Josh was browsing through his school's library. He already found some books that talked about sorcery and witchcraft, and at the moment he was looking on one about magical amulets. He was actually surpised the library had so many books on magic. Satified that a least one of these books would help Kyle and Owen, he went to the front desk to check them out.
Waiting at the front desk was his best friend Daniel. Daniel was eighteen and a senior, like Josh. "Hey Daniel" Josh greeted his friend.
They grasped eachother's hands, and did their special handshake. They invinted it while kids, and never stopped using it. "Looks like your doing a bit of 'light' reading." Daniel noticed the trend in the books, "Magic?"
Josh let out a nervous laugh. He was sure his brother and dad didn't really want other people to know about... their situation. But... "Yeah, I found this eagle chain in a shop. Supposidly, it is magical." Josh took out the two halves to show his friend.
Daniel rolled them around in his hand. "Wow, these look pretty cool. What are they supposed to do?"
Josh shfted unconfortably. "Uh... they bring friends closer together. But... I want to read about them first before..."
Daniel rose an eyebrow. "Since when are you supersticous?"
"I'm not... it just... nevermind. I'll tell you about it later. I need to go to class so can you..." Josh insisted.
"Yeah, yeah" Daniel grabbed Josh's books, and ran the scanner over them. He then dropped the necklaces on beside them.
Josh thanked him, and hurried off with the books. He grabbed at the necklaces, but didn't realize he only grabbed one. He left the other one on the counter. Before Daniel could stop his friend, Josh was already out the door.
Josh quickly ran to his car to drop off the books before he headed to class. Before making it to his car though, the other necklace slipped out of his hand.
