Timothy clutched his satchel close to his side as he turned the corner to the side of the school. 

“You got the goods?” The bully asked, arms crossed waiting for Timothy’s arrival.

“If I get caught, I’ll be grounded for…” 

The bully puts his hand out, telling him to be quiet. He wasn’t interested in anything other than what was promised to him.

Timothy took a deep breath and undid the straps holding his bag shut, before opening it up and reaching inside. 

The first item he pulled out was a small ornate ring with a large emerald in the centre. The bully snatches it from his hand and tries jamming it onto his large finger.

Timothy stifled a laugh as he watched the bully struggle to get the ting ring past his finger tip.

“What else have you got?” The bully asks, shoving the ring into his pocket.

Next Timothy pulls out a gold bangle decorated with runes even he was unable to decipher. 

The bully grabs this bangle and forces it on his wrist. With immediate effect his eyes light up a violent red and he’s overcome with aggression.

He snatches the satchel from Timothy and turns it upside down, tipping the last three items out onto the floor.

A goblet, a vile, and quill. The vile smashes releasing a pungent vapor into the air which causes Timothy’s eyes to grow heavy and he falls to the ground in a slump. 

The vapor penetrates the eyes of the bully turning them into a vibrant green before he falls to the ground and grabs the remaining items before crawling off.

Five minutes later Timothy begins to stir awake upon seeing the items he had brought are no longer present he smiles to himself.

He always wanted to get his own back on the bully and now he had, the cursed items had worked and now the bully would forever dwell in the woods on the outskirts of the school.

Who knows? Maybe he will go down in history as a school legend. The creature in the woods. I’m sure that’s what he always wanted.
