Luna and the book of wonders

‘’My name is Lilly Clover,’’ she said glaring at Luna until a shiver went down her spine, spitefully. ‘’This is my emporium. Do you like it?’’ Luna was too terrified to respond so she just nodded her head like  nothing happened . ‘’Here is my book of wishes, you are very free to look around just DON’T  touch the book!’’

A couple seconds later, Miss Clover had disappeared into the Emporium.  Luna was alone. Twisting around Luna opened the book of wishes. On each page was a new picture different in a way. They were villages made of clouds, sunken ships, mountains and valleys. There was much more. 

The next thing Luna knew, there was a multi-coloured pencil in her hand. She was drawing a magical land made of sweets and chocolate. She was now drawing a house made of gingerbread covered in icing and  fruit pastels. She had drawn something  from her Imagination.  

‘’Follow me,’’ called out the parrot. Luna slammed the book closed and without thinking she trailed behind the rainbow parrot. She twisted a golden knob and wandered off into her magical dream island. It was still, silent. Until the sound of a bird singing happily filled the air. A path appeared – it was made of caramel. Luna being  adventurous trailed down it. She did not look back. In front of her was the gingerbread house she had drawn.

Her heart beated faster as she realised it had everything she had drawn: a warm cosy living room with a pink couch and TV; a wooden fire burning gently and elegantly surrounded by rock candy: a not very big kitchen with yellow cups and fine china plates along with a very old cooker: a table meant for two that had food and drinks set. ‘’Hello’’ called Luna trying to figure out if anyone else was there. Instead she was met by the smell of fresh cotton candy. 

A few minutes later, she heard a noise. A not very pleasant noise. She scrambled under the chocolate table . The kitchen door burst open and at that moment she saw it; a dark silhouette boomed towards her; ruby eyes glowing scanning the room in anger; piercing claws scraping on the floor. Luna moved backwards as the monster drew closer and closer.

 Luna got onto her feet and ran as fast as the speed of light. She ran to where the monster had started but there was nothing left of the once standing door. Instead there was a hole in the wall. As quick as her legs could move, she ran towards the caramel path. It seemed as though it would never end. Behind her boomed a voice ‘’ GET BACK HERE,’’ not daring to look back. Luna just ran faster and faster!
