Hope

Chapter 2

I am now standing in front of the door. The door looks ordinary, nothing special about it apart from the nice emerald green gem doorknob it has with a small hole there, the size of my amulet.

I bent down and observed the doorknob. it is a very nice gem. Any other day i would remove it and fix a normal doorknob on it but that feels wrong especially in this creepy situation.

I stood straight and my amulet slightly brushed it.

My amulet stuck in the hole itself clicking in place as if it was meant to be there. I tried to remove it but it won't budge, I tried to stand maybe it will just remove. But the stupid thing just snapped. I mean the chain snapped. I have been trying to get this thing off me for a long time now and when i was starting to get used to it, it just snapped.

I was pissed and annoyed that all that happened and wanted to turn around when the entire door starts to glow.

The light was so bright ,i had to cover my eyes, the light getting brighter by the second.

It finally stopped, i lowered my hands to see what just happened and i saw a writing on the door.

'to set him free

help him '

"what the????..."

who am i supposed to set free.

as if it heard my question, i showed another writing under the first one

'to get answers

dont push yourself

it will come to you'

OK!!!

I squeaked.

You know what, lemme just open the damn door.

I immediately touched it. i shouldn't have done that,

because immediately i did, a huge surge ran through me, i didn't know what to do. My hand is not removing and now i am here looking like an i***t trying to remove my hand so i will stop the electric shock. It feels like a zillion volts of power is running through me.

I feeling hot and cold all over. I tried to remove it. All the power rushing through me feeling good and bad at the same time. ai didn't know what to feel.

And right when i thought i was going to scream for help, i feel so dizzy. black spots dancing in vision.

I finally embraced the darkness and everything went dark.

Rose' POV

I finally going to America. Finally leaving this hell of a place. I didn't even want to come.

I love being in California. It feels more like home than home itself.

I came for some stupid family annual party. It was meant to be for the family to bond. But it is more for showing off and trying to see who is better off. And being invited to this party is a huge honour for most people.We are wealthy. i guess.

i really need to leave . if not for my parents threatening me with my school, i really wouldn't be here.

I left for the airport. My parents driver taking me to the airport. I tried calling my best friend, Hope. I love her.

How we met is a story for another day.

Hope didn't pick up her call, which is weird cos she always pick up my call no matter what and where she is. Even in class, we got a lot of punishment for that even the teachers and principal got tired of us.

I left a voice note on w******p for her that i was already boarding my flight and i switched off my phone.

Hours later and i landed in California.

I switched on my phone to see if i had any messages and that i did from the family and none from Hope.

I frowned and dialed Hope's number again but it just kept on ringing.

i hailed a taxi to take me to Hope's huge house. I sucked in my anger and worry and finally we got to her house.

I paid the driver and better . ...I saw Greg, Hope's weird security. I greeted him and he responded with a nod. He helped me with my luggage and we went in.

"Poppy!!!" i screamed her name immediately i entered her living room.

I rushed to the stairs.

"Greg, Have you seen Hope Today?" I asked Greg

"No"

He answered quickly

"she hasn't picked her calk through out today, she went to that door and now she disappeared, i just hope nothing happened"

Greg just ran upstairs not even waiting for me or telling me anything...no surprise there...

I quickly followed him.

"What happened, Greg"

but did he answer me? No

We got upstairs to the room that she can't open.

I looked down and saw a very unconscious Hope,

The strange thing is not even the fact that she is unconscious. it is the fact that she is glowing a very bright blue right now, half floating in the air.

"Oh my God!!!"

Greg went to the door and pulled something from the door that looks like Hope's amulet. I thought it couldn't remove and now it is on the door.

He placed the amulet on her body and the thing just floated to her neck and fix itself there.

You know i have seen some crazy s**t in my life and that is saying a lot. Like when i saw some idiots who thought it was a great idea to mix weed,and mint and poured it in a bottle of whiskey and decided to use it to cook steak .

But this, this is really crazy and so unreal.

And super awesome!!!!

Anyways Hope just burned out and then she just dropped.

"Hope?"

she opened her eyes and looked at me ....

Her eyes, her eyes were a strikingly blue colour. Showing a bit of electricity. Sparkling and striking .

Her entire eyes.

I was a little bit scared before she just stood and came right in front of.

"Rose" she whispered my name and just dropped right in front of me.

Well f**k me
