Run, Run, Little Badger
Fear blinded her as she clumsily ran through the ghost town that was once known as Hogsmade. High pitch evil laughter and screams of pain overpowered her hearing while blood covered the walls of buildings looking as if someone had began to paint the buildings red. As tears ran down Laura's dirty and exhausted face she began to curse her serendipity as the sound of footsteps behind her grew closer and closer.
'Those damn bastards, their enjoying chasing me like a pack of animals after their prey' Laura cursed mentally as she looked around for some kind of shelter.
Through there were many empty buildings with doors, walls and even roof's blown off none of them called out to Laura. None of them looked safe enough to hide in as odd bricks fell down onto the ground every few seconds. It seemed that she had two different options but they both resulted in the same way out of the situation she had found herself in, death.
'Being crushed to death by a building or being tortured then killed by Death Eater's can't be the only way to go' Laura thought with a silent whimper only to jump as a loud laugh came to Laura's ears.
Amycus Carrow had found her.
"My pretty little badger with your beautiful blue eyes and blond hair where are you?" Amycus sang mockingly as he drew closer and closer to Laura, "Do you not want to become my wife? I have some bad news for you my little badger, no matter what happens when I capture you you'll become my little wifeie!"
As the curl laughter echoed throughout the empty streets of Hogsmade tears of fear and apprehension poured down Laura's face. The mere thought of becoming Amycus' wife made her sick to her stomach, she had to escape, she had to find a way to freedom, to safety.
'Alright Laura, you can do this, just keep on running until you find help' Laura thought to herself as she pushed herself to begin running away from the Death Eater following her 'You have come this far and you cannot give up after coming so far.'
With a fresh wave of determination shinning in her eyes Laura quickly patted her pocket and felt her mother's favourite necklace hidden away safely in her pocket. The last time Laura had seen her parents her mother had turned it into a Portkey and made Laura promise her that she would always have it on her. There was now a high chance that it could save her life, that was if she could make it past the Wards that now surrounded both Hogwarts and Hogsmade that the Death Eater's had put up moments before they had taken Hogwarts and Hogsmade.
'I'm almost there, I've almost made it' Laura thought in relief as she spotted the tell tale twinkle of the Wards letting her know she had reached the edge of the Wards 'Just a tiny bit more running to do, just a few more minutes of running until you make it to safety!'
Just as Laura reached the edge of the Wards and a relieved smile blossomed on her face the angry voice of Amycus cried out causing horror and fear to replace Laura's short lived relief and hope.
"Accio Laura Madley!" Amycus cried out loudly and powerfully causing the upset Hufflepuff to fly back a short distance into Amycus's waiting arms.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Laura cried out as tears fell down her eyes, she screamed and punched and kicked only to find her efforts where in vain "Let me go now!"
"Run, run, little badger," Amycus whispered gruffly into the still struggling Laura's ears, "Because if you get captured by me you will find yourself in my bed-OW!"
At Amycus's words of her in the same bed with Amycus Laura lost it and bit down hard on Amycus wand hand causing him to not only let Laura go but also drop his wand. As Amycus took a step backwards Laura did not allow herself to lose a single second, quickly she scooped up the dropped wand, pulled out her mother's favourite necklace and began running in the direction she had just been magically dragged from.
"You little BITCH!" Amycus yelled out in anger as he began looking around the ground for his wand only to find no sign of his wand, "Get back here girl! Give me back my wand!"
A victorious smile appeared on Laura's face as she continued to run and ignored the shouts of the Death Eater behind her. As long as she continued to run and did not look back then this was now an even chase and Laura's chances of making her way to freedom had just drastically shot up.
"No! I refuse to even be in the same building as you, you filthy flea ridden bastard!" Laura shouted out at the top of her lungs knowing that she was already marked for death so it would not matter what she said, "If you want a wife so badly you should start with having a good bath first! You really need to learn what warm water and soap is!"
"You filthy mouthed badger!" Amycus roared out in anger as he began running towards Laura, "When I get my hands on you I'll make sure that you never-"
Amycus words where cut off as Laura ran out of the Wards, pulled out her mother's favourite necklace, clearly spoke the password and disappeared only to reappear in the safety of her parents arms in their small safe house in the countryside of Spain until the end of the war.
End.
