   Shoot. Not this again. Viktor and I both pulled our wands and prepared for a fight.

   Out of nowhere, Voldemort pulled up his sleeve and touched this... Well, it looked kind of like a weird tattoo. Viktor must have noticed the confused look on my face, because he leaned in to me "That's called a dark mark. He's summoning his death eaters." I made an O shape with my lips.

   I leaned in too. "But what are death eaters?" I asked. "They are like his followers." He told me. "They support him, fight for him, and protect him." Okey, so that's a little freaky.

   Anyway, he touched this thing on his arm that was apparently called the "dark mark" or whatever. As soon as he touched it, slivers of this liquidy-looking black gas appeared in the sky. They swiftly flew down towards us and landed behind Voldemort's grinning face.

   The black gases grew into people that I knew to be the death eaters. They were grinning crazily as well.

   Us being afraid, Viktor and I backed away from them. Voldemort raised his left hand and snapped his fingers that signaled the death eaters to encircle us.

   I gripped my wand tighter. Viktor and I turned back to back and started spinning slowly.

   A lady with very messy hair suddenly stepped forward, pointed her wand at me and yelled, "Stupify!" It hit me right in my chest and I fell back on the ground, having been stunned.

   Suddenly, a kind of chubby man and the lady from before pointed their wands at Viktor and both yelled "Expelliarmus!" Attempting to disarm him.

   Viktor, however, was quick to move. He ducked, jumped up, and yelled "Confundo!" As he pointed his wand at the man, all in one swift move. The man was clearly not too skilled with the quickness of it, and tried to move away, but the spell hit him in the stomach.

The spell, having been a confusion spell, confused the man, so he turned to Voldemort and not yelled, but screamed "CRUCIO!!" It was obvious Voldemort was not expecting his own death eater to turn on him like this even if it was the cause of a spell.

He raised his wand, but it was already too late. The spell struck him in the heart and he fell, squirming to the ground. Many of the death eaters rushed over to aid their master.

Viktor used this as a diversion to escape. He lifted me up, as I was still stunned and started running into the forest.

The few death eaters that hadn't ran to their master, started chasing, and shooting spells at us. Carrying me prevented Viktor from shooting spells back at them, so he struggled to take out his wand again and was barely able to point it at me.

   "Rennevate." He panted. I was immediately unstunned and he dropped me just after that, being unable to carry me any longer. I took my wand, and he took his, and we started shooting spells right back at them.

   These spells mostly included Stupify and Expelliarmus, but whatever helped us would do at this point.

   I hit one of the males with my stunning spell and they back and were quickly out of sight. Only 2 to go. I thought to myself.

   After about 5 more minutes of running non-stop, we finally stunned the last two and ran for a minute longer before we sat down to rest.

   Neither Viktor or I talked as we tried to catch our breath. "I have something I want you to know." Started Viktor. But he was soon interrupted by rustling in the bushes somewhere ahead of us.

   Our heads snapped towards the noise. What now? I thought. Please don't be another of those death sleeper thingies.

   Viktor and I started to back away as the bushes rustled again. Suddenly, a little bunny hopped out. I laughed at myself, having been scared of this little thing. I walked towards it.

   "Come here you cute wittle bunny wunny!" I told it. It hopped closer. "Rose!" Viktor called from behind me.

   "What?" I yelled back.

   "It could be dangerous don't touch it!" He told me.

   "Oh, Viktor. Look how this situation has affected you. How could you think a little baby bunny is dangerous?"

   "Just please don't touch it!" He said.

   "Whatever." I mumbled.

   I stretched out my arm to pet it anyway. "Rose! No" Viktor screamed.

   As soon as I felt the soft, warmth of the bunny's fur, I was warped to somewhere else. A place I didn't know. I was now inside of a broken down shack.

   I checked my surroundings. No light sources. No windows. In fact, there wasn't anything inside the shack except for a single door in front of me.

   I decided to open the door. It creaked as I pulled it open and much of the dust flooded out of the shack. I stepped outside. It was dark and muddy here. Plus, it smelled really bad too.

   I took a step further and I stood there for a second trying to take in all thats happened. I noticed I was slowly moving downwards, yet I was standing still.

   Being confused by this, I looked down.

   Oh.

   That would explain why I was sinking and the smell.

   It was a swamp.

   And I was knee deep in it with no wand, as I had left it with Viktor.

   Why can't I listen to anyone else?
