The necklace was always a mystery to him. Two years ago, during summer vacation, he found it washed up on a beach. No one claimed it, so he kept it. It was a real beauty, with its golden chain and the locket itself. It was locked, though, and Patrick didn't have any key. He didn't give it much thought. It was just a random locket.
She stole a key. What could she say? It was beautiful, and what she called a home needed some decoration! It was normal-sized, and, shockingly, key-shaped. Ora kept it, of course. What type of trouble could a key get her in, anyway?

So here's the deal: I'm fifteen, practically invisible in my own family, and now being shipped off to Grandma's house for the summer. Just when I thought things couldn't get more predictable, she hands me this old, mystical necklace, and suddenly, bam-I'm in way over my head. Apparently, I'm the proud new owner of a one-way ticket to a world where old egyption society rule over realms of light and darkness, and mythical creatures actually exist. But here's the twist-this isn't just some magical vacation spot. People are after me, or more specifically, the necklace, because it's the key to power in this world. And guess who's expected to protect it? Yup, me. The worst part? No one asked if I was interested in saving the world. But you know what? If they think I'm backing down... they clearly don't know me very well.Complete

Chasing the Browns
Life was going okay...until I found out I had a stalker. That's when everything changed. ~~~~~ That’s when I heard the fence give way. I bolted for my left and sprinted as fast as I could. The rain burned my eyes and I had no idea where I was going. I was running blindly in a dark alleyway to God knew where. And, somehow, I knew I wouldn’t make it through without being caught. All of a sudden, I felt myself hurtling through the air. I let out a scream when my head made sickeningly painful contact with the slimy ground beneath me. That’s when he caught up with me. That’s when he dragged me to my feet, only eyes visible beneath his black mask. That’s when he whispered, ‘Keep still, and you won’t get hurt.’ Stupidly and feebly, I thrashed in his grip. And that’s when I caught a glimpse of the wet blade that glistened with rain drops, before he pressed it against my throat. Cliche, with a twist. Enjoy :) (It's better than it sounds, I promise!) #166 Mystery/Thriller #230 RomanceComplete
