#WritcoStoryPrompt5
The diamond necklace on the mannequin looked familiar. She placed her palm on the window that separated them and leaned in closer. Her eyes trying to observe every inch of the necklace. Yes!! She remembered. It was the same necklace, the one for which Rachel is now in this condition. All her memory flashes back like a movie.

5 years ago:-

Rachel entered the shop to find herself dazzled with excitement. She wanted the perfect gown for her wedding. Anna was also with her. It was the last day of their wedding shopping. They were getting married together at the same day with their loved ones. After all they were best friends so everything had to be perfect.

Rachel had done choosing her dress. It was gorgeous. White like the clouds with a unique design of silver lining by the sides. She was now looking for jwellery to go with the dress. Anna was still confused between two dresses. She was just staring at them. One of the staff came and said to Rachel,' Ma'am, we have something that might go with the dress of yours. Do you want to try it ?'.
' Yes , of course !!'.

He came back with a box in his hand and opened it kept it on the table. Rachel was amazed. She was speechless. No words can describe it. It was embedded with pink pearls and there was beautiful diamond at the neck side. She tried it on. It looked perfect with her dress. There was no second opinion. She bought it right away.

By this time Anna was also done with her shopping. Both of them came out of the shop but while coming out Rachel heard the staff murmur,' Finally! Got rid of that thing.' Both of them bid each other bye and started walking. Rachel was very excited to wear the necklace again and show it to Scott. She reached home and quickly wore it on her neck. It shinning exactly like in the shop even in this dim light. Scott was amazed too. He had never seen something like it.

The wedding day finally came. Both the couples were happy. Both the brides, Rachel and Anna, were looking pretty but Rachel was looking just like a Queen and it was because of the necklace. Anybody who wears it looks like that as if it had soem magic powers. It was time to cut the cake. Rachel was holding the knife and was going to put it on the cake but then suddenly she turned her hand towards her left and stabbed Scott. He lies dead on spot.

Everyone was silent with their mouths wide open. Anna was shouting,' What the fuck did you just do ? You killed him'. Rachel was standing still like a statue. After few seconds she fell on the ground.

When she opened her eyes she was in a hospital. She asked what happened. The nurse said,' Few people dropped you here. You had lost your senses. They said when you wake up we should not try to contact them instead should send you home.' Rachel remembered about the wedding. She hurriedly left the hospital and went to her house. She tried contacting Anna but realised that Anna had blocked her number.

She was petrified. Her wedding dress and accessories were given back to her by the hospital but necklace was not therr. She searched for the necklace and found it inside it's box perfectly packed. ' How is this possible ?!' she asked herself.

She picked it up and tried to read the mark on it, 'Queens' it said. She has never heard of it. She searched in Google but found nothing exceptional apart from the fact that it was Jwellery company almost hundred years ago and was best of that time. She again searched, this time she wrote,' Is there any strange case related to the company Queens ?'. What she read blew out her mind.
