Paige McMillan: Zoe Tells Athena About the Stone

"What are *you* so happy about?" asked Zoe's friend Athena DeVries. Zoe met up with her friend at her locker. As usual, Athena was dressed in a witch-like black dress with a corset (blood red today), lace choker, fishnet gloves, and a pair of black heeled boots. She was the embodiment of gothic elegance, something that Zoe could never really pull off herself. "I got my inheritance from my grandfather. And you'll never guess what it is." "Well, don't keep me waiting." "It's a wishing stone," Zoe said, smiling.
