Chapter 4-the secrets of the secret Emporium-by Anabelle

       When she closed the door and turned around she came face to face with the Emporium’s owner. She expected to be in deep trouble but when she looked into the mans eyes she doubted it. “I told you not to touch my book,” he said. “I-I-I’m s-sorry,” stuttered Keira, shuffling her feet. “I told you not to touch my book,” he said again. “I can offer you a job here,” he said calmly, pacing the room. “But first you must pass a test,”. Then, before she could answer he threw her back and fell into a deep black hole that seemed to go on forever. Finally, she landed on her back in a room that smelt of dust and her grandma’s house. There was no windows but she knew she was defiantly underground. There was a table in the middle of the room. On the table was a golden box. She cautiously walked over to it and took the lid off. Inside the box was a key. It was the most beautiful key she had ever seen. It was gold and had a dark blue gem with silver stars on it, like her door. She felt like there was something magnetic inside of her pulling her towards the key. But a voice inside her head said to walk away. Despite the warning in her head, she picked up the key. It was only a small key so she got her chain from her pocket, put the key on it and hung it on her neck.

       Suddenly, quicker then she could blink she was somehow back in the room she was in before she fell into the hole. “Did you find the box?” Said the shop owner. “Yes,”she said. “And did you take the key?” He said, still with his back to her. “Yes,” Keira said again. The man turned to look at her. “Then you have failed my test,” he said calmly “Even though you knew you shouldn’t have took it, you still took it,”. Keira took the chain of her neck. “Heres your key,” she said. “Keep it,” said the shop owner. “You can use it to visit your world,” he said slowly. “But if you don’t mind I have to close the shop,” he said, indicating towards the door. Keira thanked him for letting her keep the key and listened to the jingle of the bell as she walked out of the door. She looked behind her at the Emporium. But the Emporium wasn’t there. Just a road that led to a soap shop.

       When she turned her light of and got into bed she thought of what had happened over the past few hours. She thought that it was a dream because she couldn’t think of a reason of how the shop could just disappear. But then as she lay in bed something cold was on her chest. She looked to see what it was. It was the gold key with the dark blue and silver stars gem.

    Hi Annabelle, this is great.
    1. It builds a strong picture in my head. Our favourite line is ‘When she closed the door and turned around she came face to face with the Emporium’s owner.’
    2. Why was they key tied round her neck?
    3. Maybe you could add in how he threw her into the hole.
    But we’ll done this is really good.
    Sophie and Freya.
