I got back to my dorm room to meet Layla, she was on my side of the room searching my closet "What are you doing?" I asked "Nothing much, wanted to borrow a hair brush and you weren't here so I thought I would get it my self" she answered "Ok but next time, wait for me to get back" I said "Okay" she replied."Where are you coming from, what happened to and why do you have injuries?" she asked "Don't worry, I ran into a little trouble outside" I answered then she said "Okay. What's this tiny box, I found in your closet" she asked holding the box in her hand. "I don't even know what it is, it was a gift from my dad" I answered "Okay cool, what's inside it" she asked "I don't know, I was never able to open it" I said. "Okay, where is your hair brush" she then asked as she dropped the box on my shelf "It's on the bottom shelf" I answered then she took it and went to her side of the room.
I was getting ready to go to the bathroom when she said "If you don't know how to open that box, why don't you just ask your dad" then I answered "I can't because both my mom and dad died during the war" "I'm so sorry about that" she said "Don't worry, they died when I was just four and I can't even remember what my dad looks like. I can only remember little memories of my mom, so it's kinda ok" I replied "Okay" she said and I went to the to the bathroom to have a nice long shower.
After I got out of the bathroom, I put on something comfortable and lay on my bed.
After a while I took out the box from my closet and just stared at it for a while. 'I just can't seem to know how I can open it, it was just some dumb metal box and I couldn't even break it open' I thought to myself. I looked at the writing behind it that read 'Happy birthday from dad.' I felt something rolling down my arm, that's when I realized that I was still bleeding from the fight I had just encountered. "Hey Layla, do you have a bandage" I asked but she didn't answer because she had already fallen asleep
Some of the blood dropped on the box, but before I could clean it off. The box started to glow really brightly that the light covered the entire room and then I heard the sound of something unlock. The light slowly dimmed and then the box was open And inside the box was a necklace and a photo. It was a photo mom and someone else. It was a man, his skin was blue and he had red hair just like mine. Behind the photo was a note
'This necklace is very special and it is rightfully yours, never take it off.
Yours truly
Dad.'
I couldn't believe it that after all these years I finally opened it. The necklace had a dark blue crystal on it and it was glowing, I decided to put it on, then when I tried to take it off it didn't come off. I decided that after everything that happened that day I was so exhausted, I shouldn't bother myself about it right now, I'll think about it in the morning.
