The little bell on the shop door gave a little "ding" as Camilla Doveton and her mother, hand in hand, walked into the dusty, vintage second-hand shop. This place was by far her least favourite place to be in, but her mother insisted on her coming with her. She gave a faint sigh as she breathed in the eccentric smell of mothballs. Her mother was the kind of parent who adored everything old fashioned and vintage, hence her most admired shop was the biggest op shop in all of England.
Camilla's mother greeted the shopkeeper with a delicate smile and continued observing the items on sale. Slowly, Camilla slid down onto the dusty tiles when a certain piece of jewellery caught her attention. The object had a gold coating that shone as the sunlight outside reflected back on it. A short piece of bright yellow metallic chain had been drilled onto the top of the piece of jewellery. Camilla couldn't explain the feeling at the time, but she was immediately drawn to it. Her azure blue eyes grew larger with amazement and surprise as she lifted the lid off the pocket watch.
