Forbidden Forest

Zelda was let down and she looked at Shadow.. " Thank you!" She said.

"You're welcome, but I wouldn't do that to many other times. I quite enjoy talking to the centaur heard, and I don't really want to get onto bad terms with them."

"Okay." Zelda said.

Shadow bowed her head and curled up under the tree, yawning quietly.

" So what are you doing here?" Zelda asked.

"Recovering from a little 'incident'" She replied.

Zelda smile and said " Oh.."

Shadow yawned.
"For some reason, there is a Ravenclaw in our common room."

" Hum." Zelda said.

"What do you mean by 'hum'?"

" That is strange." Zelda said.

"Well, I don't exactly want to recount what happened yet, I need to sort things out in my mind."

" Okay." Zelda said with a smile.

Shadow yawned again and curled into a tighter ball.

Zelda pointed her wand at a tree ,but soon remember and put it away.

Shadow smiled to herself. At least Zelda had listened to her.

Zelda sat down next to a tree and fell asleep.

Shadow decided to follow Zelda's example and fell asleep.

Zelda continued to sleep.

Shadow woke up suddenly as a twig snapped. Looking around carefully, she spotted several people in the gloom. She stayed still, straining her eyes and ears to hear what was going on.There were five people, all wielding wands. Shadow managed to hear two of them speak.
"Which one is it?"
"The cloaked one. Get it. Stupefy!" He pointed his wand at Shadow, Stunning her. He roughly tied her hands behind her back, picked her up and walked off into the forest.

Zelda continued to sleep as if she had been drugged.

Shadow managed to come round from the Stunner and sent a telepathic attack at Zelda, hoping to wake her up.

Shadow groaned. "Dorothy? Thanks, but we had better get out of here before they realise!" She stood up, rubbing her wrists where the bonds had cut the flesh slightly.

"She should be ok, the ministry won't be looking for her... I think. She seems to be drugged or something. She didn't respond to a mental attack that I sent her."

Shadow followed Dorothy, jumping at the slightest thing, keeping an eye out for danger. Some times, she saw people through the gloom of the forest.

"Dorothy, that wasn't funny. I can sense something..."

Shadow quickly followed Dorothy, her heart pounding.

Shadow had indeed sensed Torren coming and had stepped out of the way just as she arrived.
"Hello Torren, what are you doing here?" She asked.

Shadow glanced at Dorothy, noticing her curiosity and the slightly far-away look that she had when she looked into some one's aura.

Shadow bowed her head.
"Then we won't keep you. I need to get out of this forest anyway. I can't be in here right now."

Shadow nodded and continued through the forest.

Shadow turned to look for Dorothy, when some one grabbed her from behind while Dorothy's back was turned.

Shadow struggled against her captor's hold until the person injected something into her neck, making her fall unconscious. The captors nodded and ran off further into the forest.

Zelda woke up and looked around.. to her shock she found several cenars around her with arrows pointed at her... " Why do you come and sleep here?" The head one asked.. Zelda fell silent for she couldn't talk.

Shadow was unconscious, having been knocked out by the men. A trickle of black blood ran from a gash on her head.

Shadow came round slowly, wincing slightly as she frowned.
"What happened? Who got the license place number of that Hippogriff?"
