Trapped in the Past

Chapter 3

The sky had grew darker and I was alone in the forest with nowhere to go, with no magic to protect me. I felt hopeless and stupid. If only I listened to Hermione and did not even think about changing the past. I should have moved on because that was the only thing I could and should do. I got nervous and panicky. I could feel the sweat started to form on my forehead. Felt like a dementor. I look around. Nothing. Stupid stupid stupid! Even if it's there, I can't see it.

Walking back and forth did not make it any better. But I stopped and think through what I could possibly do then. Probably die at the different century.

So suddenly something came up to my mind and I decided to do it. I walked around the forest and tried to find firewood. Once I had got them I start a fire. I watched the fire burn and gave me heat for the night while I reflected on what I have done. Then, I felt asleep and before that, I remind myself, "What an idiot."

I jolted frantically from my sleep when I heard the sounds of dried leaves, rustling. My heart beat were accelerating like a racing car. I saw a group of bandits before me as they walked towards me with the creepy look on their face.

One of them said, "hmm.. Princess Katarina... What a pleasant surprise... " I looked around me finding this Princess. I did not understand what they meant. I was so scared because I had no magic in me and I knew no one will help me. I tried to run. Somehow I got caught and I was thrown over one of the bandit's shoulder.

So they carried me everywhere. Once a while, they would seat down and take a rest. During that time, one of the bandit who sat in front of me would be staring deep into my eyes. He had a gorgeous eyes. His hair was long for a man. He would look great in a man bun. "Do you mind, to NOT stare at me?" I asked, with an annoyed tone.

"Hmm I will stare at you as long as I want, Princess.." Smiled the bandit. I rolled my eyes and looked away . If you are a little less creepy, I would ask you to marry me.

A while later, it was time to move. Like what he did before, he threw me on his shoulder. Once in a while I would tapped on the bandit's shoulder and kicked my legs up and down just to push him off balance. But I failed.

"I can walk and I have nowhere else to run." However, I received no respond. Seems like I was skewed. The bandits stopped. Since there were some knights up front. Finally I got to walk on my own. The bandit who were staring at me, look at me once more and winked. I gave him a disgusted look. "What is your name?" The man smiled, slowly getting closer while i retreated.

"I thought you will never asked." he smirked while I gave a fake smile. "My name is Gwaine. and I know you are interested in me... I could try and take you away. We will live happily ever after." bragged the bandit. At that moment, I did not know what to feel; to be disgusted or blessed for meeting a handsome man. He had his hand on my arm.

I was very annoyed, hence I yelled at him," STOP IT! GO AWAY!" as I shrugged my arm. With that, he was thrown back five meters back. My eyes widen, with shock. Was that me? Maybe it was.

The bandits looked at me and slowly walked towards me, "i-i-if you are thinking I am the one doing it, you are wrong.. I have no magic..." I tried to convince them but they did not believe me. I did not have any more chances. it's just now or never. So I gave a vigorous swing with both of my arms and the bandits were thrown behind. It felt great to have magic once more. At least I know I had the power of telekinesis. However, Gwaine, saw it. He saw me doing magic. If that we called magic.

I ran away. But faster. I knew I ran for so long, so I stopped and tried to catch my breath. The muscles on my legs tensed and I hold the tree for support, just to know something else. My vision suddenly turn blurry within millisecond in a spiral movement and there I saw Slytherin killing a mortal with that familiar curse. I felt the pain of the man as I fell into the ground. The pain last for a few seconds. There I looked up into the dark sky. I blinked a few times. I got up and look around me, I was back to where I was. But did I even leave the place? I started walking again and suddenly I tripped and fell. Then I had the blurred sensation as I touched a twig. Once more, I saw Slytherin killing the muggle. But this time, I was looking at him. I was the man in my Premonition.

Wow.. so now I had Telekinesis and premonition? Why? Somehow, I did not know what else I can do, I did not know when my vision will come true but I had to try. Back in my time, I had read on Old Religion. Some people were blessed with more gifts. The witches had my kind of magic. Did that mean I was related to them now? I also had read that the charmed ones created their own spell. That sounded ridiculous but no harm trying.

I had to try. I NEED to try. I was not good with spell so I tried, " I need to save a life from an evil one. But I don't know how to find my way. In this darkness, I pray for light, so bring me to my innocent through an arch way." It truly did not sound like a spell. Sounded stupid.

With the power of magic, the vines from the tress, leaves and twigs formed and archway with the light shone down on to the ground. I smiled as I realised it had worked. I took a deep breath as I started my journey.
