Chapter 3: Death Eaters
The environment drastically changed just as the portal pulled them in. It's still night-time. They were outside now at what seemed to be a campsite, a huge campsite. Camps were laid across within miles and miles. All of them seemed to link up to one huge black wooden building with large opening at the top like a football stadium. Fireworks painted the sky above it consisted mostly of red and green. Shooting up and down above the building as well were what
"We're in the book," Justin breathed out as he looked around the place.
"What?" Alex quickly replied.
"Alex, look around you," Justin explained. "We're at the Quidditch world Cup. The Bulgarian are fighting against the Ireland right now."
"Quid-what?" Alex asked back. She doesn't really know anything about those Harry Potter related terms because she never read any of the books.
"Quidditch World Cup," he replied for her. "This is where the-"
He stopped.
"Justin," the rebel Russo spoke out, curious of what's wrong with her brother. She stood next to him.
He reached for his wand at his back pocket and held it hard. He urgently turned to her and ordered, "Take out your wand and stay close."
She did what he told immediately even though she still confused. Unlike him, she doesn't know what going on next in this chapter of the book that they're in. They went off with Justin leading them. Deeper they went into the jungle of camps, the quieter the atmosphere. Something was bound to happen in any moment which what Justin most feared off.
"We need to hurry!" he breathed out as he took Alex's hand and pulled her forward. He quickened his pace which Alex and Harper found hard to keep up. Suddenly echoed from the distance a woman screamed out shrieking the sensitive eardrums of any individual.
"Not now!" Justin let out.
"What are you talking about?" Alex asked.
Out of nowhere a fire ball flew through the air and landed on one of the camps igniting huge explosion. The impact made them blinded and fell back. People were seen running away in one direction which was where Justin, Alex and Harper stood. People were screaming, pushing and heating their way through away from the centre. Justin tried his best to hold on to his sister and Harper.
However, the seemingly never-ending swarm of terrified people kept pushing in through making Justin to lost track of his Alex. He accidentally let go of her.
"Alex! Alex!" he called out for her. Luckily, Harper was still there with him but not Alex. "ALEX!!"
Alex found herself lied down on the dried up ground with her wand still clasped to her palm. She slowly stood up and found that her surrounding were already burnt down by the fire. The smell of burning cloth filled up her nostrils and the black air-less smoke shunned out her eyes making her difficult to see.
"Justin! Harper!" she called out. No one answered except for the sound of wood crackling in the flames and people screaming for help. Holding her wand close to her, she aimlessly wandered around the campsite. The more she wandered, more worried she gets. Trying to keep her fears in content, she held her breath as tears started to fill up her now puffy red eyes. "Justin! Harper! Max!"
"Where are you?!"
All of a sudden, she was slammed down to the ground hard. She noticed earlier that nothing had hit her. She was invisibly slammed to the ground. Noticing that her wand was a foot away from her reach, Alex tried to get up, to no avail. It seemed that she was glued to the ground tight. She can't even raise up her arms or legs or even her head.
"Kill her…" said an eerie voice.
Alex looked around to find who said that. She let her eyes roamed down below her. There was a black figure standing not far from her. It looked like the figure was wearing a long pitch black robe with pointy hat or was it really a hat. She forced her eyes too hard so she could really see the figure. The figure actually made it easy for her as he slid forward swiftly.
At the sight of the figure, Alex screamed out for help immediately.
The figure was wearing a scary-looking mask which has white pale surface as pale as human bone. The figure raise up his arm as he approached Alex on the ground.
"Justin! Justin! Help me!" she cried out.
The figure pointed his long crooked wand at Alex. A lime greenish light started to emerge from the tip of the wand. It started to glow up widely.
"Justin! Anybody! Help me! Please!"
The bright green lights flashes onto Alex. She screamed as she shut her eyes.
