The Mystery of the Missing Emerald by Tabitha Sheedy

It all started when the wind was blowing everywhere in a special land, called QT. There was a palace, and Queen Cherry Blossom lived inside. In the royal dining room, there was a special emerald. The emerald had magical flying powers.

One night, a nasty robber stole it. The Queen thought the robber wanted to discover the secrets of the magic emerald. He broke into the palace at midnight and escaped in disguise. The next day when the queen noticed it was missing, she was dumbstruck. She could not believe her eyes. The magic emerald had never been stolen before!

The next morning, the Queen woke up as early as possible to find out who stole her precious emerald. She asked everybody in the palace if they had seen it and then went out into the villages to continue searching. Then right at that moment, the Queen saw something flying through the air. It was her emerald! She tried to catch it but no luck - it was still flying high up above her. Then it disappeared again. How peculiar!

The Queen went home, puzzled about why her emerald flew away from her. Only her and her long lost brother knew how to control the flying emerald. She went back to the palace, and went to bed. The palace seemed spooky that night. Then she got out of bed. She crept among the big blue poles and down the screechy stairs. Just then, Queen Cherry Blossom noticed that a shadow had appeared. Then she heard giggling and she was very curious. She recognised that laugh. It was the laugh of her cheeky brother, Tim, who always played jokes on her when they were little.

The Queen crept towards the laughing. When she peered around the corner she saw Tim! She was absolutely flabbergasted! Tim had been away for many years and she thought he would never return. He was holding the flying emerald! He tossed it into the air and it flew back to the Queen.

The Queen didn’t look grumpy anymore, she looked overjoyed. Her brother looked overjoyed as well and he had a big cheeky smile on his face. They made some fairy bread and a pot of tea and talked all night long about their adventures.

The End.
