HEY EVERYONE!!!! this one isn't very long (longer than the earlier ones, but still not very long), but its the lame fight scene i promised... so... yeah.. review!!!
AN: ok.. well.. i've taken forever to update, im sorry! but, ::sigh:: school is EVIL! and i've been overloaded with s00o0o much work and.. anyways. here ya'll go.
AN: guess what! this chappie has the lame fight scene in it.. beasically, its just the fight scene with another lovely ending (hehe. im sure you'll all LOVE it), but i have never been in a REAL fight, expecially not one like this.. so.. don't be too harsh. the next chappie, i think i'm gunna have a lotta fun writing (i would tell you why but it would give away what might happen), so i might have rushed this chappie, but i really didn't mean to!!!
AN: um... i HAD something to say here, but i dont remember so.. yeah... i'll tell you people later when i remember...
.... OH YEAH! um.. i may not be able to update for a little while, only because of school and stuff i dunno when i'll have time to write out the chappie. but, after the 8th chappie, i dont really have anything planned, so there might be some space between the chappies, but i promise i will update ASAP!!!!!

Chapter 7: Fighting Frenzy
Lily tensed up and sprung against James, pushing both of them out of harm's way. Out of the corner of her eye, Lily saw the jet of red light zoom past them. Jumping to her feet, Lily saw the Death Eater fade back into the forest.
"Damn it." Lily breathed as she pulled James up from the ground. Her eyes never once left the forest. Grabbing him by the wrist, Lily pulled James behind a clump of trees that would serve as a temporary protection.
"Lily, c'mon, we gotta go get Dumbledo-" James was suddenly cut off. Out of nowhere, four new Death Eaters came out of the forest along with the first. Lily's wand was at the ready and James pulled his out as well.
"We can't take them by ourselves-" James whispered urgently, only to be cut off by Lily's breathless voice.
"James- run. Go get Dumbledore. I should be able to hold these nutters off." Lily ordered as she took a stronger stance. The Death Eaters were.. well, it seemed as if they were gliding over towards them. Whatever they were doing, Lily saw they were coming at an amazing rate, looking for something or someone Lily thought grimly. James had to leave NOW if she was to hold them off for long.
"No, I can't leave you here. You run, I can handle this. No big deal, right?" James said, trying to step in front of Lily for "protection". Lily just rolled her eyes.
"Bloody hell. Stop trying to be some kind of hero, Potter. You know as well as I do that there is a much better chance of me holding them off than you. Just go! Now!" James just shook his head stubbornly.
"Lily, here they come!" James shouted as Lily pounced on the nearest Death Eater. Knocking the wand out of his hand, Lily managed to knock the man unconcious in a matter of minutes. Turning towards the forest, she saw five new Death Eaters come towards them. Oh Shit! Lily thought. Turning just in time, Lily blocked another Death Eater and ran towards James.
"James- Look, see how they aren't really walking. Almost gliding sort of?" Lily asked as she pushed James behind another clump of trees. The tops of said trees were flaming within seconds due to the spells sent by the oncoming Death Eaters. James nodded, trying to hold his shield spell in place.
"Well, we can use it to our advantage- their balance is way off. Oh crap!" The trees they had been hiding behind was suddenly blown away.
"Lily! Watch out!" James shouted as a figure clad in a white robe and hood sent another spell after her. Lily dodged it easily, bringing James along with her.
"Lily, they have reinforcements! Look! There's got to be at least 10 of them now!" James exclaimed as both he and Lily managed to stun one of the Death Eaters who hadn't been paying very close attention. Their combined efforts knocked the man right out.
"Well, 8, if you don't count that one and the one I knocked over before." James gave her a look that clearly said "Right- eight is so much better than ten". The pair started off side by side, but the fighting seperated them. Lily managed to kick, punch, and/or spell two more Death Eaters as James was doing his best duelling against another two. Lily, duelling a masked moron of her own, tripped, giving the Death Eater an advantage. He lowered his wand as Lily did her best to find hers, but suddenly he was pummled from the side. His head made a resounding CRACK as it hit a nearby rock, leaving the Death Eater's white hood ... well... not so white. Lily regained her composure and smiled her gratitude.
