Chapter 14 - Unwanted Wish

Mrs.Zoe's son had been staring at the gold coin that was presented before him. It was as if he was trying to look for something inside of it. After staring at it for a few minutes he spoke up.

"I'm not here to play games with Emma. go to school before I call your mom" Mrs.Zoe's son demanded with a stern face.

Emma had genuinely wanted the man to know the truth of what she had done to her daughter. Emma had refused to not let him know the truth and made a wish.

This time Emma had wished for something that was completely impossible to find anywhere making it absolutely impossible to not acknowledge the Wishing Box. It had been an autonomous wooden statue of Luna that was marching in the air.

"See, i'm not lying please believe me" Emma declared in a desperate tone.

This time Mrs.Zoe's son had stayed completely frozen as if he was shocked by the sight of the flying statue. After look at it for a few seconds he sighed.

"Go" Mrs.Zoe's son commanded.

"Do you… believe me?" Emma had asked.

"I said go" Mrs.Zoe's dad commanded in a louder voice but not loud enough to be considered a shout.

Emma didn't know what to do, but she did know what she had wanted to do. That was to go just like the man had told her to do so. But she couldn't yet; she had to make sure that he knew.

"Do yo-"

"I believe you enough to call the cops, now go before I do" The man shouted.

The man had looked at Emma with hatred. It was a new feeling toEmma she had been the one that usually did the hating. Emma had felt that she had deserved it, afterall she did kill his daughter.

Now that Emma was sure that he knew she had left with the Wishing box in hand preparing herself for the last part of the plan of redemption. Killing herself.

Looking back the man had shut the door loudly. Emma had made a silent promise to herself when she saw that. 'DOnt worry, I will repay all of you. For what I have done.

Emma continued on her walk till she had reached an alleyway. It had looked like the ones she had pass through before, with trash and puke on the floor despite the large dumpster inside the alleyway.

Emma had gotten on top of the dumpster. it was something that had fitted for her, the place where a killer of the innocent belonged to, the trash.

Emma had positioned herself in a way where she would fall into the dumpster when she died, and holded the Wishing Box tightly. Before she could make the wish a ton of memories had popped up in her head, one of her and friends hanging out and having a fun time. Another where Emma, as a kid and her mother were having fun in the park when it was summer break. A bunch other memories followed after they had been mainly about her friends and her mother.

Realizing who she was going to lose, and what could happen Emma didn't want to die. She had wanted to say goodbye to them at least.

But did she deserve it?

Emma had remembered that Luna had not gotten a chance to say bye either. Still Emma had wanted to say goodbye to her friends, and her mother.

Emma tried to ignore the wish she had truly desired and attempted to make the wish she had thought she needed to make.

"I wish to die," Emma whispered.

Emma had held her breath prepared for herself to die, but… nothing happened Emma was still alive and fine. Before she could even question why she didn't die she heard something from above her.

"Honestly, such a boring wish. You have a box that can make almost all of your wishes come true and you choose that. Just so disappointing" The voice discredited her wish.

Looking up to see who it was. Emma had saw nothing but the building that was in front of her.

"What are you looking for, boring wish person," The man asked in a playful tone.

Emma was spooked, she had nearly fallen off the dumpster, and killed herself in some unconventional way. The man had patched a long sleeved coat on and black shirt with a white pants. While having half of a broken glasses attached to the left side of his face The man looked very odd especially with the broken glasses and the multi patched coat.

"Oh yeah, would mind returning my Iron box to me, I have been looking for it for awhile now"
