Jareth Necklace Labyrinth Novels & Stories

And I had no idea how to navigate either. ***** Zelda The atmosphere in the car was heavy, and suffocating, like the air before a storm. I sat stiffly, my mind racing, until I felt a sudden chill against my neck. I looked down and saw it—a diamond necklace, delicate yet dazzling, resting against my skin. The pendant was a teardrop-shaped diamond, its hue a dreamy blend of purple and pink, catching the light with every subtle movement. It was exquisite, undoubtedly expensive, and yet it felt like a weight around my neck rather than a gift.

This empire. The underworld. I ran my thumb over the Abraha insignia. A golden emblazoned crow in mid-flight and twisted the ring so it lay against my palm. I hated the sight of it. The weight. The feel of it was even worse. Suddenly, a thought crossed my head at the resemblance of the black seal and my ring. A symbol that I failed to recognize but hazily suspected. The eerie eyes of an owl. Of course, she chose that over anything else. Sabrina, you cunning piece of shit.

It was a beautiful red dress that was my size as well. Underneath there was a letter; Happy birthday. Wear these tomorrow to your birthday party with no signature or anything on it. I placed it back in the box and opened the jewellery box to see a beautiful diamond bracelet. "what the fuck," I mumbled to myself inside the box was a diamond tester, I laughed to myself What crazy person is sending me real diamonds? I tested the diamonds and they were in fact real. what the fuck?

I took it out of the box and flipped it open. In the first page, was a drawing of a woman, shedding tears that were red as people threw stones at her. Under the image was a small inscription that said, "Under the tears of a mother, there will be wrath that will be unleashed." Wrath? Tears? How was this related to me? I looked closely to the face of the woman and she looked quite familiar. Where did I see her before? I then flipped on the next page to see a bigger version of the necklace symbol. The strangest part of it was that it looked similar to the necklace I picked up from the cave only this time it was red.

The door slammed shut, leaving me in the cold, draining silence. I don’t know how long I sat there, letting the cold stone seep through my muscles and bones. My wrists ached from the tight material used to tie them together, my head throbbed from where I had hit it when I was thrown into the dungeon. But none of that mattered. Because I’d seen it. The necklace. It had been hanging from Lucas’s neck, the emerald glowing faintly under his shirt when he bent to mock me. Katerina’s cursed artifact. Her lost treasure that she was willing to destroy the entire world for.

By the time I returned to our quarters, dawn was creeping across the horizon, and my eyes burned with exhaustion I couldn't satisfy. Something glinted on the floor near our door. I stopped, breath catching. A necklace lay there—a delicate gold chain with a small pendant shaped like a crescent moon. My hand trembled reaching for it. I knew this necklace. Had worn it for years before— Before Bloodstone. Before Laziel's rejection. Before I'd fled with nothing except clothes on my back and the will to survive. I'd thought it lost forever. Assumed it had been discarded with everything else Laziel deemed worthless.

There inside lay a thick tome and a necklace among the shattered glass. “I guess that confirms you’re both connected to the ruling family, and they aren’t all dead. I wonder how that got here and when. It’s the only piece missing from that collection, and many have searched for it on both sides of the war. People died in search of it.” The large pendant hung on a heavy chain. It wasn’t gold or silver. Gemma couldn’t identify the metal. The pendant appeared to consist of a strange flower she couldn’t identify, an intricate sword crossed with a sceptre.

I discreetly handed my citrine stone to Vaidas as we both watched the other three continue to corner Draco. “We are expecting help from you. We know you never help anyone, but Alpha Kael and Prince Vaidas…” Liam did not continue with his words because he leaped forward, and so did the other two with him. I was right; they were targeting him and his treasure because his amethyst necklace was hanging around his neck. It was easy to grab. Draco shielded himself with his arms as he rolled to the ground, avoiding them hitting him. Before I could think, I had already loosened the rope of the cloak around me, letting it slip off the ground.

And why is the old man suddenly playing so close to her? Grandpa opened a velvet box, revealing a stunning blue diamond crystal necklace that caught the light like captured stars. A sharp flicker of possessive jealousy burned through my chest. My hands curled into fists. Why is he gifting her jewelry when I haven’t? She’s my wife. Mine. The thought hit hard, raw and ugly. I didn’t even notice Stanley’s surprised glance. “We have that auction tomorrow, right?” I asked Stanley, eyes still locked on Sarah. “Yes, boss.
