The Great House had many hidden treasures. As a 10-year-old girl, many of the rooms were out of bounds for Elsa, but her desire for adventure often got the better of her…
She peeked back over shoulder to check that the coast was clear. She could hear one of the butlers clattering around in the kitchens at the far end of the hall; no one knew she was there.
She carefully turned the ornate, golden door handle, hearing the mechanism inside clunk, and eased the heavy, wooden door open just enough to slip inside the room.
Immediately, Elsa was bathed in light as it poured down from the circular windows in the ceiling. She could see dust dancing in the beams of sunlight.
With a flutter of excitement inside her chest, she strode confidently into the centre of the room, her shoes click-clacking off the chessboard-like floor. She loved this library – it felt like she was 'in' history. How many lords and ladies had graced this great room? It has stood here for centuries, and Elsa doubted that little, if anything, had changed over the years.
Elsa loved reading, but that wasn't why she had come to the library. She approached one of the golden orbs lined up along the centre of the library floor, and carefully placed her finger on the top. It had worked last time. Would it work again? She longed for the magic to happen, and closed her eyes in silent prayer…
Elsa open her eyes; she had been transported into one of the books! She wondered which book it would be this time. She felt a shudder run down her spine, she was filled with excitement and fear. She looked around and noticed a litter boy sat in the garden of the grand, palace grounds. She tiptoed over to him. He was crying. He was dressed in what looked like olden day clothes, she wondered what year she was in? She then looked down at herself and realised she was wearing a beautiful, royal gown. 'Could I be a princess?' she asked herself.
She said to the boy 'what year are we in'. the boy said '1921'. She said I am from 2020 the boy was shocked Elsa said 'where are we in the world 'he said London 'she said I am from America. she said 'who am I' he said 'the most royal princess in the world '. She had always dreamed of being a Princess!!
Suddenly she heard crowds of people clapping, she looked around and they were clapping for her! She felt embarrassed, no one had ever clapped for her. She felt her cheeks going red as she stood on the balcony. I could get used to life as a princess she thought.
'Elsa! Elsa!' she awoke suddenly. 'Elsa, you know you are not allowed in there!' It was her mum, she looked angry. She was back in 2020 sat in the middle of the room. Well I guess that was the end of being a princess! She couldn't wait till her next adventure!!!!!!
