Chapter two: Prisoner
On the other side of the mountains, a tall, cloaked man was slowly approaching a girl with dark blonde hair, and glasses. She was tied tightly to a tree.
"Please just tell me why I'm here. I haven't done anything." She whispered, desperately trying to pull her arms out of the rope.
"I'm afraid that information wouldn't be for your ears." The deatheater said savagely, grinning widely, revealing slightly blackened teeth. "I have strict orders."
Anna drew back as his putrid breath found it's way to her nose. She almost gagged. He grinned again, and turned to find a suitable sitting place.
She had lost count of the hours or days that she had been sitting there, tied to the tree. Maybe even weeks! The last thing she remembered was walking in Hogsmead with two of her friends. They had been Christmas shopping, buying sweets and chocolate, and that really nice glow-in-the-dark quill ink that her brother would have loved! Well, hopefully Marie had thought to pick up her bags when she had been grabbed from behind just outside of the Shrieking Shack. The man looked up. He had been the one who had kicked her friend in the shins when she had tried to pull her back.
"I hope you aren't plannin' your escape, missy. Now that wouldn't do would it! A lovely girl like you."
She whimpered softly, as her eyes started to prick. She couldn't let him see her cry. She blinked the tears back. Was she ever going to get out of this. Even to see her family one more time.
Suddenly there was a rustle of snow underfoot, coming from just ahead. She squinted through her blurred eyes. The mist didn't help either.
"Who is it!" the deatheater jerked up, pulling his wand out if his robes. He stood up starting to look around. He spotted a man coming from behind him, and got ready to spring up.
"Wot are you doin' Avery. It's just me, you idiot." The newcomer gave him a hard kick in the shin. "You should've been payin' more attention, wot if it was somebody IMPORTANT." He raised his eyebrows, and nodded to their prisoner.
"What, Somebody from that school"
"Shut up!"
Anna jerked her head, trying to hear anything else, but it was lost to the sharp wind that was starting to blow again. She shivered, and tried to stretch her back. She was painfully stiff.
They started to talk again. "…They should be here soon. What's the time?"
"Just coming to eight o'clock" There was a more sudden, gust of air, which threatened to knock both men over. "That should be them now…" Both men laughed haughtily. A chilling sound.
Anna attempted to look round her tree. She could see a shadow. No two. More were appearing every second, walking towards them. She could hear their low talking, but not able to make out what they were saying.
Avery spoke again. "First time in how long, Macnair?"
"Three years. We're ready though. The Dark Lord won't have anything to complain about. The plans all in order…"
A bigger figure than all of them appeared suddenly in the middle of the gathering figures. Anna drew back and gasped. She could see red eyes gleaming from the folds of his hood. A low hiss came from his direction.
"We are all here I trust."
