Draco felt a rush of fear throughout his body staring into the eyes of a werewolf. He was so frightened by it he couldn't even scream. He tried to get up and run but his body gave out from exhaustion.
"Please don't kill me!" He cried, waiting for the monster to strike.
Draco was shaking so bad staring right at the werewolf. The werewolf was starting back, and he let out a howl.
Out of nowhere Draco heard something barreling through the thick trees. His body buckled up in fear the werewolf had called more of his friends.
The adrenaline rushed through Draco and with the last of his strength he didn't even know he had, he took off away from the danger.
His legs felt wobbly and slow as he ran at the fastest pace he could. He tripped and tumbled onto the hard rocks of the river.
"DRACO WAIT!"
Were his ears deceiving him? Someone called his name. On his knees he turned around and who be saw was the last person he expected.
Charlie!
His mouth gaped open. "Charlie?!'
His red hair beaming under the full moon, "Draco! Are you alright?! Come here I got you!" Charlie exclaimed as he hoisted Draco up and letting his weight fall onto his body.
"Charlie we've got to get out of here! Didn't you see that werewolf?!" Draco shrieked.
"Draco it's alright. He's the one who sniffed you out, it's Graham. He's a werewolf." Charlie explained to Draco.
Graham walked up to them on his four legs, and stared hard.
Draco realized the scar is what should have given him the hint, but fear had overtaken him.
As Charlie helped Draco stand he said to Graham, "We'll aparate back, will you be alright Graham?"
The werewolf shook his head up and down. With that Charlie aparated Draco back as close as he get to the reserve.
The night crawlers were making the forest loud with life. The wind blew hard though the trees as Charlie now carried Draco on his back. Aparating had taken a tole on his body. Draco rested his head on Charlies shoulder.
Some branches brushed up against Dracos shoulder. "Charlie." He said.
"What is it Draco? Are you alright?" Charlie said picking up his pace on the dirt trail.
"Charlie, a Branch Walker saved me from the river. It pulled me out." Draco said
Charlie didn't say anything for a few moments. His foot steps sounded hard on the ground and swear poured down his face, "we're nearly there Draco, we will get you checked out."
"I know you don't believe me, I swear I seen it with my own two eyes!" Draco exclaimed leaning up against Charlie's back.
"Whoa! You're going to make me fall over!" Charlie shouted.
"Put me down! I'm fine! I know you don't believe me!" Draco thrashed around.
Charlie let him down off his back not wanting any confrontation.
Charlie held his hands up to Draco. "Draco please calm down. You've been though a lot. I seen you fall from over sixty feet in the air. Something must have happened for you to survive that, please I beg you though, please calm down."
Draco looked at the pleading Charlie and it made him regret his childish outburst. "Sorry Charlie." He said with his head down. "You're right. I do need to calm down. Lets get back to the reserve."
Together they walked to the reserve and went to the healing cabin. Belle had already been caring for another few reserve members who were in worse shape then Draco.
Belle walked over to Draco, "Take the free bed Draco I'll be right with you."
He nodded, thanked her and went for the free bed. Charlie sat by his bedside
Charlie began to talk as Draco rested, "Dot went beserk and hurt of few of our men once you fell. We eventually got her subdued. After that I came back to the reserve to get Graham because I knew he'd be able to find you. Lucky enough it was the full moon." He continued. "When I got back though... I had learned our old Indigo had been slayed." Charlie chocked back tears.
Draco sat up, "slayed?!" His eyes wide with worry as he seen Charlie upset. He grabbed Charlies hand for comfort. "I'm so sorry Charlie."
Charlie regained himself, "Yeah we figured whoever had done that might have been after Dot as well, which had caused her to be so wild when we found her."
Charlie laid his head on Dracos lap, "Now the reserve will be under full investigation, by the Auroras to see who's at the bottom of all this... I wonder will things ever be the same?"
Draco ran his hand through Charlie's hair, "I'm sure things will go back to normal Charlie. If they can't figure it out, me and you will."
"You don't know how happy I was to see that you were alive." Charlie said as lifted his head up and gave Draco a kiss.
