The cursed gem

Not alone after all

Alchemist was froze in shock. It was a cookie. But it wasn't an ordinary cookie. It was a cookie that was on one of the missing posters! Even tho she could hardly remember their face features, she was able to remember the hair colour. It was stuck in her head since she first saw it. She really liked it, she even wanted to have it as her hair colour. She was really surprised and.. terrified. But the cookie didn't look normal. They had something red in their eyes. A shape of a crystal. A very similar crystal. Their face expression was as empty as their mind.
-'H-hello?'
Alchemist finally got the courage the speak. The cookie, if I can even call it a cookie, didn't respond. They were just standing there, staring right into Alchemists eyes. Alchemist didn't know what to do. Should she run? Should she hide? Should she try to communicate with them? Suddenly, she felt her bag become a bit heavier. The creature immediately looked at it. Alchemist turned her head to see better what has happened with her bag. There was a red light coming through it. She then heard a noise coming in front of her. She quickly turned her head and saw the creature running towards her. She jumped back in fear. The creature missed her and fell onto the ground. As they were getting up, she started running towards the hallway. She didn't look back but she knew well she was being chased. She didn't understand what was happening but she knew that she needed to get out of the cave fast. As she was running, her bag was getting heavier and heavier. Eventually, her whole body began to feel weaker. With every step she took, the bag was getting heavier and heavier. She could also feel the bag burning right in her hands. Altho there was no fire nor smoke, she could feel it burning her whole body. But she couldn't stop running. She knew that if she'd stop, something bad would happen. So she kept running. With tears in her eyes, she kept going. Finally, the exit has appeared right in front of her. When she had exited the cave, she turned right. After a while the only sound she could hear was her footsteps. The creature has disappeared somewhere in the darkness of the Forbidden Forest.
