Chapter 13

I ran to a spot close to a waterfall, tripping and falling into the mud. Could this day get any worse? My vision was flooded with tears, my clothes were covered in mud and ripped, a large gash on my leg where I had fallen.

 I didn't care, I couldn't feel my injuries at all. I sat up, hugging my knees to my chest as I sobbed, hugging my arms as I leaned back against a rock. Somehow it felt worse, getting rejected by both of them. I just felt hurt.

I was always going to be just a friend, I should've been happy with that, and yet I hoped for more. I was stupid to hope for more. I looked up to the sky, the sun's warm rays mocking me for my tears. It felt wrong, the world around me being so beautiful and yet I felt so dreadful. 

I screamed into the air, a mournful, pained cry that felt good to release. Hadn't I gone through enough? I had experienced amazing things while at Hogwarts, but some truly terrifying and downright depressing things as well. I wished then and there that I had never said anything, that I could take my accidental confession back. 

But I couldn't. And now, here I was, covered in gunk and bleeding. I sat and watched the world go by for awhile, watching mongrels and deer walk by, the rabbits and occasional spiders. Animals weren't complicated like humans. I sighed, wiping my eyes. I couldn't stay here forever.

As I went to get up, I stumbled back down, the pain of my gashed leg now becoming exceedingly apparent. I shuffled toward the waterfall and river below it, dipping my leg in. I hissed in pain, gasping at the sting that was now rushing through my body. 

Compared to this, my head was an easy injury. Soon the stinging eased, and I slowly got to my feet. My leg was still painful, but i clenched my jaw and started to walk, pain reverberating with every step. I sighed heavily. I'd need to find Sebastian and Ominis sooner or later. 

"Well well, looks like you don't know when to leave." My blood ran cold. The Ashwinder from yesterday. I turned, scowling as I looked at him dead on. I was in no mood for any of his games. "You know what I want. Let's cut to the chase."

Our duel must have been loud, as I cast a barrage of spells at him, defending myself as he sent curses my way. I was holding my own, but due to my leg I wasn't able to move around a lot as I normally would, my agility disadvantaged. 

The Ashwinder after a while seemed to notice this, smirking. "A bit slow are we? Diffindo!" before I could react, several large cuts were slashed through my swollen leg. I screamed, falling to one leg. "You may as well just give up love. You're not going to beat me." He laughed.

 It was true, In the state I was in, I wasn't going to beat him. I started to wonder if I even should. I took a deep breath, getting to my feet, wand at the ready. "You want to die with dignity, fair enough. I want to have my fun with you though." 

The hand holding my wand trembled, my grip loosening. I knew exactly what that meant. I clenched my jaw, stepping forward. "BOMBARDA!" I cried, getting him directly in the chest. He flew backward, smacking hard against a tree. 

I cast a spell at him, hitting him while he was down. Then another. Then a few more. Anger coursed through me, as I stepped closer. He scrambled backward. "You need to leave me alone." I said menacingly. He looked into my eyes, fear finally gracing his features. "You wouldn't-"

"I took down Victor Rookwood and Theophilus Harlow. I did so alone and without aid. The only thing stopping me from doing the same to you is my patience, which I am running dangerously low on." I was standing directly above him. 

I kicked his wand away, pointing my own at his nose. "You get one chance. Leave, and don't come back. Or I swear to merlin I will hunt you down and take. YOU. down. Understood?" He nodded. I stepped back, watching as he crawled and then ran, grabbing his wand and disapperating.