Behind James' back, a Death Eater had cast yet another spell in his direction, but Lily managed to knock James out of the way and send a hex right at the Death Eater, knocking him out. Five Death Eaters down, five to go. Lily thought with grim determination. There was no choice but to fight- no one else was out at 9, not those days, it was too dangerous. The castle was too far away to make a run for it- they'd be dead the moment they turned their backs. Her face set, Lily shielded herself from a curse sent by Mask-man number 6. Physical force, while sometimes inneffective against a grown man, worked wonders at the right moments.
Muggle fighting was so foreign to these racist pigs that they never thought to protect themselves against it. Taking a running start, Lily managed to knock the guy straight into the ground. He pushed her off, and they both scrambled to their feet. He began to float towards her once again. Throwing a Banishing Charm at the floating Death Eater, she was pleased to see it pushed him yards away and smashed him right into another tree.
In another battle, those still standing might stop to help their fallen men, but in this one, no one in the white robes seemed to notice much beyond their own duel.
"See James?" Lily yelled. "THIS is one of the occasions knowing that spell we were talking about would be beneficial!" James smiled at her stab at humor, but didn't have the energy to say anything. After knocking out the Death Eater who had been taking cheap shots at Lily, he was doing his best to survive the double-team-attack he was currently under. Lily rushed over to him and took over on one front.
Within moments her duel was over, only for another to start. James managed to knock out his duel partner with a spelled rock right to the head. Ducking behind a pile of rocks, James managed to catch his breath. They had knocked out eight guys, by his calculations, so why was there another six men in front of them?
James heard Lily scream. Jumping up, he saw two of the Death Eaters were holding Lily as another prepared to curse her. James pointed his wand at the first one and shouted the first curse that came to his mind.
"Petrificus Totalus!" The Death Eater's legs and arms snapped together and he fell forward, unable to move. In the moment of distraction, Lily managed to pull free of the two bumbling boys with a few placed kicks and dodges, and with help from James they managed to knock the pair out. James ran over to her, trying to stun another Death Eater while he did. The man deflected it with ease and sent another towards them, which Lily deflected with a bit more effort. She was exhausted- they both were. But Lily refused to give up.
They had knocked down eleven guys- wait, eleven! Lily realized that more must have come. A quick glance showed her that there were still four more Death Eaters. Two to four- they could handle that. Turning quickly, Lily thought she heard something behind her. Her feet were sluggish and she tripped. Swinging, she haphazardly hit one of the Death Eaters, knocking his wand out of his hand. Losing her balance, Lily fell, but pulled the masked man down with her. Luckily, she managed to keep from getting injured by the fall, but she was trapped underneath at least 150 pounds of some prick who hit his head on something hard and sharp.
"Oh, bugger!" Lily muttered as she managed to pull herself up from underneath the Death Eater- thankful he was on the smaller side (have you seen the size of some of these cult followers? bloody huge!). Standing up, Lily looked for James. He was curently wrestling a Death Eater while another tried to get a clear shot at him.
"Get away from him!" Lily yelled and charged at the Death Eater, who dodged her easily. Turning quickly, Lily put her wand at the man's chest and yelled.
"Stupefy!" At such close range, there was no way to not knock the man out. He fell, his eyes still wide in shock at being spared- he had been expecting much worse. Lily turned and was shocked to see James unconcious on the floor, with two Death Eaters closing in on him. But Lily didn't see the two as they glided over towards the fallen boy. Stumbling over herself with tears in her eyes, Lily ran towards James. It would be all her fault if something happened to him! She just couldn't bear to think that he could be hurt...or worse, dead.
Stupidly, Lily failed to notice the Death Eaters that were dangerously close. Leaning over James, checking for a pulse, for anything to show that he was alive, Lily felt a chill enter her back. Everything suddenly felt numb. The last thing she saw was James' face, his eyes wide open in shock. Vaguely, Lily realized he must have been stunned.
Then, it all went black.
AN: ok, another cliffie. im sorry!!! but, its necessary cuz the next chappie has to like be on its own, it wouldnt be the same if it continued on in this chappie. i am really looking forward to writing the next one (cuz i kinda know what its gunna be about) so if you REVIEW REALLY REALLY FAST i promise to update soon!!!!!
