The Secret of the Crystal Ball

"There's no moonlight tonight...!"

The crystal ball almost slipped from Emily's hand but she succeeded in catching it before the fragile thing could land on the hard floor and shatter into thousands of pieces.

Her heart was ready to pop out as she realized exactly how frightened she was, not only because she almost dropped the crystal but also because of the voice that suddenly disturbed the silence of her room.

She turned around to glare at the man who was lazily sitting on her bed while playing with one of the many pillows that she had in her possession.

"Can you please stop popping up into my room all of a sudden? You almost scared me to death." She complained as she slipped the ball back into the pocket of her night suit.
