Chapter Ten- Captured in the chase
She was being hunted- well not really but to her it felt like she was. No she was actually being chased; chased by whom you might ask. One; Alastor Moody, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphradora Tonks and James Potter. Of which are part of the Order of the phoenix. Perhaps I should start at how Arya got in this situation. It all started early in the morning and Ten year old Arya was ordered by the alpha to take Hyla, Leo, Alexia and Sky- her fellow 'litter mates' and do a territory check.
They split into groups- Arya going on her own and searched in and around their territory for any rogue wolves or other potentially dangerous animals. She was by the river by early afternoon when she saw them, the order. It was obvious that they were looking for her because when James Potter noticed her in her human form watching them from a nearby bush he shouted "There she is!" Arya almost face palmed at her former father's complete stupidity. Instead she decided to make a plan.
She wouldn't let them know about her ability to change into a wolf so that meant she was left in human form, she decided that she would run on all fours like she used to before she could change into a wolf. 'But where to lead them?' she thought, Arya decided she'd either have to fight them off or lead them into a trap.
Thus we get to where we left of, Arya being hunted. She had already tried her plan of leading them to a trap unfortunately that didn't work, Moody had worked out what she was up to and put a stop to it although not before Sirius slipped down the mud slide that Arya created years ago screaming his head off.
Arya was no fool three of the people chasing her were aurors and one a werewolf she knew she would stand no chance against these people no matter how many spells she knows. As a spell barely missed her she knew she had to get above them, she was always good at climbing trees when she was in her human form.
Arya yelped when a cutting hex hit her right thigh "Potter! Stunners only!" she heard Moody shout. 'So it was father dearest who cut me' Arya noted.
Arya was slowing down because of her cut leg which was not good. The pain was excruciating so she resorted to running on her remaining leg and two arms. Finally she reached the tree she was after and she climbed it trying her best to ignore the pain in her leg. She climbed and climbed until she got to the part of the tree that was thick with branches and leaves. "Det mihi praesidium clypeus" Arya chanted, the spell was a protection ward; however it wouldn't last for long.
Arya felt the ward go up and leant back against the tree trunk in exhaustion, she looked down at her thigh; there was an enormous cut almost down to the bone. She winced when she saw it and knew that she would die if it wasn't treated properly. 'Arya are you alright? The others are back, why aren't you?' The Alphas voice said.
'I'm fine, just playing chase with a few order members that's all' Arya lied but she knew that he could sense it.
'You are hurt. What has happened?' The alpha asked
'They are after me and shot some spells. They cut my leg that's all. Alpha I doubt I'll make it back tonight, they'll either capture me or I won't make it back because of my leg' she replied truthfully.
Arya could feel the ward weakening as spells hit it. 'Be careful and return home soon' the alpha resigned knowing that Arya would never let him send out the pack to help her.
'I will' she replied.
The ward collapsed and she didn't have time to defend herself before she was knocked unconscious by a well aimed spell. The last she knew was falling out of the tree and thinking 'why does my life have to be so complicated'
