Alright, I have been very busy. Exams, then new classes. It's all been crazy. I managed to type this in the last 5-10 minutes of class, so forgive the spelling or stupid phrases. I am sorry it is so short, I just wanted to post something, even if it is this small. When/if I finish this story I promise to read it over, fix everything, and make bigger chapters. Please be kind, but not too kind!
Enjoy mini chapter!
Severus felt for the pulse in vain, his whole body going into shock. Why the hell would she have done that? Her body was already going cold and shimmering, preparing to disappear. The mountain continued to shake, rocks beginning to fall and crush the utopia that once lay within. Picking her body up he ran through the tunnel with his instincts screaming at him to go faster. He needed to get away and quick. When he ran past the dead bodies of the guards they had killed to get in, he noticed that the sounds of battle had turned into a cry of triumph.
Confusion was a strange feeling for the once cold, distanced man. He carefully set Jessica's body down next to the dying Finian. Running over to the front of the fortress he was stopped in his tracks. All of the Death Eaters lay in heaps of black robes. There were no remaining enemies to fight. They had won. But how?
"You!" he snarled at the closest man. "What happened here?"
"Did you not see the green light? It looked like the killing curse and it hit every one of the enemy. Most of it went up through the clouds though."
Thunder shook the mountain and lightning struck the top of the tower. Cadman was yelling for everyone's attention, but few paid him any heed. Finally Severus bellowed out, "SHUT UP!"
Everyone grew silent and turned to the shaking man.
"Thank you," Cadman quietly responded. Turning to the men he raised his arms up to capture their attention. "Our plan is in motion. This world will soon be destroyed! The only say to survive is to enter the fortress and get into the tower. It will take us back to the real world!"
Everyone began to mutter and call out in disbelief. Cadman made no move to stop them or make them come forward. He walked toward the fortress gates, which were raised by the attacking Death Eaters. Slowly the men began to join him on his quest, but many remained behind. Suddenly the mountain began to shake violently, the peak crumbling. Severus was about to go and get Jessica's body, or at least grab Finian, when the rocks rolled through the paths and began to crush the remaining warriors. He hesitated before realizing that he had to accept the fact that she was dead. She had killed herself so they could leave. He ran to the fortress quickly, realizing that the time would pass in which they could leave. The shaking ground was making the fortress crack as he ran down the morbid halls and up the small stairways. Just as he entered the tower a light spread through the room and he was knocked out.
