Keres
I stared at him for a while before slowly taking off my necklace and handing it over to him, hesitantly. He held the necklace up to his face and looked at it for a while as if it was some ancient artifact. He put my necklace on his desk and came back to sit beside me. He thought for a few seconds before speaking.
"How long have you had this th-, necklace..!" What was he gonna say before necklace...
"Since I was a kid..? Why're you asking?" It wasn't an expensive piece of jewelry so I don't think he wants to 'sell' it, but then why would he care about it?
"No wonder you're so attached. Listen, that thing is dangerous. It'll corrupt your mind, and make you think and do things that would make others think that you're crazy. Probably why your mom brought you here. The best thing to do for you right now is to keep your distance from it. I'll keep it here fo-"
"No, you listen here, mister. That necklace is what gave me actual good memories, I don't know what your experience is with stuff like this, but you're wrong about my necklace. Aeron is not a bad guy, you know nothing about him!" I practically screamed in his face. Who does this guy think he is!?
"And you do? I know more about demons like him than you do. I grew up with one, trust me." Wait, what? 'Demons'?! He grew up with what?! He's lying? Right? "And this 'Aeron' guy. Tell me about him. Is he the one with the dark eye?... Wait. Do you know Keith?" He sounded scared..while saying the last sentence. Did Keith do something?
"Yes, there were three spirits, specifically. Aeron, Keith, and Rue. And what about Keith? Did he do something wrong?" How does this guy even know about Keith and Aeron? They never told me they were famous in their world?
"Hmm, let's just say Keith has a bit of a problem with him. But, that's nothing I can discuss. First, we just need to fix this piece and then you'll be set. And, I'm still asking for you to let me keep it. It'll do you no good. Especially Aeron, he has a bit of history, so at least try to be careful with him if you don't want me handling them." He rolled his chair to his desk and took some things out of his desk. I couldn't tell what they were, they were just random things I'd never seen before. I looked around the room while he did...whatever it was that he was doing. There was a tiny cooler opposite the desk and window, some frames around the walls, a few shelves with more stuff and pictures and cups. Other than that it was a pretty plain room. I turned back towards Cain but he was standing right next to me.
"WHAT THE- How'd you get here without making a noise?!?" I jumped up. He laughed and sat down.
"Well, I did the best I could. It seems sorta fixed. Here," He handed me the necklace. "Take care of this. I'll be here if you need me. Now get out before your mom comes back in, she's freakin' scary! She threatened me to keep everything that happens here a secret like I'm not supposed to do that already! How do you live with her?!"
I shrugged. "Luckily, most of the time she's either out on a trip with dad or I'm at school. And uh, I'll just go now, I guess." I stood up and walked to the door.
"Alright, see ya later." He waved.
"I don't wanna make this a habit again, sir. How about I just stay at home and enjoy sleeping?" I waved back at him as he laughed and left the room.
I tried to find my way back to the reception while looking at the necklace. There wasn't anything different with it but, it just felt...warmer.
