Chapter 4 (Emporium)

Agana ran like she never had before. Wishing that she never went to the house, she ran and ran.Cautiously , she ran to a maze of corn. Desperate for help , she crawled until she was on the other side.The beast was not  there..but behind her. Roaring for flesh,the thing chased her until his legs went numb. Agana smiled and did a cheerful,little dance. She walked behind trees and massive boulders until she was at the cottage once again.She went to the place where she first came in. The door which was supposed to be there was gone.”What!,”Agana screamed,”where is the door-? It was there before!” 

Her voice cracked in agony , she was about to make her t-shirt wet.Her eye vision went blurry and her face went red,her eyes went sore. All she did was shout “ NO MORE!” . It was silent for more than three minutes. When she stopped crying her t-shirt was stained with her warm tears. She did not want this pain. All she wanted was to go home.She was about to give up but she looked into the dark glimmering sky and wondered why she heard a voice from a cloud.It was like her mother telling her not to give up. She stood up and was desperate to get out of this room.She looked around and wondered where the door could be. “Surely there would be one, right?” she asked herself . “But of course there would be a door! There’s always an exit if there’s an entrance!” she said. There were three things she thought of: the pond; the old oak tree; a rabbits warren or the cottage. She walked to the oak tree and inspected it : she climbed it ; kicked it ; touched it ; hit it ; licked it but nothing helped the door appear. She walked away and tried to find a warren. When she did find one it was under an oak tree whose leaves were orange like earwax. But the warren was far too small for even her foot to fit. So in anger she kicked the tree and walked away with smoke coming out her ears and boiling like a teapot.She was either gonna check the pond or the cottage. But she decided to check the pond. She walked again to the pond and accidently fell right in . She tried to swim up but something was blocking it like a force field or a chunk of ice. She swam down and saw the door. She was swimming to it like an endless path was leading her. It was like a never ending water cave . 

 

As she finally reached the door she turned the handle and felt right in.She was wet and cold. It was a real challenge for Agana cause she always had a fear of water since she was four.”  Nope, never doing that again!” she shouted. 

 

She was walking with seaweed in her black silky hair. The taste of seaweed was in her mouth. She soaked the red carpet with all the water from her clothes. Some water was still dripping from her hair. She was finally near the curtains and walked through them. She was greeted by Lucas with a disappointed look on his face.”I think I told you to NOT touch the book!” he screamed , “If you wrote something which the book could not fix,it would be a disaster!”. His eyes turned dark and his face looked angrier than a bull seeing a cape coloured red. “I’m sorry! I thought that book wouldn’t do anything! I thought it was stupid” she said. “YOU ARE STUPID , I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH IT! BUT YOU HAD TO! THE DANGER YOU COULD OF CAUSED TO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD WOULD NOT BE FIXED BY THE BOOK , ME OR YOU”He shouted in anger . “GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK , AGANA!” he shouted again. The fear in her eyes , she was about to cry. 

 

She turned and walked to the door . The last look she gave him was with a tear. The bell rang and she was gone . Soon , she sat on a brick wall which was just in front of the emporium. Then the ginger cat walked to her with  matches and gasoline . “Burn it , burn the emporium! Burn it with all your anger on Lucas” The ginger cat shouted . “Why Mr. Kitty? Why should I do that! “ she asked . “Desire to burn things on fire”he said,”Lucas kept me trapped in that emporium since I could remember!”

Aganas eyes glimmered , she grabbed the gasoline and spread it all around the emporium. She smiled , she grabbed the match and set the match on fire. It sparkled and made the emporium surrounded by fire . Like the unfurling portals of a vermillion-coloured flower; the flames rose up and engulfed the palace grounds, these beautifully treacherous torches against the dark night sky.Her eyes sparkled and she just sat on the wall and watched it burn into ashes with Mr. Kitty . 

 

“Its my time to go then Mr. Kitty , It was a pleasure to meet you” she smiled. She jumped off the wall and walked home . But Mr.Kitty followed her . Until she opened the door to her house . She was on the second floor of her house and Mr. Kitty was on a tree watching her from a distance.
