Jewels - Part One

Sadie couldn't wait to get to school. Her parents had told her not to breathe a single word to anyone about it, but the news was so exciting that Sadie thought she might just about burst if she didn't tell someone!
It was quarter to nine in the morning when the school bus arrived at the school car park. The grounds were full of children, chatting and giggling noisily. The surrounding trees glistened with the early-morning dew, and birds whistled overhead, dancing in the pale blue cloudless sky.
Sadie jumped off the bus the moment the doors swung open, and hurried towards the central fountain, her school bag thumping her on the back as she ran. As usual, Emily was waiting for her, perched on the edge of the glittering fountain.
"Emily! Emily...you'll never guess what!" Sadie gabbled breathlessly, collapsing down beside her friend. Soon, the story was out. Emily gaped in awe as Sadie explained everything to her.

Sadie's father had been visiting the mansion for the last few weeks to re-decorate the rooms - he was hoping to turn it into a holiday spot soon.
"Wow!" Emily shook her head slowly in disbelief. The old mansion really did give her the creeps! From the large, haunting wooden hallway to the narrow, cobweb-ridden corridors, evrything about the place was ancient and ghostly......
