Chapter 37 Mystifying Force

• ~~~ Allaya ~~~
• My hands are shaking compulsively the moment I lift the photo, my heart tightens for reasons I cannot grasp, it just hurts, it hurts so so badly. Tears are rolling down my cheeks from my watery eyes, why am I crying?
• I wipe them away, I should leave this place, I should not spend a minute longer here. They are probably looking for me, God knows what will occur if they find that room empty.
• I open the door to flee but not before scanning this lovely place for one last time.
• There is another thing that catches my eyes, there is a necklace, one of a kind or so I suppose for the design is really special. White gold with a charm made of small diamonds, polished and cut to match perfection, the letter ‘A’ is engraved on it.
• It’s like that object is calling out to me, I’m drawn to it. Without even realizing, I pick it up gently and what happens next is making my pulse accelerate. The piece of jewelry displays an ethereal glow so bright that it blinds me briefly, just before I feel compelled by a mystifying force to place it around my neck, an unnatural force to which I surrender.
