She couldn’t trust anyone, and always felt that people had ulterior motives.
However, she did find some comfort in her best friend, Grace, who also took up criminology for the greater good. The phone in Emily’s sweater buzzed loudly, which jolted her out of her jaded train of thought.
I’ve been thinking too much lately , she told herself, and sighed before taking the phone out.
She saw that it was Grace calling and a wry smile crossed her face. She answered the phone to let her know that she was coming back shortly. However, Grace was excited on the other end of the line.
“There is a huge parcel for you. It arrived shortly after I came in. I tried to call you, but it seems you never received it,” she said.
“Mother must have sent it, look again,” Emily replied reluctantly.
“No, you don’t understand. The packaging is old and frayed at the edges. I can’t describe it to you. I don’t think it’s from your mother though. Can you come right now?” Grace asked in one single breath.
What is it about the parcel that is so important ? Emily wondered.
Then, she checked her cell phone to see that there were indeed several missed calls from her friend. Emily walked backed warily without thinking too much about the parcel or her friend’s over the top enthusiasm. She decided to take the longer route back to the dormitory order to shake away those stubborn emotions. As Emily passed the Fletcher building, her eyes involuntarily went up and something made her stop in her tracks. She thought she saw someone at one of the windows.
Who would be up at the library at this hour ?
Emily heard another buzz from her phone and she was on her way once again. Now Emily quickened her steps; the temperature was dipping and she decided to head back to her dorm as soon as possible. Grace came rushing out when she heard footsteps outside the door.
“Emily, you’ve got to see the parcel. It’s huge and beautiful!” she exclaimed.
Emily couldn’t comprehend the reason behind Grace’s excitement. After all, it was merely a parcel. Yet nothing could stop Grace from dragging her friend inside to show her the reason behind all the elation.
Emily stood in front of the parcel and looked at it for some time. Grace was right; her mother and father would not have sent her the parcel. It was unlike any present she had ever received. The package was indeed huge, the size of a small end table and wrapped in old brown leather. There were also some writings embossed in gold thread all over the cover. Emily examined the parcel. It didn’t show the name of the sender, but it was addressed to her. Her parents or relatives never sent her anything even closely resembling the wonder before her eyes.
Puzzled, Emily wondered why someone would send her something like this. It was not like she received gifts every day, and it was neither Christmas nor her birthday. Her mistrustful nature kicked in and Emily began examining the package like evidence.
“Emily, just open it!” Grace implored.
Emily still debated with herself, but the urge was too much and finally got the better of her. She sat down and asked Grace to bring her a pair of scissors. While her friend rummaged through the kitchen drawer, Emily started to unravel the gems that lay hidden inside the package.
“Hurry up,” Grace urged from the kitchen.
Emily looked up at her without saying a thing. The package was beautifully wrapped as if some treasure lay protected inside. She thought it could have been delivered to her by mistake so she didn’t want to damage it. Emily inspected the leather wrapping itself, and it was extraordinary. She had never seen anything like it before. Once she removed the binding, she sat the leather cover aside and decided to open the box. Emily didn't know what to find inside and took a deep breath before going any further. She expected nothing and everything at the same time. It was an interesting feeling that at sat for the moment managed to
