Brittany: The Secret Stone, Chapter 1

By Brittany Langford

A long time ago, in 1847 there was a stone that caused a lot of damage to the people who had held it in their hands or on their bodies. A man named Zatherith had held the stone in his position. The stone had power to make anyone who held it turn evil and wish to destroy the world.

The year was 1992 and James was going hiking. His foot slipped on a rock, and he tumbled through the woods. As he finally came to a stop, he sat on a rock and saw a glowing rock in the dirt. He curiously picked it up. His eyes closed for a moment, and he envisioned that he had gone back into time… all the way back to the year 1847.

James opened his eyes and saw a man – Zatherith – staring at him from his horse. James immediately began to run deeper into the forest. The man started to chase him. Suddenly, James stopped. As the horse charged right toward him, it disappeared and James returned to the woods and wondered what had just happened.
