Thud thud thud. Went the sound of Emma's feet as she jogged round the park in the wee hours of the morning. She was awake by 5am in the morning going round, from her house, she jogs to the park and back. As she went, she listened to music coming from her earpods which was connected to her phone in the front pocket of her tracksuit.
She stopped at a statue in front of the park then brought out her phone to change the music, after that, she put it back and continued moving. Once she reached her stop, she turned back and went to her house. She reached her front porch and looked up at her house. The lights were still off. Then she checked the time on her phone. 5:20am. There was still time to go one more round to and fro. She turned and continued. As she jogged she felt pleased with herself, she had gone 2 rounds in 20 minutes when it's usually 30.
As she arrived at the statue in the middle of the park, she saw something glowing in the shade of light green and cobalt blue. She thought it was a head light, but then curiosity got the better of her. She went to the spot where the light came from. The light came from inside the sand, it was as if something was buried in it. She began to use her hand to dig out the sand. After 30 seconds, her hand touched something. She continued digging frantically until she brought out a small little emerald the size of a diamond. She picked it up and stood up.
"What's this?" She said in a low tone. She held the emerald trying to examine it. It wasn't there when she passed the first two times. She was still trying to understand all of it when all of a sudden, the emerald began to shmmer and before she knew it, she was engulfed in green light. Her hair began to shine green, her eyes green and she began to levitate. She hadn't reached 5meters above the ground when all of a sudden the light stopped and she fell to the ground unconscious.
Deep in the underworld somewhere under ground a green light shone. "A new guardian has been found." A voice said.
Emma Arnold, a 17 year old sophomore lives with her family in Brooklyn in New York City. She attends Berkeley Carroll School along with her best friend Natalie. She has two annoying siblings who are bent on putting her through hell.
