The Emporium (Chapter four)

After about 30 minutes of walking, Autumn could here footsteps close behind her and they were certainly not Elmo’s. Suddenly Autumn’s eyes started to brighten. They were glowing a bright green colour. Was it a sign that the queen was near?

As her eyes started to glow brighter, the breeze seemed to get stronger. “What is happening Elmo?” shouted Autumn over the wind worriedly. But there was no reply. “Elmo?!” she shouted again, but still no reply. “Where are you Elmo?” she said for the last time. She looked up trees. In bushes. But there was no Elmo in sight.

“Autumn?” said a soft, faint voice from behind her, “Where were you?”

“I was looking everywhere for you Elmo!” shouted Autumn, “my eyes were glowing really bright and the breeze was getting aggressive. Do you know what that means?”

“It means the queen is nearby and we have got to move, come on Autumn!” said Elmo worriedly.

All of a sudden a tall figure stepped out in front of Elmo and Autumn. Was it the queen? Sure it was. ‘How are we going to escape now?’ Elmo thought to himself. You could see that confident yet scared look on Autumn’s face. What was she going to do?

Autumn picked up a stick – that had recently fallen from a tree – and approached the queen.

“Sorry, not sorry,” said Autumn confidently. She wacked the queen making her fall to the ground. Dead. Suddenly the beautiful crown that was on the queen’s head floated in the air and started to hover above Autumn. Then it was slowly placed on her head. She was the new queen of the forest! Despite the fact Autumn was the new queen, she had to go back to the emporium. And, well go home. They tried everything: the book, the birds, the squirrels. But nothing worked. Eventually, Autumn and Elmo found three trees, each with doors on them. They both knew one thing: only one of the doors would take them home.

Autumn decided to go with her gut – the middle door. Was she correct? They would have to wait and see. Elmo and Autumn walked towards the middle door. “Ready? 3.. 2… 1…” they both said whilst opening the door. Did thy make the right decision?

They held hands, closed their eyes and walked through the door. When they opened their eyes they were back at the emporium.

“We have to get out of here, and fast!” shouted Autumn whilst running out the door with Elmo.

After a few months, Autumn and Elmo started to live together happily.

Then Autumn soon realised that she had the power to switch between the two relms.

The End.

Or is it…?
