The Secret Emporium
The Secret Emporium (Subhana)
Have you ever heard of a story where there is a door and you are not supposed to go in it and then someone goes in the room and then something bad or good happens, Well If you did the Secret Emporium was a bit like that but a bit more interesting you will never know what will happen to me when I went through The Emporium…
The Emporium was never very color full, well not if its Christmas! On December the 1st, An old man will secretly but on the lights in the window which looked new but never was, the lights were used over and over again, that kept happening for 8 years and still is. The old man isn’t very wealthy he will re-use everything until it turns into dust, that’s why he uses the Christmas lights for almost 14 years and he will never put anything he owns outside in to the word. The place he lived in was called an Emporium, well that’s the name people of the villagers call it, nobody has never stepped a foot in the Emporium, until I my name is Lizzy Chamber did something that nobody has ever dared to do. Yes you guessed it I went in the Emporium.
Chapter 1 – Through the door
I always wanted to do the biggest dare in the village, since I turned 14 I was old enough to go with her friend’s houses go to sleepovers so I was allowed to go anywhere by myself. That’s when I went inside the unknown house she sneaked in the house at 11am I told my mum that she Is going to a sleepover. But actually, I was going to go to the emporium, when I got there the door was open for some reason. It was really weird at first but when I took the first step in the house she was shocked the Emporium was spotless! Inside the house was so interesting and old fashioned I loved everything about this cottage she wanted to touch a lot of things, but she felt bad because she broke in to someone’s house but when I found a staircase leading up to the attic. When I got up to the attic I found a book, a book that cached her eye…
The Secret Emporium CHAPTER 2
I carefully kneeled down on my knees blew all the dust of the front cover and when I was about to open the book I saw a silhouette of a man.
Chapter 2 The secret Emporium
“Oi Who are why are you here young lady?!” Shouted the man who lives here, “-I am L-Lizzy sir,” I was terrified. The old man sat down on the chair and smiled. “what made you to visit here Lizzy?” I gulped and said “ sorry sir I was wondering why no one came I was very curious so I saw your front door was wide open and decided to go I even closed the door for you” replied I with one deep breath. The old man smiled and said “Thank you Lizzy and my name is Mr. Granger I never had visitors before!” I smiled and Asked Mr. Granger what the attic is he said that it was his old shop and he let me look around but he said loudly “WHAT EVER YOU DO NOT LOOK OR TOUCH MY BOOK” I wondered why she couldn’t look in the book what is in the book that I couldn’t see. Once Mr. Granger left the room to go back to his bakery I found a real-life owl with treats beside it she took some treats and fed it to the owl when I fed the 2nd last treat she heard Mr. Granger’s footsteps I quickly took 5 steps back and fiddled with the last treat. Mr. Granger looked at the Owl and said “ah I see you fed my owl” I nodded “thank you Lizzy I was going to tell you that I am going to the market I need you to look after the Emporium.” Lizzy nodded. When the Mr. Granger left she opened the book some Drawings she took out a pe and drew a picture when she finished she heard the owl say follow me so Lizzy stood up and followed the owl, Lizzy followed the owl to dark corridor and at the end of the corridor was a bright yellow door it had a beaten Up sign saying “do not enter” in capital letters Lizzy stopped and asked “ are you sure that we are allowed here…?” The owl nodded. Lizzy closed here eyes and opened the door when she opened her eyes she couldn’t believe what she saw….
Chapter~3 – through the door,
I opened my eyes and saw MY DRAWING INSIDE THE ROOM I was freaking out I was turning red I took a deep breath and explored the room and I was still a bit freaked out she was a forest with a cottage the exact cottage I drew outside the house were beautiful roses with different colors I never saw in real life I heard a voice which sounded like Mr. Grangers voice but when I turned around there was nobody was there I turned around and left the room I took the owl with me.
Chapter 4 the last note..
I looked down the stairs to see if Mr. Granger was still there, I didn’t see him so I decided to shout out his name so I did, I didn’t hear a reply so I looked around and took a small breath and put the owl in his cage and opened the door and explored the room once again but carefully, so I explored the room but then decided to start from the back, when I reached the end of the room not an ordinary mirror a mirror that will make you wanted to touch so I touched it and boom I was in a different realm. When I looked around I was in the past! When there was dinosaurs. I looked behind me and thank god the mirror was still there so I put my hand on the mirror and then I got teleported to the room again but outside the room I ran back to the shop and looked around to find so I could pretend I was looking at the shop the whole time. When Mr. Granger came home he came to the shop and asked me if I found some interested stuff I said I looked at all the items I could see. Mr. Granger smiled and said if I wanted to go home and I said I would go home in 5 minutes he shook his head and went down to the bakery. I looked at some items and made my way down the stairs and said thank you for having me I was about to leave and then Mr. Granger said “it was a pleasure having you Lizzy please come again soon and he gave me some a paper with some words it wasn’t a word really it was like a spell its “WingardiumquentorGRANGER” he whispered in my ears saying whenever your in danger or want to speak to me say these words then ill appear. “but I don’t understand sir why are you helping me I mean all I did is look after your house and look in your amazing shop so what did I do?” I asked Mr. Granger. ”I helped you because I never had a visitor I was lonely I get
made fun of all the time and when I go to sell stuff from my shop I get rejected all the time I never sold anything that’s when you
you came along,” I was so happy I made someone’s day then when I left the home the house just vanished I turned around and saw some money I approached and it said “thank you Lizzy I can finally leave…”
It turns out that Mr. Granger was a God who pays people for good deeds…
