I sat still in the living room as my parents talked in the kitchen. I knew it was about me. They'd just bailed me out of jail after my friends and I broke into a gas station. We didn't rob the place or anything, it no one asked us why we did it, but we did it for a reason you might not expect. My friends and I were after something hidden in the back of the store, and it isn't stealing if the person did know it was there and didn't own it. It was hidden under the floorboards in the back and we easily found it. An old talisman was what we found, and it looked just like the book described. We were about to leave to go find the next item the book talked of when cops suddenly showed up. They saw us outside the gas station that had clearly been broken into and "stolen" property in our hands. We tried to explain how the talisman belonged to me and needed it to save the world, but they didn't care.
