12 minutes passed and she wanted some fresh air. She normally doesn't go out but I guess this time she does. She noticed that she had a balcony and so she went on there instead. She put her book on her bed and walked out. The school looked like a castle. I mean it was in Oxford! She realised that she smelled ash. It surly wasn't a good time now. She quickly headed inside. Alices mind: oh my lord.. not now! Alice put her trainers on and started to run to the lockers. She knew they would find her. At this moment she hated herself. She grabbed her door knob and twisted it. She tried again. Didn't work. The ash came around her. "Come out!" Alice shouted. There was a moment of silence. "So where's ur weapon?" A cold toned man asked. His voice echoed around the room. Alice sighed "I guess I'm doing it.. free- weapon.." Alice murmured. "Oh well," the man said in a loud voice "START!" Alice knew that if she didn't do something fast.. then she would have another "last straw"from The ashes. And she remembered the book. 2 men appeared out on no where and started to fight. Alice ran to her bed and quickly reached for the book. "Not so fast" One man said right next to her. He holded her hand so she couldn't reach for it no more. Let's just say something happened that made Alice land on the floor. Alice put her hand over her pocket. But the man didn't reach for her pocket instead he just simply stepped away from the bed and stood there. Alice frowned. "But why aren't they after my Dimond?" Alice said under her breath. Ash covered the book and it disappeared. But why were they after the book? Why do they want it? Why don't they want her diamond? These questions filled her head. lets just say there was a blackout..
