Lol hi. it's me again

{_____}

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

That's what I kept telling myself, yet I couldn't. I swallowed, trying to clear my airways, trying to get myself to breathe properly. But I couldn't. I opened my eyes, but everything was still black. What happened? Where was I?

That's when I heard footsteps. Well I assumed they were footsteps. All I could hear was a tapping pattern, getting louder as it got closer. Without my sight, my other senses were heightened.

Wherever I was, it smelt musty and damp. I tried to open my mouth, but there was some sort of material in there. It tasted dirty, like it had been used for other things and not washed. Gross. I sat up, feeling my hands and feet tied together. What the fuck?

What was going on? Why had someone abducted me?

Someone took the rag out of my mouth, allowing me to breathe properly again. I immediately started screaming, hoping that we were somewhere that someone would hear me.

"Shut up!" yelled a man's voice in my ear. I winced, leaning away from whoever that was next to me.

"You got her? You actually got her!?" another man's excited voice boomed from further away. I could hear him getting closer, as the other man laughed victoriously.

"Nice, man," he said, "did you leave any traces? What happened?"

"Hit 'er over the head," laughed the other.

I then started trying to talk again.

"Let me go!" I shouted, thrashing around, attempting to free my hands. I felt someone kick me in the abdomen, making me cough and wince at the pain.

"My dad will come looking for me!" I grunted, tugging at the ropes on my ankles. My legs were behind me, out of sight, seemingly, of the two men, so I continued to pull on the ropes. To distract the men, I kept talking, "He'll find me, and when he does-"

The men just started laughing. Laughing at me. Their laughter sounded rough, raspy even. One of their laughs sounded truly insane. I would be lying if I said it didn't scare me, but there was no way I would let them see that.

"What!?" I shouted. "What's so funny about any of this!?"

"Your father is the one who told us where to find you!"

My eyes widened and my breath hitched; he wouldn't, would he?

Third Person

Meanwhile

The kids followed Remus through the forest silently. Remus needed them all to be quiet in order to track down the sounds he heard. Sirius walked just behind him, glancing up at the boy every now and then but mostly looking down at the ground in front of him.

He felt guilty. Maybe if he'd have just listened to Remus when he said something they would have been outside in time to save her. Maybe it was his fault for putting the mistletoe there.

Almost as if sensing his negative thoughts, or perhaps he had heard something no one else could, Remus reaches his hand back and entangled his fingers with Sirius's.

It turned out Remus had in fact heard something, but not just anything. He'd heard a scream from somewhere not too far off. He heard faint shouting coming from the same area. With his ears perked up, Remus began to walk faster towards the noises. Soon enough the others were able to hear them very faintly too.

The group fell into a sprint - Lily having to carry Lara, and James having to carry Louis so they didn't fall behind - the shouting only getting louder as they ran. Remus led the group, being the fastest runner and knowing exactly where the sound was coming from, Sirius and James just behind him and Lily bringing up the rear.

The forrest around them slowly became a field of empty land, a single warehouse standing alone in the far corner. It was broken down and abandoned, no one had worked in there for decades. Another scream came from the building.

James swiftly dropped Louis safely on the grassy ground, sprinting towards that warehouse. Lily saw this and put Lara down next to her brother. "Stay exactly where you are, ok? Do not follow us, do not move." The twins nodded, that mischievous look wiped from their faces completely.

Lily ran after James, catching up with the others as they approached the warehouse. Remus was the first to reach the old crooked building, but he stopped before entering. As the other three caught up with him, Remus put a finger to his lips and pointed at his wand, nodding at the others to get theirs out as well.

"What are we doing!?" James shouted in a whisper. "She's in there!"

Remus shushed him with a knowing look. "The people who took her are in there too, listen."

They all fell silent as they strained their ears to hear what was happening inside. Surely enough, there were mens' voices coming from in there too.

"Ok, well let's knock them out! We need to save her!" James urged, his whispers slowly getting louder. He looked around at the other three with pain and fear in his eyes.

Looking over to Remus, Lily nodded.

"Alright, everyone at the same time, Stupefy," Remus led. "One, two-"

A painful muffled scream rang out from the warehouse.

All of them jumped and barged into the warehouse, wands raised and at the ready. "Stupefy!" all of their voices boomed, the spells hitting the two men directly in their chests.

The men were instantly knocked out and fell to the ground. Y/N, with her hands and ankles tied with rope behind her back, was squirming in the middle of the dark room. She had a rag stuffed in her mouth and a cloth tied around her head to cover her eyes.

"Y/N, oh my god, Y/N you're here!" Lily ran over to her best friends side, taking the rag out of her mouth and untying the blindfold. She embraced her friend in a tight hug, resulting with a grunt from Y/N.

"Ow," she groaned, wincing as she moved.

"Let me get that," Lily muttered, noticing the ropes restricting Y/N's movement. James, Remus and Sirius had now raced over to Y/N and Lily, James sitting in front of Y/N, holding her face gently.

"I'm so sorry, I should've- I didn't mean for- I'm so glad you're-."

Lily had untied the ropes around Y/N's wrists, allowing Y/N to wrap her arms around James's shoulders, pulling him into a tight hug as tears fell down her face.
