The moon shined proud in the darkened night. It played as my guide as I was running from an eerie slithering sound stalking my every move. It felt like it was approaching me rapidly as I continued to sprint as fast as I could until I could no longer hear the sound. Taking a break, I clung to a tree while I had a moment to catch my breath. The tree bark was rough on the tips of my fingers. Drops of sweat rolled down my temples. A sudden ache filled my leg with great pain. The brief breeze of wind cooled my face slightly and there was a peaceful silence that was short lived when a hand suddenly grabbed mine forcefully.
Not expecting what to happen next, my arm was violently thrusted back behind my back and I was thrown to the cold, damp ground. "My Lord, come quick! I do believe this is the girl those filthy blood traitors think will be part of your downfall." A women's raspy voice rung. Moments later the silhouette of a tall man briefly appeared in my sight and then mysteriously vanished.
"Not for long." I was jerked up to my feet and pressed up against a uncomfortably cold body. He made me want to start running again from the dark aura he was radiating off of himself. My body was twisted around, leaving me to face his chest. A light from a wand was pressed up against my face. Suddenly several shadows filled the air.
"Let's get on with this now, shall we? Able to see his persona, he had very pale skin, and had the nose of a snake. He didn't appear to look human whatsoever which made me want to scream in terror. When our eyes finally met he seemed to be in complete shock when we both realized who each other were. I knew who he was right then and there. Tom. "Quinn?""Yeah." For a brief moment I felt like nothing was different and he had never left me, but we both knew it wasn't. That moment was crushed when I saw him grin maniacally. " I won't kill you yet, but here is a reminder I'm not the man I once was." His hand raised up high in the hair revealing how long his arm was. "Nagini" he summoned. "ATTACK."
The slithering sound returned and my face was met by a giant snake lunging towards me, fangs out in all.......
