Calista 8

Draco 13

Blaise 13

Calista POV
It was July 31, a normal summer day. I was walking in Diagon Ally with Mother and Father (Draco and Blaise were at home) and I ran to the toy store. Father didn't like it when I did that. In public he would act all mean and demanding. At home he would just laugh at me acting like a small child.

"Calista please." said mother but I ignored her and grabbed a stuffy lion.

"Please mother! Father!" I said with puppy dog eyes. It was a golden lion with an orange main.

"Calista, that is the Gryffindor symbol." said Father. I gave him the eyes.

"Please? It is also the symbol of England. Please d-father!" I said in a whiny voice.

"Fine!" he said exasperated after I bugged him enough. I jumped up and down happily and took them to pay.

"And what are you going to name it sweetie?" asked the lady, out of the corner of my eye I saw my dad glare at her for giving me the childish idea. Not like I Wasn't going to name the lion.

"I'm gonna name him Mr. Lion." I said happily. My mom pulled me out of the store and we apparated home.

"Mother, Father." said Draco as we came in. "Calista."

"Hi Draco! Blaise!" I said and ran over. Draco rolled his eyes,

"Hello Calista." Blaise said, he always babied me. It was annoying.

"Mother, may we take her into the forest for a hike?" asked Draco, I knew she would say yes and I gave father puppy dog eyes to make sure he would too.

"Fine, Calista go change." said mother, I nodded and ran upstairs into my bedroom. I changed into my jeans, shirt and coat (mother and father didn't want to buy it for me but knew I would wreck and dress) I pulled my hair out of the braid and was pushing a blanket, sweater and some candies into my backpack.

"Are you bringing this?" asked Father as he walked into my room holding Mr. Lion. I ran over.

"Yes! Yes! Please daddy!" I said, he laughed and picked my small body up. "Daddy why you look sad?" I asked and hugged him. He sighed and hugged me back

"Because, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen." he said, just then mother walked in.

"Lucius nothing will happen to the children." she soothed and took me, put me on the ground then at the mirror so she could do my hair. "Now, please be good." she said as she put my long white blonde hair up in a pony tail

"Yes mother, father." I said, put on my runners, and my backpack. Grabbed Mr. Lion and ran to meet Blaise and Draco.

"Draco, we have been past this tree five times within the hour." said Blaise. I looked around and saw where I have played in the dirt over there. I gulped.

"Draco... are we lost?" I asked, he rolled his eyes.

"No Calista, we are not lost." he said, I nodded trying to believe him. I just couldn't. I knew we were. I remembered the tree. No matter what we ended up at the tree again.

"Draco, please don't lie." said Blaise in a small voice, I was doing my best not to cry. I wouldn't, I couldn't. Draco would be very angry if I did!

"Please." I echoed.

"I think... there is a slight chance we are lost..." I trailed off. I stared at him shocked. Did that mean we would die? Were we gonna go to a pit of hell? Would we see mother and father again? Ever meet Aunt Bella? Work for the dark lord?

I didn't want to die, not in this way. I wanted to die happy, not scared. I hugged Mr. Lion close to me and sat down against a tree, tears stinging my eyes. I remembered the candy in my bag. It would only last us two days if we were lucky.

"Calista?" said Draco as he looked at me, I could see he was sorry in his eyes. I didn't know if I could forgive him. I was scared out of my mind. When we got back, if we got back, I wouldn't leave my parents alone ever again. I may even sleep in their bed if I am allowed! I just want their hugs...

"Draco we are going to die!" said Blaise in hystarics. I knew if he kept crying I would too. So I stood up, holding Mr. Lion to my chest I took a deep breath and spoke;

"Lets keep walking, maybe we will find a way out." I said. They both nodded quietly and we started off again. I was in the front, leaving the way. I felt my ponytail bobbing on my head with each step I took. My backpack was on my shoulders and Mr. Lion in my arms.

"Calista, where are we going?" asked Blaise, I thought for a second. Where were we going? I didn't know, obviously they did know.

"Well... I... umm... I don't know." I stuttered. I could hear Draco gulping, probably scared to speak up but also scared of where we were gonna go. I noticed it was starting to get dark out. "Did you guys bring your wands?" I asked. They both stopped. It hit me.

They didn't bring them.

"Sorry?" they both said at the same time.

"What!" I screeched. It was getting really dark now, I couldn't see them. I pulled them to a clearing and started to pull the blacnket and sweater out of my backpack.

"We're gonna die!" whaled Blaise. I had the urge to slap him but I was upset. I had to stay strong for the boys, they counted on me to do that. I was their life boat, well their eight year old like boat.

"Stop saying that!" I yelled, he started to sob, I heard the sound of a head being slapped. Draco had slapped him. Crap, Draco was getting angry. I started getting tree branched and leaves. Putting them in a pile I grabbed a match.

"Bloody hell child!" yelled Draco as I struck the match and it lit with the glow of the small fire. I put it on my little camp fire pit, but the wind blew it out.

"I'm just trying to help us survive!" I said. They both didn't notice my voice crack, I hoped I didn't break. I couldn't last, I knew that. But I had to try. I wouldn't stop till I tried. I would be like that muggle story, the little match girl or something. I wouldn't give up hope.

"Well stop being idiotic!" he yelled as the wind picked up. I grabbed the sweater, throwing the blanket at them. "What are you doing Calista?" he demanded.

"You both share the blanket. I get the sweater. I'm smaller." I said and curled in a ball, trying to keep at the heat in my body, putting my hood on. I hugged Mr. Lion, and listened to the woods around us. Maybe we shouldn't be on the ground, maybe in the trees would be better?

But we wouldn't be able to sleep up there. I heard Blaise whimper in his sleep. Even Draco said mommy in his. I thought about my parents as I fell asleep...

This is the first chapter. I never realized it till about half way through but some of the story line is like the movie "Frozen" it is very scary just to tell you... it scared my friend who doesn't get scared O.o and now, please review.
