But why?
#WritcoStoryPrompt5
The diamond necklace on the mannequin looked familiar. She placed her palm on the window that separated them and leaned in closer. She felt a magnetic force pulling her towards it. She can't afford it & she knew it. but that didn't stop her from going in to take a closer look. Somehow she felt that it was hers. She had a strong urge to take it, but resisted. She was no thief!
She kept her hands inside the pocket of her coat to resist the temptation. but felt a range of emotion on seeing the diamond necklace.
Sad... furious... lost... failure...
She couldn't take it anymore and looked away.
Then I owner came to greet her and asked if she was okay.
The owner was an elderly women, but she looked quite healthy as if her eyes had lived more lives than her.
Rare!!!
The elderly women introduced herself as kasheera and offered her coffee which she kindly declined.
She then said that she was simply admiring the necklace and that it was quite a work.
Kasheera noticed that her customer was sweating profusely inspite of the cold weather.
With a determined face and smile on her lips kasheera said to her customer that she can try it on if she needed and added that the necklace was of great archaeological importance.
Smiling back at kasheera she took her hands out of the pocket and took the necklace in her hand. Then she gently patted on the diamond.

WHUUUUUW!!!!!!!

A swirling wind took her in the air and when she opened her eyes ,she saw herself lying on a golden bed. Without further looks she understood that it was a palace as she was an archaeologist.
As she looked herself in that giant mirror beside her golden bed, awestruck she glanced everywhere to run away. but something inside her wanted her to stay &she felt home, eventhough she looked like an Egyptian princess.
She moved closer to the patio and saw the pyramid through her window.
Suddenly two guards with weird costumes came into her room without consent and the next thing she knew was an arrow sliding past her heart. She looked at them and asked "why??????? "

She felt like a blackout .when she opened her eyes she was in the diamond store with that necklace in her hand.

With a smile in the corner of her lips, kasheera said that she can have the necklace if she wanted answers....
