Caught Again

Magatha's POV

Kassie and I walked down though the vaults, talking about Dayved. Halfway down, we were stopped by one terrified girl, screaming at us.
"BACK AWAY!" the girl screamed, tip-toeing backwards.
"Lumos," I said, illuminating the cavern.
The tunnel went bright and cheery, except for the girl standing there; it was Sagittaria.
"Magatha?" she said.
"Grab her," I said, stepping towards her.
Sagittaria withdrew her wand, ready to cast.
"Expelliarmus!" Kassie loudly said, catching her wand in mid-air.
Sagittaria's once proud face sunk in, appearing gloomy.
I walked up, grabbed her by the arm, and Disapparated swiftly.

"Sit down," Dantriomir said, pushing her down onto a chair in the torture chamber.
"Magatha," Dantriomir said, "go back to the bank."
"Yes, my Lord," I said quietly, leaving the room.
All that could be heard after I left was the sound of screams and someone in unbearable pain...

Stelth's POV

"Sagittaria..." I mumbled, falling down on my knees out of breath.
After what seemed like hours of screaming her name, I dry-heaved on the ground, coughing up dust.

"A cracking sound swept through the cavern, banging against the walls.
"SAGITTARIA!" I yelled, tripping on the uneven rocky terrain.
"BUBBLEINA!" Dusk screamed, grabbing her arm.
Dusk and Bubbleina disappeared, leaving another cracking sound banging off the walls around them.
"STEL-" Sagittaria began, but was interrupted by a man grasping her arm, and whipping into the air clutching her.
"SAGITTARIA!" I yelled once more, even knowing that she could no longer hear me."

I could barely feel my legs; after metres of running, I still haven't reached the staircase beneath the bank. The crashing of rocks seemed to have died down, but once in a while the ground shook, notifying me that there was still collapsing wreckage up top. I was almost at the top, but was stopped by s falling rock that made me fall backwards. A man in a dark cloak and silver mask with Deatheater markings walked towards me, withdrawing his oak tinted wand.
"Stelth," the man said.
"How do you know my name?" I said, trembling in the cold caverns.
"You know me," the man said.
Slowly, the man pulled away at his mask; it melted into a thick black dust, which then trailed towards me.
"Tom," I muttered, backing away.
He was on the Slytherin Duelling Team, but technically he was Team Captain. Also, you can't forget to mention his seventh time winning the House Cup, which he crushed Hufflepuff.
"I always knew you were one of them," I said, spitting on the stone ground.
Tom smiled and laughed, pointing his wand at my forehead.
"You're going to come with me," Tom began, "or you're going to die."
Quickly, I dug into my pocket and wrenched out my wand; it sat on my hand, split in two pieces. The fall... it broke when I fell.
Tom laughed, pushing his wand closer towards my forehead.
"Back off," I said, hot headed.
"I'm not leaving unless I take you with me," Tom said.
"You might as well come," Tom said, "we have your girlfriend."
Tom toppled to the ground, feeling the shock of my pummelling fist smashing his jaw. I swung my arm down to smash his face again, but my feet we kicked out from under me, forcing me down on the ground. Tom proceeded to punch me; back and forth he swung his fist into my jaw. I felt dizzy and was in great pain. I dug my way out from under him, and kicked him down on the ground. He pushed himself up on his aching limbs, but was once again slammed in the nose by my knuckles. He stumbled backwards, holding his nose.
"You can't do anything about this war," Tom said, with a muffled tone because of his bloody hands covering his mouth.
"You haven't won yet," I said.
Airborne, Tom twisted and flew off the edge of the tunnels, hurdling down into the darkness below.

Zedmir's POV

"How are you doing?" Alan said, plopping down on the edge of the stretcher.
Instead of replying, I sat there breathing heavily and looked at the broken bank.
"Listen, Zedmir... I know this is a shock to everyone, but you're going to have to push on," Alan said, fiddling with his wand.
I sighed, then opened my mouth, "I know, it's just... my legs, I can't feel them anymore."
"We know, and we're going to see if we can do something," Alan said, smiling.
"You look horrible," I said, "well... we all do."
"Yeah," Alan said, twisting his head to look at the banks collapsed entrance.
Stelth shuffled out, pulling his body over the crumpled pillar, and limped down towards the crowd. The crowd cheered and clapped while Genesis directed him towards the stretchers where we were.
"You need to rest," Genesis said, pulling a stretcher out for him to sit down upon.
"Dammit, I've told you enough times, he has her!" Stelth yelled, pushing all his weight on his injured foot in attempt to stand.
Genesis swiftly tapped him down on the stretcher with his wand, then proceeded to examine my leg.
"Zedmir, can you feel this?"
Genesis bent down and started pressing on my legs.
"No," I said, getting worried.
"Can you move your toes for me?"
I couldn't feel my legs, or my toes. It was frightening and what if I couldn't walk again?
"No, I can't feel my legs."
"We're going to get you to St. Mungo's, alright?" Genesis said, setting my leg back on the ground.
"Alright, I think that's everyone who was in the bank," Gwyndolyn said, directing some guards carrying injured and deceased bodies towards the stretchers.
"Looks awful," Stelth said, looking at the burning bank full of smoke and torn stone.
"Gwyndolyn," Stelth said, "they took them."
"Who?" Gwyndolyn replied.
"My friends, Scott, Dusk, Bubbleina and... Sagittaria."

Dantriomir's POV

"Get up," I said, grinning at a bleeding Dusk.
"Let them go," Dusk said, peering over towards the wall where Bubbleina and Sagittaria were chained.
"No, I will not," I said sternly, "I need them."
Sagittaria was badly injured, and if it wasn't for the chains, she'd be falling off the wall; she looked exhausted.
"Scott," I said, looking towards the cage, "what do you say about joining us?"
"Why would I join you," Scott said.
"Because your friends are with me," I said, rising his curiosity.
