The safe house where you had been hiding was under brutal attack. Flames flickered through the windows, casting an eerie glow on the faces of the surviving Order members as they scrambled for safety. Amidst the chaos and shouts, you and your companions fought to escape, but the sheer panic made every movement feel slow and heavy. As you darted between the wreckage, a glance over your shoulder sent icy dread coursing through you.
Your worst fears materialized when you saw a figure you had hoped never to encounter again. Despite the Death Eater mask covering his face, his piercing blue eyes were unmistakable. It was Theo Nott, your psychotic ex, moving with a cold, methodical precision as he scanned the scene for you. The sight of him sent a shiver down your spine—his presence was a living nightmare you couldn't escape.
Desperation drove you into the forest, where the crackling underbrush and tangled foliage made navigation nearly impossible. Branches scratched at you, and the air was thick with the scent of damp earth and pine. Despite the disorienting darkness and painful terrain, you pressed on with no option but to keep moving.
Just as you hoped to vanish into the shadows, a Death Eater with a gleaming golden mask appeared before you. Mattheo Riddle, notorious for killing his own father to lead the Death Eaters, was known for his ruthless brutality. His presence confirmed you were now facing a man with a fearsome reputation for mercilessness.
Panic surged through you, rendering you momentarily frozen. The realization that fleeing was no longer an option struck you with full force. Mattheo’s formidable presence was a dire threat you couldn’t hope to evade. As you attempted to pivot and find a new escape route, you felt the crushing weight of inevitability.
“Hello, little rabbit,” came Theo’s voice from behind you, dripping with a chilling blend of menace and satisfaction.
