Novel & Cerita Booktok Necklace

"Explain this first" I reached into my pocket and pulled out the necklace, it burned my skin even through the fabric. My necklace was unique, it was made of silver and the chain revolved around dark rocks. I couldn't confuse him with another even after everything I told him the other day. I’m sure he knew it was mine and he still hid it from me. "That necklace is poisonous, you're sick of it," was the blank expression on his face. His words and his calmness made me even angrier.

It read, "A present for you to wear to the ball." I frowned as I gazed at the necklace. The thought of wearing something gifted by Brad made me uncomfortable, especially considering his persistent advances. The necklace that Brad sent was a piece of jewelry, meant to capture the attention of anyone who beheld it. It was a gaudy creation with a heavy, gold chain that seemed to shimmer under the dim light. The centerpiece was a massive, pear-shaped diamond, set in a platinum frame and surrounded by smaller diamonds. The sheer size and glitter of the necklace screamed extravagance and excess. It was a showy display of wealth, designed to emphasize the power and dominance of the Alpha.

I place the necklace around my neck and blue electricity radiates from my body and Bane steps back with his lips parted and eyes wide. When the electricity finally stops I reach into my bag and look at the books until I find the one I’m looking for. “This one,” I mutter to myself. I opened the book and the first page said in bright red ink. All you have to do is command the necklace, call it by its name and command anything. Her name is Agatha. I close the book and stick it back in my bag. “Agatha, protect my baby,” I commanded the amulet and placed a hand over my stomach.

There was a sketch, a drawing of a necklace on the right side of the book. The drawing was old, way too old but I could easily see what it was. it was beautiful. A necklace. Of gold. Below it was written in unknown language. I don’t know but I know it was probably the name of the necklace. I averted my eyes back to the necklace. It was beautiful. Beautiful will be an understatement. The necklace had the shape of two serpents using their mouths to form a clasp and was made from gold and jewels. I feel like, I was drawn to it.

Without a word, I walked into the store, with Grace following closely behind. The storekeeper greeted us with a respectful bow. "Greetings, gentlemen! How may I assist you?" Grace chuckled at the storekeeper's mistake, but I didn't correct him. Instead, I offered a small smile as I approached the neckpiece. It was even more breathtaking up close – a beautiful, gold-plated silver necklace featuring an intertwined knot pendant with a garnet stone. I asked the storekeeper, "How much for this, sir?" The storekeeper's eyes widened, and he shook his head. "I'm afraid it's not for sale. It's an antique piece I've had for years."

“I insist. Please, take it.” My gaze shifted to Cassian and he nodded. “Thank you,” I said, accepting it. I put it on and indeed it was beautiful. The most unique part of the gold necklace was its pendant—a gold viper draped around a diamond. “It’s lovely.” “It is,” she agreed. “I hope to see you again soon—maybe you could attend my tea-party tonight.” “She’ll visit again,” Cassian assured, before quickly leading me away from her and towards the door.”

I utter as I look at my naked reflection on the mirror. I see that necklace I am still wearing that is on its latest evolved appearance, a jade chain embedded with different color of gem stones and with a pendant of jade dragon curled on a circle like a medallion. This necklace, what is the relevance of this necklace? Why do I feel like somewhat this necklace is not an ordinary necklace? I feel like with this necklace I am not alone. It is as if I am with someone. Is this necklace something relevance to my journey in Evetora?

I said weakly. Aiden immediately scoops me up, and Austin and Rebel come up and look at me with concern. “Thalia, is everything okay?” “Sinclair?” “I’m right here.” She says, running up with Isaiah, Kaia, and Rodrigo. “What is the keepsake?” “It’s a necklace with a pendant.” She said. Isaiah speaks up, though. “The pendant has a small Purple Altantonite.” Austin whips his head. “Are you serious?” “Yeah. I couldn’t believe it either, Dad, but it’s true.”

He leaned on the shelf closer to the window watching Jessica sleep on the bed, so gone and tired. He watched her for like 5 minutes before removing a book from the shelf. He opened it and instead of pages of books, it was a box, a mini box designed to look like a book. Inside it are two necklaces with initials. He picked them up and immediately anger crossed his soft face. The first necklace holds a ‘D’ initial while the second holds a ‘C’. The color drained out of his face immediately and he tightened his grip on the necklaces. ~SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY~

Where is my necklace? *
