Dangerous Merchandise Ellie Nova & Derek Savage & Kai Jaxon Deeper
The rain fell heavily over the small town of Ridgewood, a forgotten speck nestled between mountains shrouded in clouds. Ellie Nova paced nervously in her small antique shop, ‘Vintage Vault’, nervously eyeing the streaks on the window as she occasionally glanced at her reflection — a vision of anxiety clad in vintage denim and a faded band T-shirt. Her dark hair was halfheartedly tucked into a messy bun, and her round glasses slipped down her nose.
Tonight was not just another stormy night perched amidst her cluttered treasures. Her heart raced with anticipation. She had received an anonymous tip about unusual merchandise that could be hiding among her stock, something that could change her fortunes drastically. The uninterested chatter of her usual customers faded into the background as memories of her parents’ struggles and her looming debts clouded her thoughts.
A sudden clap of thunder shook her reverie, making her jump. Just then, the ding of her shop’s bell sounded. She turned to see an imposing figure stepping inside, silhouetted against the harsh light outside.
“Stop right there,” Ellie called out, a shaky half-assertion fueled by impulse. The figure stepped into the warm glow of the lanterns, revealing a rugged man with striking azure eyes and dark hair tousled as if styled by the storm itself. His attire suggested adventure, denim and leather worn beautifully from years of travel.
“Looking for shelter from the storm, or was it a dangerous game of trespass?” he smirked, a glint of charisma flaring in his demeanor.
Ellie narrowed her eyes. “Who are you?”
“I’m Derek, a traveler,” he replied simply. “But I heard about this shop and thought I’d drop by.”
“Yeah? What did you hear?” she shot back, curiosity twinkling beneath her veil of suspicion.
Derek approached the counter slowly, his movements unthreatening. “I’m looking for something…specific. A rare artifact, perhaps?” His voice dropped, confidence intermingled with intrigue.
“What kind of artifact?”

He reached into his bag and pulled out an antique compass – tarnished but still eloquent, a relic of the past. “I’m searching for something that complements this. Something dangerous, if you catch my drift.”
Ellie felt a spark — her mind raced with thoughts of urban legends and whispers of treasure. She hesitated but decided to ask what she’d wanted to know. “Something dangerous… like what?”
Derek leaned closer, lowering his voice as though confessing a secret. “I heard tales of something buried beyond Ridgewood, an item that brings fortune but at a price. It’s said to be connected to an old merchant family that lived in this town long ago. They called it the Jaxon Locket.”
Just as Ellie was about to reply, a tall, lanky figure stepped in from the storm, shaking water from his leather jacket. Kai Jaxon was a familiar sight around town, known as the resident conspiracy theorist and eccentric historian. His features were sharp, and the gleam of his spectacles gave him an aura of both intelligence and mischief. He had a penchant for dramatic entrances, often spouting lore of the region.
“Did someone mention the Jaxon Locket?” he piped up, oblivious to the tension between Ellie and Derek.
Ellie groaned inwardly. Kai was intriguing but often ended up extending conversations rather than resolving them. “Yes, and you are?”
“Just the person you need to consult!” Kai said, excitement flooding his voice. “I’ve dedicated years to tracing its whereabouts. Legend has it, the locket is buried beneath the ashes of an old fire that consumed the Jaxon estate over a century ago.”
“What makes you so certain it’s even there?” Derek challenged, folding his arms with a skeptical look.
“Because,” Kai began, his voice turning conspiratorial, “the fire wasn’t an accident. It was an act of sabotage. The locket had power, capable of bending luck. Those who possessed it were champions of fortune — or misfortune, depending on how it was used.”
Ellie felt the room getting heavier. The stakes were higher than she’d imagined. “And I suppose you propose we go searching for it?”
Kai nodded vigorously, his energy infectious. “Absolutely! It could be the key to your shop’s success, and I’ve compiled maps.” He pulled out a rolled parchment from his backpack and unfurled it dramatically across the counter.
Derek peered inquisitively. “And what’s the cost of this ‘fortune’? I’ve seen what happens when you tempt fate.”
“Dangerous merchandise does come with its risks,” Kai replied, a hint of foreboding creeping into his tone. “But in this case, we’re seeking something potentially very powerful.”
Ellie let the words flow through her, a cocktail of excitement and dread. Was she ready to leap into an adventure that might change their lives?

With the storm receding, the trio set forth into the dark woods looming near the town, lanterns in hand, driven by the thrill of change and the prospect of danger. Each crack of twigs underfoot felt like an invitation to the suspenseful unknown.
They reached the remnants of old stone ruins, cloaked in vines and shadows, where the Jaxon estate once stood. Kai pulled out his maps as Derek and Ellie scanned the terrain for clues.
“Somewhere below this,” Kai murmured, pursuing an esoteric forest path, “lies what we seek.”
Before they dug, Ellie felt compelled to reflect: “We could find something amazing or summon something malevolent.”
“Or both,” Derek remarked, looking over his shoulder, his voice low yet resonating with an inner thrill as the forest whispered its secrets.
Just as they began to excavate, a low rumble rolled above — thunder once more. The air thickened, and in a pulse, a light flickered in the depths of the ruins. It pulsed a vibrant blue, illuminating the dark earth where they were digging.
“What is that?” Derek gasped, his keen eyes trying to find its source.
“Only one way to find out,” Ellie stated, her heart pounding, electrified by both fear and excitement. As they dug deeper, the soil gave way to the locket, encased in glass that felt made for another time.
With reverence, they lifted the locket, its intricate designs capturing the last remnants of daylight. It felt alive in their hands. The atmosphere turned electric, crackling with possibilities.
“Do you think it’s really dangerous?” Ellie questioned.
Derek studied the locket. “Could be. Legends are often rooted in truth, and every treasure has a tale.”
Before they could debate further, Kai was suddenly pulled backward by an unseen force, tumbling amid the foliage. “Help!” he cried out, his glasses askew as he grappled against something from the underbrush.
Instinct kicked in, both Ellie and Derek rushing to aid him. But the trees themselves felt alive, branches like tendrils pulling at their ankles, as misfortune began to unfold.
With the locket now in hand, it poised a foreboding control over the trio. The very air around them seemed laden with danger, whispering secrets they were ill-prepared to unearth.
“Do we keep it? Or let it go?” Derek asked, breathless and terrified.
Ellie looked at the gleaming artifact, feeling the weight of her family’s legacy pressing down on her. “Maybe we should leave it?” she suggested, feeling her heart break amidst the pull of ambition.
But as Kai scrambled to his feet, determination etched onto his face, he became resolute. “We’ve come too far to walk away now!”
The decision loomed over them like the storm that had brought them together. In a haste, they grasped their
