I jolted away   to the smell of something burning. Jumping out of bed and running down the hall to the kitchen.  The fire alarm screamed in my ears and   I covered them to yelled  at  Victoria. Who was standing on a  chair under the  fire alarm  waving  a  towel to clear the smoke.  She  looked at me and yelled something but I couldn’t hear her.  I ran over  the over and turned on the  fan, then took the smoking  frying pan off the burner.  Finally the alarm shut off. I  looked at her  giving her  cut  eye and  she shrugged she shoulders

“  I was  only  tried to  cook bacon?”

“ Do  you always  do that ?”

“ Do what ?”

“ Forget to turn  on the fan and  cook on a  high  temperature?”

“  Well..Yeah?  How else will it  cook.? But I see where  your coming from with the fan thing. Sorry  I woke you up” 

I shook my  head and  my  stomach growled  from the smell of  burnt  food.  I didnt  eat meat so you know I was hungry.

“  its  ok, I wasn’t having a  great dream anyways. What time is it?”

“  Really? What happened?,.. Well  you slept for the  past  13  hours”

“  Seriously?  So wiat  what’s the time?”

“  Dude  its  like almost  11. And  what happened in your dream?”

“ Shit!  I have work tomorrow   i'm so not going  to sleep tonight”

“ Dream!!!”

 I sighed cause I know there was  no way of getting out of this one. 

“ Come out for a  smoked, its kinda  long” She smiled wide and grabbed a plate an on her bacon strips on it, caring it outside with us.

 We    left the door open so the  place could air out and I took a spot leaning on the   railing  looking over  to the lake. She  sat  on the  chair  facing me.  I started with the first dream  I had on the plane and  then the guy that's been stalking me  up until the dream I had today.  I told her about  the  necklace  I found in the lake and the man who was tearing my apartment apart.  I  went  into my  pocket  on my  hoodie where  I  placed the  necklace  and  I  felt something , my  pulse  quickened and I almost  dropped  my  cigg.  Victoria  stared at me  like  I was going to fall  over  or something. She  was on the  edge  of  her seat ready to  grab me. And I  looked up at her and  back down at  my hand .  I held the  necklace from my dream. We  both stared at each other  both of our eyes switching from each other to  my what dangled  in my hand. My  mouth was  open.  I  couldn’t think  of anything to  say  

“  Holy  shit! Hayley are  you  fucking with me?”

 I shook my  head  “ No I seriously  wouldn’t  fuck around  about this”

“  I'm scared now, I don’t think  we should  go out tonight “  I scowled at her

“ We were  going out ?”

“  Ya  but  I think Jake can wait till tomorrow” She  was  completely oblivious to me being annoyed that they were planning on  going out, but I let it slide.

We went back in and sat  around the  table in the  kitchen  the  necklace  laid in the middle  between us.  Nothing was said  but we  both  looked at each other and walked to  grab something to open it up.  I came  back is  a  bobby  pin  Victoria  came back with a  switch army  knife

“ Are you serious?  Your  going  to  ruin it with a  knife”

She looked  down and  huffed back to her room and  came  back with a tiny  kit  that held   mini screw drivers . We  both had  out  way with it  but  nothing opened it  and  nothing  scratched it.

“  its kind a  like magic”

 I looked at her and  laughed” what ?  Magic? You think its magic?”

“ Well why  else would you have  been able to  bring it  from your dream back to reality, and  see  back in to your  apartment? Maybe  that  guy was the  one who burned  it down, you said  it was  like he was  looking for something . Maybe  when  your  parents  gave you that  place  in their will. They hid something there .... Like, the  necklace!”

 I eyed her  “ Dude  your crazy,  so  what,  my  parents were  witches?”

“Actually no, more that  witch and warlock. Sorry  i've been  reading teen fiction lately”  I looked back at the  table and  rubbed my  temples. “  I can tell.”
