The Necklace That Protects Me novel Chapter 29

Amy and Thomas sat there for a moment thinking over what I had just said. Neither had heard either names before but said they would ask around. I was hoping maybe they would know of my parents.

"There's more." I sighed. This part was a bit harder to admit. "I think the necklace might be what's causing me to shock everyone. And I'm now wondering if it's only those who are supernaturals. When I get mad I get a very strong migraine and the locket starts to burn me. Sometimes it feels heavy. It does it other times too but I don't know what the trigger is."

"Take it off and give it to me." Amy demanded.

I trusted her so I did what she asked. She closely examined the design on the back. Thomas looked at it as well but didn't understand any of it. Amy handed it back, I just cradled it in my hands.

"Part of it does mean protection, I don't recognize the rest but I'll do some research. I don't know what it's purpose is but if your parents put it on you then there's probably a reason. Also silver is kind of like poison to supernaturals, so having it on you alone is some protection from our kind. I wonder... set the locket down on the table and don't touch it." She told me and I followed her direction. Then she grabbed my arm. She jumped a little. "Now put it back on your neck." Again I complied and again she grabbed my arm. This time her face scrunched up in pain.

"Okay, well the shock is still there even with the necklace off, but no where near as strong. But I wonder if part of the enchantment is leaking sliver into your system so supernaturals literally can't touch you.... I've never heard of it being done, but theoretically it's possible. And if it is it must be drawing power from you, which would explain the slow development." I blushed crimson but Amy continued, almost as if she was talking to herself. "The power and knowledge to do this would have had to be a very old and powerful witch, maybe even a council member. Maybe I could ask them-"

"No!" Thomas loudly and rudely interrupted. Amy's cheeks flushed lightly. "We don't know Noel's full story. We don't know who her parents were trying to protect her from. I don't want to announce her to our world that way. Then whoever was after will be able to find her and we'll have no idea who or why!"

When we arrived at the house Amy and I ran through it like little kids! All of the furniture we had picked out was there, truthfully I took a backseat when 'we' were picking furniture out and left it to Amy and Thomas. The house had three grand bedrooms. One for each of us, although I figured it wouldn't be long until Amy was moved into Thomas's room.

We were lounging on the leather sofas watching a movie when someone knocked at the door. I raised an eyebrow at Thomas who shrugged his shoulders and walked to the door. When he opened it I was shocked to see Mr. Lincoln, Michael, and Brian standing there. They seemed shocked to see Amy and I as well.

Mr Lincoln cleared his throat before he addressed Thomas, "if you would please step out for a moment I'd like a word with you." Oh right. He thought we were just oblivious humans, well I was human, but not oblivious. Brian's face looked like he had witnessed a murder, Michael's face was hard but I could see the worry and anger in his eyes. I turned away from him and continued eating my pizza.
