Running out of time

Chapter 1

Everyone settled into an uncomfortable silence. James was glaring at Sirius while the eldest Black tried to apologizes countlessly. Tabitha was sitting near Regulus and while he was trying to get to know her, she blocked out everything that boy was saying; she didn't care for anything but learning about her daughter. Remus and Pandora were blushing messes, holding hands and sharing some chocolate. Barty and Marlene were starting to get to know each other - Barty having moved to the Gryffindor table- Marlene was hesitated but if they had a child together she may as well learn more about the boy. Everyone froze when the screen flashed on.

The screen was pitch black, until a sudden noise was heard, it sounded like a shaft creaking its way up. The sounds of the cables wiring could then be heard before finally the screen lit up. A young woman gasps awake and starts throwing up water.

Gasp filled the hall, none more dramatic than Sirius who was trying to make James laugh. He did not.

The women back up as her breaths thickly.

Many glance at Regulus and Tabitha, it was clear this was there daughter, she looked just like Tabitha but with Regulus's grey eyes.

"What's happening to my little girl!" Tabitha demanded, glaring at her future baby daddy when he tries to place his hand on hers.

"She'll be okay." Regulus said with a tight smile, his eyes laced with fear for his princess.

she gazes at what is around her, trying to figure out what was happening to her, and where the hell she was. She stands up quickly, looking down at the endless darkness, realizing she was stuck in some sort of elevator. An animal like scream from one of the boxes makes the young woman jump back and realize that everything in the elevator looks to be going to someone. Looking around frantically for some type of weapon, wanting to protect herself from whoever she was going to meet.

"Thats my girl." Murmured a proud yet still -not that she would admit it- Tabitha. Regulus decided to stop the brave act and was shaking from nerves.

The box continues moving at a zooming rate, nearing the top of the shaft. The woman finds a knife in one of the boxes and hides behind the animal crate, ready to attack. The box slams into the ceiling and she falls more back into the corner.

A bright red light surrounds her, before the light turns green and the box abruptly stops moving. A beeping sound made its way through the air before complete darkness overtook the screen, the young girl stays quiet, and she looks up at the ceiling allowing the great hall to see her face again.

The girl didn't have to wait for long because a screeching sound of metal doors and the brightness from the outside make the woman tuck herself more into the corner.

Get ready to attack baby girl." Whispered Tabitha.

We see the top of the elevator now opened and a bunch of boys' faces staring down, looking for something. A boy with weird eyebrows jumps down into the boxes and starts to search around, still hidden in her corner, the girl peers up at the boys and a glare makes its way onto her face, eyes full of fear.

"No, no, no..." Many of the older girls in the hall cry in fear, it seemed that Ada was going to be the only girl, and they didn't know how these boys were going to react.

"Why does she have to be around so many boys." Regulus moaned, Tabitha slapped his head.

"Where is the bloody green bean?" A British voice from the top of the box questions. His voice makes the girl visible shiver like she can't remember where she knew it from.

"Fuck off.." Regulus snapped quietly to the boy on screen, no one seemed to hear him.

"Well, I don't fucking know, maybe they didn't send one this time... hold on" The eyebrow man's eyes caught movement in the corner behind the pig, "Hey greenie, come out!" The woman looks determined and jumped up from her spot, everyone gasps in surprise but before they could question it the girl charges at eyebrows boy, tackling him over before standing on his head and pushing herself up and out of the box, the boys on the top moved back in shock, leaving the girl time to run.
