A Golden Locket

(Outside of an estate home where 3 girls are playing with a red ball.)

Lana's voice: I had a beautiful home, lovable parents, and good friends. I had the wosrt sister's I could ever have! They were Elena and Amanda, I hated them. They were so spoiled, to smart, and got what they wanted, but I never thought they would put me to death. Here is my home and here is Elena, Amanda, and me, were are young, Elena probably 9, Amanda 8, and me 6.

Lana: (singing) Over the road I come to you, to listen to the things I knew, every heart is special, but one will always b-

Amanda: stop singin' and give me the ball, it's my turn!

Lana: Give it back it is mine, you know that give it back!

Amanda: Come and get it!

( Lana pushes Amanda to the floor, she grabs the ball until Elena grabs the ball from her and slaps her out of the way) 

Elena: it's mine now ( she starts to laugh)

( Lana begins to cry)

Amanda: You big baby! Get lost and go hang out with that boyfriend of yours, Ethan. He ought to help you!

( a boy probably around 7 comes up to the girls)

boy: leave her alone, what did she do to you!

Elena: Shut up or we will beat you up! 

Amanda: Go home Ethan or else I'll give you another wedgie!

Ethan: So i'm willing to fight for myself( puts up hands to his face)

( Elena and Amanda laugh to the floor)

Elena: There's no chance you're smaller then Lana!

Amanda: Fine if that's what you want, I'm comin for you.

( Amanda and Elena grab Ethan by the arms and take off his pants, Elena grabs the pants and throws it in a mud pile as Amanda grabs Ethan's back underwear as he screams)

Lana: Stop it ( she jumps on Amanda as Elena pushes her off and slams her onto the floor. Lana hesitates and closes her eyes, bruises all over her face. She can hear Ethan cry to the top of his lungs. She calls his name several times until she's.....out.)

( Lana, Elena, and Amanda are waiting for there parents to enter their house as there good friend who babysat them, Sydney. She had blonde hair and glasses, she was thin and watched t.v.)

Mr. and Mrs. Druet enter the driveway they come out of the car with their suitcases and 3 boxes of presents. Mr. Druet has blonde hair and is quite tall, his wife Mrs. Druet was a little shorter than him she had dark skin and dark brown long hair.)

Elena: I hope it's a great present, I want it to be a teddy bear, no a gameboy or a t.v.

Amanda: Daddy probably got me a pony!

Lana: (whispers) keep dreaming.

Amanda: What!

Lana: nothin

Elena: You better shut that mouth of yours!

Sydney: Hey stop it, girls be nice or else i'll tell your-

Elena: Daddy!!!!! 

Amanda: Where's our presents!

Mr. Druet: Oh it looks like your mother and I couldn't afford anything so we just bought us our own stuff ( he hugs the girls.)

Elena: but I wanted a present!

Amanda: Me too!!!!!!!!

( they whine)

Mrs. Druet: Oh Robert don't push it!

( Mrs. Druet enters the room.)

Robert: Natalie you spoiled it! Oh okay here!

( 3 prestents wrapped in pink boxes were in his hand, Amanda and Elena grab theirs)

Natalie: Ooh mija what happened to your face!

( Lana looks at her sisters as they stare at her as if they're going to kill her!)

Lana: Bike accident.

Sydney: Oh I didn't notice that, well I guess I better be going I've got the S.A.T.S comin up, bye.( sydney walks out the door with her bag and shuts the front door behind her)

Natalie: Let's go wash it off.

Robert: Wait, her present!

Amanda: What's this? ( she pulls out a ring, it has an emerald on it.)

Robert: It's a ring, just from us.

( Amanda observes it, she kind of looks angry)

Amanda: (whispers) I don't like it!

( Elena opens her gift. It is a platnium bracelet, with diamonds all around it, she looks disgusted)

Elena: Why couldn't bring any candy?

Natalie: Because this is something that could last forever.

( Lana opens her gift, she pulls out a golden locket with her birthstone on it, aquamarine. She stared at it, then a brightlight appears shining into her eyes hard wind blows, she closes her eyes. The stone glows stunningly, it is hard to move its black out all there is is light, soon everything goes back into the Druets livingroom.)

Natalie: Lana, Lana?

(Lana opens her eyes)

Lana: What was that?

Natalie and Robert: What was what?

Lana: (wonders why nobody saw anything, she is frightened but dares not to tell) nothing.

Natalie: Are you sure your alright?

Lana: yes.

( Lana looks to her sisters, there faces were red. She could see that they were jealous, she had a very strange. yet unique locket. Lana opens it, inside was her mother on one sidethe side was her father.)

Lana: Thank you, I love it. It's wonderful!( she hugs her parents)

Elena: Why did she get something better!( she whispers to Amanda)

Amanda: She's such a spoiled brat!

( That night Lana is in her room getting ready for bed, while Natalie is opening her covers to the bed.) 

Natalie: Well your beds ready.

Robert: Oh. Well I love you.

( Natalie kisses Robert.)

( Back in Lana's room)

Lana's voice: I never told anyone about that day, but everyday I kept wanting to keep the locket on me so my sisters could take it. I still wondered if the girls would do something really bad to me I was scared of them.......really... scared.

( in the Druet's living room)

( Elena and Amanda are sitting on the floor)

Amanda: My ring is all messed up.

Elena: My bracelet looks like crap.

Amanda: I wish they would have given us the necklace.

Elena: She doesnt deserve it!

Amanda: It's not fair why does she get everthing so nice.

Elena: I dont know, but you know what sometimes I wish I can kill her!

Amanda: Yeah maybe throw her into the bush and stab her 20 times.

Elena: Yeah she would cry hopelessly.

( they start laughing)

( the front door opens, Lana steps in)

Lana's voice: Yet I knew my sisters always had evil plans on me, but sometimes I was afraid one of their plans would be really serious.

Lana: Where's mom and dad.

Amanda: Why?

Elena: So you could cry to them like you always do.

Lana: Cause I just wanted to know and no that was along time ago, I'm not as weak as I use to be.

Elena: How weak?

Amanda: ( laughs)

Lana: Oh shut up!

Amanda: (sticks up finger) make me!

( Elena and Amanda laugh until they hit the floor.)

(Lana runs to her room)

Elena: Okay we really got to get her next time!

Amanda: She thinks shes better than us.......... yeah right!

( Lana rubs the stone on the necklace, she closes her eyes and thinks. She opens them. She is somewhere else, she see's Ethan all in black, he's looking at a gravestone. He puts roses next to it and leaves. Lana looks to see the name carved on the gravestone, she reads it it says " A lovely child, and a great sister. Under it said Lana Emily Druet. Lana looks back she falls into a black hole, as she's falling Lana screams, but fears no one can hear her. The black hole turns into her room, Lana's eyes are filled what tears, she didnt get it.)

Lana's voice: From that day, I didnt get what the stone was trying to tell me, but I had a feeling it had to do with my sisters.
