Hours after Emma's sixteen birthday party had ended, one of the maids discovered an unopened present sitting in the foyer. There was nothing on the pink satin box to indicate who it was from, but there was no mistaking who it was for.
Emma eagerly untied the white ribbon. When she opened the lid she paled. She took a step back and the box fell from her trembling hands, the gift remaining nestled inside.
Her maid rushed. "It's so beautiful miss," she gasped as she lifted out the gift. "I wonder who sent it? And look it comes with a little key. It fits right in the back."
And as the maid turned the key Emma's mouth opened in horror but the scream never had a chance to come.
Questions to Consider
What do you think was in the box?
Who do you think sent it? Why did he/she/it send it?
Why was Emma scared of the gift, but her maid was not?
oh i am so excited for more of these! are you going to do any more in the future?
