It was a long way to the train station, especially with everything on her mind. Zalia kept on wondering, 'what if I never see her again? I'll be an orphan on the run! How will I survive?' But, little did she know what lied ahead of her and who was really going to be her villain. She ran in and bought a train ticket to the farthest station the train would take her. She jumped on the train just in time, and it took off with a flash.

It was past 6 when Zalia finally found her room, and it was at the back of the train, of all places! She went in and ordered some food to be delivered to her car. When it got there, she enjoyed her pizza and breadsticks.

The clock blinked 7:00, and she decided to look in her bag to see what to do. Inside was her journal, her books, her toothbrush and toothpaste, her brush, and that mysterious box.

She wasn't exactly hopeless, so she set the box aside. One by one, she put everything aside until she got to her journal. 'I could write in my journal,' She thought.

March 5, 1939,

It was a cold, dark, and lonely day. I had to be separated from my mom, and might never see her again. I HATE war, I don't know about anyone else, but it is stupid. We should not have to have war. I wonder why we do...

She suddenly dropped her pencil. 'Why do we have to have war?' Zalia wished she knew. About 10 minutes later, she heard a knock on her door. She slowly went over to answer it, but the men in black broke it down! She took a quick glance at the box and it was glowing. Before she knew it, she was knocked unconscious.
