The girl sat at the table, brushing cobwebs off of ancient books as the wind howled in the distance. She sat in an old, forgotten Romen Libary. It was starting to get dark. She took one of the books and tooked at the cover. She couldn't tell what it said. She brushed her hand over the hard, leather cover, tracing the ingraved symbols and patterns with her fingers. She turned the old book over in her hands and a piece of paper slipped out. She unfolded it, tried to make out the words, then gave up and and put it back in the book. She sighed and began stacking the books back up. She had found them in a chamber in the libary. "Bella...." she thought she heard. She swirled around and saw nothing. Who would be saying my name? she thought. She turned back around and gathered the books. She felt a hand come down on her shoulder, gripping it tightly. She froze in place, almost droppnig the books. "Thanks for finding the forbiden books, Isabella" the man said. Forbidden? Had these been the powerful books she had read about? She didn't move, she tried not to breathe. She closed her eyes, but when she opened them she saw that the books were now gone. They had just disappeared in only a couple seconds. But the man turned her around, another man was holding the books. She tightened even more. The mans grip also tightened on her shoulder. How much for can I take? she asked herself. The pain was overwelming, it hurt so bad. She suddenly screamed. Not only because of pain, but fear. The man covered her mouth. But she fell over, to tired and scared to do anything more.
When she woke up she was in a prisoner cell. In the other room she saw black swirls coming for the book. It's all over she thought to herself. Then man walked into the room. The power the books had gave him filled the room. It serpassed her skills, making her faint again.
When she woke up the building she had been in was destroyed. It was all over.
