A/N: Hello readers. Thank you for even looking at my story. This idea wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to try writing it. I'm not sure where it's going to end up, I just have a few ideas that I need to get out. Please review so I know if you like it and I should continue.

Ginny ran, sweat trickling down her neck. The Forbidden Forest was thick with trees and she darted through them at breakneck speed. She wouldn't have been able to run this fast if she had not been running for her life.

"Stop running Ginevra and I might go easy on your torture!" Yelled the voice of Avery Knot a ways behind her in the woods. She was thankful for the thick forest, the only thing that was protecting her from a spell from his deadly wand. Run Ginny! She thought to herself. Keep running, not much longer. You'll make it. Her lungs felt like they were on fire, but she couldn't stop. She wouldn't stop.

"Oh Ginny." She heard called from behind her. Knot sounded satisfied with something. "Look who I have. It's your friend Luna."

She stopped suddenly, but still didn't turn around. Keep going! She urged herself. He's lying, Luna's hiding. Still she couldn't shake her fear that he might actually have Luna. She began to run again, though not as fast as before.

"GINNY, RUN!" She heard the piecing scream of Luna yelling to her. "RUN AWAY AND DON'T LOOK BACK, GINNY!"

No! No, Knot could be magicing his voice to sound like Luna. It's not really her. But what if it is? She couldn't shake the thought. She stopped and hid behind a large tree, knowing she would never forgive herself if he did have Luna and she just kept running. Knot's footsteps were getting closer and she could see Luna's fighting form flying along behind him against her will. Oh GOD! He does have her!

He was getting closer and she knew she had to do something, had to help her friend. He was 35 feet away… 30 feet… 28 feet… She drew her wand and stepped out from behind the tree just as he reached 25 feet from her. "STUPIFY!" She yelled, but he ducked at the last moment and the curse zoomed by him and hit Luna full on in the face.

She crumpled and Knot thrust his wand out and yelled "CRUCIO!" She dodged the curse, but only by diving off to the side. "Stupify!" Knot yelled this time and she just had time to pull herself behind a tree before the curse hit exactly where she had been laying.

She quickly peeked out from one side of the tree and yelled "impedimentia!" Knot dodged this curse too, but with much less ease than the last time. Knot used a different tactic this time. He knelt down by the crumpled form of Luna and pointed his wand at her.

"Toss your wand out and come out from behind the tree now Ginevra." He called dangerously. "Or I swear on Salazar's name, I'll kill her. And not with the usual killing curse either, I have something much more painful in store for the little mudblood."

Ginny didn't hesitate, she did as he asked and was standing before him with no wand. "Stupefate." He said simply and she was unable to move, frozen in place. "I think I'll put on a show for you Ginny." His voice dripped with mockery when he said her name. "Enervate." He said as he pointed his wand at Luna. She was aroused from her sleep and he kicked her sharply in the stomach. Ginny tried so hard, but she couldn't move. "Crucio!" He yelled, subjecting Luna to excruciating pain. Ginny was forced to watch as he tortured Luna to death, because she couldn't blink either.

It was the most horrible sight that her 16 year-old eyes could ever imagine. One of her best friends in the world being brutally murdered by a thoroughly evil man. She wished that the spell had taken away her hearing so that she didn't have to hear Luna's horrible screams. When she was finally dead Knot began to slowly walk toward Ginny with his wand held laxly in his hand. He was completely casual as if he had just done nothing more exciting than sit and read book, not murder somebody. He was just inches from her face now.

"Sorry Ginny," he said mockingly, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait for later before we can play." That was the last thing she heard before her whole world went black.

A/N: Well, there's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it, I decided to get right to the action. No, it's not over unless everybody hates it and wants me to not write anymore. Sorry it was so short, but that seemed like the perfect place to cut it off. If you like it I should have the next chapter up by December 19th. I have another story going too, it's called A Blazing Rivalry, it's a Lord of the Flies fanfiction and that was a shameless plug for it. Please review, I really want to know what you think.
