You check your watch to see how much time you have until you need to get to class, and look up to see Jack with a few of his friends approaching you. Fuck. Sometimes when they were really bored they liked to physically tease you rather than just verbally. Not actually beating you up or anything, just sitting on you, giving you wedgies, pushing you, that sort of stuff. Normally you don't mind, especially when they sat on you, but today wasn't the day you wanted them to do it. You still hadn't fully gotten the hang of using the ring's powers and you didn't want anybody to find out about the ring. They stopped in front of you, and Jack, the leader, took your books and dropped them on the floor. "pick it up fag" he told you. Normally you would just ignore him but wanting him to leave as soon a possible you decided to just do what he said. You bent over to grab your books off the floor and one of his friends, Oliver, pushed your back, causing you to fall on the ground, arms splayed out. Groaning in pain, you felt a pain in your knee but apart from that, nothing else seemed to be injured. You opened your eyes and felt somebody stepping on your left wrist, and saw Jack lean down and look at your left hand, at the ring on your left hand.
"Look guys, the faggot has a pretty little ring. It looks new, would be a shame if somebody stole it" Jack said. A wave of panic went through your chest, if anyone took your ring they would have the power and the ability to do whatever they wanted. You pulled away with your arm but his foot was pressed too hard into it, and all you could do was struggle. He leant down to take the ring, and you moved your fingers around, thrashing your hand in frantic movements to stop him from grabbing the ring. "stay still fag" Jack said. But you couldn't, otherwise he would get the ring. Jack punched you in the jaw and you relaxed for a second, in which he grabbed the ring. A sense of dread went through your whole body as you looked up at him, with the ring between two fingers, looking at the stone the same way you did when you first found it. He slowly lowered the ring onto his finger, and his eyes unfocused while a wind blew through his hair as he experiences the same thing that you did. The darkness, the wind, and the voice. A smile creeps across his face slowly, and he looks down at where you are on the floor. With a movement from his hand, both of his friends are pushed down on their knees, and you are forced up from the ground into the same position as them. You watch as Jack walks in front of the three of you, and wonder what he will do next.
