章節 51: Ambush

I gripped my wand tightly, my body shaking. I couldn't move, even if I wanted to. Mari was next to me, her hand gripping mine tightly. "It'll be okay," she whispered in my ear and then we heard footsteps. The sound made my heart stop and I couldn't breathe for fear of what would happen next. The noise got louder as the other people started getting closer and finally, they stopped where we were hiding in this abandoned cave. 

Silence froze us all for a minute or two and it felt like an eternity before someone said anything else."

"Is anyone there?" someone called out from outside of the cave's entranceway, their voice echoing against the rocks that surrounded us on all sides.

Suddenly, a group of men with curly hair showed up and we got our wands ready to fight. "Hey, we found someone!" one of them shouted.

"Take them down!" Tisiah shouted.
