Locked together

Rose

I am in slow-mo. I close my eyes and get ready to die. I hear coach yelling. I hear Brody laughing. I hear the bullet coming stright at me. But then I hear this giant rip. And I get this weird feeling. Its kinda like how you get butterflies in your stomach when you get sared but this is all over my body. And then I hear a click and all the noise stops around me.

"Wow Mae. The first time I get to meet you and I have to save your life. The council wasnt kidding." Her voice was sounded so relaxing. It was like the sound of the ocean late at night when no one else is around. I slowly open my eyes to see a beautiful girl who is shining with a white light arond her. She is smiling at me. Her blonde hair is long and braided. Her glasses and a little far down on her nose. She looks like some model. She takes her eyes off me and looks towards Brody.

"You know I dont like people trying to hurt my locker pretty boy." Her face goes from smiling to serious in a matter of seconds. I must look like a dork still on the ground gawking at my own locket.I get up and stand slightly to the side of her.

" Master." Brody's locket says. He turns his head towands her.

"We should not battle her. I can sence that she does not bind to this world well." I freeze. 

"Are you trying to say she is powerful Tia?"

"Yes master." Brody smirks.

"Then bring it on." I watch as Tia charges atempting to hit my locket but she easily kicks Tia to the ground. And turns to me.

" Mae do you think I can summon something or would it be better for you if i didnt?" She asks

"Um do whats best." She smiles at me again.

"As you wish."

I watch as she pulls a staff out on nowhere. Whe Tia charges again my locket takes the staff and puts it right through her stomah with not event a sweat. Tia starts to dislove.

"Sorry master. I have failed." Brody looks shocked.

"Now pretty boy. Leave my Mae alone ya hear." The magic walls fall as Brody nods his head still quiet.

"Good pretty boy. Now go make sure your locket is ok. And listen to her more." Brody walks away with that coment. And my locket turns to me.

"Sorry im so late. More like years late." She smiles

"They needed to find a locket strong enough so it wouldnt die when you tryed to summon it." I nod my head at her words. But all im thinking is 'OMG I HAVE A LOCKET!!!!!!!' 

"Welll right now you should get used to the fact im here. Sommon me whenever you need me." I nod. And she starts to disolve.

"Wait. Whats your name?" She smiles at me again.

"Rose." And with that she is gone. I sit there for a couple more seconds before I get my body working right. She was absolutly beautiful. I wonder if she thinks I will be a good locker? She seamed to go quickly.

"Mae that was amazing." Don says. I smile and nod at him. Ms.Vana walks up to me.

"Well Mae. I showed up to see if you came and I guess you did." I dont feel like talking to her. So I nod and walk away. No one follows. No one cares. But now I have someone who cares. After are parents died my brother seperated himself from me slowly. At first it was just him trying to keep up with everything but after awile he went out of his way to avoid me. I didnt know why but he did. Its been so long since I felt like I might actully have someone to watch out for me. Most lockets and lockers are friends. Some lockers treat their lockets like slaves. Some lockets treat there lockers like they are nothing. I think my locket and I are going to be friends. I didnt know where I was going but I didnt want to summon my locket in my dorm. I didnt feel it was good enough. I go to the pond the school has. Its kinda ugly and gross. But I still like it because no one comes here. My brother showed it to me when we would still talk. He said it used to be pretty and everyoone would fight for spots arond the water. Now only I come here. I sit down on a roting dock and look out at the pond. Then I freeze up. How do I summon a locket? 

"Ugh. I am so hopeless."

"Your right." I whip arpund as fast as I can to see Rose standing there with a smile one her face. I frown. I though we were going to be friends. She laughs.

"I was joking relax." She walks next to me and sits down so are legs touch.

"Oh sorry. I dont spend much time with people so I dont know what a joke is or if like there beening real and think stuff." I look down. I dont want her to think im famous or popular but I didnt want to sound this poor.

"Thats ok. Its kinda my fault. I didnt want to be a locket so I keep you waiting these years." I look up at her smiling down at me. She really is pretty. She is the prettyist girl I have ever seen. She frowns.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I snap out of my trance and look down blushing.

"Sorry. Im making this weird. I was just thinking that your really pretty." She laughs.

" Yea. Lots of people say that but I think that beauty dosent matter if you dont want anyone to notice you." I just nod having no idea what she means. 

"So. I am guessing you just wanted to talk." I look at her.

"Um yea. I guess I just kinda wanted to know more about you and what your like and what not."

" Well. You are my first locker. I am only 17. My parents dont like me beause I out shine them. Unlike most lockets I have feelings and actully like people and like to have fun and what not. Yup dats bout it." She smiles and laughs at the end.

"You laugh a lot." Shit I feel stupid I shouldnt have said that.

"I mean I like your laugh its nice." She laughs.

" I like you Mae but I would never change who I am for you." I nod. I hear my phone ring.

"Hello?" Omg its my brother. My brother NEVER calls.

"Mae. I am going to be at your dorm in ten be there. Bye." He hung up. I havent seen my brother or talked to him for 4 monthes ever since my sweet 16. He never talks talks to me. I sigh. 

" Lets go Mae." Rose and I walk to my dorm in silence to find the most disturbing site.
