Black Lake

First topic message reminder :

Jamie blocked his eelings from her all he needed was for her to find out about this flame inside

Natalie did the same.

"I thought I saw something...over there," said Bellatrix to Voldemort, "shall we take a look."
"Why waste time Bellatrix, looking for something you think you saw?" hissed Voldemort.
"Well, what if it was them," said Bellatrix.
"Fine!" said Voldemort exasperatedly, "but I'll get cranky if its nothing Bella."
They started to proceed towards where Natalie and the others were standing.
"Crap," Natalie whispered, "back away slowly you guys...they're coming for us."

"Slowly?" Holly askd shrilly, "SLOWLY? NO THANK YOU!"
She grabbed the nearest two, Shadow and George, and dragged them back toward the solitude of trees.

Natalie took out her wand and ran as Voldemort and Bellatrix began to approach them at a more rapid pace.

Holly let George make his way to her shoulder, and used her free hand to take out her wand.

"That's them Bella!" Natalie heard Voldemort shout excitedly, "It's the mudblood and her friends!"
Then he said something she couldn't understand....it sounded like another language, and all of a sudden, a huge snake burst out of the ground and blocked Natalie and her friend's path.

Voldemort sneered.
"Get them Nakini!" he said, and then he said something in the other language again.
Natalie realised that Voldemort must be speaking Parseltongue, the language used to talk to snakes.

Holly swore. A four letter word beginning with S.
She then stumbled backwards and tripped on Natalie.
"Sorry," she muttered, looked at the situation logically, saw their only way out and yelled, "RUN!"

Shadow turned to her friends.
"Go! I'll hold them off!" She hissed. Turning back round, she stood directly in their path.
"Well, look what dropped out of the dragon's butt." She said coolly.

"Holly...we can't leave....Shadow may need backup," Natalie whispered to Holly, and ran over yo Shadow.

"I said go!" Shadow spat, turning her head to look at Natalie. "If I need help, I'll contact you."

Natalie nodded.

"Come on Holly, she can contact me," said Natalie, grabbing her friend and dragging her away.

Shadow breathed a slight sigh of relief and opened the link, allowing Natalie to see what was going on through her eyes. She looked at Voldemort.
"Come on, are you frozen or something?"

Natalie, as she run, could see Shadow looking straight at Voldemort. He looked menicing, red eye's flashing oin the light.

Shadow watched Voldemort carefully, waiting for him to make a move.

Holly glanced at Natalie.
"What? Whats going on? Is she alright? TELL ME WOMAN!"

Voldemort drew his wand like a sword and Shadow summoned her magic. The two looked each other in the eye, daring the other to make the first move.

"I can see Voldemort, just standing there...and she's waiting for him to fight," said Natalie anxiously, "Oh, wait....he just drew his wand."

"Checkerboard," Holly murmured, "If anything happens lemme know,"

"Well, if it isn't my unfaithful Death Eater." Voldemort said, walking around Shadow in a circle.
"You never gave me the choice to join or not." Shadow replied. Voldemort pointed his wand at her.
"Where are your worthless friends?"
"Some where."
"Tell me!"
"Not in your wildest dreams! Arias curse you!" Shadow spat.
"Crucio!" Voldemort hissed, the spell hitting Shadow's back. She stayed on her feet, eyes closed, fighting the pain. She closed the connection between herself and Natalie, afraid that she would feel the pain.

"Crap....she's closed the connection...or else somethings happened...I'm going back to her," said Natalie quickly.

Once the curse had been lifted, Shadow opened the connection, and heard Natalie saying that she was going to come back.
No, She said, Stay where you are.
"I said tell me where they are!" Voldemort snarled.
"No!"

Holly looked at Natalie panicking.
"Whats happening now? Something bad? We have to go! If something happens......what if something happens?"

Natalie stopped.

She walked back to Holly.

"She's ok, she just blocked it for some reason," said natalie quietly, "she's refusing to tell Voldemort where we are."

Shadow watched Voldemort carefully before aiming a kick at his head. Voldemort knocked her aside with a spell, throwing her to the ground. She sprung back up again, throwing magic that he stopped all too easily.

