Chapter
Seven: "I knew how much he loved her."
{Val's Pov}
I screamed as Wormtail put the blade to my neck. He slid it along over my skin with the smooth part. I sighed fretfully.
"Try to get away and…well you'll see." He said smirking wickedly. I bit my lip and closed my eyes as tears ran down my cheeks. He would slaughter me. I knew he would.
He shook his head and walked to his cot. I moved my hands. They were tied together so tight they were bleeding, just as my ankles were. The masking tape over my mouth made it harder for me to cry, much less take in air.
I let out a whine. He walked over to me with the knife and gashed my shoulder. I held back the whimper as he cleaned the knife off. He walked in front of me. "And be silent!!" He roared.
I just closed my eyes and thought of Nail. The day we first met. I was troubled that I'd never see him again. I knew we were getting married, but I never actually told him how much I loved him. It would in reality take a lifetime to tell him, too. I loved him that much. I was bothered that he would come and try to save me. Why? Because he was injured pretty roughly. I sighed as I opened my eyes to see that Wormtail was eyeing me evilly.

{Hermione's Pov}
I gaped at the growing crowd. The only way that we could be safe would be to get out the house. The only way we could: would be to climb out if the window. The second story window to be specific. I looked over at Harry and Eli who were still arguing.
"Eli! Harry! Shut the hell up!" Clio yelled. The boys stopped arguing and looked at us. I looked over at Clio and smiled. "Thanks." I mouthed. Eli tapped his foot impatiently.
"What?" He asked sharply. I rolled my eyes. "We need to find a way out. The crowd is getting bigger." I said biting my lip.
Eli looked like he was thinking hard. "We have that ladder we used to use to get up to the attic when we used it for a clubhouse-"
"Because the door was stuck closed. I remember!" I squealed. Harry looked at us like we were nuts.
"Um, isn't it in the attic?" He asked. Eli hit Harry's head lightly.
"No, Harry, Nail kept it in his room for when he snuck out to meet Val." I said.
"Where is his room?" Harry asked. I smiled. "The next room over." Clio ran to the door and to his room. Five minutes later she came back with a ladder breathless. Eli looked at her confused.
"What's wrong?" He asked. "They're- They're in the house." She panted. I quickly took the ladder and walked to the window. The window I went to was facing the woods so we could get away easily. I opened the window. Harry walked over and helped me set the ladder up.
I looked at him and smiled. "Thank you." I said. He smiled back. "Your welcome, Baby." He whispered kissing my lips softly. Eli pushed us apart and climbed down followed by Clio, Harry, and then me.
We walked into the woods quietly. I grasped Harry's hand in mine. He looked back at me and smiled as if to tell me we were going to be okay. I squeezed his hand in return. We walked deeper and deeper into the woods, until we saw a highway. There was a car on the side of the road.
"NAIL!" I screamed letting go of Harry and running to the thunderbird. I looked inside the window. I saw Nail unconscious, but no Val. After thirty minutes of prying the door open we got Nail out. Clio wiped his cuts and took her sweater and wrapped it around his slashed leg.
Nail opened his eyes slowly. I smiled down at him. "Hey." He smiled back and sat up slowly. "Where's Val?" Were the first words out of his mouth.
"Nail, um, Well…you see…-" I began. Nail looked at me sadly. "Where is Val?" He asked sharply.
"We don't know. Do you remember anything?" Harry asked. Nail shrugged. "No. Wait there was this guy. I think Val screamed something like Wormtail…" He trailed off.
"Oh shit!" Harry said out loud. Clio and I helped Nail up. He put his arm around me and we began to walk to find Val.
When I looked at Nail he looked sad. I felt sorry for him. I knew how much he loved Val. He just never acted like it. My heart broke when I saw how sad he was. "Nail, we're going to find her." I whispered.
He looked ahead and looked back at me. "I hope so."
