It was a freezing afternoon in November.The cold spread all over the town.Frost formed,making a wave of ice over the buildings and streets of Bolton.But a shadow flashed and disappeared as quickly as it could.The weather had turned worse and worse each minute.Rose tugged her hat as a wave of wind blew.The cold spread across roof tiles,the shiny windows of a skyscraper and broken bricks shattering loudly.The park was already closed.Apart from the thunder in the stormy sky,it was silent……very silent.
Rose michelson ignored the fog.She was staring at the checkpoint in her way.She tugged her hat on her head,covering her shiny blonde hair as a gust of wind swept all over Angel’s street.
She could see an army looking man dressed in green and black inspecting people’s items.A line of people huddled closely like penguins,waiting for their turn.Rose watched as many of them were declined and their faces full of disappointment.On the other side of the border had everything cleaner and luxurious.Not like this side where everything was dirty and disgusting.
”Well hurry up then!I ain’t got all day kiddo!Shouted the soldier very impatiently.He waited as rose got her parcel out.”And where is a little girl like you going on a windy day like this?”he asked with a weird face looking further to inspect Rose’s worried face.”I’m delivering some toys to my dad’s business,”Rose replied,doing her best to look happy and honest.The guard looked down at the large parcel Rose had brang,he raised his eyebrows,tapped his foot and nodded his head.
A few minutes later,Rose was looking along the shining,clean streets of West Bolton.Here veryhting was litter free ,shop signs shining and people wandering happily as they went to stores.Oh how Rose was desperate to live here,having this amazing life unlike in her own town feeling poor and like a dirty slave.
Taking a shortcut down Silver’s Alley,Rose turned her head down scared to catch someone’s eye.Head turned down keep out of trouble.Her mother repeated irt many times.
She bumped into a man she had never met,rapidy approaching grabbing her hand and pulling her into the darkness of the Alley.
I’ll be having those,” he said grabbing Rose’s parcel.There was a stop.”Plus any money you have.”Rose ducked down and slapped the mon on his face and ran up the alley,running quietly down a railing.But the end was blocked by a metal wall.
The man’s shadow started to appear from the dark towards Rose.It seemed to stretch out holding Rose withit long arms.Rose was shocked.She saw the mans glittery eyes with greed as he went a step close,towards Rose.Then she saw a small door behind a pile of rubbish,A moment later,she was inside.
