Chapter 23: The Rescue
The next day nobody came and the following day also. I was hungry and I tried not to think about it too hard. The visions came now stronger and with more details. I could taste the blood and sometimes even feel some of the wounds. It was cruel. There were children being abused, women raped, people killed. And I all saw it. I saw the fear in the children eyes, the desperation in the poor women and I saw the light fading in the dead. After two days I was brought to Veronica. She looked down on me and sneered.
"Well, well. Do you want to tell us now what you see?" I shook my head. She would get nothing out of me.
"That is too bad, my child. Because now I will start killing others, if you don't say what you see." My eyes widened. She couldn't do that! The witch just smiled and waved her hand. A young boy, not older than seven, came pulled in. He had tears flowing down his face and his eyes were shining with fear. I sensed no magic so he had to be a muggle.
"Hello my dear! What is you name." Vickie had stood up and was now in front of the poor boy. He trembled.
"Martin… mam." She smiled and pulled a finger over his cheek. Then she turned to me.
"If you don't say what you saw, than this little boy, will be dead. And we don't want that, do we?" I shook my head. She can't be serious.
"You won't cooperate with us? Well then… Flint!" He had a knife in his hand and pulled it across the little boys arm. Martin cried out and tried to struggle out of the man's grip.
"Stop! I will say anything! Please don't hurt him anymore!" Veronica turned to me and smiled.
"Good." With a flick of her wand I was bounded and put in the corner of her room.
"Just say if you have a vision my dear. I will be happy to record it." And with that she sat back in her throne and gestured the man to take Martin away. I hope he will be okay. The poor boy. How can someone hurt a little child?
I was in a dark alley. Before me were two men hiding in the shadows. I saw a woman walking by the alley and the men nodded at each other. They jumped out of it and pulled the unsuspected person in the dark. She screamed and kicked around but the men were too strong. They tore her clothes apart and one of them started stroking the woman. The other had now succeeded and she was naked. He made quick work with his pants and…
I was awaken by a slap. Startled I looked up and held my cheek. A man was standing in front of me and as he saw that I was awake did he took my arm and pulled me to Veronica's throne.
"Have you seen something useful? Something that will help us?" She grinned down at me and something snapped inside of me. I stood up, a little awkward because of my hand bounded behind my back, and drew myself up to my full height. My eyes were in slits and I glared at her.
"Listen now! What I see is not what you want to know. You want to know when and where the best place for attacking is! Well I am sorry to inform you that I only see people getting slaughtered, children getting robbed of their parents, women getting abused. I can't control what I will see! The visions I have are just brutal and bloody! Not when the Aurors will come or if your side will have a good day. Maybe you should just start planning and strategizing, and not just relay on a little girl that isn't even sixteen yet! That is traumatized from her own family and that still has bounding issues! Damn it woman! You are not a good new Dark Lord when you can't even win one fight! Voldemort was at least not depending on a little girl. Even if he lost he was better than you ever could be!" I looked breathlessly at Veronica whose face was getting angrier and angrier with my speech. It was a dumb thing to do and I knew the second I began that this wouldn't end well. But she just pointed my wand at me and let me fly back to the corner I was before. She gestured for her loyal minions to come to her.
As I tried to listen in the conversation I noticed that I couldn't understand a word. There was a strange buzzing sound in my ears. I tried to get closer but the bounds restrained me. Veronica started laughing and I had a strange feeling of Déjà Vu. As I tried to grasp if this had happened before, the doors sprang open. Harry with Aurors behind him came running in. And then it clicked! I had seen this before. In my first vision. I gasped and Harry looked in my direction. He looked really angry as he saw that I was bounded. Without wasting time he started throwing curses left and right to get to me. I knew that Veronica would be behind me when he got here so I turned away from him and saw her hiding behind one of her minions. She also saw Harry coming and made a quick decision. She jumped to me and grabbed my hair. She pushed me around to look at Harry and pointed her wand to my neck. I listened to her voice, while mentally preparing what I would have to do.
"If you come too near, I will have to kill your little friend. Just step back a little and nothing will happen!" Harry stepped away and Veronica gaggled happily.
"That is a good little boy. Now drop your wand." In my vision I kicked her shin but then Harry had died. I looked him dead in the eyes and tried to say that he shouldn't drop the wand. He looked totally confused but decided to trust me. With renew power did Harry raised his wand at Veronica.
"You want her to die? And here I thought you would be again giving everything to rescue your friends!" She looked really angry.
"But you didn't saved my brother! No! You left him to die! I will revenge him and everyone else you killed!" I didn't understand what she was talking about, as did Harry, but the time was near to follow my plan.
"Well I will take her from you! You deserve it!"
"She didn't do anything to you! If you want to punish me than do it directly, not through a child." I scowled little at the word child. I mean I am still just a teenager and we hate it to be called 'child'. Veronica just laughed.
"Crucio." I felt the pain through my veins. That was the worst I ever experienced. She had so much rage in her that it felt like thousand knifes were plunging through my skin and as if my blood was on fire. But I wouldn't scream. And as I felt to the ground Harry fired his curse at her. She jumped to the side and fled the scene. I laid on the floor. Totally exhausted and so I just closed my eyes.
James p.o.v
I was pacing in front of the fire. I was sitting for five minutes when we arrived but now I was on my feet for nearly three hours. Fred and Louis were half heartily playing chess but they were still on the first game and just a few figures were out. This waiting was killing me!
"We have to do something! We are just sitting here twirling our thumbs!" I was totally frustrated! Minnie was gone and we didn't know if George was ok. Oh please just let her be okay.
"Do you think we like sitting here doing nothing?" Louis said. He looked a little hurt.
"We want to help her too! But what can we do?" Suddenly I had an idea. Without answering Louis, sprinted I up the stairs to our dormitory. I was in the room, grabbed the old parchment from my bed table and was downstairs in under ten seconds. Fred and Louis looked totally flabbergasted.
"It is just a little thing but we can watch the map until George will show up."
"James… I think they wouldn't come here. They would go to St Mun…"
"No! There she was kidnapped in the first place! They can't take her there." I sounded so pathetic that the others just nodded and we put the map next to the chest board.
