Chapter 4
I carefully crept into the house, making sure no one would hear my entrance. I ran to my room quickly and opened my trunk and gently folded the dress and laid it in the chest. I locked it and placed the key under my mattress as an extra precaution.
I got down on my knees, and from under the bed I retrieved a small wooden box. I lifted the latch and opened it cautiously. Inside were pair of emerald drop earrings and a necklace with a fairy pendant that had two, green emeralds for eyes.
Unchecked tears slid down my check. My father had given to me before I left. It belonged to my mother, who wore it on her wedding day. My father told me when I got married, to make sure to wear these, for they bring good luck (although I disagree because my father lost my mother to death and me to debt.)
I never showed them to anyone for fear they would be stolen and sold. Or worse yet, that Adele or Cyrille would make them their own. I couldn't bare the thought of them wearing my dear mother's jewelry around their wretched necks.
I returned from my thoughts and smiled; they matched the dress perfectly. And now all I had to do was sit and wait for the day to arrive.
