Chapter 9 Fear ran over Gabben's body like fire. He never thought that he would see the man in front of him now. A tall thin man with dark black hair and even darker blue eyes smiled at Gabben's soft ones. It was Gabriel Gardner 11th, Gabben's cousin. The last time Gabben had seen Gabriel he had short blonde hair. Gabben knew why it was black. When the Niekto spell is used on a person their hair turns black. No one knows why, just that most who have been sent with the spell are either dead or have black hair. Gabben remembered hearing a story told by his grandfather that the spell burned up person. He knew now that it wasn't true. Gabben looked Gabriel over. He showed no emotion just disgust. "I see you've burned your hair Gabe. Did a short snout fart on your head?" Gabriel pulled his wand out and yelled "CRUCIO" at Gabben. Gabben fell to the ground screaming. "You have what you wanted! Now leave!" William yelled at Gabriel. Gabriel shrugged his shoulders. "If I must." Gabriel turned to his men. "Take my cousin to my tent and lock him in there. Then pack your things." Gabriel turned to go as two death eaters ran up and picked up Gabben. William watched them take Gabben away. Just as William was starting to turn Gabriel stopped. "Kill him." He whispered to a tall hooded death eater next to him. The death eater laughed and sent a spell at William. William kept walking as the spell went right through him and hit a tree. The death eaters stood opened mouthed looking at William. William kept walking as if nothing had happened. At the moment Doug stood up yelling a battle cry. The death eaters spun around and sent spells at Doug. But before they hit him two Swedish short snout dragons came out of the trees right in front of Doug. The spells bounced off of there hides and back at the death eaters. Small burst of fire filled the camp as the dragons flew over it. Doug and William were on one dragons back sending spells at the running death eaters. Gabben smiled and stood up. The death eaters holding him pulled out there wands. With a small flick Gabben's wand was now a sword. The death eaters looked confused but started sending spells at Gabben. Gabben fell to his back missing the spells. He fell right in front of there ankles. In less then a second the two death eaters were on the ground screaming, there ankles lay feet away. Gabben ran past them with blood on his face and a frown. A death eater ran right at him yelling. Gabben set his sword in the mans stomach with a grunt. The man stopped and looked up at Gabben. "Blurda!" The man burst into flames. In seconds the death eater was just a pile of ash. Behind him Gabben heard clapping. Gabben spun around to see his cousin smiling. All around them were death eaters running to hide or being burnt up by fire. One dragon was roaring as spells hit it's eyes. William and Doug were now off the dragons and fighting the death eaters in battle. Gabriel smiled with his arms folded. Gabben, panting and blood all over glared at Gabriel. The two men looked at each other knowing what was to come. Gabriel pulled out his wand and said the Niekto spell. His wand turned into a sword that now pointed at Gabben. Gabben pulled his sword up in front of himself. In a flash of steal the two met. They stood where they were. Only the swords were moving. Gabben went for Gabriel's right side but was blocked. With a growl Gabben went for Gabriel's left arm but was blocked again. The same was for Gabriel. Gabben was blocking all of his blows. They were moving so fast there swords were blurs of red and silver around them. They met in a lock looking right in to each others eyes. Gold and blue sparks flew out of the swords and into the sky. Gabriel then shoved Gabben back making him fall down on his back. Gabben's sword flew out of his hand. Gabriel picked it up and stood over Gabben with a smirk. Gabben's own sword was now at his neck. A few drops of blood ran down his neck and in to his robes. As the swords tip rested on his neck. "You have no idea how long I have waited... to kill you. The years of pain and torture your hand has sent me..." Gabriel's smile grew. "To think... what would grandfather Amos think if he knew that you were killed by his wand. The wand that he gave you hoping that you would one day be a magical king. You failed him Gabben..." Gabben growled at Gabriel. "We were kids Gabe! They were only jokes. I am sorry for the pain I ha-" "You will never know the pain you put on me! I should have been given Amos Gardner's wand! Not a stupid cat like you! I am stronger, smarter, more powerful then you! I am the oldest male Gardner! Gryffindor's gift should have come to me!" Gabriel yelled. More blood fell from Gabben's neck. "But that doesn't matter now. I do not need Gryffindor's old powers or our fool of a grandfathers wand." Gabriel laughed softly. "The dark Lord has shown me powers that even Gryffindor himself could not even dream of! And with this power I will kill you dear cousin." Gabriel smiled down at Gabben. His cold eyes meeting Gabben's soft blue eyes. In a flash of steal the sword in Gabriel's hand flew away. Then in another flash Gabriel's sword was flying over the tree's. Gabriel stood in shock and fear. He looked down where Gabben was laying to see him gone! Gabriel spun around and saw that William and Doug were gone as well. The only things left were the death eaters around him and a dragon. All were dead but him. Gabriel looked up into the sky and screamed a scream of a mad man. He had lost the one thing he wanted. Gabben Gardner's life. |
