The necklace

Emilia's P.O.V

The lady before me was young and beautiful. She had deep blue eyes and blonde hair, with a tanned skin. She looked really good.

Her lips were captivating, and her voice was like the tides of a river. Her nails were well manicured, and her dress was neat, beautiful and looked exquisite on her.

But what's with the 'EnEn'? Seeing our confused faces, she chuckled and waved her hands "It's just something I call Alpha D". She explained and we now understood. What a weird nickname..

"Oh, he is here". She alighted the stairs, then waiting at the foot for him to get to her.

"Ivy, Skylar, Kelly". She smiled at them, though his game were on me.."I wee you relayed my message". He said, then looked away.."Come over to the dining will you?" . With that, he crossed arms with the young lady and they both walked gracefully to the dining..

Skylar leaned in and whispered to the hearing of the three of us..

"Ooo, they look so good together".

Unbeknownst to us, the young lady's lips twitched, then slowly curved upwards to a half smile. Alpha D pullsd out a chair for her and she sat on it. He then pulled a chair out for himself.

"You brought her late though. I already dined with the other newbies, but I could spare some dessert". He said. Just then, the maid walked in with desserts.

"So, miss, what is your name?"..he asked .

All these while I've been fidgeting with my nails, trying not to look at him. I looked up reluctantly. "Emilia Herbert".

"Emilia". He repeated with a nod. "And you're how old?".

"Eighteen". I replied.. They began eating. I didn't bother touching any dishes. I don't know why, but I was having a strange feeling within me. Like a strange pull. As if something was calling out to me.

"You're not eating?". The young lady asked and I shook my head..

"I… I'm not hungry". I replied.

"Oh, this is Layla, she is my childhood friend". He introduced and the young lady waved at us with a bright smile..

"Nice to meet you all". She said sweetly.

"Nice to meet you too".

"But er, how come we've never seen you before?". Skylar couldn't help but ask .

"I just got back". She replied.

"She works in big cities. I don't know why she left all that to come here". He glared at her, but she returned it with a cute smile.

Meanwhile, I was uncomfortable. Where was that urge coming from? I got up abruptly. "Bathroom… please?". I murmured stiffly.

"Down the corridor on the left". Alpha D pointed, his eyes peering right into my soul.

I chuckled nervously as i hurried to the bathroom. As soon as I got in, I slammed the door, and pulled out the necklace which was hiding behind my dress.

It was glowing. The time, it wasn't even bothered by the fact that I was looking.

I gasped. Why was it glowing? Or, it could be that I'm imagining thing right?

I washed my face, and gave it small slaps. Then, I raised the necklace up to look at it again. Oh my. It was still glowing.

A knock on the door made my soul almost depart from my body. "Uhm..".

That was Alpha D. The pendant seemed to be glowing even more. Was it glowing because of him? Nevertheless, I tucked it behind my dress again.

I opened the door slightly, just enough to peek through. "Yes?". I answered in the most casual way I could at the moment.

He pushed the door open, much to my dismay and disapproval..

"What are you doing?". He asked..

I swallowed. Does he know something? "What do people usually do in a bathroom?". I threw a question back at him.

He narrowed his eyes at me as he stepped forward. I held my breath, taking unsteady steps backwards. The back of my legs hit against something, and I stumbled backward, but he caught hold of one of my swaying arms and pulled me. With that hand now on my waist, he uses the other hand to pull out the necklace.

It was glittering, shining brighter than ever before. Both my eyes and his eyes widened. "Where did you get this?". He questioned, his eyes remained fixed on it..

"I bought it". I replied honestly.

"You bought it?". He sounded like he wasn't believing a word I just said.

"Yes I did". I didn't like our proximity, so I pushed him away, but he tugged at the necklace as well.

I gasped. I bought that thing. I was furious now. "How dare you?". I screamed. I could only hope it didn't cut, but that's nearly impossible for it not to cut..

I came forward, trying to snatch it from him, but he stuck it calmly into his pockets.. "that's not yours". He said and I scoffed.

"what? It's mine .I bought it. What's wrong with you? Give me back my necklace". I growled, and he scowled .

"tell me. Where did you get this? You can just tell me the truth and I'll let you off". He said. He sounded desperate. And angry too.

"I've told you the goddamn truth, so please give me my necklace". I lunged forward, but he moved aside, and I stumbled to the floor and bumped my forehead against the hard tiles.

It stinged. I got up with teary eyes. "What is wrong with you?". I half yelled. "Give me my necklace back".

"It's not yours". He roared. He glared angrily at me and turned to leave, but the door was pushed open..

"What's going on here?". Layla asked. My friends were right behind her, peeking in.

He just glanced at me, before walking away. I scoffed in disbelief. So this was the Mr Nice they were all talking about? What a joke?

If that man is called nice, then I must be a fairy. Hmph!

Layla looked to me, silently asking for explanations, but I only sighed and brushed past her, footsteps, following behind immediately..

Skylar clutched my arm. "What happened?".

I glared at her and she raised her hands in surrender, before rushing to hold my arms again. .

That jerk! Goddamn jerk!

I must get my necklace back no matter what! I really need to know the route of this place!
