As I reached the top of the hill I stared back through the trees. Silence. Thank god for that, I was safe, the creature had gone. I stood very still, listening to my ragged breathing, waiting, waiting. Just then, a cloud shifted and the moon was plunged into full view of the castle and its grounds. A savage howl ripped the night apart, leaving me rooted to the spot, hardly daring to move. And then I heard it, the sound of a huge beast moving swiftly through the undergrowth, and someone being dragged along with it. I crept into the shadow of a great oak tree, trying not to be seen. Every second I waited, there was more chance of it finding me, and if I was caught, well…Sirius would never last the night.
And then I saw it, rustling through the bushes, its huge clawed feet dug deep into the earth, his thin legs showed every bone, every muscle, and his concave rib cage. But most disturbing of all was his face. His snout, four inches long and raised in the air, but his eyes, showed hunger, but behind, deep inside, showed fear, a man trapped. I needed to make an escape; I backed slowly through the trees slowly trying to get back to the castle, to get help, to save-
SNAP
I had taken one step to many and fell on a tree branch. Oh, god-it had seen me.
I ran for my life down the steep path tripping and falling, but picking my self up, and flying down the slope. I jumped off a giant grey bolder and fell, rolling down and down and down. I picked my self up, tears streaming down my bruised cheeks. I turned round. The werewolf was flying through the air towards me.
About to hit me
Its giant teeth bore
Mouth screaming in anger
Sirius, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you
Farewell
I'm going to die…
