Power of An Amulet

Power of an Amulet

                                                                      Chapter one: The Forbidden Room

  I wake up to a shining bright morning. It's July Twentieth(A.K.A, my B-DAY!). I hop out of my bed, stretch, and skip downstairs to the kitchen.

  I bump into my Aunt Miranda on the way down. "Oh, morning sunshine! I've got a special birthday breakfast prepared for you. Eat up, it's an important day!" she cheered, walking past me. As I stepped into the kitchen, I saw a huge plate full of fried eggs, bacon, and a pile of toast with a candle sticking out of it in front of my reserved spot of the table. "Yum." I smiled sitting to eat.

  Fifteen minutes later, I had finished. Miranda and Bryan(Miranda's husband and my uncle) had joined. "Hey squirt, go get ready. We've got a big day planned today." Bryan said as I washed my plate at the sink. "Alright, be down in a few." I smiled, rushing back to my room.

  I picked out a nice outfit for the day, really casual though, jeans a tank top and flip flops. I stepped out, when something caught my eye.

  I glanced to my right and looked up. I saw the attic's door slightly open, and something shining.

  The attic. When I had moved in after my parents passed six years ago, it was the one room Miranda, my dad's younger sister, had banned me from going in.

  'Should I go in?', I thought to my self. The 'Angel' part of me ushered, 'No! Don't go, you'll lose Miranda and Bryan's trust!'. While the 'Devil' said, 'Go in! They'll never no you just looked around!'.

  Me, being a rebellious teenager, sided with Devil. I took in a big breath, and opened the door. Luckily, it made no sound, not even a creak. I walked around, and was amazed by what I saw. The room was full of old antiques in glass cases and spiffy, if dusty, outfits hanging around. I saw a shimmer again, and looked at the back of the room.

  There was a small necklace. It was a ruby(My birthstone) and was shaped like a horse... strange. I flipped it around, and saw an 'A' engraved on the back in silver.

  It was so pretty.

  Naturally, the greedy part of me told me to put it on, and I did.

  Suddenly, I saw a blinding white light, and I blacked out.

  I groaned as I opened my eyes to a shining sun. 'How did I get outside?' I thought to myself. I rubbed my eyes, and it took me a second to realize my hands were larger than usual... wait.

  Not hands... but hoofs.
