Breanna's entire body seemed to relax when they said yes. She was planning on just having Sam along, but it was nice to have a third companion. Getting out of the castle was fairly easy. The locked gate, not that hard to open. The crushing darkness? Hardest yet. She felt as if someone was watching them as they moved silently along the path, none of them old enough to Apparate. She looked left and right nervously, looking for a sign of someone moving around in the tall trees. So far, nothing. She was going to turn around and tell Samantha and Draco about her worries. But, they seemed to be fine. They were holding hands, and Breanna didn't want to disturb them. She still felt the terror as she walked on, as if the person they were going to meet, decided to go ahead and meet them. She shoved down her fears, and walked on into the inky darkness anyway.

Walking the path to Hogsmeade seemed longer when not taken by carriage. The rain stopped about ten minutes along the way, and didn't start back up. Sam walked silently, thinking about what they were doing. Breanna hadn't said where they were headed, but Sam had a feeling it was not very close to where they were. The lights from the distance town of Hogsmeade shined brighter and brighter as they got nearer. Sam wondered if anyone at the castle knew they were gone yet. At that thought, she walked faster. Draco followed alongside her without question.

Breanna looked over as they walked up to her side, then back at the road in front of them.

"So, where exactly are we going?" Draco asked.

"What I have heard, he is living underground with his pack. Somewhere around the outskirts of London. I'm not sure if the train left yet, I heard a rumor the engine was having troubles. If not. . ." she let the sentence drag on.

"Engine troubles?" Sam asked, "What happened? Do you know?"

Breanna laughed at that, "Apparently, one of the first years spilled orange pop all over it when they were looking." she smiled.

They walked on in silence, as the sun began to rise behind them. Back at Hogwarts, people began waking up of class.


"Damn," Jason said rolling over. "The weekend went by fasts" he muttered over to Blaise, who was already getting dressed in his school robes. Blaise nodded, while shoving his head through a shirt. Jason rolled over, groaning, and slowly got up out of bed. Getting up, he noticed Draco's empty bed.
"Hey? Where did Draco go to?" he asked Blaise.

He shook his head "Dunno. Breakfast?"

Shrugging, Jason got dressed and walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. He later learned that Pansy said that Samantha was missing, too. They all thought that wherever they are, they were probably in the same spot. They all talked during breakfast, oblivious to the eyes watching them. Jason ate six slices of bacon and three pieces of toast, and a large amount of eggs, before he noticed Professor Snape looking up and down the Slytherin table. His eyes stopped on Jason, who quickly looked back at his plate, now empty. Looking up, Blaise and Pansy seemed to have noticed him staring also, for they were, too, staring blankly off into another direction. Five minutes later, footsteps approached them from behind as they walked through the big oak doors that lead into the hall. Turning around, they saw Snape and Professor Flitwick walking up to them.

"Hello." Flitwick chirped. "We wanted to ask you if any of you have seen Mister Malfoy, or Miss Prince. They seem to have gone missing?" he said. "Oh!" he added. "And Miss Ferendale from my House is also disappeared!"

Jason, Blaise and Pansy all shook their heads, barely breathing. "We were wondering where they went, too." Pansy spoke up. Flitwick looked disappointed, while Snape stood there silently, staring at them.

"Well," Flitwick said solemnly, "If they aren't found by tomorrow, we may have to tell the Ministry." Snape nodded and walked off. They all seemed to be able to breath again.

"Whoa!" Blaise said, "I think that they thought that we knew where they were."

Pansy nodded, "Me too."

"I wonder where they are?" Jason said, worried about his friends.


When they arrived, the train was gone. But it was just their luck, Breanna remembered a second hidden entrance in the nearby mountains. They ran fast, not wanting to be spotted, and arrived near a muggle-inhabited area. There were trails leading up to the mountain, and they had to pick which one was the right one.

"Oh, I guess we could stop here." Breanna said, pointing, as Sam protested, for the tenth time, that they were too tired to go on.

"We have been walking all night!" She said, breathless.

Breanna smiled, "Sorry." The three Hogwarts students walked over into a opening in the trees with a small wooden sign that read "Mountain Trail No. Seven."

They all walked quickly along the path till they came to a rocky area, boulders surrounding one side, trees, the other. Sitting upon a medium sized boulder, Draco nearly fell over from exhaustion.

"How much longer?" he asked.

Breanna looked over at him, "I don't know." she said simply. That's about all she had been saying the entire way there. Samantha jumped onto a large boulder facing the path, and looked down.

"So are we just going to stay here?" She asked.
"No, the entrance to Greyback's packs home is somewhere along this path. I just don't know where." Breanna said, sitting down. Sam sighed, then froze. Gasping.

Breanna and Draco looked at her. She pointed up the mountain trail, to a dark shape. Bear, was her immediate thought. But it was to small to be a bear, and to intelligent looking. It had dark brown fur and yellow, intimidating eyes, that were staring right at them. It seemed to be checking them out, seeing if they were dangerous. Sam pulled out her wand from her back pocket. Draco copied, but Breanna just gasped louder then Samantha when she spotted the beast. It seemed to have been frightened, because it charged of into the woods surrounding the entire area.

"Its one of the werewolves!" Breanna said. She jumped up and ran after it.
"Stop!" Draco shouted, leaping down. Sam jumped off of her rock, "We have to follow her!" she shouted. They charged off into the group of trees Breanna and the beast disappeared into. Running, they could hear Breanna shouting for the werewolf to come back, but it just let out a snarl. They ran and ran, not thinking about where they were going, when all of a sudden, they fell into a rocky cavern in the ground. Sharp rocks surrounded them on each side as they fell. Someone gripped Samantha's arm and pulled her to one side as they hurtled to the ground. Reaching out and grabbing onto lose rocks as they went , trying to slow their fall, as they tumbled down into the dark. Screaming, they smacked into the hard stone floor. Beaten and bruised, Draco and Sam got up, looking into the dark tunnel before them.
