Jamie woke up to a shooting pain in her back. She hissed, and sat up, rubbing the new mark. Her father could have chosen a better spot to give it to her she thought sourly, getting out of bed. She pulled a robe over her head, and went downstairs, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. She made her way down the stairs, check all of her father's rooms, but found no one there.
"Hello?" She called in the empty house, no one answered. Jamie felt a surge of energy enter her body. No one was home... if she was going to have any chance of getting away with Charlie, this was it. She ran down the hallway, and jumped quickly down the stairs, pulling out her wand. She mumbled the spell she had overheard her father say to open the door.
"Lumos" she said, entering the room. Charlie was standing at the far end of it, his hand's clenched into fists.
"Jamie..." He said, relaxing as she came over to him. She kissed him passionately, and he pulled her to himself, she hissed in pain as he touched her waist, and pulled away.
"Charlie, there no time... we have to leave. Now." She said, tugging his arm.
He frowned.
"Wait, they are just going to let us walk out of here?"
Jamie pulled him harder.
"No, but no one's here at the moment... Charlie, it's our only chance."
She said, dragging him from the room and up the stairs. They jogged side by side down the hallway, and Jamie opened the front door. They sprinted up the drive, hoping that she had been right about the house being empty. They made it to the gate, and Charlie slipped between the bars. Jamie followed him, but was jerked back suddenly. He looked at her, and she frowned, attempting it again. She looked at her wrist, realizing that the bracelet her father had given her was preventing her from leaving. She tried to take it off, but there was a strong magical bind on it.
"Charlie! I can get it off!" She cried panic in her voice. He frowned, and tried the clasp. They each tried a couple of spells on the bracelet, but nothing worked.
Jamie knew what she had to do.
She shoved her wand into his hands.
"Go Charlie!" She shouted at him.
He shook his head.
"No... I won't leave without you!" He said, trying in vain to open the bracelet
"Charlie, you have to!" Jamie said, starting to cry.
"They'll kill you if they find us here... go!" She cried, pushing him away.
He frowned.
"What about you? What will you do?"
" They won't kill me Charlie, he wants me alive." She said miserably.
She looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Please Charlie, I don't know how long we have..."
He kissed her hard on the lips, pulling her in tight.
"I'll come back for you." He whispered, pulling away from her. He went a little distance away, and looked at her sadly.
"I love you."
She nodded at him. He apparated away, with only a few moments to spare, her father appeared in the street, followed by what seemed like half of Azkaban. Many of the death eater's stared at her in shock, but she could only see her father's face. He was staring at her with murderous rage.
He motioned for the death eater's to go inside, and waited until it was only the two of them. He then walked up to her, anger present in each step he took. He slapped her hard across the face, knocking the wind out of her.
