Annie Locket Novels & Stories

My mother had pressed it into my hand right before the black veins reached her jaw. Not run. Not I love you. Hide it. I sat on the edge of the bed with the locket in my hands and the storm loud against the glass. I pushed my thumbnail into the tiny gap where the hinge had rusted shut. Pushed harder. My nail split. Blood from the cut on my knuckle smeared the silver. The latch gave. The locket fell open. No photo inside. No hair. Nothing soft at all. Just metal. And pressed deep into it... a mark. A design. Sharp angles and no softness anywhere in them. A snake wearing a crown, coiled tight around a broken sword.

If she’s involved in something sinister, I need concrete evidence before I can make any accusations. Raina’s writing seems to be accompanied by an occasional glance at a small, silver locket she wears around her neck. It’s a detail that stands out, and I make a mental note of it. The locket could be a significant clue or merely a personal item—either way, it’s something I need to remember.

"Someone just left a package in our mailroom. I want it screened before anyone touches it." The package was retrieved and examined. It was clean. No explosives, no chemicals, no biological agents. Just a small velvet pouch, identical to the one that had contained my mother-in-law's baby rattle. Inside the pouch was a silver locket, antique and engraved with the initials C.L. Celeste Lovelace. And inside the locket was a photograph of Eve, taken through the window of our apartment, with a date stamp from two days ago. Attached to the locket was a note, handwritten in elegant script.

He whispered smoothly. The blood inside Crystal started racing like her crazy heart. She opened her eyes with her pinkish cheeks and glanced down at her neck. This is the love shape locket which he gave her seven years ago. But it was in her drawer. "How.." "My daughter said someone used to cry every morning while looking at this locket." Rayan cut her words off. Hearing that Crystal closed her eyes in embarrassment and covered her face with hands immediately. "Anne! Ah, this girl. She... your daughter is really so silly." She said shyly.

“Thank you, Liana. You can go now.” “Yes, Miss.” She gave a small curtsy before slipping back through the door, leaving me alone again with the package. Smiling faintly, she tugged at the ribbon and lifted the lid. Inside, layers of delicate white paper concealed something small and glimmering. She peeled the paper back and found a rose gold locket nestled within—a simple, elegant and unique design.. It was a sword that hung on the chain.. It had a blood red ruby on it's pommel which intensified the beauty of it.

“It looks like a necklace of some sort.” I didn’t need to see it up close to recognize what it was. I had that locket specifically made for my friend, Sheila Andercroft, for her birthday last month! My heart seized in my chest and I could barely breath! I needed to get away from the scene before I lost the contents of my stomach.

Then Noah made a sound of excitement. "Found it!" he called. I turned to see him holding up a silver chain. At the end of the chain was a small silver locket, just like I had described. Wait. That was impossible. I had completely made up the story about the necklace. There was no way Noah could have actually found one. Unless... "Let me see that," I said, taking the locket from Noah's hands. It was real. It was actually real. And when I opened it, I saw two small pictures inside. One was of Daisy as a child. The other was of a woman I had never seen before, but who looked exactly like Daisy might look in twenty years.

Lilith gently set Coco down and frantically dug through her bag. “Looking for something?” Alina asked. Lilith didn’t answer. She kept searching until finally she stood up, holding a small silver locket. “Wear this. Quickly,” she said, handing it to Alina. “What’s that? It looks beautiful,” Alina said, taking it. “It’s one of the gifts my grandpa gave me,” Lilith replied as she fastened the locket around Alina’s neck. “Don’t ever take it off.” Alina nodded.

Alpha Kent from the Easter region stood up, he took out a locket from under his shirt and handed it over to Ryley. It was an odd looking locket made up of amethyst stone clutched between a holder made with iron wires. One can see it was handmade. Any ways, when Ryley got hold of the locket alpha Kent smiled seeing the lights emitting from the stone just as the little Alpha's fingers came in contact with it.

Slowly, Selena pulled a delicate brocade pouch from her robe, and even more slowly, extracted a shimmering gold locket. She savored every moment, her expressions vivid. "You recognize this heirloom locket of the Dickson family, don't you? Given only to the principal wife. Guess why I have it? And this letter, surely you recognize this too?" Thunderstruck, Miranda felt her mind blank.
