Locked Heart

She walked into an old country store, and Legend paused outside, trying to look casual, before pushing open the door and walking inside. The sharp smell of oranges smacked him in the face, and he gagged slightly before going into a coughing fit. Damn country stores. He thought as he trudged farther inside and glanced around, still covering his mouth. He spotted the girl over by the dairy products, and as she leaned down, something swung forward and dangled in the air around her neck.
The necklace! He grinned. Gotcha. Silently now, he slunk forward past the old wooden shelves filled with bread and other pastry items. He couldn’t even smell the orange any more. He had found the One! The Wise were going to be ecstatic! He had proved them wrong. He could find the One. Now all he had to do was lure her back to his place. He watched as she quickly tucked the necklace back into her shirt, then grabbed a half gallon milk jug and headed for the register. He followed.
It wouldn’t be long now.
