Beyond the Optical Emporium, the bricks sparkled golden like the Sun as its light reflected off its delicate surface. Its walls were like a child’s colourful drawing.
Beside the Emporiums gate, there was a window sill. This outstanding window display had a pyramid of jars and sweets, spitting out scents of cotton candy and chocolate fudge (which were completely untouched).
The window held the colours of the rainbow in a few inches! Although almost all the things there were colourful and magical, there are also some mysterious things like Pots of dust from centuries ago, tears from a giant’s sorrowful eyes and a questionable wizard wand capable of doing crazy things.
Despite all this, no-one ever noticed the Emporium.
No-one that is, until Madi….
Chapter 1:
As she stared blankly at the open door, Madi was enticingly making her decision of whether or not to go inside.
Madi, who is a very intelligent girl, loved to learn new things and was very curious. Despite Madi being able to make friends almost instantly, Olly, who is the school bully at Street-Star Academy, is not very keen of Madi. Disappointingly, this started when Madi’s Mother and Father died in a car crash and she became an orphan at the young age of 12!
Madi slowly approached the door and glanced inside at the wonderland, she stepped back re-watching that moment in her mind.
‘Oh my god!’ she thought to herself.
With no fear or hesitation, she stepped inside. Madi steadily drifted around noticing ancient and magical items caged up in glass enclosures all around her.
Frightened she looked up to see a tall man
“Why are you in here!” the man shouted in a deep voice.
Chapter 2:
While Madi was meandering around inside the Emporium, a ribbon of light dancing around the room immediately caught Madi’s attention. As her eyes followed the light, which were struggling to keep up, they slowly came to a stop. A book lay in front of her. It read, The Book of Illusions.
It immediately caught her eye and she drifted toward it.
“Don’t lay a finger!” a voice came from behind her.
“You hear me?!” shouted the voice again. It was Mr.Byers. The head of the Emporium.
Madi was shaking at this point.
“Ok s-sir,” stammered Madi as Mr.Byers walked off.
When he was completely gone from sight, the book shimmered as if the book wanted Madi to open it. She could not resist the urge and wandered straight for it.
As Madi came close enough to touch it as she could. She picked up the book and a pen and began writing word after word, sentence after sentence. Suddenly, Madi felt a sharp intense pain in her hand and she was not in a familiar surrounding.
Madi darted her eyes around as if she was about to faint! As the sharp pain slowly faded away, she took a moment to breathe. She found a chair to sit on but fell straight to the ground! Madi immediately noticed that the chair was cotton candy! She now realised that she was in her world. Madi went from confused to excited in a matter of minutes! She looked around and she could smell the sugar drifting through the air. And see the rainbows running over the forest Best of all, there were bunnies binkying all around the new, magical world. It was wonderful.
Chapter 3:
After a few minutes, Madi decided that her next destination would be the Candy Floss Forest. The forest trees were made of only candy! The leaves were made of a whole variety of different candy floss flavours: apple; strawberry; raspberry; blueberry. The wood was made of sugar fondant and looked super yummy! After she checked out the forest trees, she spotted a small cabin decorated with Middlemist Red flowers planted all around the cottage. With no hesitation, Madi stepped inside the cottage.
There were old pots and pans laid out neatly across the stove. There were aged chairs all tucked under the table. A lit candle flickered in the light.
“Someone must be here? Hello!?” shouted Madi. No one replied. Madi then made her way upstairs towards the bedroom. The sheets were all nice and tidy, she was now confused.
Suddenly, she hears the loud grunting of a creature and starts to panic. Madi rushed downstairs and rummages through anything she can use as a weapon and pulls out the sharpest knife that she could find
Madi cautiously opens the door and stares at what lay in front of her. The giant leg of some creature-like thing. She runs outside to the door in which she created. She gets to the door relieved but realised she couldn’t get through! How was she going to survive?
Chapter 4:
Terrified, Madi turned her head to hear the snarling of the creature approaching her at high speed. Worried, Madi wrestled at the door again and again but it was forever locked. She had to find another way out.
Anxious, she cautiously made her way over to a crystal clear pond and stared into the continuous abyss. Madi fixed her eyes on a glowing door buried in the water.
“That’ll be my escape!” Madi whispered. Staring down, Madi jumped in. (With hope she could get out.)
Madi swam down, kicking her legs as fast as a dolphin. As she reached halfway she stared to panic. Kicking faster, Madi started to lose hope. Suddenly she noticed she was almost there! Swimming as fast as she could, Madi grabbed the handle and burst the door open with courage. Relieved, Madi stared down at the floor and her clothes to see they were completely dry (warm even!).
Confused, Madi made her way downstairs to visit Mr.Sinclair.
“Hello,” said Mr.Sincalir, “Dreams can’t always come true Madi, you have to realise that,”.
Madi had had enough, all she wanted to do was to get out of this cruel world! With that Madi stormed out. Realised she wanted to go to the world of dreams, she turned around and noticed it was gone?! The emporium was gone?! All of a sudden, she heard the rustling of a bush coming from the side of the Emporium. There it was, a rabbit following Madi
