Emmelyn found the bell and she gripped it tightly, trying to regulate her heartbeat before she finally rang the bell.
This was it.
Soon, she would know if their plan worked, or if she would be buried alive and died for real.

The bell was really small but the sound was quite loud because the space where Emmelyn was lying down was really small. Emmelyn's heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound for the first time.
She was worried other people would hear it. So, she stopped.
Emmelyn decided to wait and see if there was any reaction from outside. If not, she would ring the bell again several times to let Mrs. Adler know she was awake.
Fortunately, there was no reaction from outside by the startled guards. It looked like she was safe and nobody was guarding her grave as she feared.
Great. Now she just needed to wait.
