The spirit of the locket

I was so sure that the room would be just like I'd left it in that I was quite taken aback when I opened the door and found everything back to normal.

I pinched myself to see if there was really nothing strange and thought that I must have been dreaming it but how? no it has to be real because I certainly wasn't sleeping. then I looked at the tiles and saw that they still had those wierd symbol thingies. They were all jumbled just like they were when I first came to this room. I realised that they must have shifted back to their original places. so I went to the wall and started looking for the brick which could open the heart shape.

All the while my heart was beating fast with all the questions such as what if I never find it? what if it was all fake? or what if it has shifted and never reappears again?

and the locket!! suddenly I remembered that the locket had fallen in the opening.

Just as this thought occurred, I pressed the correct brick and once again the grinding noise came and the tiles started shifting. My heart was by now practically jumping up and down with excitement and I started getting goosebumps. silently thanking my luck I memorized the position of the brick lest I forget it again. The hole had started opening by now and I slowly moved towards it as I didn't want it to pull me in like it had the last time. But this time it didn't and I guess this was because I didn't have the locket with me.

I safely reached towards the entrance and when I peered down I saw stairs this time. I grabbed the torch that I had brought along with me and slowly started going down the stairs.

they seemed to go on forever but finally my feet toched the ground. I saw long pillars at every interval ignited with flames and was surprised. How is this possible? who lit the fire?

Due to the flames, there was abundant light and I saw my locket lying in a corner. I ran towards it and picked it up but there was something unusual this time about it, the crystal heart was now glowing red , bright red which gave an impression that there was red liquid in it. As soon as I touched it, the oval shaped locket split open and flew out of my hand. It lay suspended in the air and from it, a pale ghost like figure emerged........

As soon as I saw it my heart skipped a beat and I started screaming at the top of my voice. Tears started streaming from my eyes and I collapsed out of shock thinking that I'm surely gonna die now ,this is the end!

After a while, I came to consciousness and opened my eyes thinking how in the world was I still alive! my eyes fell on a figure and I nearly passed out again ( I said nearly). the ghost was a woman. She was standing in front of me looking at me with raised eyebrows and folded hands.she had and amused expression which clearly showed that she thought I had a lose nut!

"seriously?" she said in an amused voice tapping her foot as if waiting for me to finish my tantrum.

" are you done screaming and shouting?" she asked again as if me shouting was not required at all and that it was perfectly normal for some ghost to pop out of a neckpiece!

on a closer look, she had her black hair done up in a bun and wore a long white flowing dress. her skin was of a rare pale colour.

"are..are you going to kill me?"I asked her

"of course not!" she replied sounding offended "do you think I am a monster or something?"

I suddenly noticed that she was not exactly real I mean she was like gas, she was shiny and very light. she didn't seem like a ghost at all. I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

" who are you?" I asked secretly thinking that if she attacks me, I can't even bonk her on the head or something because she was not real at all and also I didn't have any thing with me. But in the movies it looks so thrilling!

" I am the spirit of the locket!" she replied breaking my highly imaginative thought process.
