Chapter 6
Gabbens POV:
I walked into the forbidden forest with a frown and a smile. I guess you'd call that a smfowlie? Why do I have that? Well... I think I just left the one thing that could make me happy in this world behind me. Sure I would be coming back, but when? I wish I hadn't left at all. I've only been gone for 5 minutes! I've never felt this way before. Ahhh! Who put that tree there? While walking in the forest I walked into a tree, smart Gabben... Ok come on Gardner, keep your head in the game.
I moved the stupid tree away as I came to a clearing. I changed into a lion and started to smell around. I walked out to where I saw the smoke and sure enough there they were. I had never really seen a Death Eater this up close before. Sure I had seen them in the newspaper but not like this. They were acting like animals. I saw Death Eaters picking on other Death Eaters. Talk about being a team. Note the sarcasm please. Oh no... What am I gonna do to get them out of here. I haven't thought this far yet. A box sat next to a tent that two people were guarding. Hmmm that looks like a start.
I jumped out and grabbed the box in my mouth. I took off into the forest just as they started firing hexes at me. I don't think they even knew what I was. I ran further into the forest thanking God for my fast feet. After a good 3 hours of running I had to stop. I changed back and hid behind a tree. They were about 40 feet away from me. Ok, plan two. I changed again and jumped out at them scaring them to death, only one was smart enough to stun me. The spell hit me right in my left back leg.
The next thing I knew I was sitting up in human form tied to a tree. Perfect. This really was going to be easy. Yep there was the box by two Death Eaters again. I still acted passed out as my right hand turned into a lions paw. I moved a claw up to the rope. I turned my paw around and cut the rope with the claw. A Death Eater heard the rope snap so he walked over to check on me. Before he knew or anyone saw a thing I swung my leg around his neck pulling him to the ground making him pass out. With a fast spell I switched clothes with him and retied him up in my place. Putting his mask on I turned to the Death Eater tied to the tree. He had black hair. Mine was blonde. I pulled out my wand andturned his hair a dirty blonde just before another Death Eater came by. Ha Ashley, and Krel said that little trick would get me know where in life.
"Hey! Stay away from him!" A Death Eater walked over to me to see what I was doing. When he was satisfied I had done nothing he turned to me.
"Your the messenger right?" What luck. I thought as I nodded.
"Well, what are our orders?" Even better I thought. Why make them fallow me or drag them with me to Sweden when they can go there themselves.
"Um..." I tried to make my voice different. I have a deep voice, or so I'm told.
"We are to report to The Dark Lord in Sweden. He needs our help with the resistant." The Death Eater looked at me as though he didn't believe me.
"What about the Potter boy?"
"Potter can wait, this needs to be done now. You will fallow me to just out side Nikkaluokta." The Death Eater pulled his wand out but I was faster. I hit him with a burning curse before he could left his wand.
"You take me for a fool!? How Dare you pull your wand out on The Dark Lords messenger!"
"I am sorry! Please! Mercy!" I said the counter curse making the Death Eater run away for safety I hadn't noticed that a group had gathered around us. The Death Eaters looked at me threw there masks waiting for my next word.
"Pack your things. We leave in an hour." From what I learned traps would be set up anywhere around Nikkaluokta. I only hoped that it was true.
*********************
One hour later they were already to go. I was surprised, I thought that I would have to hex a few. But I'm guessing after my burning hex they didn't want to try me. I told them the aperating point and where I would meet them. They nodded and with a loud snap they were gone. This was way to easy. I turned around to a punch in the face. I fell to the ground with my mouth bleeding. One of the masked Death Eaters didn't go. The punch made my mask and hood fall off.
"I knew it!" came a cold hard voice.
I went for my wand but it wasn't there. I looked up to see the Death Eater with my wand in his hands. He pointed it at me and the next thing I knew I felt a pain I had never felt and never wanted to feel again. Then just as the pain started to go away I got a good kick in the face. I grabbed his foot making him fall to the ground. The Death Eater didn't see this sudden move coming so I kicked him in what I think was his chest. My wand went flying. I grabbed it and pointed it at his neck.
"Rapnasle!" The Death Eater started to slowly fall asleep. I didn't want to hurt him so I put a sleeping spell over him. It would only last for a few hours but that was all I needed. I got up as soon as I knew he was out. I moved a hand to my lip. The ass made me bleed. Ah, oh well. I'll get him back later. With a snap I was in the small town of Nikkaluokta. Right as I opened my eyes 4 men jumped me.
"P�st�r din kodnamn, alias!" (State your code name) Asked one with there wand at my neck.
"R�d lejon Gardner!" (Red Lion Gardner) They got up and what I knew to be a Leader walked up to me. I bowed slowly to him.
"Gabben Elijah. I am Matthew Bj�rn Leader 4." He was an older man, a lot older then me anyways. He looked to be in his late 40's.
"I was told you might come. Have you good news for me?"
"Yes Leader Bj�rn. I have a group of Death Eaters waiting for you in the forest." I panted starting to feel the pain in my head where that foot hit me.
"Really? How many?"
"I'd say 9, but I think most of them are under a spell to make them look like Death Eaters, and they have one that will be there in less then an hour. I put a spelling hex on him but it won�t last much longer. He is very powerful." Matthew looked at Gabben then turned to him men.
"SKOGEN SEGER! (Forest battle) Wands and cloaks now! I want them alive!" With that the men got in formation.
"You will come with me." Matthew said to Gabben as they started to run into the forest.
It was really all a big blur as I look back on it. All I remember was running over bodies to Leader Matthew and taking his curse. When I got to him he was on the ground in pain. I hid him under a tree then turned around. Long cuts started to grow on my body. Blood started flowing out of me. It hurt so bad, I thought I was dying. I'd never get to see Ashley again. No! I had to stay awake. The blood wouldn't stop though. I passed out lying in my own blood.
