Twisted Wishes
Pain flooded her senses. Blood blinded her eyes from where it seeped on the cut on her head. Raw agony assaulted her nerves with each and every step she took.
Yet she continued to run. Where she was going didn't matter as long as it wasn't here. She had to escape.
Her ribs ached and she fought for each breath she took. She could hear them behind her, they were close.
Suddenly the girl came to a stop. There was no where left for her to go. The waves crashed against the cliff below her feet. Looking up to the sky as though in prayer, she fingered the golden chain around her neck.
Without looking behind her to see her pursuers, she closed her eyes and took a final step forward. Her hair flew around her like a halo. The wind whistled in her ears and she gave a small laugh. The ecstasy from falling causing her to smile for the first time in weeks.
Seconds before she reached the surface of the rocky waters she squeezed the pendent around her neck. It cracked before breaking. Shards of glass entering her hand, she paid them no mind. There was no time for the pain to reach her. With a sickening crack she was gone. And not to the foamy sea.
The men had been tracking her for days. The young girl was beyond invaluable. Whoever managed to capture her would be rewarded greatly by the Dark Lord. No question about it.
She was slowing. Blood trailed behind her as she fled toward the cliff. There was no escape. Once they cornered her it would be a simple matter of grabbing her and apparating back to the manor.
The group of men moved swiftly. Speed was of the utmost importance. The sooner they got her the better. She wouldn't last much longer out here. Her body was slowly shutting down.
They finally reached the bluff of rock and the girl came to an abrupt stop. The men grinned. She was trapped. They finally had her. But then she did the unthinkable. She stepped forward right off the great cliff. Not once looking behind her. Suddenly there was a loud snap. Like a tree splitting in half.
Rushing forward the death eaters peered down the wall of rock. The only thing there was the frothy waves and rocks. The girl had vanished.
