Toothless

The Necklace

It was a pretty little trinket or perhaps it was better said it had been at one time- years spent skimming down the river bed had scratched up the gem and the chain had none of that polished shine it must have once possessed. Maybe no one had dropped it recently after all? He turned it over in his hand and jerked as a voice popped up out of no where, tripping backwards and falling into the mud. He swore no one was here a moment ago- no one but him and the whispering wind. The girl could have only have sprouted out of the ground, there was really no other explanation for it but he looked around for one anyways. “N-n-no!” He stuttered frantically and sprung back to his feet. “I just slid down from the road. I didn’t even know anyone was in the river.”

Had she been in the river? He looked to the angry river as rain began to pelt it once more. “What were you doing in the river? Are you okay?!” And holy shit was that blood on her dress? A deep maroon that grew no thinner despite the water coming down- it did not seem as if the rain even touched her. He swallowed hard and edged backwards towards the slope.

And done.

The Necklace

A storm had taken the sky in violent flashes of lightning and great sheets of rain but when Tom had set off on his way home he honesty hadn’t thought it would get this bad. It caught him off guard and he quickly found himself without cover and on slick ground as he leapt out of the way of a passing car. He lost his footing in the mud and slipped down the bank to the angry wind stirred river- and was caught among water weeds. He was unhurt so gradually he righted himself, trying to avoid taking an undesired swim.

The rain had momentarily let up some and he looked for a way back up the slope but it was something else that caught his eye first as a flash of lightning arched across a sky. A reflection of its glow caught up in the weeds and he carefully moved closer to investigate. A stone- no a gem delicately shaped, had a chain wrapped among the reeds. A necklace?

He hooked his finger around its chain and pulled it up, spinning it around so the charm dropped into his palm. Someone must have lost it- who knew how far the current may have carried it.

The Necklace

Name: Tom Harvener
Age: 16
Bio: (this will be brief) His family had always lived within the town of Jordan- as stubborn as their ancestors who helped settle it centuries ago. So even when their daughter had died in the massacre they refused to pack their things in leave unlike most of those that lost a child that night. Tom had been in elementary school when it happened and his sister may have been a bully but at that young impressionable age he had only seen her in the best light- she cared about him so how she acted at school left no impression upon his view of her. Losing her had been crippling. His parents moved past it but everything about their house, about this town, dredged up memories of her… about that closed casket funeral and the peek he had taken at her body after her death.

People eventually stopped taking about it, stopped trying to figure out what happened. It was like all those deaths meant nothing and eventually… he knew to give up on trying to convince them otherwise. His parents had stopped listening a long time ago, stopped acknowledging him shortly after his sister’s death. Perhaps they were afraid that he would end up the same way but this only made the loss of a sibling hurt more because it meant there was no one left for him growing up.

She's fine, just a bit psychotic I'm sure.

If you feel you can use a character whose past is only partially of your creation than I'm fine with it.
I tend to feel detached from characters when I do that.
