding in on me,
darkly enveloping me in swirling mist. Suddenly I
fell, sprawled messily on the dirt. I clutched
frantically at the silver necklace.
I had found the necklace just moments
before, like an unexpected gift, underneath an
overturned rock of granite. I saw the strange
image carved roughly onto the outside of the
rock and lifted it curiously, to find the treasure.
I had lifted the necklace suspiciously out, only
to be caught by an eerie wind that rushed at
me, violently from behind.
Shakily, I stood up, unsure of where I was. As
I stared thoughtfully at the necklace, it began
to glow with an iridescent silver light.
The fear crept uneasily into my mind.
