Charm

Chapter 1

Today was the day the tri county faire. Adrien asked me to go with him this year! I think it's a date. One of his friends told me it was just a dare.
"I am so nervous," I said to my best friend.
"Come on, you got this. There is no way this man doesn't like you," Carly said.
"I still doubt it. Are you ready yet?"
"Almost I will be out in a minute." Seconds later she walks out of the bathroom. "Dang girl you are going to blow him away."
"I doubt it but let's go."
    The faire was just like it was every other year but this time there was a new tent that I had never seen before. It was purple with black stripes running down the side.
"We so need to check that out," Carly whispers. Just as she does my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text from Adrien.
"What was that?" Carly questioned.
"It was Adrien, he's not coming," I sighed. "Let's go to the purple tent, it looks fun."
"Sure,"
    I felt something pulling me to the tent. Almost like metal to a magnet. As we walked to the front of the tent I saw a woman. She was slim, her hair was long and grey. She was sitting behind a table covered in a velvet cloth. It had crystals spread across at every angle.
"Hey I have to go, Charles is here." Carly said.
"Ok, text me when you are ready to go." I yelled as she walked away. I turned back to the purple tent. As I stepped closer to the table the woman finally spoke.
"I've been expecting you, Charm." How did she know my name. Had Carly said it? "Come take a seat we have much to talk about."
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"I can't tell you how quite yet," as I walked to the wooden stool the women pulled out a set of cards. She shuffled them 3 times before pulling the top card.
"Ahh adventure, You will soon be offered an adventure. The world depends on your work. You will go through many trials and tribulations, but in the end you will reign victorious."
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You will find out soon enough." she said gently "As for now these are for you." She handed me the deck. "These will lead you on your journey."
"Wait what journey? What is going on?"
"Your destiny my dear Charm. You must stop them."
"Stop who?"
"The king of the Gardenia."
"The king of what now?"
"Gardenia, The cards will explain more."
"Ha sorry miss but that's not my specialty; I am more of a watcher than a doer. I'm gonna go. Have a Good day." I said while walking away at a good pace toward the direction I saw Carly leave.
"You can't escape destiny!" As I turned around to look back at the tent it was gone almost like it was never there. I went and got a pretzel while I tried to figure out what had just happened. As I reached back into my purse to return my wallet I felt a velvet box. I sat at the first bench I saw and pulled out the box. It was a small rectangular box. Made of dark purple velvet. On the top there was a pentagram made of what seemed to be rhinestones. I slowly opened the box and on top there was a note.

This is your destiny. We are all relying on you to save us. We need you.
                                    -Future you

I took out the note and automatically recognised the contents it was the tarot deck from earlier. Not like any I had ever seen before. The design was made around my life. Every person on the cards was someone I cared about. As I am going through the cards I see everyone. I pause when I come across the two cups. It was a picture of Adrien holding two glasses and offering on to the camera. The lovers were Charles and Carly. Each card held someone from my past and I could not figure out why. As soon as I put the card back into the box I looked up. And there was Adrien holding two bottles of rootbeer and offering one to me.
"I thought you couldn't make it."
"Yeah sorry about that my dad grounded me."
"Then how are you here?"
"I snuck out, I wanted to see you." He said, his face turning a blush pink. 
"Y-you wanted t-to see m-me?"
"Of course cutie," he winked. "I wanted to tell you something."
"Y-you did?"
"Yeah, I- um I kinda have a gigantic crush on you and I have for three years!" He blurted.
"You- like- me-" I stuttered.
"Yes you, now follow me." He grabbed my hand and led me to the faris wheel. When we got there I noticed Carly and Charles were there too. It was like a scene out of a movie. We reached the top and the wheel came to a stop. Adrien slid across the seats to move closer to me; his hands lifted up and cupped my cheek.
"Charm, will you be my girlfriend?"
