[h3]Mrs. Standiford[/h3]

"You are right Miss. Devonshire. Today is my greatest fear, and not because I have to tell you students what is happening, but because you are all in grave danger. We do not have time to go over the details of that danger at this moment. It is more imperative we get as far away from here as possible." The old woman took a deep breath and looked up at the main hall. It seemed to have grown larger, though there were no more windows or floors than usual. She shivered. "Please everyone leave now." For the first time in anyone's memory Mrs. Standiford's voice shook. The implacable woman seemed scared. She glanced at her daughter for a fleeting second, and then the doors to the school's bus opened.
