I was sitting on my bed staring at Charles, who was sitting at the writing desk. He was fiddling with something in his hands. I kept trying to see what it was, but everytime he caught me looking he turned his back to me. I sat on the bed in suspicion. I fell backwards and laid my head on one of the pillows. I could hear Charles set whatever he was working with on the table. His chair sc.r.a.ped the floor as he stood up. I turned to my left and watched him walk to the bed. His eyes darted to me and then to the window."Why did this have to happen. To us. To you?" he asked me.
I looked at him in pure confusion of what he asked me.
"Its been years since it happened Charles. We should just put in behind us," I said as I sat back up.
"What if I don"t want to put it behind me. What if I wanna turn back time and go live with my family again. Akila, who did this?" He replied in anger.
I looked at him and laid back down, "I don"t know exactly who or why but we just need to forget it for now. Hey, um, what was that thing you were working on?"
"This dumba.s.s thing. It"s just a piece of s.h.i.t I found after the attack. Here," He said as he handed me a small oval piece of metal on a chain. I studied it and found a crease along its edge. I stuck my fingernail in it and opened it.
Inside there was a small piece of paper that had a small bit of writing on it. I pulled it out and held it to my eye.
"Well, this isn"t a piece of s.h.i.t, it"s a locket. There was this paper inside." I said as I handed the paper to Charles. He took it and looked it over.

"It says something here, py- pyani, I think?" He handed me back the paper and I took it from him.
"Pyani?" As soon as I said it the locket started to glow a bright red. I picked it up by the chain and held it in the air. It spun around in small circles and opened itself up again. I watched as it detached from its chain and fall to the floor upright. Out of it, a small stream of light shone. "What the h.e.l.l is that!?" I said as I stared at it. I backed up against the wall next to Charles. It shone bright as the sun. Suddenly the locket snapped shut. I stood there puzzled. I walked to the locket and picked it up by its chain. It spun as I held it. "What just happened?"
"I think the locket must have been enchanted to respond to that word, but why didn"t it work for me. I said it but it did nothing," said Charles, still against the wall.
I studied the locket and unclipped the chain. I brought it around my neck and closed the clip.
"Why did you put it on! It could be deadly or something!" exclaimed Charles.
"If it was deadly, whatever came out of it would of killed us already. And Charles, do you have magic?"
"No, why?"
"I think that"s why it didn"t respond to you. You don"t have magic, I do." I said.
Charles looked at me in astonishment, "No way! Only a few of our clan had magic. I thought they all died!"
"Well one of them didn"t."
