As Ginny continued to run she noticed the footsteps were gaining on her. She made a sharp turn to the right and ran into the forest, her speed slowing down as her legs began to shake from all the running. Ginevra! You have to get into better shape if things like this are going to happen… Of course I didn't know this was going to happen…
She ran as fast as her legs would take her but still not getting any further ahead. Ginny risked a glance behind her and saw the follower was only 30 to 40 feet behind her. Ginny felt something hard hit her foot, she turned her head back but it was to late to avoid what she had hit and she went tumbling to the ground. Her face struck something hard and she could already feel her cheek starting to puff and swell up. A headache racked her through her brain and her ears were buzzing.
Ginny glanced behind her seeing the follower still running but slowing slightly. Ginny knew that even if she picked herself up and started to run she wouldn't be far enough ahead to get away safely. She looked around for something, anything to help her. She rolled to her right and hid behind a tree, slowly standing up so she wouldn't make any sound she peeked out from behind the tree.
The follower came to a stop beside Ginny's tree, Ginny couldn't tell if it was a man or woman since they were wearing a dark velvet cloak, with the hood up over their head. Suddenly Ginny let out a silent gasp as she noticed her wand had fell out of her pocket and was lying on the ground beside the tree. Can't risk getting caught, she told herself. But I can't risk getting caught without it. She slowly got down on her knees and peeked around the tree again.
The follower still looking around looked straight in her direction, Ginny froze, fear washing all over her. "There you are." Came a deep voice from the follower, which was unmistakably a man due to the voice. Ginny felt her heart stop beating for that split second. She quickly grabbed her wand and stood up and starting running directly behind her.
She didn't risk a glance behind like last time but heard his steps closing in fast. She ran a bit faster but it didn't help any, he had caught up with her. He flung himself at her bring her tumbling down to the ground with him. She tried to crawl away, cutting her hand on a rock. But the man was pulling on her legs, pulling her toward him. She tired to kick at his face but he grabbed her feet almost pulling off her shoes.
"Let me go!" Ginny screamed as loud as she could and tried to pull her feet away. She succeeded at pulling her feet away and began to crawl away as she began to stand and run. She was a safe distance away when the man began to chase after her again. She turned to her right trying to get out of his view. She ran harder, and risked a glance back.
When she took that glance back she didn't see where she was going and began to fall down a hole. Ginny let out a silent scream to not draw the mans attention to where she was. Ginny scraped her palms along the sides of the hole, which was strangely made of stone.
As Ginny came crashing to the bottom, she let out a loud moan when she landed on her wrist. She lay there for a moment, gasping for breath. Then she slowly stood and brushed her self from the dust, wincing at her wrist which was probably sprained. She looked around her seeing that she was in a prison cell. Great… She moved forward noticing the door was wide open. Great! She thought a bit happy.
As Ginny left the cell she noticed many more cells but all were empty. Looking up she saw stairs that lead to the way out, which was cracked open slightly. As she quickly climbed the stairs she wished she had gone to bed instead of taking a stupid walk. She peeked out the door seeing a hallway that led both ways but no one she walked through the door and turned and closed it part way, trying not to make any noise, just incase someone was there.
She turned to her right and sighed glad the door didn't make any noise. But as soon as she turned she ran into a soft but hard body and turned and ran without looking to see whom it was she'd had enough of running into strangers. But the person reached out and grabbed her. "Wait, I won't hurt you." Said a smooth voice.
