This: text means that there is a definition to the word below. This is to help a wider variety of people to understand this. I hope you enjoy. I added two enters between each paragraph this time so that it is easier to read.

Sara had to walk to her room with the cloth firmly over her mouth. Fredrick kept a close eye on her as they walked to the room. Belle and Daine carried Sara's bags. Daine's legs were going wobbly and she was about to collapse when they came to a door. Belle pulled out an old fashioned, old, skeleton key. They door swung open with a protesting creak.

The room was dark and drafty with no lamp. The bed wasn't even a bed; it was an uncomfortable pallet with only wool sheets and a thin blanket on top of it. There was one desk which had a rough and bumpy surface. The chair that went with it was so unused it was coated in several layers of dust. There were no windows and the wardrobe was very badly made with perilous, rusted nails sticking out.

Rats, spiders, cobwebs, mice, and other unpleasant things covered all of the nooks and crannies of the place. The bathroom had no door, only a ragged curtain that covered only half of the open space. Inside the bathroom had the same residents as the other room but with slugs and random bugs attracted to water.

The bath was no more than a tin tub with a rope cord that when pulled poured water down. The sink was the same idea but the water came from the tub. The bathroom all in all was in horrid condition as was the entire other room.

Daine got the privilege of sleeping in an empty room that was fifty times nicer than what Sara had. Although Daine tried to convince the teachers to let Sara sleep in Daine's room with her they wouldn't do it. Sara therefore didn't get much sleep.

Sara had just drifted off to sleep when she heard the scuttle of claws against wood. When she opened her eyes and looked around nothing was there so she tried to sleep once more. The noise returned at the same point of her sleep as it had before. It did this four more times before Sara stood up and searched.

Fifteen minutes later the frustrated girl came back to her 'bed' with nothing to show for her efforts at finding the stupid thing. Sara's amount of sleep was no more than an hour. This made her even grumpier for the next day.
