“I’m sorry Max... But... I couldn’t let everyone die! It was one for billions!” He exclaimed. I picked up the necklaces and whipped the tears away. I turned around facing him.
“YOU IDIOT! WE HAD A PLAN! WE WERE GOING TO SAVE EVERYONE AND
THEIR ENTIRE SPECIES!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. Everyone stopped on the streets staring at us.
“NOW GO GET ME THAT FUCKING CROWN BEFORE I RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YOUR FUCKING BODY!” I rarely cussed, but right now I felt it to be necessary.
“I... I sold it... To the pawn shop down the street from here...” He said softly. I bit my lip.
“Consider this friendship over.” I said sprinting home to get every last dollar I had.
When I arrived home I got into my sock drew grabbing a large wad of money I had collected over the years. I didn’t ever really buy anything, I had everything I wanted. All my stuff were gifts, my money wasn’t used for any of this stuff.
I ran down the main street where cars drove by rapidly. I caught sight of the pawn shop, I never went in there before, aside from my laptop I didn’t have anything to really pawn, not like I wanted to anyway. I couldn’t believe my eyes, they were closed.
“FUCK!” I shouted. I peered through the glass, there inside one of the showcases, was the tiara. I looked around no one was looking. I sighed.
“This is for you Twilight...” I said softly. I picked up a brick from the ground, pulled back my arm, and smashed the glass to nothing. I ran inside, the class showcase was shut. I had already broken in, breaking one more thing wouldn’t hurt, I smashed my knee into the showcase as the alarms went off, I snatched the tiara, pulled out my wad of cash and left it on the counter.
I went running, running as fast as I possibly could, the wind pressing up hard against my face. I had no idea what to do with the Elements of Harmony, but I thought maybe if I brought them to the place where I found Twilight... Something would happen.
I could hear police sirens when I dived into the forest. I looked around, I saw the playing card on the ground. I laid out all the elements in a line, the tiara in the middle, nothing happened.
I didn’t know what to do, I wasn’t an expert on magic, in fact I didn’t really believe in magic until now! My eyes started watering, I began pounding my fist on the ground. I didn’t know why I cared so much, I just met this girl! Her world didn’t affect mine, so why did I care? I still don’t know, maybe it was the sheer magic of friendship, or maybe it was the thought of the world Twilight described.
I pounded by fist harder and harder on the ground, causing the necklaces and tiara to shake and rattle. My fist were getting red. I pulled back, ready to make one more smash on the ground, but I missed. Instead, I hit the crown... The purple star gem in it, shattered! My hand was bleeding from the shards stuck in my fingers.
Then, a glimpse of hope appeared. The shards started glowing, even the ones in my hand. The necklaces gems began glowing. I held out my hand trying to shake out the shards, but in front of me, a spark lit up. My eyes widened.
I picked up one of the larger shards from the ground and shook my bleeding hand, the spark was larger, and for just a split second, it looked like there was a small, spec of a vortex in front of me. I looked down at the other necklaces.
I picked one with butterflies on it trying to pull out the gems, it was forged on tight. I dropped it to the ground, and stomped on it, I picked up on of the larger shards and shook my hand, a spark came up, it was bigger, and so was the vortex.
I stomped on all other four, assuming the gems were just as tight inside of them. Picking up the largest shard left, I shook my hand as blood dripped from it, this time it did much more than spark. In front of me, a blue swirling vortex... It disappeared a second later.
Tears rolled down my cheeks, not out of pain or sorrow, but out of joy. I started running, and as I did I shook my hand, and ran directly into the portal just as I hopped, from what I can tell, the portal closed right behind me.
