Steven pov ;

I was sleeping nicely

When all of the sudden

I Heard, glass breaking from downstairs

Me wondering what was that noise

And thinking that a thief came and stole my television

So i took my baseball bat

And went downstairs quietly as possible

Just to find broken shards of gold

At this point i was thinking did a thief came or

did someone blessed me with wealth.

Just when i was about to touch the gold

A guy came out of nowhere

And was standing Infront me

"Hello" he said

As i flinched away from him

What do you want  from me

As i pointed out my baseball bat at him .

The mysterious guy :

I just wanted to make a deal with you

* As he picked up the rose * from the broke shards of gold on the floor*

Steven: what deal not letting my guard down ?

Mysterious guy : i want to give u my powers, in return i will spare u alive

Then he mumbled some words that i can't understand

And he turn the rose into gold with his bear hands

I could not believe this , i was wondering if it was true or not

So i said , what do i needed to do ?

" You just need to hold my hands "

* As he held his hands out *

I was blinded by my greed for gold

As i put my hand on his

Just then i felt something heavy

Running through my veins

It felt like needles injecting me with gold

As soon as i removed my  hands

He disappeared without a trace .

And i woke up

All this time it was just a dream

What a stupid dream i thought

As i got ready for work

And went downstairs i made a cup of coffee

And turned in the news channel on my tv

I could not believe, the first thing i heard on the news was

The news : 

"A criminal escape from prison "

"And he has the power to turn" anything into gold

"If u see this man call the authorities "

"For he is very dangerous"

I was sacred and i remembered what the guy said to turn anything into gold

I tried it out on my coffee mug

And within a few seconds

My coffee mug turned instantly

Into pure gold

I can't believe this

Just then i realised it was not a dream

I was the wanted criminal

I wonder how as i gonna live like this

For the rest of my life .
