The spirit Emporium! 

The morning dew smelt delightful as Crimson walked to the shop. She was looking for some new toys when she came across the Spirit emporium. She opened the creaky door to find wonder in the shop. There were toys everywhere , a golden bookshelf that holds books that look like they are alive, and a ceiling that holds the constellations of what she thinks means spirits! She was fond of reading so she grabbed a book that looks like a good read, its name was the book of souls. She opened the book and when she laid it on the table she found that everything went quiet , the lights flickered and a shadow was in the corner of her eye. Its voice was croaky as it spoke “ I see you found my book of souls little one!” Crimson could not see its full face , only its eyes drew closer ; they were red like flames flickering. An owl swooped down from the ceiling and  landed on what she thought was its shoulder ; its eyes were blue like diamonds . It worried Crimson…

Chapter 2.

Crimson was staring at those big blue eyes of the birds when the shadow woman spoke again. “ Only touch what has a sale sign” she said as she plucked up the book and placed it on a shelf, walking away into a room by the door; Crimson blinked and the book somehow wasn’t even there!Crimson looked at the lady as she suddenly morphed into color as she walked away. Crimson tried to ignore it but deep down she knew something had happened. She wandered around the shop looking for things to buy, she was still fascinated at the diamonds encrusted on the walls and the burning fire and the consolations on the roof . To her it was a dream but she knew she was awake ( somehow.) Unexpectedly, she found that there was a block of stairs that she had not noticed before. Cautiously she tiptoed up the stairs to find that there was a hall full of random doors. Some were hot, some were cold, some were odd shaped doors but the thing that worried her most was the cold black door that just screamed BAD!She stepped closer to the black coaly door and opened it. Inside were tall pillars that were pink with candyfloss and blue with bubblegum ice cream and the sun shone up above them. As quick as a flash, things took a turn for the worst; the pillars crumbled and the sun turned to dark ash in the sky. Shadow’s roamed now. Crimson turned to run but she stood on a stick and all the shadow turned to her with big green cats eyes. They pounced on her, making her limbs cold with numbness. She jumped falling into a grey sea of nothingness but she felt a hand grab her and it pulled her back up…

Chapter 3.

The black spirit pulled her back up to stop her falling.This spirit was originally sitting in a curled up ball in the corner watching as she fell with loving blue eyes instead of the blood red eyes.She pulled Crimson to safety but not for long for the old lady Greta found her with a spirit… “ You… You need to get out of here for what i am about to do is something you will not want to see” Greta pulled out a dagger from her pocket and got ready to stab her… “ NO!” she exclaimed as she grabbed the dagger and threw it down the cliff into the grey sea bellow. “She is the spirit who saved me from falling off that cliff! I will NOT let you kill her !” “ She has orders to obey and she did not obey them, she should have stopped you from getting in the room but instead she watched you as you walked in the room!!!” Then suddenly Greta grabbed Crimson and grabbed the spirit who saved her and pulled them both off the ground by their hair… Greta’s eyes turned a deep purple, her hair turned red, her fingers long and bony and she lifted off the ground leaving Crimson and the spirit dangling off the edge of the cliff. She was about to drop them when the spirit turned red …

Chapter 4.

She started to rise out of the ladies grasp, saving herself . Crimson saw the expression on Greta’s face as she weakened . “ That was your own choice spirit but it may have been the wrong one for your friend here… I mean it really would be a shame if my fingers slipped wont it?” Crimson was starting to fall but with one of Greta’s fingers holding on to her she was safe for now, but she knew it was only a matter of time before Greta decided to drop her to her death. For the first time since Crimson had met the spirit in the room she had not said a word… until now… “You are not the real Greta… Lola… You left me to die with the assassins and then you collected my soul… well now you will serve me.” She made a huge hurracane and collected Lola from the ground and threw her off the cliff as she grabbed Crimson before she fell to…

Crimson woke up back were she started at the front of were the shop had been but now all that was there was a pile of rubble… “the shop… it has been destroyed…”