"Arias bless her," Holly said solemly, "But we arent running while shes in DANGER Natalie!"

"You're right....we need to go back," said Natalie , "were coming whether you like it or not Shadow."

I'm not in danger. Shadow said through Natalie. Voldemort used the distraction to grab her around the neck, slamming her into a tree and pointing her wand at her.
"Where. Are. They?" Voldemort snarled.
"Not telling." Voldemort pressed harder against her neck and Shadow fought to draw her breath. Kicking him away, she fell to the ground, breathing heavily. Voldemort kicked her, and she didn't move, apart from glaring up at him.
DON'T!!! Shadow screamed through her mind.

"Well?" Holly demanded off Natalie, "Whats going on?"
She glanced out from behind the tree at Voldemort and Shadow in the distance. Shadow was on the floor.
She tore out her wand.
"ACCIO INVISIBILITY CLOAK!" she yelled, and in a second, it was covering her.
She began the descent down the hill toward Shadow and the others.

Shadow sensed the others nearby and feared for them. She struggled to get back to her feet, but Voldemort pointed his wand at her.
"Immobilus." He said. "I don't need you anymore, I can see your friends." Shadow felt her hope and heart sink.

Holly froze. The "friend" was most likely her.
She swore inside her head and fumbled around for her wand, holding her breath just in case Voldemort was bluffing and couldnt see her.

Shadow watched, afraid, unable to move, as Voldemort walked towards Holly and Natalie, leaving Bellatrix to guard her.

Natalie ran up to Shadow.

"Where's Holly?" she demanded.

Shadow couldn't move, so she tried to tell her through minds.
Voldemort, getting closer to her, over there! She said.

Holly stumbled and tripped. The invisibility cloak fell over her, and she was completely revealed.
Having no time to think of a suitable protection spell, she sent an unimobilising charm at Shadow, hoping human magic repelled evil dictators'.
George charged forward aiming to scare Voldemort.
No such consequence was thought of, and Voldemort, smiling, sent a stunning spell at George.

Shadow watched Holly's spell come closer and braced herself as it hit. She sat up, relief flooding though her. She stood up, pure hatred flaring in her eyes, starting to go demonic as she strode towards Voldemort.

Holly swore again, and cast a spell to drag Phoenix back to her.

Shadow's demonic side took over her mind, but not before Shadow could direct her hatred at Voldemort.

"Phoenix!" Holly hissed, "We need a plan dude!"
She cringed as Voldemort and Bellatrix came closer.

Natalie did the only thing that made sense to her. She jumped on Voldemorts back and pointed her wand at his head.

"Do anything to them and I'll kill you, I swear I will," she hissed, "its me you want."

"Holy-"
Holly's eyes widened, but she turned back to Phoenix.
"Shadow's demonic!" she called over, "Its not safe! We need Raven!"

Shadow stretched out a hand, surrounding Natalie in her dark magic and setting her down a ways away. She continued to advance towards Voldemort, black magic crackling in the air around her, four-eyed, and furious.

"Like that," Holly added, and rushed to Natalie's aid.
"Youre alright kid," she said, and looked around desperately for George.

"No....wait.....she's using her demon side against Voldemort," said Natalie loudly, running over to Bellatrix and tapping her on the back.

"You lookin for me," Natalie asked.

"DID YOU JUST TOUCH ME!" Bellatrix yelled, and she ran as far away from Natalie as she could get, disgusted at being touched by a mudblood.

Shadow rose into the air, chanting under her breath. She raised her eyes to the sky before throwing her hands out towards Voldemort, a thick column of magic flowing from her hands.

Holly raised an eyebrow, kinda confused, scared for the safety of people.
She glanced down at the unconcious, yet breathing George. She covered him in the invisibility cloak and placed him carefully on soft grass before helping Natalie.

Natalie looked triumpantly at the screaming, crying Bellatrix, but then focus her attention to Voldemort.

"Shadow....what the heck are you doing?!" Natalie yelled.
