The young Witch woke up screaming.
The taste of dirt and blood tanged in her mouth, and a deep pain radiated through her body. She tried to open her eyes but the light of the midday sun blinded her, so she submitted back to the darkness. Her other senses would need to be her guide.
Slowly, she extended her fingers to claw at the ground, tracing soft grass. The rustle of nearby leaves and the hoot of Diricawl confirmed she was outside.
She breathed in the smells surrounding her, the crisp air and the rich, earthy smell of trees that reminded her of her school days. It almost felt like home.
Her breath began to steady, and she concentrated more closely on her surroundings.
In the distance, the sound of the soft squelch of boots on rain-soaked leaves could be heard. It quickly grew louder, alerting her to danger far too late. Where was her wand?
Frantically, she grasped at her robes, searching to no avail and forcing her eyes open to the harsh glare of the sun.
She stilled as she caught the shadow of a looming figure moving cautiously towards her.
Her blurry vision began sharpening as he crouched down towards her.
His messy dark black hair framed his bespectacled face, and kindness and concern radiating from his rich brown eyes reminded her of another boy, at another time.
Where was her fight? She would never usually let someone get so close. She had nothing left to give.
‘Mother!’ the deep ring of his voice echoed out.
The last thing she saw was the wisp of what looked like smoke, forming into a majestic Stag and galloping off into the distance.
Darkness claimed her once more.
