Outside, the yellow and orange leaves gilded gracefully and the trees slowly swayed in the wind. As they walked inside they saw a painting of Molly’ s mother staring at them as they creped through the halls. They kept their heads low so then they wouldn’t be discovered by the house maid. Once they got up five stairwells they had made it to Molly’s room.

It had been awhile since she’s seen her room. She stared around the room and saw her old doll.She remembered playing with her on a white rug in the living room and curling up in bed with her on cold nights. She continued to look around the room and saw her wardrobe. She opened the wardrobe and saw her scruffy cream dressing gown then noticed an old notepad shoved in the back of a draw. She opened the notepad to see an unfinished story she was writing about a princess.

She slumped down in her chair and saw the clock her mother gave her at the age of six. She has chairished that clock ever since but never knew why her mother said to keep it safe. What could be so special about it. Mars jumped on top of the clock and pushed some sort of button! He immediately bounced off. The top of the clock began to open.  

They both gasped…there were two gold rings decorated with emeralds, rubies, amethysts and sapphires. They both gazed in awe. 

“That’s why she said to keep it safe,”whispered Molly. 

“I guess so. ”shouted Mars. 

Sound boomed through the house.The echoing made Mars’s ears shatter.

“Mars!”she whispered angrily, “The housemaid is coming!”

“Indeed she is.”said Hannah, the housemaid. 

She patrolled into the room and snatched the clock and the rings. She ran out of her room and locked Molly’s door.
