 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash was in the middle of casting bombarda, but then.... DRAGONS WERE BEING TORTURED. MAMIE WAS DOWN. SHE HAD FORGOTTEN ONE OF CARSON'S FINGERS. And she was about to fall over. She grabbed a nearby pitchfork and used it to keep herself up. "Mamie! Are you okay?" They were supposed to run away now. She looked into Carson's eyes sadly. This was the end, wasn't it? She was going back. "Wrong. They won't hurt you if you aren't with us. As long as you're a pureblood, you'll be fine. Ummmm... I'm sorry I didn't put your fingers back right, and also don't die, okay?" And with that, she ran for the building that the other adult was telling them to go to, hoping that the other muggleborns would follow them. Maybe this would be the last time she ever saw Carson, who was practically a kid. Either she'd die, or he would. Or maybe both of them. Tragic. What about Minjae? He was headed down a death path too. There were so many people who she might never see again. Like Williamson, who she had been mad at two seconds ago, and the lady who was in charge. So many people were down right now. She wondered if any of them were dead. |
