The struggle

Chapter 1

Hi, I had a dream and decided to make a fic out of it so here you go, I hope you like it. I don't own anything, enjoy.

"It's late, I'm sorry but I have to go my mum will be worrying. It's almost midnight. I will see you tomorrow at school. Bye." Emma said to her friend as she left. She got on her bike and checked her watch. "12:30! Mum is going to kill me." She thought. She raced into the forest to get back home as soon as possible. It was almost pitch black except form the occasional lamppost.

She was peddling so fast when she saw a figure in the distance. She slammed on the brakes and the bike came to a screeching halt just before the man's big black boots.

"Hello beautiful. Grayback I will allow you the honours." She stared at the man talking to her when two massive hands closed around her small waist, she screamed.

The large man known as Grayback held her wrists in place behind her back as another man started to search her. She struggled against the large man. A tall man walked towards her, he had long and messy brown hair with one single streak of red held back by a piece of string. He wore plaid pants, a large and worn leather jacket which covered numerous different shirts all worn and dirty. She had never seen anyone dressed in such a way.

"Don't struggle love it only makes him hold you tighter." (Referring to Grayback). "Oi, Scabior she ain't got no wand." Said the man that was quite roughly searching her. "No what?" she thought. Her thoughts where interrupted when the man that told her not to struggle (Scabior) put his nose close to her neck and inhaled deeply. He pulled away and smirked.

"I think I like this one, she could be fun to have around. What do you think Grayback?" the man behind her nodded his head and all of the men around her smirked which made her uneasy.

The man pulled back into her face and picked a lose piece of her hair that had fallen out of her ponytail when she struggled and placed it behind her ear. "What do they call you?" he asked.

She was petrified and could only whisper her name. "E-Emma Jones." She trembled. The man stepped back, Emma was grateful. "Well Emma Jones why are you out here all alone at night, eh?" he asked. "I-I." But before she could answer Grayback threw her to the floor and the rest of the men searched the area around them.

Emma was left with Scabior, "Get up" he ordered. Emma stayed where she was, she tried to move but she was paralyzed with fear. He reached to lift her up and she shifted away. She didn't want to be anywhere near that man. Suddenly her self defence lessons came flooding back into her and she kicked him between the legs and made a run for it.

They ran after her. Emma climbed up a tree "All those climbing lessons finally paid off." She thought. The men where close by, Grayback stood right underneath the tree and sniffed the air. "I can smell her." He growled. Emma's eyes widened. She looked around in an effort to find anyway of escape. She grabbed a conker off the tree and threw it into the distance in the hope that they will follow their ears and not their noses. They did thankfully.

Emma stayed in the tree until they had defiantly gone. She jumped down but caught her bracelet on a branch. She decided to leave it and make her way home as quickly as possible. This was only when she realized that she was in complete darkness. The lamppost that was near by had burnt out. She was completely lost. There was a weak source of light coming from what looked like a small town, she decided to go there.

There wasn't much there just an old pub, a few derelict buildings and a deserted café. She entered the café and sat down on a chair. She closed her eyes in the hope that when she opened them again she would realize that it was all just a bad dream. No such luck. Instead she found herself sat opposite the man that she had kicked before.

"Is this yours?" he got out a pink and gold bracelet that she got caught on the tree earlier. He threw the bracelet at her. "You should know that I don't like it when people don't do as I ask."

Emma stood up and backed away form the man. She backed up into something hard and cold. She turned around to see the man that held her earlier, Grayback. She gasped, then the man sitting at the table stood up and pulled out a long stick and said, "Stupefy" Emma felt herself being caught by the large man before everything went black.

Well that's the first chapter, tell me what you think. Please review, I hoped you liked it.
