I didn't know what to believe. Except I was already, ready to wake up from this dream. And be at home safely with my grandmother. Who must be worried sick to death about me. I don't know if Grandma will ever be her normal self again.
"You've got this, girl," said the friendly, male voiceover from inside of the glowing purple jewel. "The shadow monsters trying to escape the Other Side aren't going to do anything to do you. Until they get you to believe they are real and in danger of causing mischief with your gifted curse. Take this jewel and let it give you all the power you can handle. To stop the shadow monsters from getting out of control," he said.
"What do they want from me?" I asked the glowing purple jewel in my hands. There was a strike of lightning coming from the dark stormy night sky. It zapped the glowing purple jewel I had in my hands. And I dropped the glowing purple jewel I carried with me.
It broke into shards of little glass pieces. And I knew I was in serious trouble! The two goblin kids tried to pick up the scattered remains of the broken purple jewel.
"This can't be happening," I groaned and complained. Trying to put the shattered purple jewel together, it was no use. "What do we do, now?" I asked the two goblin kids, impatiently.
Suddenly, it got quiet. "Stand back, girl," said the friendly, male goblin. I backed away from them. They started humming and waving their green, pudgy arms over the broken purple jewel.
The jewel started to moving and vibrating. The little shattered glass of pieces started to float in the air. I turned and looked away. I was scared the glass might start flying at me.
Instead, the two goblin kids made the purple jewel magically put itself back together with their charmed magic. My eyes grew wide with excitement! "How can this be?" I asked them. They smiled and giggled. As I snatched the glowing purple jewel floating in the air.
"Wow! I am so grateful you two did this for me!" I said, happily. The glowing purple jewel felt warm against my cold hands. "The shadow monsters don't know anything about me," I told them.
The goblin girl nodded and put a warm, comforting hand on my hands, covering up the purple jewel. "I know how much the shadow monsters are going to hate and fear you are with some fairy tale make-believe creatures who are helping you," she said.
"But not to worry, young miss!" said the male, goblin kid, smiling. "You've got nothing to be afraid of. We have been fighting with the shadow monsters ever since the beginning of our make-believing habitats in Supernaturalville," said the friendly, male goblin child.
I held the glowing purple jewel pendant in front of me. It was glowing and I couldn't stop starring at my own shadowy reflection back at me. I kept starring at my dark reflection into the shard of glowing jewel.
Suddenly, I gasped. I watched my reflection turn her back into the foggy world it was in. Turn it's head and whipped her hair around her shoulders. And she opened a mouthful of scream! Then, my reflection disappeared.
"No!" I almost dropped the glowing purple jewel in my hands, again. But I quickly caught before it fell. The two goblin kids gathered closer to me. "There was another girl trapped in the jewel! She almost looked like my reflection. Only it seemed to be in danger of something in the darkness of the jewel," I explained.
The little girl goblin laughed nervously. She huddled over my shoulder. To look at my glowing purple jewel. "There's nothing there, dear," she said. "I'm sure it was trick of the light from the full moon," the girl goblin said.
I started to hand the glowing purple jewel back to the goblin kids. They backed away from me. The two goblin children weren't accepting it back. "I can't accept having this gift. It's too much responsibility," I said, truthfully.
The little goblin girl shook her head, sadly. "You have so much potential, young miss," she said. "You are strong enough and mature enough to hold onto something to give you all the magic you will need. Those creepy shadow monsters don't know what's coming," the goblin girl said.
It didn't make sense. I could have sworn I saw a reflection of my shadow screaming for help. Coming from inside of the glowing purple jewel. But if it was all an illusion, what was there to believe about the shadow monsters who were coming to defeat the fairy goblins from ever existing again?
Then, the purple jewel in my hand glowed and got warm in my hands again. "Emma, the power you hold will be great enough to take out what is not meant to be make-believe," the male voiceover coming from the purple jewel said.
I didn't have any plan to protect myself from the shadow monster apocalypse from getting much closer. "I'm just a girl," I answered the male narrator. "What can I possibly do to make the monsters wish they'd never were coming for us?" I asked.
The purple jewel in my hand glowed and laughed wholeheartedly at me. "You will know what to do, when the time comes, my dear," said the male voiceover coming from the purple jewel.
I started to cry. I was so scared. But the two goblin kids walked over to me, to comfort me. "There, there, dear," said the little girl goblin, still smiling. "Everything will get better. Once you face off the shadow monsters from ever being real," she said.
"Yes, Gretchen is right," said the glowing purple jewel in my hand. "Scary things should be scared of what you are going to do to them," he continued. "Before they get away with scaring the daylights out of everybody in Supernaturalville," the male narrator said.
I suddenly got queasy at my stomach. I felt like throwing up. Instead, I upchucked some blood from my nervous stomach. And dropped the glowing purple jewel in my hands again. Then, I feel to the ground in agony.
Grabbing hold of the screaming, glowing purple jewel, next to my body, the two goblin kids started carrying my unconscious body away from the graveyard.
The zombies started raising back up from their little coma trance. And walked slowly toward us. They were starring at the glowing, purple jewel in Harold's neck.
"Oh boy," sighed Harold, the boy goblin, uneasily. "We've got to get Emma Heart and her dearest grandmother out of the graveyard before sunrise, tonight," Harold snapped.
Suddenly, as I lay unconscious in their grasps, my grandmother suddenly snapped awake! She grabbed hold of the two goblin kids by their ankles. Making them drop me as I slumped to the ground and awoke with a sore bruise on my stomach.
I turned slowly and looked up at my undead grandma. She was interested in taking Harold's jewel he wore around his neck. "Grandma! No!" I screamed. But she wasn't interested in pushing me around. Grandma shoved me aside.
Slowly getting up, she quickly snatched the glowing purple jewel off Harold's neck. He felt back and hit his head on my tombstone in the graveyard we were in.
Grandma was smiling and dancing around her tombstone. She couldn't be more happier to hold the jewel in her hands. Grandma carefully wore the purple jewel around her neck.
There was a glow of moonlight coming from the dark, stormy night sky. It made Grandma glow. And she suddenly became younger and full of life again. All the undead zombies around her, were scared of what Grandma had become!
"I haven't felt this good ever since I came into Supernaturalville," Grandma said, admiring her beauty in the reflection of the glowing purple jewel.
I tried getting to my feet. But Grandma waved a hand at me. She forced me and the two goblin kids back to their knees on the wet, dirty ground. "If you want to live, I'd suggest we get out of the graveyard before sunrise. Or the zombies walk free in Supernaturalville. They will get the shadow monsters to come after my granddaughter and me," Mrs. Treat told us.
I couldn't believe this was going to get worse before it could get better, again. Because as Grandma kept holding us against our will, the jewel she wore was glowing brightly. And Grandma and the male voiceover coming from inside the glowing purple jewel she wore, let out loud, annoying laughs.
"Please, Grandma! I beg of you!" I whined and begged. Suddenly, the both stopped laughing. And told me to silence my vocal cords.
"Not another word, from any of you all!" Grandma shouted angrily. "Nobody is leaving this graveyard, tonight," she threatened us. "I'm going to let the shadow monsters come. And make them do whatever they want with my granddaughter who doesn't want to believe in make-believe anymore," Grandma said.
I couldn't believe my Grandma! She was not being fair or safe with us! The shadow monsters were coming, rather we'd be ready for them or not.
The staggering zombies gathered and started dancing merrily around my Grandmother, admiring her glowing purple jewel she wore around her neck.
I knew exactly what to do! I pretended to faint...
