The Curse of the Heart Shaped Locket
Yuri’s Treasure
Once upon a time, there was a Woman named Valery, and a Man named Denzel. Valery was 26, and a worker at the National Clinc for retired Workers, while Denzel being 28 and worked at the cleaners. They both lived in an abandoned old town in Michigan, Wyoming with not many people around to talk to or see. There was never any sun in the area to have fun and the city would be so quiet that you could hear a fly buzzing in the street , and even sitting down inside your house.
Valery and Denzel lived a normal typical life of starting the day with breakfast , and then heading off to work. Denzel never had time to stick around so he would be gone to work after breakfast around 7:00 AM. As for Valery, she would stick around the house and take care of all chore responsibilities and handle all business inquiries so that they would live comfortably. After Valery would eat breakfast , and finish taking care of the house she would then leave for work. She would not think about leaving home without her heart shaped necklace that she would wear everyday and was given to her by Denzel on their Third Marriage Anniversary.
Once Valery made it to work she’d have a few patients that she would check up on and and take care of their responsibilities for the day. She made it her best interest to do her job the best, and take care of each patient equally. Her favorite patient was Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a retired Softball player who had suffered traumatically from a Mental Disorder. She was only at the age of 40 but had to retire due to a fractured ACL, and had no option but to live inside of the Retirement home. Valery would make it her job to check up on Elizabeth at least 3 times a day, make sure that she ate and changed her clothes if needed.
Valery inquired on going to work with her Heart shaped locket visible for everyone to see. The heart shaped locket had diamonds around the heart with a Red Ruby in the inside of it. It was very fashionable for a woman to wear considering that it was a fine charm. One day, Elizabeth had seen her charm she was wearing and became very fascinated! She asked Valery where did she get her charm, and wondered if she could get one of her own, but not knowing that her charm was specially designed from Denzel and made specifically for Valery herself, as so that’s what Denzel claimed. There was NO WAY POSSIBLE that Elizabeth could find that exact charm anywhere.
The Next day that Valery came in to work Elizabeth was laid next to her bed on the floor , and barely could move a muscle. She told Valery that she had a bad dream and rolled off of the bed and couldn’t move afterwards. Valery tried helping her off of the floor and Elizabeth took a real good glance at the Ruby implanted heart shaped necklace. Once Valery helped Elizabeth off of the floor and onto the bed, Elizabeth wanted to make one inquiry that she noticed about the necklace. She had told Valery that her necklace actually looked very familiar and that she may have seen her mother with that exact charm in the past when she was just an infant. Valery denied her with speed, and told Elizabeth that was her necklace and it haven’t been on anyone else’s neck before. Elizabeth took what Valery said in heed and assumed that she was correct on what she said.
Once Valery made it home from a long day of working , she asked Denzel how did he come up with the idea for her Anniversary charm and where did he get it from? He told Valery with a straight and loving face that it was a creative idea thought up in his head and that he’d bought it from the town store just a few blocks away. Valery took what Denzel said and figured that he was correct considering the fact Elizabeth said that the charm was actually an old charm of her mothers’.
Valery showed up to work the next day with thoughts on her mind about the heart shaped locket. She had asked Elizabeth more on how did the necklace look exactly and did she have any pictures of her mom wearing the Charm that she wore from years ago. Elizabeth contemplated on showing her pictures of her mother considering the fact she was very traumatized on her parents dying at her age of thirteen. Once Elizabeth showed Valery the pictures of her mother , she was very shocked to see that was the exact same charm that her mother wore when she was younger and that Elizabeth was telling the truth.
Valery rushed back home with urgency. She intended on Asking Denzel again where did he find the heart shaped locket that he’d brought her and what was the real story behind the necklace. Once Valery hopped into her car she fastened her seatbelt , and looked into her rear view mirror. There she notice a Deep Blue sight of water as it appeared as if she was sitting In the middle of the Ocean in the nighttime. Valery snapped out of it and realized that she was daydreaming. She continued to gather her things in her car and drive home.
On Valery’s way home she noticed everything was pitch black. She even seen a quick shadow of Elizabeth when driving, but it was only in her imagination. When she finally made it home, Denzel was no where in sight. She called his phone several times but no answer. Once she sat all of her belongings down to relax and get settled , a ring came to the door. It was Elizabeth again , and she demanded for the heart shape necklace! Valery immediately shut the door and Opened it back. No one was there in sight .
Valery then gathered all of her belongings and rushed back to the retirement home where Elizabeth was to explain all of the fictional things that was happening to her. Elizabeth was no where in sight! She then received a call from the police station saying that Denzel had been hung inside of the bathroom at his workplace. She dropped her phone instantly and bursted into tears. She figured that it was her necklace causing everything to happen.
Valery drove to the nearest river in consideration on tossing the necklace inside of the water and getting rid of it. Once she pulled out of the retirement home she noticed that Elizabeth was sitting right behind her in the backseat. Elizabeth wrapped a tied wrope around Valery’s neck with intentions on choking her. She felt no grasp of oxygen for a good minute until she realized that it was all a daydream again. Valery quickly took off her necklace and did research to see if she could find any information on the Red heart shaped locket and she did!
The Red Heart shaped locket actually came from another dimension that was filled of magical creatures and no man’s land. Which meant everything was made up of whatever one’s mind created and supernatural activities. The Locket actually belonged to the Queen of their universe and Elizabeth’s actual Mom, “ Lord Yuri” and had been on a hunt for the Ruby for over 50 years. When doing more research on the necklace, Valery stumbled upon a reading stating that only if she was to put the necklace onto Elizabeth, then she would set herself free and the curse would be uplifted. Which was very hard considering the fact that Elizabeth would only show up if she was daydreaming, which was caused by wearing the necklace.
Valery rushed back to her vehicle to grab the necklace. Once she entered the vehicle she noticed that Lord Yuri was sitting behind her in the backseat. Valery didn’t have a chance to even grab the locket . Lord Yuri smoothly put her hands on Valery’s neck and snapped her neck breaking it , and killing her. Lord Yuri reached for her Heart shaped locket slowly with her long fingers the size of freshly brought pencils, and exited to her rightful dimension.
