Chapter three: Running from the Darkness.
Fred found himself in unfamiliar surroundings. As he looked up to the sky, a deep blood-red sky, he noticed that the sun was dark, and releasing a strange neon glow instead of normal light. Black clouds were forming like smoke billowing from a chimney. He was no longer at Hogwarts that much he could tell. But how had he got there? There was a city behind him and as he turned to investigate his surroundings, all he could hear was agonizing screams and what sounded like spells clashing together in the distance. But then the scenery changed, he wasn’t in the city any more; he was in a field, running from the rain. The rain looked bright yellow from this distance like pure Acid was falling from the ominous looking clouds, Acid that could kill mercilessly. A little girl of no more than four years of age was stood not to far in front of him. She had platinum blonde hair and strange glowing green eyes. He did not know her name nor had he ever seen her before now, but he knew he should try to help her. She was so small and innocent, but her pure white dress was splatter with blood. Fred wondered where the blood had come from until he paid more attention to the field in which they were stood. It was occupied by a mass of dead bodies. There was only an occasional patch of dry brown dirt amid the slushy and mostly red mud; red from being saturated with blood. Dead bodies lay in heaped mounds and completely surrounded them. The young girl smiled before turning and started to run away from Fred. Before he knew it he was running after her, dodging as best he could the decaying corpses. Suddenly the little girl tripped. Fred put out his hand to help her, but the acid rain, it was so close, he knew he had to keep running. There was nothing to be done but hope her death was a quick one. Unfortunately, it wasn't. He turned to tell her keep moving, to keep running. “Get out of the rain!" But it was too late... As she finally managed to stand, and with a wave of tears streaming down her virtuous face, the acidic drizzle covered her unprotected body. Fred knew he should run, but he couldn't he was frozen to the spot. She let out torturous screams of terror as her tiny body was instantly overwhelmed by the excruciating pain. Her screams were so harrowing and terrible Fred had to cover his ears. 'No one should ever have to suffer like that,' he thought to himself. But he knew if he hadn't had left her they both would be dead. He watched in horror as the bubbling acid ate relentlessly through her soft young flesh, blood poured down her arms like a crimson waterfall. Her skin had all but disappeared, leaving only vulnerable muscle exposed against the downpour. Her bare skull was visible, and yet she continued to shriek in torment. He watched until her bones crumpled and were finally gone. The black cloud approached with a quickened pace and he turned to flee. "That fate will not befall me!" His body ached as he ran... How long had he been running? Where was he going? He didn't know, but he hoped he would soon be there. There was only so long that he would be able to stay a few steps ahead. Fred could see a cave merely a few hundred feet in front of him, as well as a familiar face. Keilana greeted him at the cavern's entrance. She acted as though none of this bothered her, like she was surrounded by a green meadow full of butterflies and flowers but yet nothing could be further from this gruesome scene. The pair embraced before Fred started to walk deeper into the cave, Keilana never moved a muscle. She simply stood at the entrance staring over the field of acidic massacre.
Just as his consciousness began to awaken, he heard Keilana say something, only very faintly but he heard it.
“I'm sorry Riley...”
Fred sat bolt upright in bed, glistening with sweat. As he peeled the covers off himself, he thought about what he had just heard.
“Riley?” He knew that name. Keilana had mentioned that that had been her little sisters name. But why would he be having nightmares about Keilana's dead sister? It made no sense. He climbed out of bed changed out of his sweat soaked pyjamas into some fresh ones and made his way down to the common room. The fire had gone out and there was an eerie chill that swept across him as he set his feet on the floor. It was completely deserted, except for one dark figure stood looking out the window.
“Hello?” Fred enquired hoping whoever it was would answer.
The dark figure turned around, still shrouded in shadow and answered in a familiar, yet unrecognisable voice.
“The time for vengeance is nearing. All those who stand in my way will be eliminated.”
“Excuse me?” said Fred, a little bemused by the familiar stranger.
“DO NOT TEST MY PATIENCE! I COME FROM THE DARKEST SOURCE OF POWER, FAR BEYOND THAT OF ANY LIVING WITCH OR WIZARD. AND I... WILL...HAVE...MY...REVENGE!” The figure shrieked like a Banshee, before collapsing to the floor. All of a sudden the shadows lifted, and the fire that had all but burnt out, sprang back into life.
Fred fell back with the force of it, but managed to stay on his feet He looked up to see Keilana laying in a heap on the floor. It was her voice he had heard, or at least a part of her. He ran over to her and scooped her up in his arms and decided the best place for her was the infirmary, although how he was going to explain all this to Madame Pomfrey, he had yet to work out.
